Don't buy one online. The silly little thing may cost $2 but the shipping will be $8!

At the Petsmart near me they have a bunch of clickers with the Petsmart logo that they just give away for free.

I paid $8 for is from the UK, most shops here didn't have them. I did find a shop after I already purchased mine and they wanted $29.95!! Insane! No many petstore around here seem to carry them ??

I got mine at Petsmart for $2.99. I looked all over the store for them and when I finally asked, they had them right by the cash register.

BTW, don't buy the fancy ones with the nice handle and casing, etc. Just a waste of money. After much use they do lose their sound so buy a few at once. Not only is it convenient to have backups, you can also place them around the house in different areas so it's convenient to grab one if you need it. For normal training, you usually know when you will need it, but if you want to capture vocalizations on cue, you never know when the bird will say something so it's good to be able to get a clicker/treat quickly.
