I REPEAT AGAIN!!! Do Not Try This at home.
I had a co-worker once who did something similar; he & his wife had a couple dogs, and were training them using "clickers". The idea is that, when the dog does something good, you provide a reward and "click" the "clicker". The dog (like in the famous Pavlov experiment) learns to associate the clicks with good behavior, and eventually the rewards are no longer necessary. Anyway, one day my friend's wife brought him a beer while he was training the dogs and he "clicked" at her. Fortunately for him, she took it in stride...
