Sporn Pet Halter, Medium, Black

Okay, this does work. I read other reviews and I have to agree, if your dog pushes off with their front paws, then this will help a lot! She still tries to forge ahead, but she no longer is pulling my arm forward. So I don't feel like I need a chiropractic adjustment after my walks. It is a bit of a drag to get the thing on, but once you have them in it, you're good to go for a pleasant walk. And you will get faster at getting them in it. My dog is only 30 pounds, and the collar looks really thick, but she is comfortable in it. I recommend this product! It worked for me!

I own a Westie and he loves his walks, but I used to hate them because he was constantly choking himself pulling and I was constantly yelling at him to stop. Not any more!!! Walks are now a joy for both of us. As soon as there is a little bit of pressure from the Sporn he eases up. I highly recommend this product.

I have always used the Sporn collar for my Cavaliers. It takes the pressure off of their throat especially when they decide to pull.

Exclusively Pet Best Buddy Bones

My golden puppy loves cheese flavored crackers. These are comparable to other brands I've purchased and fit great in both her original Kong and the square Kong ball.

My three dogs just love these treats and can go through a bag very quickly! They are a little pricey, but they are worth it for my furry children!

The seller is great. I received them in a timely manner. They shipped when they said they would. I think these are great treats. They smell fresh. The are crunchy treats. There not too hard and not too soft. My dog (Lucy) likes them but it's not her favorite. She doesn't get too excited about them, but she does eat them. That's why I didn't give them 5 stars.

PetSafe Deluxe In-Ground Fence, PRF-304W

We have 3 acres and the fence works great so far. I have learned a couple of things that I want to share. First, the installation manual says you can only twist the wire (to cancel the signal when getting from the boundary to the house) a total of 50 feet. Since my boundary is 160 feet from the house, this was a real problem. After 3 calls to PetSafe, it appears that exceeding the 50 foot limit will cause 'hot spots' or 'inconsistency' along the twisted section. My solution, which I verified with PetSafe, is to run the wire in metal conduit from the boundary to the house. This worked great, I didn't have to twist the wire, and it also kept the silly dog from digging up the wire near the house, it's protected in the conduit. I used 1/2 metal conduit, ~$2.80 for a 10 ft section. Don't worry about buying the metal connectors (they cost nearly as much as the sections), just use cheap PVC or anything to keep the sections lined up as you lay them in (do be careful not to knick the wires).

So far, the collar appears to be waterproof, the dog hops in the pool several time a day.

As for training, I recommend following the PetSafe guide closely those first two weeks. My dog has been shocked a total of 5 times over 3 or 4 days and wants no part of the flags, even though his favorite digging spot was in the (now protected) flower bed. He's been within the fence for about a month now.

My dog is ~60 lbs, about 9 months old, and is a very active lab/boxer mix that loves to run.

There is much peace of mind now, the dog doesn't get yelled at for leaving the yard, and we are happy campers. Now, if I can just keep him from shredding aluminum cans and digging holes in the yard....

**UPDATE after almost 2 years (May 2010)**

Lightning zonked the base station, but PetSafe replaced it for $35, which I found reasonable. The dog hits the pool about 20 times a day and I was getting a little moisture in the collar. I bought a little tub of 'pool grease' at the pool supply store and when I change the battery I just smear some on the threads and o-ring. The dog is now 70 lbs and 2.5 years old and greatly respects the fence, even if his nemesis 'the squirrel' taunts him on the other side. With the metal conduit approach mentioned above, I plan to now easily extend another loop around a different flowerbed.

We were expecting some issues based on the reviews, but actually now that ours is installed and the dog is trained, we have to say we're happy-it installed on the first try and works as advertised.

The video CD instructions included installation and training beyond the detail the written manual. Both are adequate.

