Hello, I am new here and would love some advice.
My dog is about 11 months old and I have had him since he was 3 mos old. So far he can do 'sit' 'down' 'stay' 'roll over' and 'bang'. 'Bang' is a trick where he lays on his side with his head on the ground and plays dead. He can't do them perfectly on command but he can.
Unfortunately this was all done via luring with no clicker. So I started to introduce the clicker today.
When I'm in the house he is always really close to me, so when I would call his name if he looked at me I would click and give him a treat. The problem is IMMEDIATELY right when I give him the treat he slides over on his side and does the 'bang' trick.
Right now I'm trying to train him to 'stand' and 'heel'.
So I would recall (click when he comes) and treat him. He comes to my side and before I can tell him anything else he already falls over and 'bangs' because he wants his next treat!
He doesn't follow my 'lure' anymore when I'm trying to get him to stand. The second I pull the treat out he's already on his side and waiting for the treat!
So my question is should I go back to 'sit' 'down' and 'stay' so he can do them on perfect verbal cue?
When I have tried this he just does the 'bang' trick ALL the time!
So I'm basically ready to start over and would love any advice.
