When I get my Mal puppy I am looking to use click training for about the first six months, for basic obedience. ?The click is basically a marker which is consistent and good for timing. ?My dog will be trained in Schutzhund and personal protection work. ?What is everybody else's views on the click training?

Only by knowing ourselves will we truly know our dogs.
I also use click sometimes still (dog is 2 years) in obedience training. Sometimes we also use it in protectionobediencetraining. I think it is a good tool but you have to remember to also reward with voice so the dog learns that too I also use it in tracking when she lays down for objects, she learned that much quicker with clicker than without.
I clicker train, it is a great training method. It makes the dog think, you can really see it's brain at work. I often teach my dog little tricks (though I don't keep up with them so she soon forgts them lol). One day I taught her to yawn with the clicker, and another day I taught her to shake her head. She's forgotten them by now.