The only negative surprise is once we read the instructions it indicated the unit should be grounded to guard against lightening strikesso they recommend connecting a wire to the house ground rod or burying a new one 3 feet deep. Not a big deal if you locate the unit near your house grounding rod. They also recommend locating the transmitter 3 feet from any large metal objects in your garageie. the metal garage door, washer, hot water tanks, or electrical breaker box. (We did 2 feet and it seems to work fine)

We rented an edger to bury 1700 feet of wire around 2 acres (3 extra wire kits were purchased), and used a paint stick stirrer to push the wire in about 3". The edger worked pretty well, assuming I ran it twice over the cut to get the full depth. This process took a full day.

The unit has an adjustable range knob it changes the distance to when the collar picks up this signal from the wire.

Our 7 month lab was fairly easy to trainstarting at the low setting (of 5 levels, the lowest being beep only) on the collar and working up until he noticed it. Took about 2 weeks, and he respects the boundary, but without fear or emotional scars (best we can tell!)

One pleasant surprise: The collar will beep first as the dog nears the fence, and if he gets closer, then it zaps him. This was not clear to us from the instructions or the box.

Overall very happy with this unit.

The fence transmitter and receiver collar work just as well as the expensive ones that the pet containment companies would like to sell you. But watch out for the light guage antenna wire that comes with this kit. I've had 3 problems with the wire:

Stapling the twisted pairs to the side of my house the flat staples cut right through the insulation and shorted the antenna loop. Took a while to track that down.

Easy to break. Above ground stretches of the wire (along a fence) have broken twice.

Apparent high impedance the transmitter chirps intermittently because it thinks there's a break in the wire when there isn't. I suspect this is just the impedance from 1000 feet of tiny wire.

I plan to buy a roll of heavier wire at the hardware store and replace the antenna entirely.

Follow Up (Dec 2009): I found 14 ga solid core copper wire at the local home center for a reasonable price, and used it to replace the wire that came with kit. That seemed to fix the problem. I later had to buy a new transmitter after a lightning strike fried the original, but I know from experience that the this happens to the expensive dog fences just as often.

I started with the PETSafe PIF-300 wireless fence, but to maximize the yard space for Miles, my 85lb chocolate lab, I was half in both neighbors yards, so the traditional in-ground fence made more sense as I could choose the extreme boundaries on all sides of the yard.

I bought a second hand 1/2 hp edger to dig the trench which did a great job. Laid out the boundary line and used a paint stick to tuck in in the trench. My two boys helped cover the trench by doing a congo-line along the rift twisting their feet as they walked. Lots of fun. Ran a line from the side yard nearest the garage and used a power drill to twist the wire. Plugged them into the unit and it was good to go. Very easy installation, but requires a little patience to tuck 500 feet of wire into a trench.

We set the collar on beep only first, walked Miles around the perimeter marked with flags, and gave him a treat each time he came back into the safe zone. Did this many many times. Then increased the static correction level on it's lowest setting. He seemed completely unaffected by it. I tried it on my leg. Not much to write home about, but I'm sure works for a smaller dog. So, I increased the level to 3 (flashes). Better, but we finally settled on 4 before Miles even had a reaction to it. This is good because no matter what size your dog is, you can adjust this to your needs. Again, I tried it through my jeans on my leg. It was enough to get my attention, but was not inhumane or painful. Within a couple of hours, Miles had figured out the flags and beeps went together and he stayed in the yard.

Over the next couple of days, Miles only got outside the boundary twice. We figured out the collar was too loose and wasn't making contact. A little slack taken up, and he's not even tried to get out since. Miles loves the new arrangement. At the old house he had the backyard to himself with a chain-link fence. He paced paths, barked at everyone walking the neighborhood, and seemed anxious. With the in-ground fence going from the front curb to the boundary of the backyard, he has total access to everything which he loves. He just lays in the front yard during the day and watches people, cars, and dogs walk by without a bark. I guess the distance between the front and back with the chain-link was just too much for him, but now he's really happy.

I would highly recommend this product and intend to install new wire should we move again and take the unit with us. Money very well spent. Note: If you don't have close neighbors, the wireless option is very cool, just keep in mind the shape of your yard and how large a diameter circle you want to work with. Wired is great in that you can exclude flower beds or other areas of your yard like a garden that you might not want the dog getting into.

