Pit Pack

A clicker is a noise-making device that was once a child’s toy. The old ones are  made entirely of metal and were often designed in bright colors and pleasing  shapes, such as animals. To make the clicking noise, a flexible metal tongue in the  middle is pressed down onto another piece of metal. The sound is best if the piece  of metal is pressed and released quickly.

Clickers are currently made of plastic rectangular or oval boxes with a flexible  metal piece in the middle that makes a distinctive sound. Clicker training has  become so popular that you can obtain a clicker at most pet supply shops or from  many catalogs and online stores.

Even though they are mass-produced, each clicker has its own unique sound. Because dogs can hear far better than humans, they can tell the difference, no matter how slight. That means in a class full of dogs and clicker trainers, your dog can still pick out the sound of your clicker.
