Exhibitor: The Clicker Leash Co.

The Clicker Leash Co. is excited to introduce its flagship product at this year's APDT Conference.  Developed to make humane training easy, convenient and fun, the Clicker Leash incorporates a raised button clicker with an ergonomically designed leash handle to eliminate fumbling, forgotten clickers and missed training opportunities.

Students and experienced trainers alike will enjoy the strong, comfortable grip and lightweight, durable construction of the Clicker Leash.  Because a clicker will be at their fingertips when out for walks and in other social settings, dog owners will be more likely to make training part of their daily routine, resulting in a well-trained, socialized pet.

The Clicker Leash Co. aims to make humane training people's first choice when it comes to teaching and interacting with their pets.  To raise awareness and make reward-based training more accessible to the average dog owner, the Clicker Leash Co. website offers free online tutorials and a Clicker Trainer Locator.  To be listed, visit our website.  While there check out the Train Humane Campaign and find out how you can get involved.

The Clicker Leash Co is happy to offer a 10% discount to all APDT conference attendees.  See you at booth #43.