Our dog has a great time running free of any leashes. But, I want to give everyone a head's up. Our 1000 ft. of wire did not last two years. The kit comes with 20 gauge solid wire. Turns out, the instructions say strand wire is better. Also, when I called the company, they told me the unit could be used with 14 gauge which is much thicker. We like the system well enough that we bought 1000 ft. of 14 gauge strand wire from Home Depot. We had to pull up all the old wire first, and bury the new wire. Had we have known this, we would have upgraded from the start. Upgrade was only about $25 more. Hope this helps someone out. Also, the company is extremely helpful with trouble shooting.

Easy Walk Harness - Small, Raspberry Pink

I have a 60 lb American staffordshire pit mix that I could not walk to safe my life. But when I put the easy walk harness on him, 1. It was easy to get on and 2. He didn't pull me at all! With the leash hook being in the front it makes him walk right beside me instead of way in front pulling me. Walking is a breeze now! I highly recommend it.

This harness is great. I have two small dogs that like to try and ate the lead on walks. This harness prevents them from doing that and since the clasp is in the front there is no strain on their tiny necks and backs.

I graduated my dog from the head harness to this one that connects at the chest.

Solid Gold Tiny Tots 10 Oz

We have been buying these treats in a pet store in Houston and could only get them when we traveled there. It was nice to find them on line. The dogs love them. They are soft and easy for them to chew.

I like these treats because they are soft so you can break them into teeny tiny bits if you like. They also absorb liquids somewhat so if you need to put a few drops of something on it you can easily do that. My dog thinks they're fantastic but then she eats just about anything. Best of all, they have none of the usual allergy offenders like corn, wheat, and chicken..

No Barking Anti Bark Dog Shock Control Collar

It came with a battery and the packaging was plain, but the quality exceeded the packaging. very happy with this product.Well worth it.

This thing rocks!!! My dog had it on for 1 hour before she tested it's limits. After that, we took it off and now we only have to show it to her (most of the time) and she stops. We have had the Anti Bark for 3 weeks now and only had to put it back on 2 times. I Highly recommend this to anyone. It is worth more than the price and shipping combined.

It works, but I have more than one dog. It's only the one barks excessively, so I bought this collar for him. The only problem is that when they wrestle, or if one of the other dog barks, it shocks the dog with the bark collar on. I wish it worked more on vocal cord vibrations than on random noises. I could clap my hands, and it would shock the dog. That doesn't work for me.

Mailed to me promptly but first did not work. I just ignored it and over a week later, I was at Lowes for something else when I saw the battery and got one. And since then it worked perfectly.

Mr recommendation to the seller is to try mailing it out with a new battery so that buyers dont go buying battery after purchasing the product.

Garmin DC 40 GPS Dog Tracking Collar

• Compatible with Garmin Astro 220 (sold separately)
• Combines a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and a VHF antenna, all in one small, rugged, waterproof transmitter
• Transmitter connects to any standard 1-inch dog collar, however, a durable, high-visibility orange polyurethane collar is included
• Dog position updates every 5, 10, 30 or 120 seconds (seven mile range, depending on terrain)
• User replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery with 17 to 48 hour battery life depending on update rate

We don't hunt, which is what these collars are made for, but we have four big dogs and like to do long forest hikes with them off lead. They're great dogs and stay by our sides most of the time, but once in a while, they get distracted and disappear into the undergrowth to check out a stream. They are well trained and don't chase wildlife and normally are perfect hikers, but they're retrievers and sometimes they can't resist the siren call of a stream. The oldest one has twice gone down steep slopes she wasn't able to get her old hips back up again. She's strong as on ox on a flat trail and can go downhill with the best of them, but she's mostly a front paw drive dog now. The first time she disappeared, one of our other dogs showed us where she went towe couldn't find her on our own. The second time, we got a glimpse of her down the hill and were able to find her ourselves. With these collars, we won't ever be trying to figure out where Kelty decided to check out the stream and hope for a glimpse of her or wait for the other dogs to to take us to her.

