Argon is the first dog I've tried clicker training with, and frankly, it's not going well. I spent a lot of time charging the clicker for him, and he understands that click=treat, but he doesn't seem to be able to relate the click back to his own behavior.
As soon as he hears the click, he stops whatever he was doing for the treat, but then gets so focused on the remain treats that he won't repeat the behavior. He does this whether he can see the treats or not.
He almost seems to treat the clicker like an automatic treat dispenser. Should I go back to the beginning and try charging the clicker again? Other suggestions?
