NO! But would love to know where in Oz one can get one?

Anita, these were demonstrated by Nicola Read (agility competitor) at the APDT seminar last year. They also seem quite popular for remote rewarding away from the handler for exercises like contacts and outs. They can also be used for teaching going to a mat or stays.

I know you can buy from the Clean Run (USA website)

I know this is a late reply but this is an Australian website that stocks the Manners Minder

They had these at the NPDT Seminars a few years ago.

I know a couple of folk who use them to reward the dogs at a distance and specifically for targetting the dog away from them and rewarding only the desired behaviour (a dog can self reward from bait on a bait plate).

What were you thinking of using it for?

I have one and used to use it for a lot of things. Delta was taught to weave using one as she wouldn't drive to a toy (food driven dog). You can set them to beep too which can take the place of a click as a reward marker.

The other thing I used to use it for is when I was training one dog, the other dog was able to be rewarded for lying quietly in their crate and not upsetting the neighbours

I asked that question so long ago I've forgotten now why I asked it!