The collars aren't cheap, but considering what it costs to keep a dog, it's a good investment. So far they have worked fantastic and we've had fun keeping track of how much further the young dogs walk up and down the trail around us. The collars are waterproof, and even after a long beach romp, there's no leakage. I would imagine they are great for hunters, but they're also good if you have a dog who mistakes itself for Magellan or other any other explorer.

I previously had two dc 30 collars and they worked fine but could not find any more so I ordered the new dc 40 and I have had no problems with it. It works just as well as the dc 30 collars. The only difference is the collar is orange and made of rubber and the old ones are made of nylon. Also the charger is a bit different. I'm not sure which is best both have good points. The nylon seems to be a tougher material where as the rubber one is more flexible and the hunter orange is very easy to see in the woods. I will buy another one when the need arrives. Update: I have had this collar for a year now and have had no problems with it. I hunt a lot and use these collars on every dog. I have 3 dogs and getting another in 2 months. I will be ordering another of these collars since they have proven to be reliable. Also the rubber ones are better since the nylons ones are starting to come apart at the ends. If you have any doubts about this product because of the few bad reviews just notice that they are not amazon verified!

Couldn't ask for a better system. I have used the DC-40 every day since I got it and haven't had a single problem. I'm constantly amazed at how well it works. All my hunting friends want one now. I got an extra collar when I ordered mine because when I go hunting with a friend they are usually the one that can't find their dog or catch it when we do find it. I let a friend borrow it Saturday and it saved the day. The dog we put it on took off over 3 miles through thick woods that had no roads or trails. We were able to go straight to the dog. Never lost signal with my extented range antenna.

Word is there is a DC-50 made but they are afraid to release it, because no one would purchase the non working DC-40's They better do something soon or they will loose the hunters who purchase from them. Don't waste your money on the DC-40 collar, you will have nothing but problems! That's our opinion.

Gentle Leader Headcollar 5/8" Nose Loop, Red, Large for Dogs 60-130 lbs.

When my husband died our 70 lb labradoodle became almost uncontrollable and very difficult for me to walk. I had heard about the gentle leader and figured it couldn't hurt and just might help. The first time I put it on he shook his head and tried to back out but quickly settled down and we started walking like we were in obedience competition. He stayed right by my side, I was in control and had my good dog back. The Gentle Leader is easy to use and easy on the dog.

Petmate Vari Kennel Ultra Fashion

I bought two of these carriers, size small, and they are perfect for a large cat. I love the peacock blue color and it is pretty darn close to what is pictured a rich blue very nice! I put rubber feet on one carrier so they can be stacked and not slide apart.

The only complaint I have about this carrier is that there is no rear vent as stated in the description; maybe there is a rear vent in the larger sizes? It didn't matter for my particular use, but a more accurate description is definitely needed for those to whom it does matter.

I ordered the Petmate Vari Kennel Deluxe fashion medium in blue/clay ($45.99) directly from Revival Animal Health and I'm thrilled with the product, service, and price. It came within 2 days of ordering via Fed-ex and their customer service is nice.

The kennel is study and made of heavy duty plastic. I like the wing nut fastners and sturdy, easy latch door. The color is a nice blue and it's not ugly or horribly plain like most kennels. My only complaint is the plastic handle on top of the carrier seems flimsy and I don't know how long it will last. The metal grate side vents are a little loose and slide back and forth (not a big problem). This should fit my adult Bichon Frise nicely with room to spare.

I also bought the 24"x18" Midwest fleece pad from Revival($10.49)and it fits the bottom of this kennel perfectly.

P.S. Shipping was cheaper with Revival directly ($8.99) than through Amazon and much faster (Fed-ex home).

Update: After 2 years the kennel has held up well, just a bit dusty. The handle hasn't fallen off and can support my 16lb dog when I carry it. My dog loves his "room".

