Actually, he’s graddually increasing the time in between the click on purpose to teach her to focus longer

it’s a signal for the dog…like humans…we know we did a good job if we get an applause, we’re in danger if we hear an alarm or a bang…the dog knows he did a good job if he hears that sound

it marks the correct behavior and sets the occasion for the reward.

This is not a good …
This is not a good clicker training video. The click is not being deployed fast enough. As others have mentioned, the behavior should be learned first prior to introducing words.
Waving your “treat” hand around is a feeble attempt at a distraction. Proper distraction methods should be in parks with other animals or humans, maybe even small critters like squirrels.
I would have to give this an F+. Hopefully the owner can properly deploy the proper clicker training method on future videos.

I believe it’s used as a way of rewarding the dog. Plus I’m sure the sound has the dog pay attention.

Try like, tapping your dogs back end, or pushing down on it (very lightly) to re-inforce him into the sit position.

over all a good …
over all a good video; BUT there’s a little detail that is off. The person is moving his hand just a little before the click. Although this is not too crucial here, later on it can slow down training. You can see later in the video the dog is looking at the hand as it starts to move before the click. (Also, border collies are known for making eye contact. )
The small common error of moving the treat hand before the click can produce frustration when training other breeds and cues. Bill

Generally you do …
Generally you do not introduce a word until the dog has learned the action first. (watch his video on teaching an objects name). What you are doing by repeating the word is confusing the dog and teaching him that all that talk can be ignored.

With “sit”, try …
With “sit”, try moving a treat from in front of his face to up above his head. He’ll be super-interested, so his eyes will follow the treat, forcing himself to sit down. When he sits, click and give the treat.
With his name, try waiting until he’s unaware that you’re there with him. If you say ANYTHING, Jim will be surprised and look at you. Therefore, make the first thing you say, “Jim,” and when he turns to you all surprised, click & treat!

Although it is not hard for a dog to learn their name, this is a good video. Straight to the point and informative.

very wacko you need to do this to get the dog used to its name

You can wait until he looks at you and then click. You “catch”him doing what you want and then reward (shape) that behavior.

ok i have one simple question…. what happens if i say his name and he won’t look at me??? do i keep saying his name like “jim” “jim” “jim” until he looks at me???this is the same problem i’m having teachin my dog to sit. I say sit but he won’t sit.. do i keep saying.. sit, sit, sit until he sits and then reward him??? im kinda confused.. any help?

The reward is the …
The reward is the click, they know something good comes after the click.. it doesnt always mean at treat, but it always means something good.
You should load a clicker (teach the dog that that “click” = good stuff!) and re-train your dog.

distract her, move away. She is anticipating what is expected of her. Try to keep it random. If you sit in front of her and practice once you start this she will anticipate it. Try just going about your business and when she isn’t looking at you say her name

it depends on the individual dog’s attention span. Generally training sessions shouldn’t last more than 10 minutes. But you should try to do them 3 times a day

update…i have been practicing with my dog. but i am wondering, what do you do when you get ready to say her name, and she is already looking at you, intently? thank you!

What is a good time period to do this for? ex: 5 mins? I have a female miniature pinscher, 1.3 years old. She does not know her name very well. Ever since we brought her home, we said her name often. But this is the first time in my life, having a pet that doesn’t know its name. I have never had this happen before. All of my pets knew their names within a short time of bringing them home. This is very odd to me. It is obvious that she can hear very well. Thank you, ~~KD

What happens if the dog becomes to reliant on treats and ultimately stops responding to it’s name when you stop rewarding it?

pannycake….dogs aren’t human. you shouldn’t use human psychology on your dog. i bet you’re one of those people that talks to your dog and thinks its your grandpa who died 7 years ago reincarnated in an animal or something haha. it’s just dog training
