Secure Leather Mesh Basket Muzzle #16 Brown - Great Dane, Saint Bernard, Mastiff (Circumference 15.5

This muzzle seems to be a comfortable fit for my Mastiff to wear. He is able to breath with no difficulties, it is easy to put on and it keeps others safe while out in public. It also is soft enough to where it doesn't leave bruises on me when he rubs up against me like the harder muzzles do. Certainly would reccomend it to others.

I purchased this muzzle for my mastiff. It fits him perfectly and is very secure. The first few times I put it on him he tried getting it off but he wasn't able to. The leather is strong but soft so it doesn't hurt his face. There are many rivets holding it together, which gives me comfort knowing that if somehow one broke, the others would keep it together. I chose this muzzle after hours of researching every muzzle for sale on here and reading reviews here and on other sites. I'm happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.

Simple Solution ECO-CARE Puppy Training Pads, 50 Pads

My two poodles are pad trained. I have been upset because the pads I have used for four years are no longer available. I decided to try these pads. I have to tell you when I took the first one out of the package I thought it was disgusting looking. I put it down and my dog used it OMG it looked so nasty! BUT the spot didn't spread and stayed small and it totally absorbed quickly. Usually I have to change pads after every pee, but with two of these down I was able to wait 5 pees! No odor at all and completely dry, no tracking. I was surprised and use about a third less of these than regular pads. Amazing for looking so nasty. Give it a try.

I bought this training pad pack wanting to be green as we use so many of these for our old dog. However, I got weird little dust pellets all over my face and floors. It was a mess to clean up. The dust is inside the training pad an any little tear will spill this mess all over you and your house. I hope it's not poisonous because I got it in my nose and mouth.

These pads are easily chewed up by my puppy which is a hazard as the fiber inside expands like a gel when wet and

VERY DIFFICULT to clean up. Otherwise, I like the eco theme.

I've been using the simple solutions original training pads and when I saw these, I absolutely LOVED the idea of saving space in the landfill and ordered these immediately since my puppy was already using the original pads with NO problems. Well...these turned out to be a total disaster because these have small black specks in between the liners that it attracted my puppy to dig these out and therefore was shredding these pads to bits. I couldn't get him to stop and after almost a week, I went back to the simple solution original training pads. I was disappointed as I hate the idea of filling up the landfills with these pads that don't degrade like the eco-care.

Our 10 year old shih-tzu's back legs became paralyzed within 2 days of receiving his annual shots. He began to walk like a drunken sailor & within a few hours couldn't move his back legs, but could feel deep pain. Our vet said he might need surgery. I didn't like that idea so she treated him aggressively with steroids, muscle relaxants and pepcid for 36 hours. He didn't improve so we decided on back surgery & were told his chances of walking again were 10% with the aggressive treatment & 85% with surgery. We were told to get the house ready for him to come home...which meant a place to keep him confined for 4 weeks. We are using an old play pen that isn't safe for children, put a 4" thick orthopedic mattress in it, filled the empty space with boxes so our dog won't fall off the mattress, put an old shower curtain over everything & tucked it in...so he can't slip into any space and hurt his back or legs; put an old rug on top of the shower curtain and two puppy pads on top of everything. It turned out that he's never messed in his bed...and I found another use for the puppy pads.

We use a sling to hold up his back half, otherwise, he'd fall down. We usually keep the sling on him when he potties...of course, he pees on it, and the sling needs to be laundered before we can use it again. I decided to cut up a puppy pad & duct tape it around the sling! Problem solved. The pad easily slips off the sling when I need to change it. His sling has never gotten wet again. This is the only brand of puppy pads I've ever used so I can't compare them. However, these pads are doing a great job keeping the sling dry; I don't notice any pee odor on the pads. The pad catches all his pee & none of it drips onto the ground...so I'd say these are very absorbent. I get 4 sling covers from one pad. The size small sling for our Tzu measures 15" long x 4.5" wide. These puppy pads have proven to be invaluable & have saved me from doing endless loads of laundry, and buying more slings.

Remington Pet Kennel, 24-Inch for Pets 10 to 20-Pound, Beige/Remington Green

Great item for the price that it is. I needed a bigger crate for my ever-growing kitten and this size is much more comfortable for him. Be careful if buying this for a cat because it although the door is large, there is no top gate to get the cat in and out of, which could be a problem. For my kitten, he happily walks in and out of the crate as he pleases, so it's no problem for me. The crate is large but also light, which is good, and the latches and gate seem secure.Overall happy that I bought this!

Westminster Pet 71040 Dog Chain Lead

What else could I say? It's a leash, it holds my dog, it does the job. The clasp is a little stiff and can be an annoyance, but it works fine otherwise.

