I started with her about a week ago. All the other dogs look at my other hand when I click and treat so I switched hands and they picked that up as well.
The Bloodhound is doing much better, I think he is just more retarded than the others.....

Sometimes retardedness helps! haha.
Does she like to chase the ball? You can click and throw a ball as a reward. Get her in the habit of looking around when you click? It's not the best option, but i gather you like your fingers?
That's really funny. It sounds like a tricky case.

That is something that I dod not think of....she will chose tug over food and she LOVES to chase a ball, so maybe with her it is "click...toy"
THANKS David......

Carole it sounds like Jesea is like my girl when she wants something you have to be on the ball or else she is in afterburn and by the time you blink you feel those pearly whites, then you are to late.
I think you probably need to rethink your strategy of the clicker if you want to continue to use it. I'd be looking at anticipating Jesea's reaction to the click. Have the food ready to go in another hand or ready to spit at her at the exact moment of the click and be prepared for it.
Though I think at this point you need to take a step back and go back to basics with her with the clicker. Sit in a chair with Jesea in front of you with a leash that you can step on so she can't come out of a sit. Clicker in one hand treats in the other. Then just start click ..treat click ...treat switch hands spit the treats change it up give her lots of praise when she takes the treat and not the clicker. She just needs to know that yes the clicker means good things but the clicker itself is not the reward.

Hmmm, this makes sense as well.
Okay, back to basics.....I am trying the clicker training since I broke my elbow and the weather and daylight savings is pretty much starting to screw with my outdoor schedule.
She is obedient and responds well, although, afterburn is a good description because when she is up she is UP.......
I normally can keep up with her, and am on the ball, but maybe I should go back to the Bloodhound or the Lab until I get the hang of it and the splint is no longer needed.....
