When it comes to clicker training I really enjoy it. The thing is I am a newbie, and really don't know what I am doing. I wish I could see someone shape a behavior; I think that would help a lot with MY training

The trainer I am working with currently is a clicker trainer. We haven't gotten in to much clicker stuff. She gave me one of Karen's books to read, and we went over a few things about clicker training. The main thing I have a problem with is trying to work the clicker, leash, treats etc. all at the same time.

As far as leash work, she said that when walking you can click him multiple times as he is walking to mark the behavior, and then treat later, say when you stop. Is that correct? It would seem so b/c the clicker is marking the behavior and the dog will remember what he/she was doing to get the treat & clicks.
