That is true, especially when capturing behaviors, meaning the animal doesn't really know they have your attention but you click any time they do something particular no matter where they are when you see it. but then again thats the main benefit i see with a clicker, the timing to do so. But overall a clicker is just a bridge, so I am not sure that it would confuse them much more than using the same verbal praise for multiple animals "good boy"/"good girl" etcetera. I think they kind of notice if they are the one who had the attention and were asked to sit or turn around or what it is one happens to ask them.
