Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread, sorry if it isn't!
Anyways, I recently started trying to clicker train Rayleigh, but I ran into a bit of a problem. My boy is super super food motivated, and he just completely tunes out the sound of the clicker. It's like he doesn't even hear it. Whenever he sees me get out his treats, he zeroes in on the bag, and will start begging for treats and batting at my hands to try and get at them (very gently, no claws, just kind of a 'hey i know you got food, give it to me').
After I give him one treat, he'll start nosing at the ground to see if he can find anymore, and when I use the clicker, he completely ignores the sound. Anyone have any tips on how I should proceed? Should I just continue "charging" the clicker and hope that he'll eventually learn to associate the sound with the treats? Or should I change up my approach entirely?