Mendota Products Small Slip Lead

This type of dog lead was recommended by the Dog Whisperer years ago. When he put it on a unruly dog, it would immediately behave. I could not find any of these leashes locally and bought every other style I could find, but my dog would not handle on a leash (probably my bad as much as the dog's). After a couple of years of fighting and losing to the dog, I decided to order this slip lead on the internet. When we put it on him, it was amazing. The dog immediately within seconds walked on the leash and quit struggling. He was as well behaved as a model animal. I had a well trained dog that healed for once. I am completely satisfied. I wish I had ordered one earlier. (Now if I can just get something to stop that barking.)

I had to return this and exchange for the 6 ft, as i had forgotten how short 4 ft can be. Stylish too. I was able to return and exchange with NO hassles.

We purchased this lead to use as the leash for our Border Terrier. It is the right diameter for him and seems to be quite durable. It is easy to slip right over his head when it's time to go outside and is long enough to give him room to roam when we're in a field or somewhere he wants to sniff something. The color is great as well, easy to find it.

I used this 4ft slip lead for training my 47lb pit bull to behave better on walks. The material is soft, but strong and the color sheme looks very nice. The leather tab is adjustable and helps to hold the leash around high on the dog's neck for better control. I also bought a 6ft version and am very happy with them both.

PetSafe Deluxe Little-Dog Remote Trainer for Pets Under 40 Pounds, PDLDT-305

We bought this for our Rat Terrier. He's very smart and was learning all his basic commands but not "Come". When he got lose he refused to come when you called him. I worried about his safety. With the kids in and out of the house all summer, something needed to be done. As a animal lover I was really torn about the idea of a "shock" collar. What sold me was that this one could be set low and could also be used with a "beep". It only took him three times before he got it. The first time he left the yard I called him, he did the typical "Ha-yeah right", and took off! I gave him the command "Come Cosmo!" and then zapped him. He did yelp, I won't lie:-( He stopped and started to take off again, I repeated. He came running to me. I praised him and gave him treats. Next time I "beeped" him first with the command, followed by a second beep (still didn't come) then a zap, then he came...more praise. Last time I just "beeped" him and he came instantly!!. Now he wears it and we don't even have it turned on! It comes with a book on training for other bad habits like chasing cars, trash raiding, and digging. Along with basic training. It was worth the money. He got out the other day without the collar on, I panicked but opened the front door and called him. He came running to the door!! Also we have neighbors walk their dogs by our house, we just tell him to "sit" and "stay". They just walk right by without any trouble. Perfect! In less then a week he was trained. We could have spent a couple hundred dollars and a month or more on classes for basic training. All of which we didn't have the time or money for. This was easy and worth it!

I have owned dogs and been with dogs since birth. The majority of these wonderful animals have been pets, but I have also spent years working with hunting dogs; raising, training and working with. Until recently I have always been rather smug, and must admit to having done a bit of bragging that I have never had a dog or known a dog that I could not train. Now of the literally hundreds of animals I have been in contact with and worked with over the years this has been true. In addition I can truthfully say I have never hit a dog, lost my temper with a dog, and other than firm voice command and gentle authoritarian use of a leash, used any other training aid. I had very mixed emotions and must admit to have had strong reservations in using such a device as being reviewed here. I have had friend who have had excellent results with their hunting animals with the use of "shock collars," and swear by them, but still and all.....

Well enter Ivan (as in Ivan the Terrible) who is a small terrier who may be 13 pounds soaking wet, although I am convinced he thinks he is the size of a timber wolf. Ivan is about one year old and was "dumped" at our place and was in horrid condition when he came to our door. Being the stern fellow I am, and already in possession of three house dogs, I did the only thing I could do...yup, took the little fellow in. After several trips to the groomer, healthy diet, being checked out an neutered by the vet, given lots and lots of love, he is doing just great. That has been eight months ago.

Ivan is actually a very good little dog. It took two days to house train him, he is well mannered in the house, and is a perfect lap dog. He sleeps in my lap while I read and lies across the top of my head when I go to bed. He gets long with the other animals perfectly. Ivan though has a typical terrier attitude. i.e. a hard head. No method I tried could keep him from bolting from the door, giving a "you and the horse you road in on" look over his shoulder when called, and just keep on going. Now we live in the woods and about 200 yards from the road. Ivan was in great risk of being run over as he loved to chase cars, or being eaten by coyotes as he loved to chase the feral cats who inhabit the woods surrounding us. He would spend hours, day and night, in the pursuit of his feline "enemies." I spent many late nights tromping the bush trying to catch this little critter and bring him home. What to do? The cats are able to avoid (or sometimes not) the coyotes by climbing trees...Ivan does not posses that skill.

