The clicker training, described by some canine "educators" as a "soft and positive" method, is the opposite of the communication, the relationship and the cooperation that must exist between a dog and his human. In fact, the clicker reduces communication to a "click" ; it builds a relationship with this object associated to the "treats" (food) and not with humans ; and finally what looks like a cooperation is a make-believe : the dog will do this for food and not for us or with us. It's simply a conditional brainwashing !!!
