Fantastic Beasts and how we live with them

This dang dog now associates the clicker with treats. I dont even have to click the clicker. He sees me touch it and he sits and waits. He expects that if i touch the clicker, he gets a treat... if i dont do anything, he moans and whines.
I guess i have to just start carrying around the clicker so he sees it regularly

Lol. That is the downside of actual "training sessions". Best behavior abounds when they know what's coming. Having it on you where he can see it all the time should definitely help.

My dogs don't generally have "sessions". Their whole life is a potential training session. If they're minding their own business walking by me I'll say "sit" or "down" or whatever. They do it "good boy" pat on the head, then "free" so they can return to what they were doing. A little too excited about the cat? "Place" he goes to his place "good boy", continue on until they both chill and I can tell him he's free. Except for those times when the cat is being ridiculous and harasses him there, then the dog gets free and the cat gets his own version of time out 🤣
