whatever happend to praissss
It didn't disappear! (BTW, the correct spelling is "praise")
The clicker & the treats are used to teach a new behavior, then the treats are faded, so that the dog responds with or without them, and you can praise your dog anytime after the click. The click is just a signal that tells the dog, in a way he understands every single time, that he has done something right. Done properly, the dog learns everything he needs to, and does not become dependent upon food to do so.
