Hopefully this be of use to folks interested in clicker training.
Understanding the mind of your birdie should be read first as that go hand in hand together.

First, some words on clicker training
It will be a big mistake if we think clicker training is merely a 'Palovian conditioning'. In which case do you accept your entire life and education to be another sort of 'Palovian conditioning'?
It will demean your beastie to be nothing but an conditioned stomach and mouth that you go on to teach 'tricks'. If you hold that mindset, then your reality and what you perceived of the reality WILL be fixed as such in your mind.
And you will forever forgo a wonderful and close relationship with your beasties that can be yours.
And just food for your thoughts. If training is just Palovian food conditioning, why did Tinkerbell, Riamfada and Yingshiong persisted in flying to me and overflying my wife when she clearly had food in her hands trying to distract them and I clearly had empty hands when I called them? Surely they should have gone to the food carrier rather than to me?
Clicker is not important and only a tool. But surely you would like to have a good tool. I am sure you can play good tennis with a wooden racket. But wouldn't you play even better tennis with a good graphit racket?
I find the clicker to be iconic for the training.
When I hold a clicker in the hand, my mind focus to the very moment between me and the beastie. And when my beastie saw that clicker in my hand, they focused on the training there and then raising the awareness to a point of sharpness amost akin to Zen type of awareness.
Indeed, I do not need the clicker. But why should I not use the clicker when it seemed to help so much. And when I talk of a clicker, it can be anything that make a consistent sound, which can be a pen, or tie clip.
If you think of clicker as Palovian conditioning, why not? Perhaps you are right and I just completely wrong.
