I'm the opposite. I find the clicker to be useless. Most of the commands I teach Kaji, I use outside the house. I don't want to have to carry a clicker around everywhere, and my voice is with me 24/7. I don't even carry a purse!
I was taught how to use the clicker by the SPCA in my area, but it's my personal choice not to use it. It's another option to use if treats alone don't work.

Good luck with everything! |
