I've heard of some wonderful results using this method. However, as has already been mentioned, it loses its effectiveness in group situations where everyone is clicking!

I like Lindsay's advice of using a snap of your fingers. Not everyone will be doing that, so it may alleviate some possible confusion.

The main thing is to find 'your' sound. Clickers are great, until you misplace them. :p Then what?? As you know from your readings, the 'click' must be at the instant of the action. 2 seconds later is too late. Use a particular sound that you can make, without aids, at any time. That way you'll always be able to praise your pup, on time!
