How can I make this a short post? There is no way to do it LOL Get a cup of coffee and a comfy chair
*note on treats, you want them to be small enough that you can use alot but large enough that she knows she's getting something. I can get about 45-50 treats out of one hotdog, I cut it in 1/4th length ways and then slice off about nickle thick slices from there. Dried liver, tiny bits of dried cheese, leftover chicken also work well
Have you "charged" Suzy to the clicker? Meaning, does she know what it means? Does she know that clicker=treat? If not, let's start there. The easiest way to do this is to take her - with the clicker and some really great treats - to a room with no distractions - I used the smallest bathroom in the house with the door shut. Put the lid down have a seat and get to work
At first you're just going to click and then toss her a treat. You may have to do this several times but the point of this is to teach her to associate the clicker with great and wonderful things. As soon as she knows the clicker is awesome, you can move to step 2
I started Chi off with games and tricks before we moved to obedience and leash work - just to really impress upon her that she controls the click and that the click always = good. Fanny packs make clicker training much easier because you can easily always have your clicker and treats on hand.
Our first excercise was 101 things to do with a box. Armed with a bowl full of hotdogs, the clicker and a medium sized box, I've taught Chi all sorts of neat things
Just place the box on the floor, if she noses it, steps toward it, looks at it, click and treat. It won't take long for her to realize that the box has something to do with this game. ***Must add that timing is very important, make sure you click while she is exhibiting the desired behavior and you can let her choose the behavior, don't tell her or direct her. Her figuring it out is part of the game*** Say she looks at the box and you c/t (c/t=click/treat) a few times and you know that she's got the game figured out - hold off on the next click/treat. Let her look at the box, eventually she's going to step toward it or paw it, that's when you c/t again. You're upping the ante gradually on these behaviors. Through excercises like this, I've taught Chi to pick up boxes and baskets and bring them to me - now we just have to get her to put her toys in them LOL
Another neat game is a lottery game. While working in the kitchen, I will c/t both dogs if they are in a certain spot. They only get the c/t if they are on the rug by the door. I don't say or do anything if they are anywhere else but it didn't take them long to figure out that they "might" get a c/t if they are on the rug but they certainly won't get anything if they are anywhere else.
I would suggest working on some of these excercises before you start with the leash work.
When you do start the leash work, start in the house with few or no distractions and then move to the yard before you take it on the road.
Have your clicker and treats handy, when she is where you want her to be and doing what you want her to do, c/t. When she's not, no c/t. The tree method works for some (although I will admit I finally broke now use both traditional obedience and clicker training for most of our ob work). If she's acting like a nut and pulling, just stand still, don't move an inch. As soon as there is slack in the leash, c/t and move forward. If she pulls again, repeat the tree thingy. Warning it could take you over an hour to make it around the block! But she'll catch on
*I've got some great links to some awesome clicker sites and lists that I will post when I get back, am on my way out the door now though
Good luck
