Hey everyone,
We're having a bit of a setback with Cheza's training... she's gotten to the stage where when we give her a command, she'll decide that she doesn't have to do it and walk away instead. We've been clicker training her, and went right back to the beginning with lots of praise and high value treats to give her a refresher... but it's beginning to look to me that she doesn't "get" the clicker... she associates the noise with a reward, but doesn't seem to get the process. Like she doesn't understand that the click means 'I like that.' and she wont ever repeat a thrown behavior.
Is there anything that could help clarify this for her? Or would another method of training be more appropriate?
Thanks!
