I have just googled the term 'Loading the clicker' is it like this Dan Here’s how to you can easily train your dog to respond to the clicker before moving on to basic and advanced training. The following steps are often referred to as “loading†the clicker. Begin with your dog in a quiet area. Have a handful of your dog’s favorite treats ready. Ideally, this should be done when your dog is hungry. Press the clicker and immediately give your dog a treat. Repeat 5-10 times. You can test your success by clicking when your dog is not paying attention to you. If your dog responds to the click by suddenly looking at you, then looking for a treat, you are ready to move on. Next, begin teaching your dog basic commands. At the exact moment your dog performs the desired action, press the clicker. Follow with a treat and praise. this is how i was doing it, only problem was that after 3 or 4 treats i got the wrong effect, the pup wouldn't take the treat at all and sulked away. I'm thinking now that i should have built up to it, as in, say only two click/treats then leave it 1/2hr then do it again. then over the course of a week or so built up to being able to click/treat when ever without worrying. bit like the 'Starfire' CD and the way they do it with gunfire and porn music. (that's what the wife calls it) (i wouldn't know dear ) i will wait for advice first as i don't what to make things worse than they are, which knowing my luck, I'm mess it up more.hehe

I'm hoping it is a stage, im going back to see the breeder for a little help tomorrow (Thurs), she has kept a bitch back for herself and says hers is a little nervy at the moment. as what to do, she said to carry on with normal daily life but stop any purposeful clicking at the moment as we don't want to encourage the behavior at the moment if it is just a stage. Loading the clicker? nope not heard of it. could you enlighten me please. regards Phil.

Im not going out in the field and shaking the wifes knickers for him . if its gone quite in the house then we know that teague is either in the wash basket or ironing pile looking for the gusset. he will walk around with tail wagging with them hanging out his mouth. wife not happy.hehe. just sat here now tapping away on the keyboard and he's got up and left the room. he was asleep on the vet bed. got up looked at me and has gone upstairs. blumming weird dog. yesterday we where walking one of the fields and next thing i know there's a bang from other side of hedge. pups up on back legs trying to look over headge. then another bang and hes running up and down trying to see what it was. tail waging like billio. it was a gas crow gun, i didnt know it was there. scared the poo out of me. so im not overly worries about the bangs as i thing, as long as introduced correctly, he will be fine with it. I got a gun out the cabinet earlier to clean, teague walks in to room, See's gun. his head drops below shoulder height, looking up at me, turns, tails between legs and he scampers out the room. he use to be fine with me getting the guns out, he would come over and sniff them, not bothered by them. Is this just a scary stage that hes going though.

100g of skinners puppy kibbles twice a day. 9am when kids have gone to school and the house is a little quieter and then at 7-8pm once kids are in bed and the wife and i have finished eating. he sometimes does leave some of the morning fed if there's something better going on. he's a house dog and the wife will not see it any other way. he should be on between 220 and 300g if going by the side of the packet. he get given 200g if he eat then he eats if not then he has to wait till next meal. he does get a few charcoal biscuits or boneo's during the day.

with his treats no not at all really. hes a take it or leave it sort of dog. sometimes he will do anything for a treat but other times he will do something for a treat and then when you give him a treat he spits it back at you. hes the same with food, some days he eats, others he doesn't. he lost so much weight that in the end we put a tea spoon of mashed fish in with his skinners food just to get him in the idea of it. he doesn't do chore yet, we are trying to keep everything fun. the only time the law is laid down is the biting and nipping. by law we only tell him 'no' and either a tap on the nose or just hold mouth shut and a 'no' nothing every to put his tail between his legs and never a shout. we might be doing this wrong as well.hehe.

