Wow, I don't understand this. I am not an exclusive clicker triner. I keep carrot slivers in my fanny pack so I have something to reward the "clickable" moments. When I do click, my mare knows "game on" and she continues to search for more things to get clicked for. "Clickable" moments include when something is on the trail that is different from last time. Then we do "touch the goblin". She knows this game so well, and is so enthused about it, that now, instead of being wary of strange things, she will eagerly offer to go up to them. I think this means she IS focused on the game, with the food as a reward.
