[nagdu] clicker training

[A.J. LaPointe]

I know when I was in training with my present guide, I asked my trainer to 
teach me clicker training... She never did..  How can I find a tutorial on 
this so that I can work on it.
I am having trouble teaching my dog to fetch an item.  He does great with a 
ball but, a spoon, cane, keys ect, no can do.  I try to put it in his mouth 
and let him smell a piece of treat that he loves but, no way.. Andy

When we came home after our training at TSE, I used clicker training to get
my Girl to find the poles with the buttons, at light intersections.
It worked great and she does a great job finding them no matter where we
are.

Hello:
I have heard some guide dog schools actually use clicker training, but the
handlers get to use leash corrections too. I I think clicker training is a
great thing, though I have some doubts about it.
