Product description
Stick with integrated clicker for effective training of all pets, with belt clip, effect through special signalling method, extendable, made of plastic. Colour cannot be chosen!
The Trixie Target Stick with integrated clicker is an effective tool for training your pet. It can be used for all pets, regardless of age and type of animal. The stick is ideal especially to teach small pets new exercises and set new challenges. Great not just for cats and dogs - try it on your rabbit, guinea pig, rat or bird!This is how clickers work:
Immediate reward is essential for the successful training of pets. If the time between the desired behaviour and the giving of the reward (e.g. a snack) is too long (> 2 seconds), your pet may not be able to connect the two together. Once trained to work with the clicker, the "click" will provide this immediate reward. Before training your pet with the clicker you will have to teach it to recognise this. Leave the Target Stick folded up and work only with the integrated clicker. On each "click", give your pet a snack or treat. Over time, your pet will learn that a "click" means "reward". Repeat this initial training at least 15-20 times on several successive days. You will now be able to use the "click" as a reward in itself, but don't forget to also regularly add a real treat after a click!
This is how the Target Stick works:
Having trained your pet to associate the "click" with a reward you'll now be able to use the Target Stick. Teach your pet to follow the stick with its nose by clicking when your pet's nose touches the ball point on the stick (and following it up with a treat every now and then). You'll now be able to train your pet to do various exercises, following the stick with its nose.

Does what it’s supposed to.
It works, doesn’t look too poorly made, and does what it’s supposed to.

Bargain Purchase. Ideal when training a pup & you can’t reach the target on the floor yourself.
With this target stick we were able to teach our most recent pup, to retrieve specific random items from the floor for us, which we could not reach or bend down to point at to initiate retrieval. After a few weeks & then moving on to ‘pointing with our foot’ at something we had dropped & needed retrieving with the command ‘fetch’, she picks it up & puts it on a level she knows we can reach. She is not an assistance dog, Just a Very Clever Dalmatian willing to help at anytime & adores praise.

Works brilliantly
I used a clicker like this for the first time. After just a few weeks, our cat is following the target and touching it with her nose. She jumps onto objects, crawls into caves when I tap on them, and even stands on her hind legs. She clearly enjoys it – of course, partly because there’s always a little snack involved :)
I find the device handy and simple. Yes, maybe it’s relatively loud, but still absolutely fine. After all, you’re not clicking right next to her ear but at a reasonable distance.

As expected
Does what it’s supposed to. Brilliant (:

The rod is quite good, the rest... meh.
Unfortunately, I'm not convinced. Even though the stick is quite practical, the rest doesn't convince me enough to use the clicker regularly.
The clicker is very difficult to operate; you have to press really hard. You also have to press forward, otherwise it doesn't click properly. Sometimes it didn't work at all, and the rewarding click was missing for Ronya's ears. This made training extremely difficult.
Now I'm back to using the regular clicker, and well – it works better!

Great
Great clicker stick, a bit hard to press but probably within reason – I don’t have a comparison as this is my first clicker.
The strap came off straight away, but since I don’t clip it to my clothes, it’s fine.
My cat is totally fixated on the ball – brilliant.
He runs back and forth along the climbing/wall course just by following the stick.

Favourite toy - reordered twice
My two cats absolutely love chasing the ball, especially under a blanket or behind a cloth. They also enjoy chewing on the ball – under supervision, of course. We haven’t managed to use it for regular training, but it’s definitely worth it regardless. They have an incredible amount of fun with it and even get jealous of each other, depending on who gets to play with it at the time. However, it has fallen apart now – the handle has come off and the stick is bent. But to be fair, we haven’t exactly been using it as intended.

Meh, plastic
The clicker works perfectly. However, the telescopic rod is only secured with a plastic clip. Long story short, my big guy stretched out, and the rod came flying towards him.

Great
This is a great tool and I like how you only need to hold one thing if target training. I've used this for my rabbits and dogs and I do find that the target is quite small so they struggle to see it.

Missed the mark
I have a very noise-sensitive cat. The clicker is too loud for her, she’s scared of it and hides away.

Super!
I've already taught my tomcat a few things. The clicker is great!

Trixie target stick
Great product. Seems quite sturdy and the retractable strap is a good idea. Arrived in white and black. The clicker noise is quite quiet, which I would say is the only downside of it.

Perfect sound but breaks quickly
The clicker fell on the floor once, and the rolling part broke.
We’ll continue to use it, but it’s very annoying.

Love it!
I clicker train my horse and decided to try it with my dogs and hamster. I purchased this for the dogs and although I've yet to test it out, I absolutely love it! The belt clip with extendable cord is a fantastic idea, and the target stick extends a good amount! If anything, my only issue with it is that the clicker isn't particularly loud. It's not a big issue, but with my horse I use clickers that are more defined.
Other than that, I'd definitely recommend this product!

Does what it’s supposed to.
Everything works wonderfully, but unfortunately, we can't seem to keep the attention span here beyond 5 minutes... which makes the training a bit tedious even after 3 weeks.

Easy to use
Easy to use, can teach fun tricks with it, the only downside and reason for four stars the extension clip broke quickly but you dont really need it.

Great for a young dog
Previously, I used a hand target, which was sometimes a bit cumbersome. With the target stick with clicker, it works much better now.

Perfect
I previously worked with a target and clicker, which always turned out to be very cumbersome. Additionally, my cat had a hard time accepting the last target. So I was all the more surprised that she accepted this one straight away on the first try. I find the belt clip rather annoying, as it distracts the cat and encourages her to play instead.

Doesn't work with my tomcat.
Not for my tomcat...

Also suitable for cats!
A well-functioning clicker. The built-in target stick is very practical and makes it easy to handle.
Suitable for regular clicker training with dogs, cats (and other animals).
