So I've started clicker training Jaxon. Our first session I spent charging the clicker. Click - Treat - Click - Treat - Click - Treat
The next session, I repeated the charging process a few times before beginning any commands. Jaxon already was sitting so of course this came easy. The down command was slightly difficult. He did eventually respond with the lure method and once he got the hang of getting down, then getting clicked and treated it came a little easier.
My question...how long or how many training sessions should I repeat before moving to the next command. Also, Jaxon sits so readily that as soon as I say his name he sits. Should I click and treat as I am capturing this behavior? And if so, how often? Every time I would be continually treating. I guess I'm asking should I click and treat this behavior only when I am in the process of working with him.
One more...what should I expect from a 14 week old puppy? He seems to be doing well to me and we've only been working for a few days on click training, but I would guess any delays would be on my part more than his since I'm still getting the hang of this.
Sorry I've got so many questions! Jennifer..you helped me so much before...any thoughts?
