All Dog Breeds Adult Dog Wanted

Jeanne, absolutley. You raise a dnirefeft point about which reinforcers to use which I agree with. As I say in my book, the customer is always right and the dog decides what's reinforcing, not us ). But whatever you choose to use to power up the clicker, I feel you should stay with that reinforcer or class of reinforcers to maintain the power of the conditioned reinforcer.You could just as easily power up the clicker on a toy, but you would be classically conditioning a dnirefeft response. Instead of salivating and relaxing, you'd have a dog that amps up when he hears the clicker.
