Super Pet Hamster Potty, Color Varies

Super Pet Hamster Potty, Color VariesHamsters do go to them. They love sitting in there grooming themselves and sometimes cooling down to sleep when the environment is hot. You will spend less time cleaning soiled cages if you use these potties. They were lifesavers when I used them. I bought like 3, five or six yrs ago and they still work great. Use 'Fresh Step' regular kitty litter with these. You can get it at any grocer. It turns out to be the best litter for odor control and the hammies don't appear affected or allergic to it. Every hamster I've ever owned has used this potty for a litter. If they don't go to it is probably because the type of litter affects their respiratory system.

The top for the potty is unnecessary and my prompt your hamster to use the potty for a nest instead of a potty since hamsters like enclosed areas to make there nests. Also, the oval shape is not the best for location in a corner of the cage, if that is where your hamster has chosen for there potty location, but other than these minor problems the potty works fine. A note of advice in using the potty, let your hamster choose the location for the potty. Hamsters are clean creatures and usually will select one spot in there cage in which to urinate. I suggest noting this spot and put scooping up the soiled bedding and use in the potty for the first time. This helps the hamster identify the potty. When you change out the bedding in the potty the first time you can move to using litter.

Some of the biggest complaints I have seen is the hamster eating the litter used, and for that I'd just suggest changing litter types. Personally, I use Tidy Cat litter in my potty and have had no problems with my hamster eating it. She does play in her potty, digging around in the litter, but that is not a big deal.

Also note, the potty is not for feces. Rodent feces do not smell and are not a big problem in the cage unless you want to never clean your cage (in which case, don't get a rodent for a pet). It is the urine that smells, and having a smaller area to change out and clean fairly often is a lot easier than the entire cage.

Our hammie loves her pottie, and uses it exclusively to pee. She still poops all over the cage. Keeping the cage shavings dry is healthier for the animal. You can easily clean the potty every day, whereas cleaning the entire cage every day, or even every few days, can be impractical. She used it after about a day of is being there. She's had it for one year, and it's quite funny -she gets up out of her igloo during her middle of the day's sleep, goes pee in her potty, takes a drink out of her bottle, and goes back to "bed" in her igloo.

We use a pellitized wood shaving product for the potty. It's sold at the pet store, and is just different enough from the shavings that she treats it as what it is. I've never seen her put it in her mouth.

I bought this shortly after purchasing my 2 dwarf hamsters. It is great. At first they didn't use it, they peed in their wheel. But I read on the box that if you place it where they naturally go, then there is a better chance of them using it. So I put it where the wheel use to go and moved the wheel and now they go potty in it instead! It definitely helps to keep the cage cleaner and more sanitary.

I have a pet gerbil named Jade who is getting quite old. Her sister died last year, and she's too frail to put up with a new companion introduction, so she lives on her own.

As she got older, Jade began going to the bathroom in only one corner, which she had never done before. It became a hassle having to clean the whole tank so often because of all the "contents" being in one corner while the rest of the litter stayed clean. One day, I noticed this at the store and thought it would be an ideal solution. I'd be able to keep her home cleaner and she'd be healthier and happier, so I bought it.

When I first put it in her tank, she went to inspect it after a few minutes. Instead of using it to go to the bathroom, however, she started EATING the litter! I thought she'd realise after a while that it wasn't food, but after a few minutes she was still trying to eat it. And I'm sure she wasn't just trying to use it for nesting material, because she actually was eating it, not just shredding it up.

I ended up dumping the litter (I wasn't sure how safe it was for her to be eating it), but I kept the litter box. I filled it with a little bit of aspen bedding and put it in her potty corner, and she uses it regularly. It's much easier to keep her tank clean, with daily litterbox cleanings and weekly tank cleanings.

Overall, the litterbox itself was a good idea, but the litter seems a little too "tasty" to use. I'd recomment using aspen or corncob bedding as "litter" instead of the included material.

Premier Collar, Medium 3/4-Inch, Royal Blue

Premier Collar, Medium 3/4-Inch, Royal BlueThis collar fills the gap between a conventional and a walking collar. It tightens without the narrow restriction, and releases a bit slower but enough to be comfortable.

These collars are the very best for most any dog. It's almost impossible for a dog to slip out of it which can be very helpful with dogs that have small heads. We use these collars for all of our dogs and have for years.

