I've been reading a fair bit on clicker / marker training, and thought I'd try it on some of the shelter dogs where I volunteer. But then it struck me - if I click for one dog - won't the others, within hearing range, expect a reward as well? (Given they were 'conditioned' to react to the same clicker) so would I end up "buying a round" every time?
I am looking at getting the humane society to buy Karen Pryor's book on clicker training in the shelter environment, but for now, would you suggest I just 'practise' on one dog, or maybe try different dogs with different markers?
Thanks for your opinions!
