I had one that I smacked my lips, but I didn't think ti was working because I still didn't get far with it, so I switched to whistling. Does anyone know if that's alright?

Thanks!

@1PigfartsHereICome (2/2) But since people WILL over-use a dog's name (in passing, during play, etc), the dog is not likely to treat the name as a command once they realize you don't Always pay attention to them when you say their name. Dogs are very smart and they will respond to what has the highest success rate of them getting attention. Simply put: if you don't treat their name as a command, neither will the dog.

@1PigfartsHereICome We adopted our dog the shelter and taught her both her name and this behavior this way and she treats them separately. The way I see it, as kikopup said, the kiss-kiss command becomes muscle memory, an automatic response to stop everything and look at you. Because you mean "look at me" every single time you say it. Just like "sit" or any other command.... (1/2)

Question: when your dog is doing something wrong, and you may the kissy noise and he turns to you, should you reward him? At first I thought no because he will just do something bad to get a treat whenever he feels like it, but then I thought if your dog's smart enough, he will realize you only give treats for turning around for the kissy noise in training sessions and will ignore you in the real situation!! Help!! (kikopup or anyone else thanks :)

This may be a stupid question but, in someone else's video they learned a puppy his name by saying the name and then rewarding when the puppy looked them in the eye. If you use the same method for this and other things, how does the dog know which is his name and which is just a way for you to make him come to you?

this is great, you are a good trainer :)

could I do this but saying No! instead of a noise??

I've been using this with my new pup. It's helpful in that it stops her from doing the behavior - usually chewing on my bed/books - without me having to touch her (as this usually causes her to turn around and bite me instead). However it seems to be teaching her that if she does go and chew on those things... she will instantly get a treat! What am I doing wrong? I feel as though I am encouraging the behaviour instead of discouraging.. distracting with other toys doesn't work (for long) either.

@MrVbdude I think because after they learn the noise you would remove the treat, so they know the behavior by itself. plus you would show them something more interesting after anyways :) hope it helps a bit
WE LOVE U KIKOPUP!!!

The only thing I'm worried about teaching the positive interrupter is that what if the dog takes the noise as he did something good and he's getting a treat for it. Like we charge the clicker by clicking and then giving a treat and dog associates click with him/her doing something good. Can anyone please help me with this question?
