intermittent reinforcemnt questions

I have a question regarding intermittent reinforcement. Up until this point in time, I have always rewarded operantly conditioned movements or positions with reward. Specifically I use a clicker as a bridge stimulus and most of the time I use food as reward and motivation. I realize I have to move on to intermittent reinforcement but I'm not quite sure how to do this. I am pretty sure that I want to use a variable schedule but I also will use jackpots for the fastest and best responses. All of the correct responses thus far have been marked with the clicker and the dog is released for food or sometimes tug play. If the dog gives me what the behavior and I am on a VR schedule, what do I do? Do I click or not? Do I say good and ask for a different behavior? I am confused as to how to use intermittent reinforcement.
