Hi everyone.
I just tried clicker with my dog and she was very scared of the sound. I tried clicking and then throwing her a treat but that didn't work. Yes I was using the i-click.
Now she won't come near me!
Sadie is a mastiff/boxer mix about 3 years old. I got her from a shelter and she was very timid and shy at first. The shelter people told me they believe her owners just left her in their backyard all the time so the dog they had would have some company. When that dog died they returned Sadie to the shelter. She seems afraid whenever I raise my hand like to wave at someone also. She also has no idea how to play. In fact at first she would run from me when I would throw a ball or toy.
Sadie is doing better now and isn't near as timid as she was. She is very affectionate with me and will run and play some now.
I hope I haven't undone all I had accomplished with her in the last month. Maybe clicker training ISN'T for all dogs!
