I’m reading a book on clicker training and would like to get started immediately. Problem is I live in Korea. Don’t want to bother with finding, ordering, then waiting two months for delivery for a real clicker from the U.S.

my mom got a dog from the pound and she is disabled so it is hard for her to take dog out. so when i can’t be there she uses potty training pads for in the house. when i am there the dog has unlimited access to the outside, but comes in to go potty. how do i change this behavior?
