I have a couple of questions in reference to using a clicker and having a set schedule and outline for training my pup.

You could use clicker and yes together but it's better for the dog to use them separately.

I find clicker is better for commands where I want my dog to not be totally focused on me. I use a clicker when I will be encouraging the dog to work away from me and figure things out. (for free shaping a behavior, etc) I use yes when I want the dog to access the reward from my hand. I find YES is much more convenient for me because I am notorious for forgetting my clicker somewhere :)

I always mix up my training so my dogs don't get bored with working on the same things in the same order. all training is dog dependent though, some dogs start figuring out a pattern if you always do things in the same order and I want to avoid that. I want then actually listening and engaged with me, not simply running through the list because I've been too predictable.

There is no set schedule I can offer (we get this question a LOT) , we have a short video here on why we don't use or give timelines. Training depends so much on your dog's motivation, your goals and your skill and consistency as a trainer. Click here to watch the video.

You may want to check out the new workshop we released online recently, we had Michael Ellis here for 3 days and filmed the entire event. Based on your questions I think you. would get a lot out of it. It was such great info and everyone learned so much.
