PetSafe Premier Click Stick Dog Trainer - Purple - Positive Reinforcement Training Tool

runnerbean: Having seen this Click Stik on My Cat from Hell I got it to train my cats to do a few tricks. It's just another way to keep their lives interesting especially as they indoor cats. Some clicker training involves a touch stick and a clicker but this has both which is great.

Riannan: I love the idea of this clicker, its a little expensive, but I think its a fantastic idea, nice size, easy to hold in your hand, comes with a very nice instruction booklet, that covers how to use it, unfortunately it is only catered to dogs in the booklet and not cats. Regardless, very happy with the quality, arrived within the expected time.

Indian SummerIndian Summer: ...als da wären:
"Länge max. (ausgezogen): ca. 80cm". Ich habe nachgemessen: ausgezogen misst der Stab mit Griff 70cm, das sind 10cm weniger!

Mir (1,69) wären 80cm wesentlich lieber, da selbst ich mich leicht bücken muss, um etwas auf dem Boden anzuzeigen. Der Stab misst ohne Griff ca 57,5cm.(Zusammengeklappt misst er 15cm, aber der 1cm ist peanuts.)

Das finde ich industkutabel!

Weitere Kritikpunkte sind:
- die Kugel ist gelb-grün (auch hier stimmt das Produktfoto nicht ganz). Viel sinnvoller wäre ein leuchtendes Blau, da das für Hunde farblich viel besser zu erkennen ist.
- der Stick ist extrem unmweltfeindlich in sehr festem, dicken Plastik verpackt
- das 19-seitige Booklet liegt nur in englisch vor.

So, genug gemeckert ;o)

Ich behalte den Stab dennoch. Der Stab macht einen wertigen Eindruck. Der Clicker ist von mittlerer Lautstärke, wobei ich bei kurzen Distanzen eher einen zweiten Clicker nutzen würde. Testen sie einfach mal die Lautstärke ganz dicht am eigenen Ohr.
Das Handling ist super einfach, das geringe Gewicht (ca 65gr) sehr ausgewogen. Der Stab findet in vielen Taschen Platz, wahlweise kann man...

Brianne Harris: Using this clicker had definitely helped my dog to pick up on new commands faster than before! Being able to immediately capture the desired behavior is wonderful. I have used this for 15 to 20 minutes several times a week for the last two months and have not had any issues with the clicker portion not working properly.

I have really enjoyed the telescoping targeting stick as well. My dog quickly learned to target and now to follow the target ball. Very useful when training spinning, weaving and obstacles. Well worth spending a bit more money for the combined clicker and target stick.

The click stick also has a clasp to easily slip this over your waistband or pocket for easy access. The guidebook that congress with this is a great starting point to clicker training. Just recommended this product to a friend who after seeing me using it is getting her own.

Liz Severino: There is so much to like about this Premier Click Stick Dog Training tool ... the click is softer than every other clicker I've purchased and my very sensitive, hair-trigger border collie mix reacts much more positively to it than the many other, harsher and louder sounding clickers that I tried first. The click action is very quick, requiring less effort and offering greater precision than the many other clickers I've purchased. The tool is very well balanced and fits perfectly in my hand and because there's a clip on the back (not shown in the image) it can be stowed extremely quickly on my belt or the top of my jeans or even the edge of a leash if I need or want to. The easily extended touch wand with touch ball on the end is just wonderful to find in a clicker tool ... it truly is multi-function! In addition to fitting on my belt or waist, already mentioned, the entire tool also fits perfectly into my training treat bag for easy stowing. Because I have experience with such tools, I suspect at some point the clip on the back will give way, and since the ball on the tip of the extension touch wand is a screw-on, I suspect that, too, will come off and get lost...

C. Brockmann: Da wir beim Erziehen von Haustieren das positive Prinzip, heißt das Belohnen und Loben von erwünschten und gutem Verhalten, gegenüber Schimpfen und Strafen bevorzugen, war klar, dass wir einen Klicker-Stab als sinnvolles Hilfsmittel für unsere Katze brauchten. Nach mehrmonatiger Erfahrung mit diesem Artikel will ich hier meine Eindrücke schildern.

+ unsere Katze liebt den Klicker (schon beim Ausziehen des Stabs kommt sie angerannt und fängt an zu schnurren)
+ das Geräusch ist auch für ein junges Kätzchen nicht zu laut
+ der Stab ist stabil und robust aufgebaut und hat keine Grate oder scharfen Kanten
+ auch nach regelmäßigem Benutzen in den letzten Monaten sind keine Ermüdungserscheinungen zu erkennen
+ der Stab kann auch mal herunterfallen, ohne kaputt zu gehen
+ die Länge des Stabs ist optimal, bei 1,80m Körpergröße reicht er bei ausgestrecktem Arm ungefähr bis 10 cm über den Boden
+ zusammegeschoben passt der Klicker in die Hosentasche
+ er hat sogar einen Hosenklipp
+ der Klicker-Stab liegt gut in der Hand und ist angenehm zu bedienen, so dass man sich ganz auf das Tier konzentrieren kann

Ein wenig Kritik...

Kiboko: Ein sehr empfehlenswerter Erziehungsstab für Hundehalter. Qualitativ gute Ware und Verarbeitung. Das sehr handliche Gerät bietet dem Nutzer beim Hundetraining den Einsatz als Target mit gleichzeitiger Klicker-Funktion und gewährt gleichzeitig eine freie Hand für die Gabe von Belohnungen für gute Leistungen.

Leap: I got this with hopes that I could free up a hand by combining a target stick and a clicker. Sadly, this clicker is unreliable at best. Sometimes when I press it, it won't even make a sound! When it does, it's late because I had to press it twice and my dog is not learning. I went back to a clicker and a wooden dowel target stick, because this simply does not work. Three stars for the convenience of having a compact target stick though.

Douggee: Many trainers recommend a clicker and a target which aids in training the dog to associate a particular spot or postion with the reward. With a retractable target the Premier Click Stick fills the bill nicely. Having the capability to not extend (use as an ordinary clicker), partially extend, or fully extend, allows a great deal of flexibility without being clumsy. The clicking sound is crisp and adequate for in the house or an average size yard remembering that dogs have far superior hearing.

The Click Stick is light and fits my medium size hand well. Because of the well thought-out shape, it is easy to find the clicker button by touch alone. There is a clip allowing the Click Stick to be hooked to a belt or pocket, but since the clip is not tight fitting I wouldn't trust it to hold the clicker securly in a light-weight shirt pocket. Also included in the package is a helpful instruction booklet which provides you with the basics of clicker target training including how to get your dog to respond to the clicks as well as the target. You will need training sized treats, not included, for incentives and rewards for Bowser, Fido, Missy, Hey you,...

CMCM: I like this clicker and the retractable wand with ball on top is also quite useful for "touch" training. Unlike some of the previous complaints, I thought the clicker itself was just fine and I didn't find it was too loud. The clicker is easy to hold, but to manipulate holding it while holding/dispensing treats during training was a bit hard at times. The only thing I would add is a flex type wrist band like I see with traditional clickers. This would prevent dropping the clicker and it would be a helpful addition. This clicker provides no way to attached any sort of wrist band. It comes with a small training booklet, but if you are doing clicker training you probably already have a more extensive book on the subject. My reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that it's considerably overpriced. I buy regular clickers at the dog supply store for about $2, add a wrist band for $3 and the whole thing is just $5. Admittedly this clicker is more complex due to the metal retractable pointer, but half this price would be a more realistic price point.
