No, it's definitely not what you want!
Put it like this, lots of top trainers who excel with their dogs train using clickers - none of them need to constantly carry a clicker. Reason being that the dogs have been trained correctly - the clicker is a tool for training, once the dog has learnt everything required correctly, and understands the cue or command, the clicker simply isn't needed
Dogs can be trained by their people with clickers quite close to each other - it just has to be done correctly...they soon get to understand when their owner is clicking with their clicker.
It sounds as if the owners you see out and about are bad clicker users, and not really clicker trainers...:smt002
