This is interesting. I was suggested to try the clicker training with Oakley, as she's blind and more attuned to sound. I haven't done it yet, but I'm leaning toward it.
I'll have to Google "clicker training" and find out more about it.
This concept is one I've heard of, but never really looked into. All the training I've ever done was with a standard chain collar and lead, so learning more about clicker training is pretty interesting.
Off to bed...

It worked great for my rescue GSD who had handler trust issues.

starrchar,
Not to hijack this thread, but check out the "One Thing" post, for even more ways to foster dog/handler trust.

Thanks Mudwick, Will do! She is MUCH improved from when I got her two years ago, but there is always room for improvement.

I love the theory behind clicker training for tricks. Karen Pryor's "101 Things to Do with a Box" for example.
My problem with clicker training is that I lack the physcial coordination to time the "click" with the desired behavior, and either miss the oppertunity. Or I click at the right time, then get my treat hand and my click hand mixed up, and try to feed a very confused dog a clicker.

Association is important,...So the faster you can deliver the cue or correction,
the easier it is for the dog the identify it with the behavior. Operant conditioning
101. Too long between cue and behavior is not good. This why the clicker works
very well.

GSDtravels, I don't have a timeline to move from inside to outside. I'm still learning myself. 
Right now I do both, any and all. I do find they pay more attention to me inside. LOL
The comments about breaking down each excercise into very small pieces is super. And I also have trouble with coordination....... However, even if the coordination, or timing, is not perfect, you are doing no lasting harm. A poorly timed correction with a collar.......
I hope people keep sharing how they use a clicker as I am learning as we go.
