Good product, loud click

Well it clicks, which is all I need. However the claim of three click volumes is inaccurate, unless one of the volumes is so low only a dog could hear it. Otherwise only two of the volume positions work and personally I can’t detect any difference between them. Furthermore there is no instruction booklet included, contrary to the statement in the video.

With one older dog, who loves barking at the postman, and a new puppy in the house I thought I'd try clicker training to give the puppy a good start and hopefully iron out the bad behaviour in the older dog.It's working on both counts. With the clicker on my wrist and treats in my pocket I soon had both dogs coming, sitting and lying.The idea is to mark the desired behaviour with a click that is shortly (you vary the time) followed by a treat. The dog thinks 'If I do something and I hear a click that's a good thing worth repeating' and so, initially they will come to you and sit in expectation of a treat - that's fine to begin with but then you need to add the command so that the mental process for the dog is 'If I hear sit and then I put my bum on the floor, I hear a click and I'll get a treat'. Once that behaviour is embedded you can just use the command.For the unruly behaviour on the part of the older dog I haven't yet been fully successful. He still gets overexcited and barks when he sees people walking past the house or up the path. So far I have had success in getting him to move away from the door - so visitors can get in - next step, I think, will be to try to train him to sit on a mat to command. I also bought an external postbox to defuse the part of the process that stresses him the most - people daring to stick things that smell of stranger through our letterbox.

We have been using this since it arrived 4 days ago. Puppy is 4 months old and is great at coming back when he hears it. We use the quieter clicks indoors and the louder ones outside. He's now off the lead and we aren't panicking that he isn't going to come back.

Product broke after only a few weeks of using it. Although you could alter the noise level, the highest level wasn't loud enough. Pretty disappointed with this product

Will be using this for training my pup.

I read about clicker training in 'Don't shoot the dog!' Karen Pryor & bought this. Basically I think of clicker training a bit like the hot & cold game. Everytime the dog does something you want or progresses towards do something you want it to you click & reward. It repeats the behaviour & maybe improves on it & you reward. The dog enjoys this & its fairly easy.This clicker is sturdy & easy to hold & once you get the hang of clicker timing, easy to use. It has an elastic strap to go around your wrist - which is useful if you are trying to use hand signals, hold a treat & click. Lots of dog trainers appear to use the method. Our puppy trainer always showed us how to use a clicker with training different activities - which was useful. So how are we progressing? Well, she cetainly knows that a click means a treat & it is helping progress toward obedience goals. So overall I would recommend it as a method - I just don't always have it to hand when I need it, so I tend to use it to help 'learn' the skill, but also have to rely on fussing & treats when I don't have the clicker.
