as long as it makes constant sound, then it will do the job. take my advice, better buy a clicker than try to make it. its cheap

for deaf dogs a flashlight flash (on/off quickly) is used. I've also seen people use "yes", "good" and the ASL "K"

Get a Snapple or any other lid with a good solid "pop-up" safety seal. If you get a good lid, often using just your fingernail to push it in and release it will make a good, loud click exactly like the training clickers.

A clicker is merely a piece of spring steel, slightly dented on one end and then mounted inside a case to enhance the sound. Using the end not dented in, and bending it until the spring steel momentarily undents, normally with a loud click ! Releasing it and allowing it to return to it's original shape produces a lower in pitch click. You get 2 for the price of one.

hi there... i just got a new dog and was looking for a cheap way to make a clicker and then it came to me. use a clothespin as the source of the click. i put a fat rubber band around one of the slender pieces (the end that you squeeze) and then put my index finger through it. now all i do is use my thumb to squeeze the clothes pin and i let it go to make the click noise!

Use a hair clip or your tounge

Could you just figure out how to do it with your voice? That clicking sound is unique to some African languages. You can look it up to see how they do it.

. It doesn't have to be a clicker. Just about anything thing that will make noise will work. Just snap your fingers.

I've heard of using the top to a glass jar. The type that tell you not to eat the contents if it's been popped up.