Well, as a last resort I ordered one of these wonderful PetSafe trainers for small dogs. I began by testing it on myself...several times, by fastening it to my arm and allowing my wife to zap me...using the high mode....I actually suspicion she enjoyed it...go figure. Anyway, I can promise you that the pain is not all that bad. It does instantly get your attention and is very uncomfortable, but the actual pain is not really all that bad.

Well we then put the devise on Ivan. To make a not so long story even shorter, this thing worked perfectly and it only took three days and about six zaps. Ivan no longer heads for the woods, has stopped chasing cars and stays within his five or more acre area. He comes instantly when called. I can truly say that this thing has probably saved him from being squashed or eaten.

The device is very easy to use. It has 10 settings, 10 being the most powerful. It has been through rain, ice and snow and keeps on working. It is easy to fasten it on the dog. The antenna is buried in the actual collar so there is little chance of it breaking. The batteries seem to have a very long life.

There are two modes on this collar. There is a "beep" button and there is a "zapper" button. It does, as advertised, reach for at least 100 yards. We found that by giving Ivan warning (two) with the beeper before we actually gave him the mild shock worked out quite well. He now instantly returns when he hears the beeping noise. Actually, at this point, he instantly responds and returns at a verbal command.

Some things to note:

Ivan is a bright dog and it did not take him long to associate the collar with the shock. After three times of being hit he behaved well but the first time we let him out without the device in place he headed for the tall timber....back on the collar went. We did this a few times and finally purchased a regular collar, a cheap collar, and when it is on Ivan thinks it is the "bad" collar and behaves perfectly. We are in the process of weaning him from the non-shock collar as I write this and all is working out quite well.

Second: I read at least one review here that stated the collar burned holes in their dogs' fur and skin. This is an absolute blatant untruth...there is no way this device is capable of doing such a thing. The people who wrote those reviews either left the collar on too long and the studs wore a hole in the fur of the dog, or they are misguided individuals trying to "save" the dogs from these "dreadful devices." Hey folks, better startle your dog a bit than have him killed. I am a bit surprised that Amazon has allowed these untruthful reviews to stand. These misguided "do-gooder" reviews could cost many pets their lives and the people who wrote them should be ashamed of their selves.

Third: Even if you get overly enthusiastic with your zapping, the device will automatically stop the shock after eight seconds. This is important when dealing with over zealous children using the device.

Forth: If there are buildings, large trees and shrubs and such in the way, the collar is less effective.

Fifth: the device on the collar should be turned off when the dog is in the house our training time is over as it will prolong the battery life. Also, the collar should not be left on the dog for over eight hours per instructions.

Sixth: These devices should never ever be used as a form of punishment for your pet; a pox on your house if you do so.

I could not be happier with a product than I am this one. It was with every penny I spent and it is much less expensive than many of these devices I have seen.

Now I have a grandson, 17 years old, who is having problems staying focused on his German lessons and British Literature assignments,...I wonder......????

Buy PetSafe Deluxe Little-Dog Remote Trainer for Pets Under 40 Pounds, PDLDT-305 Now

We have a 2.5 year old jack russell mix who weighs 25 pounds. Some of the behavioral problems we have with her are whining for no reason, barking at every little thing that moves outside, jumping on people, and not understanding the boundaries of our yard. (We normally have her tied up if she is outside or take her on a leash, but sometimes it's nice to have her loose in the yard if she would stay there).

It took us a little bit to get used to the sensitivity (or lack thereof) of the buttons on the remote. You have to push them in all the way for them to do what they are supposed to; otherwise, the light on the remote may light up, but nothing happens. We maybe use the electric button twice a week. After the first time or two, she understood what the beep meant. Now, when she hears the beep, she immediately stops what she's doing 99% of the time. The other 1%, the beep will get followed by the electric button. Definitely read the directions; you do not need to hurt your dog to get a response. Our dog will actually freeze in confusion, which is how we now she felt the shock. She doesn't yelp or jump. Once she processes it, she comes out of her freeze mode and goes completely back to normal, but she stops whatever it was that she had been doing.We also find that it's helpful to combine a verbal command with the beep, such as "Stop." She's a little slower to catch on to it, but she's starting to understand that Stop and the beep are the same thing. Hopefully, in time, we will get to a point where the collar is no longer needed at all. The barking and whining have decreased significantly. We have been using the collar for 2-3 months, but we just started taking her out in the yard once in awhile without a leash last week. She is doing amazing! The neighbors have even commented on how well behaved she is getting. It took a few beeps and shocks, but she is doing great at not leaving the yard.

