Clicker
Marks the right moment, then I pay it.
The tools I use
Treats
Paycheck for the click. Small, fast, often.
Chaser toy
A giant cat-toy. Drive, regulation, and an honest outlet.
Slip leash
Quick on, simple pressure on and off.
Dog bed
A true off-switch — your dog's settle spot.
Long line
15–30 ft. Freedom with a safety net.
E-collar
Remote tap on the shoulder. Goldilocks level.
Kennel
A positive den — never a punishment.
Prong
Sometimes, for strong dogs. Not my go-to anymore.
