Thread: Clicker Training

I'm not trying to get ahead of myself but I'm now starting to buy things for the new arrival. I've read a bit about clicker training but not sure whether I should invest in this type.

Mostly because I'm wondering if all training is done with a clicker and they associate that with doing the right thing what happens in the field on dogs and birds when they do the right thing but instead of clicking I shoot or pass up the animal. if they're associating a click with correct behaviour will they think in the field that they are behaving incorrectly when they don't hear it? Or am I just over analyzing it?

I'm determined to make this dog a machine, and am willing to put all the work I have to into her to get her that way. I'm aware I'll make mistakes and have to let her be a pup but after all that I want a good hunting dog.

Cheers
