We're often asked if using a clicker works during training. We have a short answer to this question and that's a YES >> BUT !!
However:
Before you can use a clicker, you'll need to do a lot of special training without a dog.

Understanding the Difference
Over the years, the way we view dominance and social hierarchy in dogs has evolved. Our interaction methods with dogs have changed as well. It’s important to distinguish between the terms dominance and social rank (hierarchy).
