I decided to start clicker training instead of just using words and food. Today my clicker came in the mail and I "charged" it with my dogs using treats as directed.
Both of them were fine during the charging.
After a few minutes I decided to work on just some basic "Sit" and "Down" commands. Perkins did fine, and was as eager as ever.
Killian however wandered off to a corner and pressed himself up into it as tight as he could and laid down. I don't yell at my dogs during training (or ever), I don't him them or anything so I am very confused.
I tried doing it while he was by himself without Perkins and that didn't work either.
I charged the clicker with him again, and he was fine but then I tried working with him and he acted scared.
Has anyone had an occurrence like this and a way to fix it?
Should I stop using the clicker with him? I was really excited to use it, but I don't want to make him hate training even more.
