 I get a lickin' and I keep on clickin'! January 9, 2010

I got this set of 5 clickers so that I would haveonein every room in my 3-room apartment! Oh, I keep one in my pocket as well!
These clickers are the best because they are small and are not as harsh as larger ones. The larger ones are so loud that they scare my little 9-pound poodle, Dante. I know because I bought 3 of them at PetCo. So, if you ever need to buy a clicker, go for subtle over volume and a high-pitched sound as well. Too harsh for me and can scare your dog as well.
That being said, these little clickers (they are smaller than any others I have ever seen) are perfect in pitch as well as volume. I wasted a few dollars on the others and I hope that my own learning experience will help you to make a good decision the first time rather than the second or the third!
I begin training Dante with the clicker for any new behavior. Also, I have been able to reduce my use of the clicker with oral commands along with consistent body signals with my hand(s) or the position of my body relative to Dante. He's both fast as well as observant!
So, good luck . . .

Great for cold hands and gloves. The button is raised so that you can squeeze it by making a fist, so that clumsy gloves are ok. No exposed plastic means that it's ok outdoors in winter. It's muffled, but my dog hears much better than I do, so he does respond to it from a distance.

I like these clickers especially inside the house as they are a little quieter than some. (I also own a Starmark clicker which is too loud inside) I purchased the 5 pack and chose the quietest one for use inside. Along with it being quieter, outside it is still loud enough unless there is a lot of background noise such as high wind or a stadium competition, but it would have to be fairly noisy since a trained dog is anticipating the click command. You really don't need a super loud clicker under most training routines. If your dog isn't responding to the click, you may need to reevaluate your training rountine or the dogs current abilities. But clickers are cheap and I own several to give me the right sound level for each circumstance. These clickers are reliable, easy to click, and click everytime, they feel good in the hand too. They do everything that is written in the mfg's descrption and do it well. Oh and they are super cheap too, a great buy!!!!

These are really really great clickers.
1. The sound this clicker makes is very nice on both human and canine ears.
2. The raised button makes clicking on time (an essential part of clicker training) very easy.
3. They last through water, sand (although clicking can get a little rough), dirt, and hard play.
Although these clickers are a bit more expensive than the box type I would definitely buy these over other ones. Clickers will undoubtedly be the least expensive piece of training equipment you purchase (even these ones). Also you will use this clicker for years (I've had mine for 4 years) and so it pays to get one you love. It might be possible that since you spent a few more dollars on this one you will be a little more careful with it and try not to lose it.

I have used a few kinds of clickers and I love these. They are quiet, and 'soft' to click. I can click in public without being noticably strange. I can switch between these and louder box clickers without effect on the animal. I occasionally still use box clickers for long-distance work, but only when it's windy anymore. Plus these are glove friendly, and easy to find if dropped. I also find sensitive animals like them better. My animals do 'seek' the click, and can hear it from a long distance, I have not been using my box clicker much anymore, my horses and dogs both react to this clicker (after getting used to the quieter noise) from a long distance without a problem. Love them!!! And they are best bought in bulk, I give them away and stash them all over the house and in all my coat pockets.