I think there are a couple of things to remember about the collar. First of all, it's not a replacement for good dog training or spending time working with your dog. It's a tool to aid in the training. By itself, it is not going to transform your dog...it will take time, work, and patience. Second, as I mentioned, you don't have to hurt your dog for it to get the message. I saw someone once who shocked their lab so badly, it squealed in pain...and the only thing the dog had done was approached another person in a very friendly manner. All that did was teach the dog to be afraid of approaching strange people. Level 6 on this collar is the lowest level our dog responds to, so we always have it at 6. Once in awhile, if the collar is situated oddly, she doesn't feel 6, so we will turn it up at the moment we are using it until she goes into freeze mode. Then, as soon as that instance is over, it goes back to 6. Use the lowest level you can to get a response.

I am only rating this a 4 because of the batteries they do die frequently as we often forget to turn the collar off when we leave, but we just replace them. It's a little costly after awhile, but we have found the benefits to outweight the monetary cost.

This collar worked well for our dog for several months, but then the wire antenna inside the collar broke off where it attaches to the receiver. We tried soldering it back on, but it broke again. It is just a bad design, not meant to last. it only works within about 10 feet without the antenna, and our dog figured this out.

We just bought one of the Innotek units after a friend highly recommended it no antenna to break, and is rechargeable.

This product was a god send. It arrived super fast. It has really worked fantastic. My dog is a full grown dog and boy is he stuborn. He only took less than a week before he started obeying commands (not too bad for a full grown hard headed dog huh). I would recommend getting this collar and espically from this shipper and seller. Because it was here so fast and in perfect condition.

Easy Walk Harness - Medium, Deep Purple

I have used these harnesses for both of my dogs for several years. I did finally replace one after about 4 years of daily use (about 3 miles a day + some hiking) because part of one of the fasteners did break off. It actually still held together but I figured I had gotten my money's worth out of it! The other harness is still going strong after 5 years.

I have a 40 lb. high energy dog and an 80 lb. muscular type dog. The larger dog will pull if the leash is attached to his regular collar, but walks well with this harness. The harnesses are adjustable for different build dogs and once you get it to fit properly, no further adjustment is necessary. We once dog-sat a 100 lb Lab puppy for a weekend. Even my husband had a difficult time walking him. We purchased one of these harnesses fo the dog and walks were very managable immediately. Great product!

As a former dog trainer, I would recommend this harness to anyone that has a difficult time walking their dog. I have one for both of my dogs and walking them together is so much easier. You could use a head halter, but those are hit or miss and some dogs just don't respond to them at all. With the easy walk harness, your lead connection is at their center of gravity, so when they decide to try and pull away from you, the harness gives them no choice but to be pulled back towards you. Highly recommended. Highly effective and worth the cost.

Buy Easy Walk Harness - Medium, Deep Purple Now

I love this harness best after having used 3 different brands with my dog. It's so easy to put on and does not cause my dog discomfort. This is my second of this brand. The first one I had lasted about 3 months before the nylon broke along the edge of one of the front strap adjusters. I don't believe my dog chewed it since I don't leave the harness on her when we aren't out for a walk. I think it was the adjuster that caused the tear in the nylon, so I think the material could be more durable. The only other thing I would like to see changed is an addition of a hook on the back of the walker. I have a trailer for my bicycle which has a "seat belt" that you fasten to the dog's back harness. So I have to have two harnesses when I could have just one. Otherwise, I definitely recommend this product.

Our golden retriever puppy pulled on the leash constantly. We tried a StarMark Collar (recommended by the Monks of New Skete), but it made no difference.

I talked with Martina Contreras, a dog behaviorist, about the problem. She recommended the Premier Easy Walk Dog Harness (Amazon product number B0009ZBKG4). It instantly and dramatically reduced the amount and force of pulling on the leash. When we first got the Premier Harness, our dog did not like it, but after two days, when we say "walk," she runs to the harness and sits for us to put it on. We did not train our pup to do this; she just likes the harness.

It took me a few tries of putting the harness on wrong before I understood a simple way to put the harness on easily, so now it goes on in a snap. I recommend the Premier harness for any owner with a dog that pulls.

I just got this yesterday and haven't had a chance to test it during any extreme lunging yet, but it definitely minimizes the pulling I feel as opposed to other style harnesses that give the dog more leverage. It's not the miracle harness I was hoping for since it does slip around to the side a little rather than turning her around when she pulls, but like I said still the most effective thing I've found so far.

Anyway, my dog measured 24" around the chest and I went with the Medium but she has very broad chest (where it clips) and there is very little adjustment in that region, so I probably should have gone with the Tweener size M/L. I couldn't say for sure, but customers having issue with underarm rubbing could be due to incorrect adjustments. It's hard to get this product just right.

Nice quality materials and manufacturing as I've always found with Premier.

