's crash course in clicker training
To start off, clicker training is a reward based training system used to tell your trainee (im not saying puppy this whole time) that they have done something good/correct. It's used mainly in training dogs but works just as well on human brains too. It works because the clicker-
and the reward (usually a treat, you can use any positive thing tbh including pleasure or orgasm or praise) are used simultaneously so the trainees brain forms a link between the sound of the clicker and the reward, understanding the click as a good thing and over time you would-
• Don't use the clicker for anything other than rewards. Many people are tempted to use it to get the trainees attention but that is not the objective of clicker training, the objective is a pleasure response. Use the clicker for only the purpose of praise and rewarding.
reduce the reward given along with the click as the click becomes a reward within itself. Clicker training is a popular way of training as it reduces confusion about whether or not the trainees behaviour is at question. The click being sounded = trainee did good-=
Some good tips for clicker training are
• In the beginning stages of training, a click must *always* be quickly followed be a reward, even if you click accidentally otherwise the trainee might get confused and training will have to start over
releasing a dopamine response within the brain. Clicker training also works well as it creates a way to praise/treat the trainee with minimal effort as the click itself becomes a reward and reassurance that the trainee is being good and obedient.
Keep repeating these sessions and your trainee will soon learn what following commands and behaviours will earn them rewards, and then you can start reducing the frequency of treats given with clicks. The click has become a reward by itself and you have a trained pup, congrats!
•Make sure you are prompt with clicks and rewards after positive behaviour so the association between the two can be formed.
• Only click once per positive behaviour as more than one click can be confusing easily.
• Don't clicker training 24/7, keep sessions short (max 1hr)-

's crash course in clicker training
Speaking of training sessions, it's better to start training in isolated environments if possible so distractions don't cause confusion in the trainee. Click the clicker and immediately follow it with a reward and repeat this with small breaks inbetween, you want to get them to-
click then reward the very second the trainee gets to you so their subconscious brain is aware that's the behaviour they're being rewarded for. Another example would be "kneel", you would click and reward the second the trainee hits the ground in order to build the response.
a point where they look at you immediately following a click anticipating a reward.
Once the basic connection of click=reward you can start to add in other basic training commands. To use a dog "analogy" we can look at the command "heel". You would say the command word and-
If using command words immediately doesn't work with your trainee, you could use a middle step, "luring" where along with the command word you hold the reward or a treat in your hand while giving the command, to entice the trainee into obeying and when they do, click & reward.

@kleptocrow
okay well classical conditioning wld work easy, just edge him and hold him there until he submits to the act and the second he does allow the orgasm. Doing this repeatedly his brain will soon associate the "immoral act" u want him to do with pleasure and give him a fetish for it
