[NAGDU] Tapering off clicker

Krokus likes to creep up to curbs, doors, steps, .. Occasionally, I've
tried clicking and treating at downcurbs, which fixes the problem pretty
quickly. But then I stop, and pretty soon we're back to creeping up. So I
guess I'm stopping too soon, or not randomizing my clicking so he never
knows when he might get a treat.
I'm trying to do better this round. Sometimes I just plain forget to bring
the stuff with me, but I'm trying to randomize more deliberately than that.
So, how do I know when I don't need to c&t every downcurb? Stopping at
curbs is, after all, a behavior he already knows well; I'm just trying to
tighten it up a bit. When he's getting it well, then do I just click every
other one, or skip every third, or something like that? How do I know when
I can stop clicking altogether?