Dog Rocks to Prevent Lawn Burn Patches

We were landscaping our backyard and made the last minute decision to install sod over artificial turf. Our landscaper told us about this product, so we purchased and tried for a month (using our front lawn as a guinea pig) and we were pleasantly surprised that it did work! We have 2 60lb English Bulldogs (a girl and a boy) and used two rocks in their main water bowl for about 5 weeks. They are picky/sensitive dogs and have had no physical reactions after use or seemed to notice the rocks. The new sod is in and there are no dry spots or patches we're thrilled and will be ordering again.

Update: while rocks were to be effective for weeks, we found that they needed changing more than package stated.

We have a malamute, and she was causing some problems with the lawn. I read several reviews on many different products, but thought that this item would be

the safest for our dog. I was pleasantly surprised, that these rocks in her water, really do work, our lawn looks great, though it took a few weeks to show

an improvement. I would recommend this product!

Cooper didn't even notice a change in how the water tasted pretty simple solution.

I have not bought this product nor would I but it is amazing to me that people would worry more about the product working than the harm it may cause their dogs. Anything that would alter the nitrogen, ph or salt in a dogs urine would kill the dog. Dogs produce "waste" for a reason. Altering its output can be dangerous to the dog's health. I serously doubt this product changes the urine output of a dog, but if it does, it is dangerous. The best thing to do for a lawn is to dilute the urine by watering the area OR do what I do....create a designated dog area (with sand or pea gravel surrounded by a low wall or decorative edging) and train your dogs to go in that area only. it takes just a few days to weeks to train a dog to use the designated area. My dogs will actually get out of the pool, or stop playing, run across the yard and use the designated dog area to go potty. This way, I don't have to worry about stepping in land mines in the grass and people can walk barefoot in the grass without concern. The designated area is also easier to clean up. I spray it down once a month with an enzyme product that has live microbes that break down the bacteria.

Be an advocate for your dog and do research before buying such a product.

**UPDATE** OCTOBER 10, 2012

I have requested and just finally received the so-called test results from this company in the UK. Apparently the US branch of this company does not reply to emails so I reached out to the parent company in the UK and finally received "data". I received this info AFTER I was told that they needed to speak to me by telephone prior, to explain the results. It was not until I assured them, that being an engineer, I was capable of comprehending such data. Nonetheless, the results claimed by this company are neither scientific nor valid by any standards.

I stand by my original opinion: This product does not work; if it did, it would be harmful to dogs.

The information I received was one page of a three page urine test for ONE dog, Max. (The company representative `claims' that Max has been using dog rocks for over 12 years). Where are the other 2 pages? I also received a one page blood test for the same dog, Max.

Neither of this information is useful in any way. This company seems to imply that pH is responsible for lawn "burn" however it is the nitrogen and the salt in urine that causes the burn, not urine pH.

They also sent me water test results showing pH of water with and without dog rocks. Again, useless data considering that drinking water pH has no effect on urine pH.

They also sent "results" regarding the percentage of owners reporting effectiveness using real and placebo rocks. I am sorry if I am a skeptic but I am not accustomed to just taking a company's word for something especially since this company has a financial stake in the consumer accepting such information.

Partial urine test results and blood work from one dog do not constitute valid scientific proof that dog rocks are safe.

Where is the study data showing urine and blood test results from a control and placebo group of dogs?

Ph does not affect the grass. It is nitrogen and salt. Where is the data showing this info?

Since it is the nitrogen and salts that causes grass to "burn". Altering the nitrogen or salt output of a dogs urine would likely kill the dog.

Unless they can prove otherwise with scientific proof 1) the product is not harmful, 2) the product works...then I stand by my opinion:

This product either doesn't work, if it does work then it is dangerous to the dog.

I have no agenda or stake in this company. I am simply tired of no oversight for pet products. The US FDA has issued numerous warnings regarding chicken jerky that is currently sold in many popular stores yet nothing is being done to ensure the safety and health of our pets.

I hope that this is a wake up call for pet owners to be an advocate for your pet. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

These work very well. I have a new lawn and didn't like the "dog spots" that were starting. I had used this product in the past and it amazes me that it works so well with rocks in my dog's water bowl. So when I re-purchased the rocks it took a week or so for them to start working but now no more spots. Thanks for this good product, oh and also it does not harm my beautiful, funny Corgi.

Pet n' Place Portable Pet Management System, Large Paw, Red

I was so excited when this got here! I filled the base with sand and clipped my cocker to it and went about planting my garden. I looked over at him about 15 minutes later and he was wrapped around the base over and over and OVER again! Augh! I finally unclipped him and put him back on his cable. It might work for bigger and taller dogs but for my cocker, the base is too tall. The theory is good but the base needs to be much lower for small to medium dogs so they don't get wrapped around it. Save your money if you have a less than large dog.

We needed a way to keep our 7-pound poodle from getting up on the back of furniture while we were out of the house.

