I was at PetCo today picking up a couple things and while in line I noticed a "Clicker Training" magazine on their magazine rack. Picked it up, leafed through it while waiting, then put it back on the rack....but on the top shelf, at eye-level, and covering up the Designer Dogs magazine.
I wanted to hang some of their box clickers all around it too, but I thought that might be overkill. [

I'd have to say that about 9 times out of ten when I'm in line there, the people in front of me will look at the impulse-buy box clicker tub, take a couple out, start clicking them at one another, and if they have a dog clicking it like it's a remote control, then shrug and put them back wondering why the dog didn't sit every time they clicked the clicker at it. Whenever Marlowe's there with me he shoots me these looks like, um, mom, they're doing it wrong and someone here is not getting any treats--someone furry and black with tan points? Do you know anyone like that? Hello? Mom?
