You have a good list going there, Diane. I can't think of any others offhand. I recently got hold of an I-click. These are the ones that Karen Pryor sells at www.clickertraining.com. It is so much better than the ones I already had. The clicker button sticks out instead of being recessed like the others I have seen. For some, I suppose it is too easily clicked accidentally. I love it because I can palm it and use a pinky to push the button or press it against my side. This way I can hold both clicker and treats in one hand. The recessed kind that I was using required too much finger strength that I don't really do to bad carpal tunnel issues. It was hard to hold treats and press at the same time. I have to take a closer look, but I think the I-clickers can only be purchased in bulk amounts. I swear, I am ready to buy fifty if I absolutely have to. I am so happy with this one. I haven't seen the one that you mentioned. Is it larger than most?