I love the Petmate Kennels. We are hobby breeders and our dogs are trained to sleep in them at night. Overall the Vari Kennel Ultra gets a thumbs up. It's well built and a good value for the price. My one complaint is that they have a couple of bumps molded into the center of the bottom of the kennel. It is right in the area where the dog would sleep. When I received the first one, I thought perhaps it was a factory second. It almost looked like a molding for a handle which should not be on the bottom of the crate. I went to a neighborhood petmart where they had more of the kennels. Sure enough they had the same molding on the bottom center. The salesperson said that people just buy a cushion to cover it. That would be fine if I did not raise puppies. Till they are done teething they would probably eat a cushion a night! I called Petmate and mentioned it to them so I hope they took note of it. I think it saves them money to mold the top and bottom the same.

Anyone complaining about their dogs banging on the door and getting out, please check that the install is done properly, otherwise please consider training the dog.

I have been using 2 of these for almost 4 years now without any issue. My GSD is a working GSD ~85lbs and very strong and we never had any issue. While he was puppy he did try to bang the door as that was the only way to get attention but with proper training that was taken care of in few days. Now, one of the crate is kept at the end of my hallway and my dog loves to spend his own time in there whenever he needs some time away from humans :-) My other crate is in the car and we carry him everywhere in this crate. It helps keep the car clean and also the dog is secured.

This crate is quite well ventilated, lightweighted and sturdy, easy to assemble and disassemble , making it very easy to clean. After 4 years of regular use it still looks new (weekly cleaned).

I don't see any flaw in this product.

I have a 85lbs tan German Shepard and I needed something to put him in while in my pickup truck; and this fits the bill. For the price you are getting a well made product. I had search around for one of these in the normal big box stores and Petsmart. They where all way more expensive. I decided on this model because it can be placed in a airplane hold. The metal bars on the sides give you a little added sense of safety for your K9, the other models are plastic holes which could cause cuts on there inquisitive noses. It was easy to put together and I think it is made well. Amazon does a pretty good at packaging, its big and I thought this would be a problem with shipping, but not so much. So yes I would recommend this create, and I do so as a Police K9 handler.

Esky&#153 Rechargeable Wireless LCD digital Smart Electric Shock training collar Dog Pet System

I've been using this for a few weeks now and so far it's been working great. I prefer to have my dog walk off leash in the trails behind our house but my dog has been known to run off if he catches a scent or spots another dog from far away. So, this e-collar has been a great way to keep him at bay while still giving him the freedom to roam around away from me and sniff things to his delight. I love how the collar and remote are both rechargeable (it would've been nice if they provided two AC adapters I charge the remote one night and the next night I'll charge the collar). The waterproof design will come in handy when it rains

The remote does shut off after a few minutes without use. While walking, I'll check the remote every few minutes to make sure it's on and if not, press the mode button to wake it up. I wish the remote had one button for vibrate and another button for shock but instead, you have to cycle through the modes using the mode button. It's not hard to do since there are only four modes (shock, vibrate, chime and I'm not sure what the fourth one does...). So you just have to know what mode your remote is in and if you need to change it, you only have to press the mode button no more than 3 times (e.g. mine is usually on vibrate but sometimes I need to quickly change it to shock)

No real gripes about this item which is why I gave it 5 stars especially for the price. I wasn't about to spend $100 for an e-collar and this one does everything I need it to do

I have wonderful, sweet 5 month old pitbull. She is the perfect dog...well...almost. Her ONLY 2 flaws are the jumping and running to my neighbors yard. She's not aggressive in anyway and is super friendly with everyone. But I'm sick of her jumping. She jumps on people (bcuz she wants to kiss them or is curious with whatever you have in your hand, it was cute when she was little but she's growing soo fast), jumps on walls, jumps on my couch, jumps to see whats on the table, jumps to see whats on my counters and she starting to scratch up my cabinets :/. So I ordered this little device. I just got it today and it did say to charge the transimmiter as well as the receiver but I plugged it in for about 5 minutes each and slapped that collar on her. She kept going on my couch so I set the mode to vibrate and started at 10 (the intensity of the vibration can be increased or decreased, 1-100) I kept going up till she started to respond, I stopped at 50. She was very confused at first but eventually was starting to get it..."Every time I jump on this couch this stupid thing is going to drive me crazy". After 3 or 4 jumps on the couch she stopped. She would want to go on and I've caught her going for it but would stop and think about it and turn around. As for my cabinets, the same thing. I can tell she hates that little thing but I love it. I've tried everything and this is it. She just needs to feel a little uncomfortable and she learns quick. I tried the shocking setting on my forearm just to see how bad it was. At 8 you can feel it. I didn't bother going any higher. I don't plan on using the shock unless its some kind of emergency like shes running into the road and a car is coming and I need something to get her attention quick. I feel like the vibration is enough for her. There are 4 modes, Shock, Vibrate, Chime, and light. I used the charm to get her attention when I want her to come in the house. The light is only a little LED light inside of the receiver, I guess the only purpose it serves is if you press it you know that it's getting the signal without bothering your dog.

