I have to dog geek out for a bit. I do a lot of target training, and to have a clicker and a target stick in the same place is just great - no more fumbling. I love the Clik Stik. The clicker on the Clik Stik is quieter than a regular clicker, though not as quiet as the i-clicks.
They sell the Clik Stik at DoggieZen.com and PetExpertise.com
I just saw a great dog training video, from one of our contributing dog trainers, showing how effective clicker training can be. The video is of a dog that’s reliable even with other dogs for distractions at at the dog park. Check out the clicker dog training video here. Or view this post for more videos.
The clicker makes a distinctive sound when you press on it. It tells your dog “Yes, that is what I want you to do,” and it promises her a reward for a job well done. The clicker acts like the shutter of a camera, marking the exact moment she has done what you like. If you don’t like using gadgets, or can’t use a clicker for some other reason, you can use a marker word, like “YES” to tell the dog when it’s done something you like.
