Same with the clicker training system, there's nothing magic about it, but if you can train a person to use it properly, it can be a wonderful aid in trick training. |
But I NEED a magic box...LOL
But yes you are right, it is indeed a training aid. I was just in the living room trying to get mine to stop. This time everyone quit barking (even my cocker..shrug) but Mindy I had to do it about 4 times before it worked. I guess sometimes we do just want that magic to happen
