So Ella got a clicker for her birthday and we are halfway through day one of charging the clicker. Ella thinks this is the BEST. PRESENT. EVER. She doesn't have to do anything, hears a noise and gets a treat! Could this training business get any better??
Yep, starting is the best part, free food for nothing. I have to share a laugh. You say "charging" and we say "loading" the clicker to start. And I've seen comments on both from people thinking you had to either plug it in to an electrical outlet like your phone or physically put something in it. Did you get the flat, thumb activated one? Or the one with a button that you can place on the floor and use your foot with, in order to keep both hands free?
I've never seen anyone use one on the floor. What do they look like? Might get a bit muddy round here but I'm always running out of hands!
I think @Snowshoe means this type: http://www.traininglines.co.uk/clik-r-dog-training-clicker.html - correct me if I'm wrong! The button stands proud, so you don't need the same dexterity to click as you do with a regular box clicker. This type is my favourite, with the finger ring so you don't have to hold onto it: http://www.traininglines.co.uk/dogsline-push-button-dog-training-finger-clicker.html
@bbrown I never used it outside but it was handy for some things inside. Don't want to lose your balance though, and smash it. @snowbunny yes, I think there a couple of variations.
