Catie, 
Go for it and don't listen to those who tell you that pyrs don't do 
well in obedience<vbg>.  There are several of us that are working 
on obedience and/or working titles or have titles on their pyrs (Ernie 
comes to mind who has a UD).  Those of us who are into 
obedience love hearing about pyrs earning obedience titles.  

I use clicker training and yes, mine responds very well to clicker.  
And I think there are several others on this list who use clicker as 
well.
