Just did this with my new dug Yoshi (3-4 years old, black English Lab, rescued with separation anxiety). This worked PERFECTLY for me. Make sure to follow her instructions and I am sure they can work for you. By following the instructions Yoshi went from being almost joint at my hip to me being able to walk around my flat, take my time and even be out of sight.
You must be patient and consistent. Be happy, be firm, but don’t be angry. Just think back to school, did you like the shouty teacher?

- Thanks Diane!
… 
Yes, I’ve seen people do it your way too. I was just worried that in that case, the dog would see the “click” as the release signal…therefore when you fade the clicker away, they won’t have a clear signal of when the exercise is finished and therefore might be more likely to jump up before it’s time…whereas I see clicking after the release word as like rewarding for the WHOLE exercise (like chaining) ie. staying down AND only getting up for the release word.

When I teach the ” …
When I teach the “release” part, I click and treat before giving the release, and don’t C/T after saying my release word– and that works OK, too. I want the dog to be rewarded for staying down, not getting up…. though I understand the logic of your approach too. They both work

Hello. I’ve got an …
Hello. I’ve got an 11 month old German Shorthaired Pointer, and ever since I got him I’ve been using the “forcing”, like pushing his butt down to teach him the command “sit”. I recently bought a clicker and I want to start training him with it. So do I start completely from the beginning? Like, waiting for him to sit and then click, and then after a while introducing the word “sit” again? ‘Cause he already knows sit, down, left and right paw, jump, heel and basic stuff like that.

We didn’t start Honey until about 2yrs but wish we started earlier – from when we brought her home. The earlier you start, the better but it’s never too late! Check out my Intro to CT video - PART 1, which shows you how to start, especially the “switch on the clicker” exercise which is VERY important. Good luck!

You can start …
You can start clicker from Day 1! That is what’s so great about it – it is completely positive and communicates to the dog in a way he understands (as opposed to assuming they understand English!) – Clicker is IDEAL for puppies – it teaches you to look for & reward good behaviour in your pup – when most people ignore that and only give attention when the dog is being naughty - so encourages good habits from the beginning, rather than trying to fix problems later.

Were you starving in that movie? I saw you watching the foodables hand very closely. Down stay is my best exercise. I often practice it on my own, especially when I don’t want to come into the house.