Hello NTTF, thanks for looking in. If in the house and theres a click he looks, head drops and a moves away from the noise, docked tail between the legs, he will leave the room if he can. if he hears it a second time then he hides. his hiding seams to be anything as long as theres something over his head, IE: a chair, ironing board or table. if he has nothing to hide under then its around the corner of something so he can see where the noise is coming from and then he will be laid down with chin on the floor. if there another click then he is trying to climb a door or window to get out of the situation. If its out in the garden then he will go and hide under a bush or again hide behind something. he does always look though, almost as if its a not sure what to do thing. he is scared but im not sure if its the click or something else. the clicker i have been trying to use is a like one of these. http://www.traininglines.co.uk/quick-click-541-0.html I was giving a sit or a down then as soon as his bum touches the floor i would click and feed treat. but after a few click/treats he stopped taking the treat and turned a way from it. where i have go to now is, i can now click the clicker if its in my pocket and he will come looking for it, but i have to be careful not to over do it. if i click the drill to change the speed then he will look up, as long as i dont do it a second time, if i do then he will move away. If he dosent see whats making the noise then he will come and see, you know the way they do it when there not sure. he will not come anywhere near my shed/workshop if im on my own, he sits as far away as he can and just looks over the wall, if the wife walks out then he will go with her down there, even if im in there banging a crashing. he will even come in the workshop with her but with me on my own then no chance. treat wise, i was using sausage but it was a pain so i changed over to a shop bought soft treat, gosh they stink, i loves them, well he did. now i have gone back to the sausage because of the click problem but im mixing it up and giving a bit of sausage one treat or two and then a shop treat. all treats i give are no bigger than 10mm and never anything that would be feed as a main feed. I have just been doing a few sits and that in the house and instead of going to him to treat i was throwing them to him. i dont spit treat.hehe. anyway after a few goes i clicked the clicker and throw the treat the clicker was behind my back. only done it 4 time but each time he jumped to the treat with out a worry. im not going to put my luck with this. I dont know if it is me over thinking this but the drill is yellow and so is the clicker. just a thought. im trying to give as much info as i can so sorry if im waffling. thanks again for any help that one can offer. kind regards Phil.

Is I doing something wrong or is it just his age. My pup is now 7 mths old today. he has totally switched off. will not come back when called. will not sit, or down and is scared of everything. He was a bold pup with nothing worrying him. he was scared by a t1t on new years at 1:30am, two gardens down, a display firework was let off just as pup was in mid flow. i thought it was save at that time of morning. with treats he will sit and down but out side he has no interest in treats so i sometimes have to put hand on bum and put him in a sit or own. not to worried about this as i think hes remembering. recall, hes back on lead or on the long lead problem is that hes gone scared. i have starfire and a few others, thunder, fireworks, house'n'town. not worried at all with any of them. only problem with starfire is the neighbours keep asking to borrow the cheese porn film.hehe. if you've heard it you'll know what i mean. the problem is CLICKS, anything that clicks and the tail goes between and off he runs. started with an electric stapler. all i was doing was stapling fabric to a board. it wasn't loud or anything. my parents were here and there old so i put pup in his crate after he had seid hello. he jumps and claws at them and bruises my parents skin so i put in in crate, working on stopping him jumping but i cant stop the parents coming around forever....can I? anyway, i was using the electric stapler, thinking nothing of it. parents left so let dog out. he didn't seam to worried so carried on. its the only thing i can think of that might of set him off. this was a month ago. around that time he started to show signs of panic when something clicked. we have just ignored it, until now. now if anything clicks he runs, snack box lid, changing the speed if the cordless drill, even if the house is quiet then the pc mouse clicking will panic him. I have tried to use the click trainer and treat. click give treat, click, give treat. if he see's the clicker he runs. behind my back with it then he was ok. until now, he will not take a treat now, he has even associated the treat bag with it and my pocket. put hand in pocket and he runs. is it something i did, or something i have done wrong. or is it one of his scary stages of life the they say cockers go though. he is even scared if there's another dog barking. I'm at a little lose now and not really sure what i should be doing. i don't what to mess things up even more so before i do anything else i thought best ask as its getting silly now. should i carry on and keep making the noises, if so then do i praise or ignore. or is it jut a stage that he'll grow out off. please help as at this rate he will just be a pet and not a companion for when im shooting. thanks Phil

Is there a cheaper way of sorting this out. I have only just bought a new 5 gun cabinet for my shotguns. now, after a lot of thought, i have decided to apply for a hmr and lr. i need locking cabinet for the bolts and ammo but it cant be kept in my gun cabinet as it has no top locker. can i use one of these digital safes you use for your money and passports. you know the ones that Aldi sell for £25. Im on a tight budget and it will be to tight if i have to change cabinets again. whats the law and how do i do this please. thanks all Phil

if you do cut to far and the leg slips out then just put a cut across the achilles tendon of the other leg. this stops it slipping. All i do so i dont have to carry and shoot is to hang the bunny from a tree or fence and then collect on the way back. get a loop of rope so it hangs over your shoulder and then to your hip. put the loop though the hock and hook over the top of legs. now just thread each rabbit down the rope. loop the rope over your shoulder like a shoulder bag. better still, take a lacky with you
