I am thinking of incooperating clicker training along with my voice marker. I can make the exact sound of a clicker with my mouth. Will this be a plus in clicker training or is this not a good idea to do?
I figure that being able to make this sound is a great advantage of alway's having my natural clicker with me.
Any reasons not to do this?
What is the correct way to slowly incooperate voice markers over clicker sounds?
Is it possible to increase toy drive buy using clickers? For example, as the dog gets more interested in the toy of choice, to click and rewarwd with food as the dog shows interest. Will the food after the toy drive be counter productive for building interest in the toy?
Thats how me and another trainer have trained his dog to like playing with balls. Put all his toys up and place a ball on the ground. Ignore the dog 100% unless they look directly at the ball, then click and treat. If the walk to the ball and nudge it click and give a "jackpot" reward...a few treats and lots of praise. Do this in 15 minute sessions a few times a day and your dog will soon associate the ball with good things. Some dogs learn sooner and some later.
And if you are using your mouth why not just say :"yes". Its not the click thats important. Its having a consistent marker.
I'm not sure about grip, I would think that would depend a lot on the dog. I would go out on a limb and say if you did enough prep work, associated enough good things with the ball then perhaps he would begin to like it for its own sake. Also click and treat for tight grip etc