If I could rate it a 4-1/2 I would. The only thing that concerns me is how flimsy it feels. I feel like if I drop it (I've dropped both once already) it'll break (it hasn't broken yet :) ). When you take it out of the box and you hold it in your hand it feels like a toy. Another thing is that the transmitter shuts off after a few minutes. I wish it would turn on a little quicker for times when I need to get my pups attention quick.

Other than those two things this thing is great. If you have a dog that's at all like mine this will work like a charm for you. I'll update you if for some reason something goes wrong with this seeing as how I've only had it for 3 hours now. But so far it's been very effective. I hope this helps.

We have an 11 month old Beagle, who loves to bark (at nothing & everything) and was a bit defiant when we called him to come in at night. This collar has made a WORLD of difference! He use the beep or vibrate mode as a warning (if he's whining alot but not barking or not responding to the "come" command) & that usually gets his attention. If not a 1 second shock on level 25 gets him everytime. I don't think it really hurts him, just surprises him & let's him know we mean business.

PROS

1 It works & our dog responded with better behavior immediately!

2 I love that it's rechargeable, so I don't have to worry with batteries

CONS

The directions included stink!! But it's user friendly & you can easily figure it out on your own. The mode button turns it on, then changes it between shock, vibrate, beep, & light. The "Y" button on the right delivers the shock or vibrate. The intensity is controlled by the up/down button on the right side of the remote.

NOTEWORTHY-the vibrate & shock mode both have intensity levels. We didn't know that for the 1st few days & thought the vibrate mode didn't work, it does work we just had it on 0...oops.

I am pretty happy with this collar. I have it on my blue heeler who is half demon and the shock stops him in his tracks every time. The shock setting goes up to 100 so dont be afraid to turn it up. The vibration and beep settings are pretty worthless on him but may be effective on a smaller dog that is not as tough/evil lol. He's only a 30-40 lb dog but he would walk me and with this collar he is doing awesome! The rechargable setting is pretty cool so I dont have to go out and keep buying batteries for it. This dog absolutely loves the water and the collar still works so far. It does have two frequencies to set it too for the wireless remote. So far I'd recommend this collar.

2-Piece Dog Crate Cover and Bed Set

My little fella loves his crate cover. He already loves to snuggle up in his crate throughout the day. The cover helps block the light so he can sleep while we are doing things around the house. One note for cleaning it though...Don't put the cover in the dryer at all. It will shrink.

I was pretty surprised when I opened the box and there was no crate with it. I clearly didn't read the description very well lol. But before I returned it because I need the actual crate more than the pretty cover, I checked it out and love it. Its high quality and really pretty. I got a crate at Petco because I couldn't return this product (even though I spent twice what I want to... :)

This product looks exactly like the picture. I purchased this for a friend who uses it as a sleeping area for the cats. I paired it with the purple crate and it just make the place look happy. I plan on purchasing it for the larger crates in my home. I wish they would make covers for the TNR cat traps that would be so beautiful.

I do love this item, although I should have read the description more than looking at the picture. This item that comes will be PINK not PURPLE which is what I really wanted. But it still is a good product and my little Zoey loves it anyway. It is a nice cushion for the dog and the cover makes the crate look better than a crate just sitting there and offers privacy for the dog who loves it. Zoey on the other hand likes to see so we have put the cover away for later use.

