Clicker training isn't for every trainer or every dog, but I've had
great success and fun with it.


I'm not sure what you have against crates and putting temptation out of
the way while you're training, but with your 40+ experience of sharing
your life with dogs, it sounds like you can solve this problem without
them or other ideas from this newsgroup. The only other suggestion that
I can make is that you not say "Any suggestions as to how I might
moderate her behaviour welcome" and then tell us how unwelcome our
ordinary and sensible suggestions are. Wasn't there also something
about "nothing ventured, nothing gained," something you'd apply to a
rattle bottle but not a crate?
