I have a clicker, and so far I have only used it to reward my dog when she looks directly at me, when she focus’s on me instead of the treat , I reward her with the sound of the clicker and a treat directly after. What are some other training techines that use the clicker?
You can teach about anything using the clicker.
A couple of things we use in agility training is “touch” — you hold out your hand toward the dog — most dogs will come sniff your hand out of curiosity. When they do, click and treat. Once they’re doing this routinely, you can add the word “Hand” so they will do it on command.
You can also send to a target. We use lids from margarine tubs. Standing right next to it, touch the target with your hand. The dog will most likely sniff it. Click and treat. As the dog gets the idea, you can increase the distance until you can send to the target from some distance away.
What do you want to teach the dog? Clicker training can be used for virtually everything, and is used in everything from agility to obedience to service dog training to pet behaviors and tricks. Here are some resources on clicker training:

Make her speak!!
I did that with my dog and its fun!! You will have to make the dog sound to let her know that that is what you want her to do. It took me about a full straight hour for her to catch it. BUT i didn’t have the clicker. IT should be easier with that.
I also trained her to high5 me instead of giving the paw. ITs so awesome and cute!!
i would like to train her to roll but i really don’t know how. LOL
have a good one!
You use the clicker for all commands. Once you have tought your dog to associate the clicker as a reward (click then treat) You can remove the treat and train what ever you like
Hiere is a video that might help.http://www.puppiesanddogsinfo.com/episod…
I have found you can train almost any behavior with clicker training
good luck
