Some tips i found for you.. Number three relates to your question.. Really curious to see how things go with it, I don't know any one that has done it so let us know how it works..
1. ALWAYS treat after a click – even if you’ve accidentally clicked. The dog must have absolute faith in the ‘click means treat’ routine. Do not let the kids have the clicker to play with as a toy – even if they’re in a different room to the dog, he WILL hear it and will be tormented if his treats don’t follow. The clicker is the dog’s toy and no-one else’s!!
2. Only click ONCE. Don’t get excited when he does wonderful things and ‘click, click, click, click’ – this takes the consistency out of the ‘click’ and treat routine. One click is perfectly sufficient!!
3. Keep training sessions short and sweet, preferably around five minutes. They should be fun for both of you; fun for him because he’s getting lots of treats and is using his brain, and fun for you because it is far easier to train him than you ever imagined – but keep it fun by keeping it short! |

I just completed a 6 week class with my puppy. CLicker training is terrific. There is no "choke collars" or hurtful methods for training. They use the clicker and treats to condition the dog to do the command. After practice, the dog will do it with out the sound of the clicker.
Check out this website, it has helpful info.
