With clicker training it is said to be hit or miss -- also the dog doesn't really LEARN the behavior... just does it for performance and the treat.... this true?

Sorry, I can't help with trainers, tho contacting the local obedience club will certainly get you some excellent suggestions for trainers to persue. I found mine via the Agility club suggestions. The nice thing about going this way is that you are getting suggestions of trainers they have used, know and trust to be good at what they do.
I go to obedience competition training classes with my Border Collie puppy and we are using the clicker method. I have found it to be very useful. It is a reward/treat based method, but a good trainer who teaches this will also help you learn how to phase out the treats. I taught my BC to "touch a target" in just an hour. I find it to be a fast way to get the message across to my puppy what it is she does that I want her to do. Do a google search on it and you can read up in more detail what it entails. I personally wouldn't train without this useful tool.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMQwT
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

I've never done clicker training myself, I do reward training. Check out www.iheartpaws.com There is a few members from your area that may be able to recommend a trainer for you. Oh, and there is a few threads about clicker training as well on there.

Having educated horses, canines and cats for the previous 25 years my adventure is that the Koehler technique right done is a procedures more desirable to the clicker/treats/ignoring undesirable habit route. right done, KMODT has a try at each and every step to ascertain the canines is conscious what's anticipated previously shifting on interior the academic. the technique does not inevitably make canines submissive yet facilitates them to study from the blunders as well as successes and always produces reliably educated canines that are a exhilaration to stay with.
