Questions & Answers
No, your dog won't hear a click if he's in the woods while you're not, and it's also not how a clicker is supposed to be used. You can get stricter about what will earn a click or not over time, and once your dog is where you want them, you can switch to a verbal marker word (such as "YES") and gradually fade out the food reward as you use more "life rewards" (getting their leash put on, getting to pee on a tree, getting their food dish put down, et cetera). A whistle and a dog trainer are all you'll need for your purposes.
Yes, each clicker has the words Downtown Pet printed on the back.
All species can benefit from clicker training. Look up clicker instructions for cats on the internet.
No, it's actually quite gentle. Too soft

I'm using these with two 6-month-old kittens, and I'm worried the sound will be too harsh for them. The click sound is perfect; it is audible, but not harsh or startling. I'd been putting these off for a while - This is the first time I've attempted 'clicker training. ' When working with cats, YouTube videos suggested getting a clicker with a'soft click,' but I wasn't sure if these would qualify. Some reviewers noted that these had a softer click than other items they'd tried, which I appreciate because it helped me choose these. They get two paws up from my cats. Because of the large, easy-to-press button, I find them easy to use while holding a target stick in one hand.
I bought these to help train my puppy. This is my first time using clickers for training, and I'm really enjoying it. I keep them strewn about the house so that one is always nearby. I don't have anything to compare it to, but the click is quite audible. My puppy has learned that a click means he did something good after only five days of using these, and he is very eager to tell us when he needs to go to the bathroom (we click while he goes). Not only that, but he completes his tasks quickly because he knows he will be rewarded with a treat if he does so. With them, I've been teaching him a variety of things. I'd purchase it again.
I especially like that they each come with a wrist strap, which many other clickers sold here do not. br>br>I used these clickers to work with a litter of puppies (Puppy Culture) and included some in each puppy packet so that the new owners could continue training with the same clicker sound that their puppies had been accustomed to since they were very young. The second 25-pack was purchased because I'm sending care packages to each new home and am hoping that, at the very least, they'll replace any that have been lost, and at the very best, the sight of more clickers will encourage them to resume clicker training if they've stopped.
Sparky, my Jack Russell Terrier, is my pet. At the PROFESSIONAL level, he's a rascal. For the past month, I've been working with him to get him to walk with me without a leash. Distractions such as other people or squirrels put him in a state where he couldn't seem to hear me, let alone obey me. These clickers were purchased after seeing them on a television program. I'm not an expert on animal psychology, and I'm not sure why, but Sparky's first walk with the new clicker in my hand took me by surprise. When Sparky was first distracted, I gave a couple of clicks, and he came to a complete stop and stared at me. and returned to his previous position. After a few walks, I almost never need to click. He's transformed into a dog that all the other dogs lust after. I got immediate positive results with this clicker. I'm not sure why it works, but it does, and I'm grateful.
Construction of the Product: It appears to be well-made, and the button is large enough that you won't accidentally press it while holding other items in your hand; however, the "click" could be louder, in my opinion. Do I like it as a product? Not because of the construction or quality, but rather because of the overall clicker training concept. See below for more information. br>br>My dog is a Lab/Husky mix. He's bipolar, so this is a terrible mix to have. Thank goodness I live on a farm because he sometimes listens to me (Lab) and sometimes he just goes off and does his own thing (Husky). This can be found in almost every command, such as sit, down, and come. And if he smells food (whether it's cat food, compost, or something else), he'll forget about everything else and eat garbage, even if he's been fed a full day's worth of food. br>br>So I decided to try clicker training, and it appears to be effective. I believe the "click" could be louder, but my dog responds to it over short distances (such as 15 meters). He has improved dramatically in the past week and only ignores me 10% of the time compared to 50% previously in the past week in the past week in the past week in the This was accompanied by an e-mail. He focuses back on me after a brief vibration (not electrical shock) from his collar. The only disadvantage to clicker training, in my opinion, is that you must have food or a treat to use as a reward, as well as the clicker. However, if you have a stubborn, independent dog like mine, you will have to make compromises in order to achieve any kind of result.
I've been using clicker training extensively under the supervision and training of a behaviorist, and we've tried a variety of different clickers from box to button, but there was always some drawback to them, such as being uncomfortable in the hand, not being able to use hands freely, not being loud enough, etc. These clickers are just everything in one, they're loud enough, they fit in your hand comfortably, you can use your foot on it if you need free hands (Obviously it won't with I'd have to say that the colors are also nice and bright, even though I'm more concerned with its functionality than its appearance. I'm excited to put this to the test on the horses as well.
That isn't the case at all. It's a loud click. sharp. My cat flinches when she sees it. I find it repulsive. br>Now that I know what these things are, I'll look for a less expensive way to complete the task. Perhaps a Snapple bottle cap. br>These are made of cheap plastic, similar to what you'd find in a dollar store or from a gumball machine, and aren't worth the money.
This is my third order (to give to training clients), and I have yet to find one that doesn't work. The wristbands aren't particularly attractive, but they do the job, and I'm more concerned with the clicker itself. I like these because the button can be pushed from either side, in any direction, or even underfoot if two hands are required. Beginner clicker training should find this to be very simple. I also appreciate that the "click" noise is loud enough to be heard outside but not loud enough to startle most dogs when they are inside.
