Dogs, ducks, and a guardian goose?

[Everose]

We have some clickers (I train my bunnies with them) and I will buy some treats and toys next time we are out. Also I will be buying tomatoes and peas for the pekin so that he gets something fun too.

Rose is super smart so I have no doubt that she will catch on, also if I'm playing with her walking her and grooming more often she probably won't be so bored.

I train my dog with pets not treats or clickers, b/c what if I forget the treats, then what. You can't forget your hand.

I think dog training depends on what motivates a particular dog (praise/treats/clicker) or a combination, and the experience of the person. I have found that I am just not coordinated enough to effectively use the clicker method. I use praise and treats. As the dog masters the skill the praise is always there and treats are given at fewer intervals.
Nothing wrong with seeking professional help if needed.

The value of being able to instantly reward your puppy becomes a lifelong habit in your ten year old dog. I haven't used a clicker in five years.
Successful dog training is when the behavior becomes the reward in itself.
