(VICT) Re: I got my dog to come using the clicker

That is neat Jackie. What I would do to get the sit following the come is to 
then ask for sit and click and treat for it. If you do this enough, 
eventually it will be so natural- like second nature. Others here may teach 
this differently. I find for me, its actually easier for me to do Thane's 
leash connection in a *stand* but that has to do with his height and me 
being in a wheelchair.
If your dog does not know the sit command, I will let others discuss the 
*perfect* clicker training way as I did some luring with Thane. Once he 
understood I withdrew the lure. Luring can if you are not careful create 
problems though like it did for me in teaching *stand* It took forever to be 
able to remove the lure for Thane. There's a fine line between using it as 
an assist early on (for those who feel the need for it) and not withdrawing 
it soon enough so they feel its part of the process of standing. This is 
especially true of dogs like Border Collies! Silly guys are just too smart 
for their own goods sometimes.