He broke a leg jumping off the back of the couch to greet us at the door, and we didn't want a repeat.

We also didn't want to crate him, since the high furniture was his only restriction.

This has worked perfectly.

We filled it with Ziplocks of sand, attached the included leash to his harness, and hey presto, a dog with a limited range.

We put the paw against the wall, and he can east, drink, sleep, and even play while limited on his range. No crates, no gates, no pens.

We took it with us to visit family, and we can keep him in one room, again without closing the door or crating him.

The thick leash has clips on both ends, and is far too wide and stiff to be a strangulation hazard.

This works much better than tying him to furniture he might tip over or knock things off of, or locking him in a room devoid of high places.

It is very well made, attractive, and does exactly what it says it will.

This product has worked great for my needs. I have been using it in an office environment to make sure my 10-pound Dachshund/Chihuahua mix doesn't roam the hallways. I don't have that much weight in it so he could probably pull it around if he wanted to, but it provides just enough resistance to keep him in place. And since you control the amount of weight, you can make it as light or as heavy as you want.

The Good: 1. It seems very well made. My little guy obviously isn't going to do too much damage, but it seems sturdy enough for even a strong dog. The leash and bag are both heavy duty fabric that look fairly chew-resistant and the clips are heavy metal. The place where the leash attaches to the bag also seems very strong 2. The carrying straps. With these, you can kind of use the system as a leash, so if you want to move the dog and the bag simultaneously you don't have to unclip it. 3. The size seems adequate. It's big enough to put quite a bit of stuff in it but still small enough to carry around easily.

The Bad: None of these have been a huge issue for me, but I could see them being problematic for other users. 1. Buy the minimum size you can for your dog. I have a tiny dog but I got the large paw. The leash is way too big and sturdy for my needs and I feel bad making him wear such a heavy leash (although it doesn't seem to bother him), so I would recommend this size only for larger dogs. 2. The leash isn't very long. Since I'm using it in a small cubicle it's fine, but if you wanted to give your dog room to roam, you would probably need to hook it up to a couple more leashes. 3. The opening. The opening where you put the weights in is a Velcro hole in the top of the paw and I think it would be better with a big zipper. The hole isn't very intuitive and it's small enough that it would be a hassle to put large objects in it, whereas with a zipper the whole thing could open up really wide.

The Bottom Line: This is a good product at a good value. Definitely recommended, just make sure to take your dog's size into account when you choose which shape to buy. (This one is an option)

ATC SHOCK +VIBRATE REMOTE SMALL LITTLE DOG TRAINING COLLAR

This product surprised me! I gave it 3 stars because ive only been using it 2 days and am not sure of the battery life, however it only uses 2 AAA batteries in the collar, so its cheap to replace. I used the tone button first then if my dog won't respond (she likes to run out of our yard) then i hit vibrate. Thats all that is needed for our 12pound mutt. The shock is a bit much for her size, but it comes with 2 different sized prong sets, so if your dog has thick fur it still works great. I have used it on our boxer, who just happens to be the perfect size to steal food off the table, and the vibrate got a response, but the shock was needed for her and didn't seem to hurt her. Just confused her a bit till she noticed she would be shocked if she didn't listen to "NO!" and then a tone. Great for the price and got free shipping so im very happy. Don't recomend for dogs larger than 50 pounds, may not be enough to get them to respond. Very happy with the range. Worked well even when my small dog got to the other side of the neighbors yard, and our yards are large, she was in direct line of sight though, don't know if that matters.

I purchased this collar for my 9 lbs dog. I thought it was an appropriate size for him but turns out it is way too big. I don't like the battery part of this collar because when not using it, you have to take the battery out by unscrewing the contacts, otherwise it will stay on. Also, when delivering a stimulation, either a shock or vibrate, you have no control over the length of the stimulus. It goes for about a second and half or so, which is too long for my liking. I would not recomend this collar for a dog smaller than 20 lbs. I have experience with other collars that are rechargable and you can control the length and strength of the stimulus.

Product perfect and works well for the price. My Pomeranian was a wondered and this remote trainer brought him right under control. I only ever had to low shock him one time and the rest I use vibrate. I am able to take him on off leash walks with my other two dogs and he is just as well mannered and behaved as they are. What a pleasure. I don't think it is waterproof, but he has jumped in ponds a couple of times and it still works just fine. I am at the point know that he just needs to wear the collar and is voice controlled. I am SO pleased. The collar is a little big, but I was able to rig it to fit. Luckily my pom is a large pom.

