For those who are like me, and aren't cordiniated enough to treat/click/target at the same time, there are tools out there!

I used Good Bird Inc.'s Telescope Tragedy stick with Clicker. You can find other brands, but this one was made for birds so I went with it.

The target knob is on the end of a telescope rod, which is attached to a handle with a clicker in it. You can adjust the length of the target stick and click as they touch, all from 1 thing!

Or you can just use a vocal cue. I use the word *good* where others would click. You just charge the word good like you would the clicker.

You just need to pick a word you won't overuse. I started off using the word good, but admittedly that word is abused. I might switch the word good in French or Spanish instead since we don't use those in every day conversation.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
FYI there are dog clicker apps available for smartphones. They have adjustable tones and the volume is decent. Probably not the best solution, but almost everybody has one!
