hey yall,
I just got back from college and wanted to refresh buddy's tricks, and hopefully get him back to listening to us. I figured that clicker training would be the way to go. The way I read was to start off by clicking then giving a treat, and do this several times till he learns that the click means treat. Well I started doing this tonight and it started off not too bad, about 10 clicks in he started to freak out when I clicked. He didn't really do anything bad just got scared and would try to go hide in the basement. Any idea how to get around this. Now whenever I click he runs off.