My sneaky dog backed his way out of a halter the other day while on a walk, which meant I needed a new collar, and fast! My other half thought a choke collar was mean, but I didn't trust using another halter, so this was our compromise. It seems comfortable, he hasn't been able to back out of it, and I'm 100% happy with the product.

Tri-Tronics Classic 70 G3 EXP Training Collar

Tri-Tronics Classic 70 G3 EXP Training CollarOnly one small issue but I got that figured out. To get the transmitter to charge you have to put the transmitter in the cradle and then push it back to make it 'click' into place to connect. It took me a little bit to get this figured out. The instructions only say to ensure you hear a "positive click." Once you get that squared away, it charges quickly and holds a charge for several days (depending on use, I'm sure).

It works great if you have multiple dogs (up to 6).

You can adjust the intensity of the stimulation, but it isn't as easy as some of the other Tri-Tronics models.

Some of them you can press one button for light stimulation and another button for more stimulation. Both buttons for max stimulation on the specific level selected.

This unit doesn't work like that. Three buttons and one switch. each button controls one of three collars. Flip the switch and control another three collars. Stimulation dial is on top (level 1 6). This is NOT a bad unit and I use it daily. Just not what I was expecting. But that was my fault for not reading up on it enough.

Battery life is fantastic and training video that comes with it is great.

This is great for behavior modification. I agree that this collar has a lot of power and should be used responsibly, so contact your dog trainer for instruction on its use.

Great Collar. It has given me piece of mind and saved my dogs life. I hated the fact I had to buy one. I have had a lot of dogs over the years and never needed one. I live on a ranch and my year old english bully haus has decided he does not like cows. We have only had to zap him twice on 1. Now when needed we use the warning. He is good as gold.

I am very satisfied with this collar. It looks cute on my dog and fit him perfectly. He is a 16 lb Chihuahua mix and his neck measured 12.5 inches so I wasn't sure if I should stick with a small or go a size up. When it arrived it looked really small and I thought to myself there is no way this will fit him...but took the packaging off, adjusted it and it fits perfectly.

We only used this collar for the few weeks that our breeder had our puppy.. We chose it so we could spot him easily in videos the breeder sent.. When we picked him up, we replaced the collar he had on with another that we chose.. This is for a puppy or small/petite dog -our dog had just about outgrown it at 8 weeks (Male Standard Labradoodle) so choose your size wisely.

Blue Dog Bakery Natural Low Fat Dog Treats, Assorted Flavors, 20-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Blue Dog Bakery Natural Low Fat Dog Treats, Assorted Flavors, 20-Ounce BoxesBlue Dog Bakery Premium Natural Low Fat Dog Treats, Peanut Butter & Molasses, 20-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

These are an excellent product. I first started buying them for my two large dogs, and both love their treats. Unfortunately, they are both slightly overweight. These are perfect, as they are low fat and made from natural ingredients. They must taste great, as my dogs always want them at treat time.

I highly recommend Blue Dog Bakery Premium Natual Low Fat Dog Treats to anyone who is looking for a healthy, low fat, appealing dog treat for their dogs.

The dogs love these, the only thing I would caution is that they are on the large size. So though they would be a great snack for large active dogs, they are a bit too much for a puppy and a slightly overweight scottie dog. Some of the shapes are so large they make a meal for a smaller dog. And they are not they easiest things to break apart. But as stated above the dogs love them, in fact they smell so good they could tempt a human.

My Yellow Lab prefers these cookies over several other well known brands. Yes, they are hard as several reviewers have noted all the better for helping to reduce tarter thru chewing hard cookies or biscuits which in turn helps to promote healthier gums. I find the hardness of these cookies no different from say Milk Bone Dog Biscuits which my Lab also loves. I spoke to my Vet about these dry, hard cookies and, based upon the ingredients listed on the cookie box, he saw nothing wrong with giving them as a treat BUT as with any other treat, only in moderation. He also surmised that the hardness of the cookies could help in reducing tarter buildup. I give my Lab either one of the larger sized or two of the smaller sized cookies per day. They make a nice treat after his evening walk. (He gets a Milk Bone after his morning stroll). I've purchased both the peanut butter & molasses as well as these assorted flavors cookies and my Lab loves them all. He gives these Blue Dog Bakery cookies a "Four Paws" rating.

Sadie is a six year old German Shephard and comes to me asking for dog biscuits whenever she wants one. I ask her if she wants to go outside and she just looks at me. I ask her if she wants a dog biscuit and she sticks her tongue out. That means "yes."

Sadie really likes the Blue Dog biscuit more than any others. I can tell because she asks for one three times a day.

Right now it's very hot here in Medford, Oregon, and sadie only wants to go out to "do her duty." I worry that she is getting too fat. What a spoiled brat!

I bought this close to 4 years ago at B.B&B when my dog was abt a year. I had fully trained her, but was really feeling guilty that she would hold her pee for 10 hrs while at work.

For a week, she rubbed herself on it , thinking its a toy. Finally got it, I would just place her on it, say "pee, pee", as that's the command I've always used while training her. She is a pro now.lol

Doesn't use it everyday, but I love the fact that she can, if need be.

Easy to clean.

Mednet Direct 30'' x 30'' X-Large ULTRA Puppy Pads - 100 Count

Mednet Direct 30'' x 30'' X-Large ULTRA Puppy Pads - 100 CountWe have two chihuahua's that go outside 90% of the time, occasionally if the weather is bad we have to let them use the pad in our bathroom upstairs. I was looking for a pad that would fit our 25x30 tray, but the measurements on this pad also includes the non-absorbant 2" border so these pads are more like 26x26 of usable pad. I wasn't impressed. We've had to double these up and thankfully they are almost used up so we can go back to our old (more expensive brand). The absorbancy is also just average, but if you only have one small dog and it fits your tray I'm sure they do the job.

Nature's Miracle Pet Block Deterrent Spray

Nature's Miracle Pet Block Deterrent Spray, 16-OuncesAfter seeing all the negative reviews I had to chime in with my positive. I have a rock/grass little area outside for my kids and my dog had decided that was the perfect bathroom. I started off my cleaning up all waste and rinsing down the area to treat. After it was dry, I sprayed the entire area with Pet Block. He instantly started rolling around in it so my thoughts were that it doesn't work. However, I have continued to spray the area every morning. He continues to roll around all over the fresh spray while I'm using it but he's yet to poo even one time in a week in any of the areas I have sprayed! If you are trying to stop biting or chewing, this may not work as they do seem to like the smell but something about it makes my dog not want to "go" anywhere near this spray. I'm hoping to find gallon sized bottles somewhere so I can continue using for less cost.

I have a rottweiler who loves to lay on the couch. We are trying to break her of this habit. I bought Pet Block and sprayed the couch down with it, pretty much soaking it. I left her downstairs and came back less than 10 minutes later and she was laying on the couch and actually smelling it! I would say it is a waste of money.

Have tried indoors and outside. Used in mulch to keep cat out, did not bother cat at all. He sniffed it and did his business!! Indoors tried on bottom of couch to stop them from clawing and on steps that they are destroying buy clawing out all the carpet fibers. Once again, does not affect them at all. You may as well spray catnip on everything!! Do not waste your money. I thought this product would work, because I buy the same brand odor eliminator and it does work, howver, this product does nothing. The only good thing is that I purchased at a pet supplies store and they told me I can return for full refund if it does not work, even if I use half the bottle.

My new cat is urinating on my leather couch. I washed the couch down with Nature's Miracle Urine remover and then sprayed the couch with this Pet Block Repellant. My cat urinated on the couch that again that afternoon. I re-cleaned the couch and this time I poured half the bottle of this Pet Block Repellant onto a washcloth and wiped the entire couch down with the soaked washcloth. The cat came by to see what I was doing. I held the washcloth out towards him, the cats smelled it for a while and jumped up and rubbed his back against the washcloth! What a waste of time, energy and money!!!

400 YARD DOG REMOTE TRAINING 7 LEVEL SHOCK VIBRATION COLLAR (AT-216S-350W)

400 YARD DOG REMOTE TRAINING 7 LEVEL SHOCK VIBRATION COLLAROur old shock collar broke and for a while our coon hound was not barking but then she realized she no longer had a working collar and started barking again. After some neighborhood complaints, we decided to get another collar. Seen this one was happy about the price and so far, it is working great! I love that you can do a vibrate instead of a shock to get her attention. After shocking her twice, she got the message and no longer barks. The only problem we have had with it is that the collar does not shut off. The blue light continues to blink even if we press the power button. But we only need to charge it once a week so we can live with that. The remote is kind of big and bulky but since she doesn't seem to need it all of the time, we don't feel the need to carry it around with us. Great collar for the price.

Wish I would have purchased this collar years earlier. Would have saved me lots of time, efforts and frustration on one of our more challenging dogs. After years of unresolved behavior issues, this collar allowed us to make significant progress in only two days. I would highly recommend it for both quality and effectiveness.

Remote 300m Range Electronic Dog Training Collar for 2 Dogs Rechargeable and Waterproof

Remote 300m Range Electronic Dog Training Collar for 2 Dogs Rechargeable and WaterproofThese Petrainer collars are offered by Esky and Pet-Ed at lower prices. They are not waterproof, not even water resistant, as some sellers claim. Without immersion I had two fail after the dog ran in shallow water at the beach. Otherwise, while they worked the dog responded very well and only needed a vibration or beep to remind him when needed. After the last failure I continued to have him wear the defunct collar, and he still behaved well; well almost. Unless you live in a dry area, don't waste your money.

Pooch Pads - X Large

Pooch Pads - X LargeI love Pooch pads. It is great to be able to use the product over and over again but the down side is that after the 2nd wash the thread around the edges unraveled. If you can't wash them and they hold together, they are not worth much. This was the second batch I purchased and the first is still doing very well. So I guess it can go either way. I don't think I would purchase unless I owned a sewing machine.

SportDOG YardTrainer 105 Dog Trainer, SD-105

SportDOG YardTrainer 105 Dog Trainer, SD-105We recently purchased the Sport Dog shock collar. Me being the reluctant female(thinking..."ohhhh...how cruel", and my husband being ever so reassuring that it really would be beneficial, AND he would test it on himself(be he ever so manly...I had to see that one!)... We bought it for the sole intent of gaining immediate and definitive control of our then 7 month old/70lb doberman pup, since we have two children roughly the same size as the dog with the dog soon to surpass them in size. Setting 1 did absolutely nothing, setting 2...well, dog ran around confused after the correction. Setting 3 definitely got his full attention. I was a believer after using this the first couple of times that it is VERY VERY effective in a good way. The best part is the warning tone... you give the corrective command, and when dog does not respond, you beep then immediately give the corrective shock(what really amounts to a strong static shock from walking across the carpet and touching another human...even tried it on myself...and I'm a GIRL!)... The positive thing about the warning tone is that after just a couple of shocks after the tone...ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS beep...dog magically responds, and does as he should. Great for a bark collar as well. When my overzealous barker goes nutzo in the backyard just because he wants to hear himself bark...I give the tone from in the house...he STOPS barking, and will quietly go about his routine outside time only to bark at the really emminent threats(well...that he perceives when the cat walks on the fence!). Batteries last okay... we really just got lazy about turning the unit off EVERY time, so they did run down within a couple of weeks of use, but not that expensive to buy a couple more at the local market. The ONLY CON is that when the collar is not on the dog, he KNOWS it, and pushes his luck a bit more. I have heard tale of other collars having a dummy collar for just such cases, so I am considering making up a dummy for him to maybe trick him into thinking it's always on until he is a grown up doggie, and will be all knowing in the ways of human expectation of less barking, no jumping on the glass door, no sniffing the no-no area on guest or pack members, and come to my side when I say... On that last note: that was the BEST part when my lunatic came immediately to my side after saying "Come", tone, zap! Pretty soon, "Come", tone".... now just "Come", and voila', he's there! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

I did a lot of research on these before I purchased one for my cocker spaniel. Many of the other products out there, at $20-$50 less, had great reviews BUT when you looked at the actual review, the products had many problems (distance less than expected, batteries wearing out quickly, not working at all after a few months, etc.). It appeared as if they were scored high because the dogs stopped doing what the owners wanted and therefore rated thier experience as good even thought the product failed.

My dog was quite well behaved but at one year old, I still struggled with "come" and "stay" and he also didn't walk consistently well and when excited would constantly pull on the leash. THIS PRODUCT HAS TURNED HIM INTO THE PERFECT DOG!!!

At first, he wore it all day and I used it for every command. I followed the directions carefully and combined my command with the tone and then correction when he did not listen. He now only wears it when we walk or are just hanging out in the front yard (non fenced). He listens to me with out the collar on 98% of the time (still a puppy) and when wearing the collar he rarely needs corrections. I walk him with this instead of a leash and we can walk by other crazy, pulling, barking, snarling, yapping dogs and he stays right at my heal and looks at them like they are crazy.

And I have owned this product for 3 months and have not had to change or replace the batteries and have yet to find a range/distance it did not work. Sometimes I can't see where my dog is and I call him and give the tone and he appears immediately.

THIS PRODUCT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY I PAID. Highly recommend this brand.

I just got it and I'm fairly happy so far. It's small and lightweight as advertised and the quality seems good. Loading batteries into the receiver can be tricky so be careful. The transmitter and receiver each take two batteries. I don't know yet how long they will last. The snap collar makes fastening easy. My biggest disappointment was that the collar would not fit my Cocker Spaniel. If your dog's neck size is smaller than 15", look for a different collar. The stimulation levels seem good I tested levels 1-4 on my underarm. Level one was barely noticeable, level four approaches discomfort and will probably be the highest I will need. Features that this model doesn't have but you may want to look for include rechargable batteries, waterproof transmitter, momentary stimulation and remote turn-off.

I ordered the yard trainer for my LAB. We go to the park Monday thru Saturday mornings and walk with other dog walkers and their dogs. Our dogs are allowed to run free, and they love it. My dog was the only one who kept her nose on the ground and ate everything from paper to poop. The trainer has helped a great deal, but we're not "there" yet. Only one problem so far. When it is cold (below 20 degrees or so), it freezes up and won't stay "on" or won't even turn on. Come warm weather, I hope to see more improvement both in her disgusting eating habit as well as her obedience.

I was hesitant to use an E-collar but my 7 month old GSD puppy was just getting a bit out of hand with the chewing and jumping and barking and everything else. She is a good puppy most of the time but when she wants something, she'll pretty much knock down the glass door and she won't stop no matter what we do. Knowing that giving in would just empower her and reinforce the behavior, I got this collar after researching all the alternatives.

I tested it on myself and determined that level 2 gives a slight numbing pulse while 4 gives a little snap like a higher powered static charge when you get out of your car and touch the car door on a cold day. I read the manual which is pretty good and straight forward and started working with the dog. The dog is already pretty good with "sit" and "down" and sometimes "come" but not "heel". I also couldn't take the dog out without a leash and it was always a battle with the tugging and pulling. One time it broke off a smaller collar and I had to buy a big thick double heavy duty nylon collar to hold her.

The behavior changed within 1 day of using this collar. The dog comes immediately when I call and I just have to beep and she'll run over and sit next to me. I don't need to shock her anymore after just 1 day as long as she sees me. I still have to shock her though if she doesn't see me and she will still jump all over the wife and kid so I have to monitor her.

First time walking her without a leash, she ran off to the neighbor's house as she always does, I beeped, she didn't respond, I turned on the shock, she ran back so fast at a full gallop that when she couldn't stop in time next to me, she hit my legs and almost knocked me over. The second time, she ventured out a few feet but didn't dare go past me. We took a walk around the neighborhood without a leash and she was always by my side. Truly amazing.

Like the heading says, it's only been 3 weeks and I have to constantly monitor her with the collar and once in a while I have to beep it to remind her to behave but I don't have to use the shock unless she is getting very unruly with the wife, then I have to use the shock to remind her to behave. Batteries are still good, but I always turn it off when not in use.

Even though this is a great tool, it is no substitute for taking the time to work with the dog. This will speed things up and supplement a good training regimen, but it is not a substitute.

Dog Supplies Pro-Training Clicker Deluxe

Dog Supplies Pro-Training Clicker DeluxeA band to place the clicker round your wrist is a good thing. I think all models should come with this feature and if you don't want it cut it off. Given the price of this clicker copared to a non delux I expected something more. After shipping you can pay upwards of $15 dollars for a single clicker. This seems a bit too expensive for any feature. I find the plastic used in the yellow band is stiff, uncomfortable and slides off my wrist easily. You can achive the same thing using sting or two hair bands for less then 10 cents.

I actually use the one I modified more then the delux. All said I feel like I wasted my hard earned money and regret my purchase.

Herm Sprenger Neck Tech Training Collar Black 24"

Herm Sprenger Neck Tech Training Collar Black 24'this collar is a little expensive but well worth the price. i have a dog that does not like other dogs and loves to chase cats! i got so tired of people giving me dirty looks and telling me that the regular prong collar i WAS using was "cruel" to the dog. people who do not have a problem dog, do not understand! a trainer once told me to "distract him with treats". when should i do that,trainer? while he's yanking my arm off or while i'm face-planted on the asphalt/sidewalk? this collar is so wonderful! it comes in different sizes. my dog has a 19" neck but i ordered the 24" so i could fit it to my liking. didn't want it exactly at 19" cause i felt it was too tight. one problem: it is not easy to add or remove the links. the instructions make it look easy but it is not. i used a pair of pliers. u can also order extra links if needed. the best thing about this collar is that it looks like a regular collar :)Herm Sprenger Neck Tech Training Collar Black 24"

Good collar, does the job. Very good quality, and worth the money. Also the pieces aren't that hard to take out, it's takes a little effort, over all satisfied with purchase.

