Dar you might like the tiny clickers I prefer when working a lot on things around here. They break easy but they are real cheap too. They are harder to find but super easy to click for my weaker hands and tiny too. I have never been able to hear mine but I have been assured they make a sound but very minute compared to normal clickers- but definitely loud enough for a dog to hear. The ones I have have a real tiny ring in the end so a thread could be laced through it. Mine are frog shaped but they make crickets too. I will see if I can find a website where they are sold. They are often sold as party favors for little kids birthday parties and such. I am in the USA so don't know if you are in another country and would have trouble with ordering them. I had some real problems with a clicker store outfit several years back and finally got real gruff with them. I refuse now to do business with them even if they are the only place carrying an item. Some say I took it too far but daily spam because I bought one item which took them 3 weeks and they only did it because I finally contacted my bank when they would not respond to me...so I do understand your issues with the rudeness. Some people just really lack the ability to work with people or people with special needs that need more detailed information. Karyn and Met
