The Clik Stik is an all in one clicker and retractable target stick. Mark desired behavior with a 'click' and reward with treats. Clicker training is highly effective!
Click your way to a well-behaved dog with the Clik Stik, the all-in-one clicker and retractable target stick. Agility and obedience training often requires your dog to focus on a particular location or object. Touch/target sticks are a wonderful tool for teaching targeting, send-aways and go-outs, contacts and weave poles, heeling and more. Targeting is also helpful as a way to get your misbehaving or fearful dog to focus on something else (the target). The Clik Stik features a clicker built into a collapsible target stick. This click/retractable target stick combination frees up one of the trainer's hands so there's one less piece of equipment to drop, juggle, or lose.
The Clik Stik includes a molded-in belt clip and extends from 6" to 23" in length. The Clik Stik at full extension (23") reaches the nose of short dogs when the trainer is standing. The Clik Stik can be used as a clicker when the rod is closed. The sound of the Clik Stik is softer in tone than some clickers, which may be helpful in working with sensitive dogs.
The Clik Stik includes an Instruction Guide written by Terry Ryan, a world-acclaimed international dog trainer. The Instruction Guide covers the following:
