WOAH you aren't kidding! This is the best clicker wrist coil I have ever purchased! It's worth the extra $2.75 just to have that hanging on your wrist, or leash, or wherever you want to put it! This item is probably not essential if you're training a goldfish or canary, but I find if you are training dogs, horses or tigers, it might be nice to have the option to free your hand up every now and then. The only drawback to this wrist strap (and I won't deduct any stars for this as it works FINE and does what it says it does) is that it leaves little red marks on my wrist if I wear it too long in high humidity situations. It would also be really nice if the company that makes these, would create a left-handed version so my husband could use one as well! That said, my Rat Terriers, Doberman and I (and I'm thinking of using this for training my children as well) seem to get along fine with this particular model! Thanks also for the tutorial video, I had this baby hitched up in no time!
