My pup is being trained for detection work. I am training individual skills in isolation now. (She is 15 weeks) she currently is touching the green bead with her nose. Later we will teach her to detail her nose work, using this same clicker. I often use it as a regular clicker too. It does tend to fall out of my pocket, and I may start using a lanyard to keep track of it. The belt clip doesn't work as well for a short waisted individual.