I purchased this product to be used as a training tool as needed. The craftsmanship is exactly what I expected it would be from HS exceptional (there is a reason my dog only wear HS!). The comments about the getting the links out are true it takes lots of patience. This isn't necessarily a problem, just something one should be aware of.

Vibration Dog Remote Trainer, 300 Yard Multivet

Vibration Dog Remote Trainer, 300 Yard MultivetNot only was the product very slow in reaching us, wrong color of collar plus no matter what we did, no vibration came forth! The little flash light works and a little tiny twerp sound works. But that is all that works. I am returning them. Our dogs thought the collars were just that, collars. I don't think they were disapointed the collars did not work!

I purchased this collar several times for a few clients who had Deaf dogs. This collar is perfect and cheaper than the alternatives as a way of getting your deaf dogs attention. We used the Low Vibe as a look at me. And the Higher Vibe as a COME. The flash light was also used to help the dog figure out which person was calling him. Worked perfect!

Only complaint is that it is a little bulky both in collar and in remote and the brown plastic could really be updated! :)

Other than that, this is a fantastic collar for training Deaf dogs!

This product was ok. it's not the best vibrating collar out there, but it does work. I would say that the vibration buzzes a little too long to be especially effective as a training tool. I was also disappointed that the collar came with electric shock, I thought it was only a vibration collar from the ad. I don't intend to ever use the shock and don't like the risk that I would shock my dog by accident.

Bought this item and when we received it it worked for one day. After that no shock or vibration would come of it. It is cheaply made in some crappy factory far away, so you get what you paid for which is crap.

Gentle Lead Collar - Large Red

Gentle Lead Collar - Large Redif you wan't to completely control and OWN your dog and his/her mind and free will, I extremely recommend this product. I have bought three of them, because he hates them so much that he chews them up. I wish they made them with metal instead of plastic snappers, but that is no big deal to me.

Needed to replace our old GLC as our golden retriever had outgrown it. Got this one at such a good price, but it turns out to be money wasted. I think the thing made it through maybe three walks before the muzzle strap broke off. Not repairable, and won't be replacing it with this same unit, just more money down the drain.

Karen Pryor, Getting Started: Clicker Training Kit for Dogs PLUS

Karen Pryor, Getting Started: Clicker Training Kit for Dogs PLUSThis kit breaks down dog training into little steps. The DVD was very helpful because you watch real and untrained dogs, receiving their first lesson. Karen explaines what she doing and why, all through the lessons. You don't have to know everything about training. You don't even have to know a lot about it. You just need to know one small step at a time.

You don't have to carry the book around either. The 'Click 10 easy steps' cards on the key chain provide easy reminders of what to do and how to do it. Each step you practice and teach your dog gets easier as you go. Your dog learns and you become more proficient using the clicker, with each step you teach. Before you know it, you are completely trained in using the clicker. My dog remembered the lessons, even when I wasn't consistant with training times. He did learn faster when he was hungry. I used cut up cheese sticks.

I do recommend having several clickers. I found I was often without one, because it was on the shelf or in another coat pocket. They can easily be purchased at the pet shop and are very inexpensive.

Quality of dvd was lacking in quality and substance. I am convinced that clicker training is excellant training. I am disappointed in the training provided on the dvd.

This is a good kit for starting. I found that the treats were good but it is a very small package. I wish there were two clickers because I found that I needed one in the house and one for a coat pocket. Between my horses, chickens and dogs I now have half a dozen so they are handy. The video is a little amateur, but one of the valuable lessons that I learned from it was at first it feels like chaos, but as soon as the animal "catches on" it all becomes so much easier. It comes so easy that it almost feels like luck, but not so. Clicker training is based on firm scientific principles and is a humane, proven (and I feel, vastly superior) dog training method. Read the book, watch the video, play with the tricks and make your dog your partner! Do it now! Click!! good dog.

I have seen and heard this program in the past and wanted to get it for our young corgi. He responded very well and is having a lot of fun with the training. I highly recommend it. The DVD is especially helpful and answers lots of questions.

The kit is nicely put together. Although the DVD is low production quality, the content is good.
