I don't like the Clicker because...

1) I don't like someone else to just be able to pick up a device and control my animals. I think it's basically used for simple commands, but, I still don't like that.

2) What if you loose it ? Do those Classes teach Verbal backup commands, and to what extent. And if you're going to have Verbal commands, why use the Clicker at all.

3) Even with someone who is Verbally Challenged, that person could still rely on Visual (hand) Signals to communicate with his animal.

4) I can see it being of value for an Invalid person to summon his animal. But wouldn't a Bell be as useful, more customary, and have much greater range than a Clicker?
