As I was on my way to my meeting, I realized I hadn't actually answered your question. It was all I could do to not turn the car around, run in type this out and then go to the meeting late LOL

No, you are not doing it right. Not a big deal though, I think it took a bit for everyone who is involved in clicker training to figure it out :-)

The clicker is used to mark the desired behavior, not to stop the undesirable behavior. Only click/treat when she is doing what you want her to do.

Funny, quick story on clicker training gone wrong. When I first brought Petri home, I decided that I'd use the clicker to potty train him. I would religiously click and treat every time he hiked his little leg. But then he'd still come in the house and pee! Then it "clicked" with me, I had taught him that he got rewards simply for lifting his leg, not for actually peeing outside. To this day, several years later, he will run outside (especially if we've been working with the clicker) hike his leg (no pee mind you) and look at me expecting a c/t!
