I have a question about the clickers.. how does that work?!

Glad your willing to work through it! It takes a strong person to step back and really look at the situation and say "ok, I'll take on the monster!". I considered taking ours back a few times before I found a solution.
you get a clicker and I got string cheese(less intake but taste good) youtube it! some good trainers post clicker training basics online.
Click and then give a treat and do this a few times to connect clicking w/ good things like treats. I praise and treat so the treat can one day go away.
So when pup pup sits you click RIGHT WHEN her butt hits the flower and treat and say "yay puppy"(or whatever!) ....then u can click anything ...click a potty outside ...click calm behavior in the house. ....click playing w/ her toys ...you are teaching her what you expect and she gets treats for it.