I got this knowing it wasn't a top of the line one, and it actually exceeded my expectations. It does the job, and we rarely need to use the shock button. We got it for our small dog who barks and jumps, and we just followed th recommendations of sing verbal commands, then pushing vibrate first then shock. Now, not only does vibrate work wonders with him, he seems to almost stop and think when he has the collar on and barks far less. One thing to remember is to make sure you sync them after you put fresh batteries in, or it won't work until you do. I forgot to do this once and their customer service was very good and helped me out. Also, one reviewer had said that you can't turn the collar off, but it does sort of go to sleep, and turns back on when moved, so that has not been a problem. I would highly recommend this collar!

It was easy to order and easy to hook up and use. I have had problems with keeping the batteries up. It goes through batteries pretty fast if it is used constantly. It does the job I want it to do, calm down the dog and stop it from barking. I would recommend it.

I love my second potty patch. It came in the mail within 3days . I got a second one so I have one ready for the next time. After rinsing with dawn soap and scrubbing I let it soak over night with a solution called 256; It'd concentrate so I use just a little bit and water. Its used by most vet clinics to discinfect.

PoochPad Pet Training Pad

After years of using the disposable pads, I switched to these and have been using them for a couple of months now. I have a 5 year old, 6 pound Yorkie, who is trained to go indoors on the pads. It bugged me every time I threw a disposable pad away so bad for the environment! To transition him, I put a pooch pad under the disposable for a couple of days, then I put it on top for a couple of days, and then I took the disposable away. No problems at all! Also, he seems to hit the pad better (I think the writing on it helps them see it better) and the pad really helps cut down on the odor. I kind of wish I had bought the large ones as he pees quite frequently. I bought two 2-packs and wash three at a time about every two or three days. I wash them according to the instructions on the package and they seem to be holding up just fine.

These pads are a good value for the money because you can wash them again and again and get a lot of use out of them. Another customer suggested having at least two so that there's always a spare on hand when one becomes soiled and I fully agree. I've found that these pads do hold a lot of liquid, but I use them with the Richell 94529 Paw Trax Pet Training Tray to protect my floors. The small pooch pads fit perfectly in this tray, despite being made by separate companies. I would recommend this setup for dogs under 20 lbs. After a few washings, I've noticed that the coloring has faded on the pooch pads but this does not affect their use. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought these after training our Miniature Dachshund puppy to use wee wee pads indoors. We live in a climate that is always raining and we get lots of snow in a very long winter and felt it would be better to just have her be an indoor dog rather than fight getting her to go outside. I was having a lot of guilt throwing away the disposable pads all the time. She adjusted to them really easily. We use these with a tray, although they have never leaked, the tray keeps them in place. I have 6 and she soils about 2 a day, so we are able to keep on it a bit easier. She has been using these for about a year and they have held up great, I do line dry them though to hopefully have them last a little longer. They are more expensive than the disposables, however, I don't feel the guilt anymore at unnecessarily adding to the local landfill. I would recommend these to anyone with a dog that either is trained to go indoors or for dogs that need a back up plan when they can't make it outside. It is an excellent product I plan to repurchase when and if these ones ever wear out.

After dealing with shredded potty pads that were too thin and leaked urine everywhere, I decided to try these pads. I was hesitant to get a washable pad, despite the fact its better on our environment, due to the concept of urine in my washing machine, but it hasn't been a problem at all.

The pads can hold quite a bit of urine and reduce the smell, but they are not perfect. Over time, the moisture can sort of condensate, for lack of a better word, and cause moisture to build up underneath them. I noticed that my carpets felt damp and smelled like urine.

To fix this, I purchased a washing machine tray in the same dimensions to place underneath the pads, and it worked gloriously. I now no longer have issues with my carpets getting urine in them and if there are any "misses" on the edges, the tray will pool the urine for easy clean-up. If you purchase these, I highly recommend purchasing a washing machine tray as an accessory.

These are the trays I purchased from Amazon. Camco 20752 30-Inch by 32-Inch Washing Machine Pan, White

I've always used the regular disposable paper weewee pads, until I came across these doing a search for quality puppy pads. I have an 8lb dog and even with 3 walks a day he still uses a weewee pad 3x a day. At first I thought it was all about saving money, (and maybe being kind to the environment), but after some calculating, the savings aren't that much. I was buying my disposables at a good price, working out to about 20-25 cents a pad, 1 a day, that's about $75 a year, not terrible. 4 of these washable pads, plus 1 50-pack of disposables (to keep on hand when randomly necessary) would cost about that much anyway, so there are no savings (for me at least) in first year. And the savings for me over 4 years is only about $150.

