Really it is unimportant as to whether it is ordered from online or purchased at the local pet shop. It might have been cheaper as a dog clicker at the pet store and it might not have been. I remember when you could get little metal frogs that were clickers, they were very cheap and just a child's toy, haven't seen one in ages though.

It would have been possible to use the snapping of one's fingers or a certain sound like clicking one's tongue, but a real clicker is just fine, and it always produces the same sound. Shall we move on past the clicker now, please, even pretty please.
