I just bought this clicker at petsmart because I have two dogs to train. It is supposed to have two distinct sounds so that each pet gets a consistent message the instant they do something right.. Great idea.. But it just didn't work. The chimes took too long to sound (that instant between the dog doing the right thing and no longer doing the right thing passed before the sound) and the click sometimes played a chime and sometimes clicked. I tried hitting the chime button hard and the click button soft, but this had inconsistent results as well.. Wish I could get one that works ad advertised.
It came with 2 batteries...no instructions for insertion. Tiny recepticle, tried one battery..did not work. I was worried about inserting two and closing. Maybe I would not be able open it again. I ended up inserting both batteries, one on top of the other and closed the cap door. The signal light blinked on and off and clickers still did not work. I had a devil of a time getting the cap door open. In a terrible sweat, I had to jimmy it open. I guess blinking light indicates low battery?? There was a website listed on the package for further "help" but it did not have one shred of advise.
This product is way overpriced for what you have to spend in gas and time to return the crazy gizmo.
UDATE: I bought batteries today with the hope that the ones that came with the clickers were old and diminished and just needed to be replaced. No such luck. Upon inserting the new batteries and after a few seconds delay, a light started to blink just like the previous ones that came with the Clik-R Duo. It will be returned.
Another UPDATE: I guess this useless thing is still making someone a ton of money... otherwise it would have been taken off the market by now. Everybody who is duped into ordering this represents $10... Multiply that by unsuspecting patrons across the country and somebody is living high on this constant source of revenue.

I just received my Clicker Duo. I was a bit concerned because the other review mentioned a delay in the chimes sounding. I am happy to report that the clicker I received worked as promised, no delay to hear the tone for either the click or the chimes. The click is a little quiet but I am used to using a box clicker.The instructions for inserting the batteries are non-existent and remember to turn it on before you try it out. The on/off button is fairly small on the right side next to the green button.
The lanyard has a quick connect attachment so you can wear it around your neck and then pop the clicker off of the lanyard when you want to use it. This should help keep it from getting lost.
All in all I think it will be quite handy!