BUT!! that's not what I love about them. Hard though my pup tries to go in the right place, sometimes he'll just be a little close to the edge of the regular paper pads and then there's a bunch of pee on my hardwood floor that seeps underneath the paper pad with plastic backing. Yuck. That's been going on for 9 months (which is how long i've had my pup). Well, I bought a pack of 2 of these pads 6 weeks ago (then bought another 2 pack) and have not had one bit of weewee on the floor since. Not only *that*! But these somehow absorb the smell much much better, Woohoo! When he has 3 walks a day I can leave the poochpad down for sometimes 2 days before changing it. I even left one pad down for 2 days once and after he let go this huge pee i thought for sure there would be something coming through the bottom of the pad, but nope, nothing. I also think they look a bit nicer than regular pads as they sit in the corner.

Re: washing. After 1 is ready to be changed i spray enzyme spray on it, run the shower over it for 30 seconds, and the pee is pretty much gone! I squeeze it out and line dry it, and it's perfect and ready to go again! So with just 4, I don't see myself every having some not available. Also, having them rinsed out means i can put them in my normal wash b/c there's really barely anything in the pad. (plus this way there's not a bunch of pee filled pads milling around in your house. After a normal wash, i feel like they are almost totally scent free, very impressive. I get the 20 x 27 inch medium for my 8lb dog.

So while I'll still have some disposables on hand for those random times (dog @ mom's house, pads all due for a wash, etc) I plan on using Poochpads from now on. : ). I will update if anything changes. (already updated this review 9/1/11)

3/24/12: Still love 'em. Now that i have less time i'm using paper pads at times, but i put them over the Poochpad. : ). So happy with these poochpads.

Pet Safe RFA-67D 6-Volt Battery, Economy, 6-Pack, 12 Batteries

I'm just leaving this review to warn others that this price doesn't make any sense. At the time of this writing, this battery 12-pack is going for $44.40, or a cost of $3.70 per battery.

The 2 pack is $6.50, or $3.25 per battery, so you'd actually pay significantly MORE by getting the 12 pack.

The 4 pack is $12.91 for a per battery cost of $3.23, BUT right now the 4-pack is not eligible for Amazon Prime.

The 8-pack price is $24.95, for a per-battery cost of $3.12 per battery -that's the best value right now, but only by 13 cents per battery vs. the 2-pack.

I hope this helps!

I had a few packs of these and they just don't last. If you Dremel the battery module you can replace the batteries inside yourself. Amazon sells 100 packs of CR2032 batteries for 1/2 the price as these. I've made a YouTube video detailing the process. Search for "Replace batteries inside of a PetSafe battery module yourself"

Sunbeam Advanced Remote Trainer-Static for Dogs

We just adopted a puggle from the humane society about a month ago and her barking when outside was driving me and our neighbors nuts. I bought this at Pet Smart because truthfully I couldn't wait for Amazon to deliver. It has worked well so far. I had to the replace the batteries pretty quickly after getting it but I have no idea how long it was on the shelf and they were cheap batteries anyway. I also had to super glue the snap that keeps the collar on because it broke but now I hardly have to use the collar at all. My dog rarely barks when she is outside and I have not heard any more complaints from the neighbors. I recommend this product because despite the batteries and the latch it has worked great.

My dog is fear aggressive. She lunges and barks aggressively at other dogs and people, bike riders and scooters. I walk her with a prong collar, head halter and muzzle. She is a lab/border collie. Since using this collar, I no longer need the prong collar or the head halter. I do use the muzzle just in case. She is a different dog now. She can mingle with other dogs (on leash) and meet new people calmly now. She no longer shows any aggression. This collar has a warning sound that you can use and three levels of shock. I use level one. I have only shocked her a total of four times and now she responds with just the warning sound. I only use this collar when out for walks and if anyone comes over to the house. This collar is helping her to come out of her fearfulness. You do have to turn off the collar and the remote when done wearing it. The lights on the collar flash every 5 seconds to indicate it is on. Just follow the instructions and they are very clear about turning it off so the batteries don't drain. This collar is an excellent training tool.

Flexi Classic Lead 16-Feet Medium Cord for Dogs, Pink

This is my 4th flexi lead, each of previous lasted through 7 years of abuse. This one is prettier but looks just a sturdy, working great (as expected)

I bought this leash shortly after I brought home my then 6 week old puppy. We've walked her on it without event for 7 months. It was easy to stop and lock, and easy to unlock again for places where she could wander around a bit more. I enjoyed the variety and felt it was safe.

Today, 7 months after purchase, the leash broke and my dog continued walking, into traffic. This leash was not chewed on or driven over, or abused in any way. It is meant to restrain an up to 44 pound dog, and my dog is 24 pounds. It's got no excuse. The cord released itself from the end of the pink ribbon lead.

I've owned Flexi leads in the past and not had trouble, but this will definitely be my last Flexi lead. I don't know if the manufacturing process has changed or not, but I'm not risking it. By the way, be sure to hold on to your original receipt, as this is the only way to get customer service on a broken lead.
