Clicker Training for Dummies, Hint: I am the dummy

Lady and I are trying to learn clicker training. Rather, I am trying to learn clicker training, but not really succeeding. At our first "Shaping Behaviors" class, we were talking about clicker training. The subject of "Charging the Clicker" was brought up, and I thought "leave it to Mike to get me the cheapest clicker, mine is manual and I can't charge it". True to my form, I vocalized that my clicker was manual, I couldn't charge it.

Apparently, after a "charged silence" and looks of disdain, I discovered that "Charging the Clicker" did not involve electricity. I am very good at being a dummy. I still do not know how to charge my clicker and the dog does not seem to be very excited about the "click" no matter how many treats I give her after the "Click". I will "charge on" in my torturous behavior modification training however.
