PetSafe Clik-R Trainer

This dog training clicker was super easy to use. Makes a very clear clicking noise that dogs can easily recognize and it helps reinforce good behavior. The clicker itself feels very well made and not cheap even the finger band feels comfortable when in use. Overall very satisfied with the product and it’s very worth it for its price if you want to train your dog.

There are quite a few reasons why I love this product. The compact design and attached finger band make it easy to hold. It's a clear method of positive behavior reinforcement, and the included training guide is top-notch. The fact that it's useful for all ages and can train various animals is a big bonus. A nice little clicker with a good sound. Overall, a brilliant tool for training pets.

I would give this a 5 star if it didn't NOT click some times. The click is nice and loud, but I press the button some times and it does not make the click sound about 10% of the time. This can be frustrating when using for training and you want to give your cat positive reinforcement.

Good clicker, nice feel. I like that it's got an elastic loop to slip your finger through and it fits well in your hand so it's right in the perfect place to click when you need to - the biggest mistake people make with clicker training is you need to click *exactly* when they do the behavior, especially early in training and doubly so if you're trying to shape a behavior. If you're trying to shape a behavior and have to fumble for your clicker, even for a second.... forget about it, you'll do more harm than good if your click then. I put a lanyard on mine..... it would be nice if it came with one because the finger loop isn't secure enough if you want it with you while you do other things..... but oh well. It came with a pamphlet on clicker training which was surprisingly thorough, but in my humble opinion Karen Pryor's unfortunately named book "Don't Shoot the Dog" is an absolute must for anyone who wants to understand how to best use clicker training, and how/why it works. It's very understandable but in-depth enough you'll understand how to do complex training. So far I really like this clicker. I do wish it were a 2-pack (because I lose things), but ultimately I decided I'd rather have one really good clicker that would give me the best chance for good timing with minimal frustration, rather than 6 cheapo clickers I'd be fumbling with and breaking. So far so good.

I’ve been using the PetSafe Clik-R Training Tool for a little while now, and overall it’s a solid, reliable clicker with a few minor drawbacks. On the positive side, the ergonomic design and finger band are actually very handy. It sits securely in my hand, so I’m not fumbling with it during training sessions or worrying about dropping it. The click sound is clear and consistent, which makes it easy for my pet to associate the sound with a reward. It’s also small and lightweight, so it’s easy to toss in a pocket or bag and bring along on walks or trips. In terms of performance, it works well for basic positive reinforcement training. My pet caught on quickly, and the clicker has held up fine with regular daily use. I also appreciate that PetSafe is a well-known brand with a long history in the pet industry, which gives me a bit more confidence in the product. That said, there are a few things that keep it from being perfect for me. The click is a little louder/sharper than I expected, which might be a bit much for very noise-sensitive pets or for use in very quiet environments. Also, while the finger band is a nice idea, it may feel a bit tight or awkward depending on your hand size, and it’s not adjustable. It’s a simple tool, so don’t expect any extra features beyond the basic click function. Overall, this is a good, straightforward training clicker that does what it’s supposed to do. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use, compact clicker from a reputable brand, this is a solid choice—just be aware of the slightly loud click and the fit of the finger band.

Broke after a few uses. The button jammed, and does not produce an audible clicking noise. This only lasts a dozen clicks or so, then failed entirely.

Okay so I'll be honest, I don't use this dog clicker as it's intended, I use it for creating a visual cue in my work as I'm a voice actor and have to edit certain lines certain ways, and this dog clicker has been the one consistent thing in my booth with every upgrade as it has a nice solid click, that creates a very distinctive waveform that I can easily spot throughout the sea of waveforms that is my voice lines. It's comfortable to hold, and is simple to click, well as long as you're holding it right, trying to click it when it's sitting on a table or such isn't exactly easy XD It's small enough to not be in the way, but big enough I can get a good grip on it and not drop it when I'm trying to grab it quickly. And well of course the little finger band helps with that too, but I typically don't hold it while recording so as to not risk wacking it on something in my booth if I get too theatrical. I've also had this clicker for a year and a half as of writing this, and despite being under near-constant use, it works just as well and is in just as good condition as when I first got it. So the tldr is, great for voice actors, provides a solid waveform, fits well in my hand, and lasts excellently under prolonged use.

Although I've raised two dogs from pups before, this is my first time to use clicker training. We have a foster dog who was difficult to handle on leash and this is helping him learn what I want from him when out walking. I've been using a Gentle Leader on him, which helps, but he still wanted to pull all the time. Now I can use the clicker to mark the moments when he's behaving well, and of course give him a small treat immediately. Don't skip the preliminary steps... including teaching the dog to associate the sound of the click with a reward. Don't be discouraged if your dog is initially a bit jumpy at the sound. If your treats are good enough, they'll get used to it. This clicker isn't super loud, but even so, our little foster startled initially. He soon got over it though. I love the band that helps the clicker stay in position in my hand. It's super useful when handling the leash and treats at the same time!

Muito bom

Aunque en la imagen del producto aparezca un perro, este aparato puede ser usado para entrenar todo tipo de animales (gatos, caballos, conejos, hurones, pericos, etc.). En mi caso lo compré para entrenar a mi gatita y aunque hasta ahora no hemos progresado mucho, estoy muy satisfecha con el producto. A pesar de ser muy simple, cumple perfectamente con su función y el sonido que emite no es ni muy fuerte ni muy débil (lo cual hace que sea ideal para entrenar gatos ya que estos se asustan con clickers que hacen demasiado ruido). Además, incluye un instructivo muy detallado (en inglés) que es ideal para principiantes (aunque también existen muchísimos videos en YouTube de los cuales se puede aprender). Por menos de 50 pesos, es una compra fenomenal ya que este producto no siempre se encuentra en tiendas (incluso en las especializadas en productos para mascotas). Solo Petco vende un clicker más barato que este pero el diseño y la calidad no tienen nada que ver. PetSafe jamás decepciona y este producto no es la excepción.

This is the second one of these I purchase, as a backup, because I love these so much. A bit more expensive than the cheaper alternatives, but much higher quality. Fits nicely on finger, the clicker feels sturdy, it would be difficult to accidentally press the button. Easily understood by my Shih-Tzu, Guinea pigs and Parrotlet!

Well made, works well.

思っていたよりカチッという音が大きめです。 犬には丁度いいかな。 インコはブチ切れて追いかけ回したり落として楽しんでるので、おもちゃとしてあげました。
