Cheap, Dependable Clicker October 6, 2008 StarMark Clicker / B000FMDIL6
We received a free clicker with our Petsmart training, but I wanted an extra one on hand, and this was easy to toss into a Super Saver Shipping order. I'm pleased with this clicker - it's no louder nor softer than our standard Petsmart one, and it's smaller, sleeker, and prettier.
If you already have a clicker and are in clicker training, I can recommend this as a good, sturdy clicker that does its job. Amazon has the cheapest price on these, and you already recognize the value of having several of these around the house.
If you are not already in clicker training, I highly recommend clicker training with an appropriate class, book, or DVD. My little puppy has been in clicker training for only a couple of weeks and he is already extremely well-trained, knowing Come!, Leave It! (works on everything so far except the cats - we're still training daily!), Drop It!, Off!, Look!, Do Numbers! (potty training), and much more. Everyone comments on how sweet and well-behaved he is, and I credit this little clicker and our wonderful Petsmart trainer!
Good training tool September 26, 2008 Nice, loud and clear click sound compared to other clickers I've used. Also I'd recommend putting a small elastic through the little hole at the bottom to secure it to your finger.
not bad September 26, 2008 Not a bad purchase if you are consistant, works very well, I dont have any complaints or regrets.
easy way to make the click sound softer September 10, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Some reviewers mentioned the click was too loud. And I must admit it is indeed loud. I was very aprehensive about purchasing it because of this problem. However, I heard so much praise about clicker training that I bought it with the intention of muffling the sound by adhering some sound absorbing materials to the clicker to reduce the loudness of the click. Well, as soon as I got my hands on it I discovered an easy way to reduce the loudness of the click. Here is how:
Simply place the clicker with the orange button facing down on or just before that fatty tissue part of your palm that the thumb extends out of. Then apply firm pressure to the back side of the clicker by folding your four fingers on top the clicker. Make the pressure just firm enough so that clicker sound holes are pressing against the fatty tissue of your palm, then when needed just apply a little more pressure with the four fingers on the back of the clicker to make it click. If you have the clicker positioned at the proper angle the lanyard hole will be inline with the middle of your wrist.

Clickers Rock. I just finished training my first dog a bunch a tricks which would have taken much longer without the use of a clicker. Dogs seem to really get the idea behind the clicker quick, which makes your training sessions much more efficient. The quality of this clicker has been great, and the tips that come with the package were helpful. If training a dog, this is a must.