I love this, and it fits great over the cage that I purchased. It's great

for a time out, and a cave for my three babies.

GoodPets Dog Fence System for 1 dog

I have a very large and stubborn giant schnauzer 8 month old puppy (who weighs about 90 pounds) and this product works great! I was worried the stimulus wouldn't be strong enough to divert him but it worked great. Once he hears the beeps he stops and turns around. We have him in the back yard but were so frustrated with him because he wouldn't stay off of the porch and leave my furniture alone....enter the wireless pet fence, problem solved. We ran this fence around our patio as instructed and it works like a charm. He went from devil dog to angel at the flick of a switch. Now our evenings on the porch are very enjoyable! Only advice is to read the instructions first and be very careful with the thin wire when stringing it. Don't crimp it or else it will cause a lot of heart ache, once buried however the thin wire is not a concern at all.

Update to review after several days of use: it would be well worth your money to spend an extra $40 and make sure you get a rechargeable collar. the batteries cost $4 to $20 each on this collar, are not rechargeable and they do not make a rechargeable 6volt battery. The batteries go dead in about 3 days and then your dog will be right back to his antics unless you spend a small fortune on a stockpile of batteries.

I would not recommend anyone buying this product. We bought one, hooked it up and the transmitter did not work. WE had to pay an addition 16 dollars that we were told it 'was not company policy' just to return the first bad system. We waited a few more weeks, received a new system which also does NOT WORK. The transmitter is also faulty on the second one. So now we are out our original cost of 70 dollars plus the additional 16 we spent trying to get a system that actually worked. O and dont forget the little fact that the name of the system is "Wireless Fence System". Guess what? Its not WIRELESS. You have to run wire just to find out it doesnt work. Do not waste your money.

The collar was very effective but about a week or two later the battery died so we're still trying to find a replacement in the mean time the dog wanders around doing whatever she pleases.

Large 50" Pet Dog Play Pen Zipped Bottom Panel

Just a quick a note to help clarify that this item does have both zippered top (mesh) panel and zippered bottom (canvas) panel. Many reviews of similar products describe velcro used on the bottom. Perhaps this is a different item, or has been modified by the producers. So far my 8 month old has not figured out to chew or scratch through this, though she clearly could if given the inspiration and a few minutes of concerted effort! Having said that, I intend to monitor her in this very closely to be sure she understands it's another version of "kennel" before attempting to leave her in this pen with less supervision (she has already learned not to destroy her wire kennel and bed). This pen allows a little more room to stretch than the kennel, so I'm hoping it will be a nice option when visiting "grandparents", the office, etc; but I do not plan to leave her in it for long periods unattended -I doubt it would be secure or safe enough for that. The pen collapses easily and fits into a flat carrying case comparable in size to an artist's portfolio -there are no poles or frame parts to disassemble, simply unzip and remove the top and bottom and fumble a bit with collapsing the panels until you figure it out. Included illustrations are barely helpful. The pen provides good visibility and ventilation via the large mesh panels and ceiling. The canvas is not terribly heavy, but looks like it should hold up to moderate usage while keeping the pen light and portable. I would have preferred they use heavier zippers but so far they are holding up OK. Overall the pen is spacious, with plenty of headroom, highly portable and a great price. Seller shipped out immediately and it arrived within a few days.

Fast shipping, great, durable, convenient size. My new puppy A mini Aussie loves it, helps with potty training and socialization with my schipperke.THANKS

Buy Large 50" Pet Dog Play Pen Zipped Bottom Panel Now

This play pen has a top and bottom that zips, which is a key feature in keeping your little one safely inside. My 16-pound, Havanese dog was not able to escape at all, much to his chagrin but, he was comfortable inside as it was very spacious for him. The carrying case is a convenient plus that makes being on the go, especially on a road trip, low maintenance. Although it is very easy to setup, it is somewhat difficult to fold back into its carrying case. Overall, this was a solid purchase and we will be using the pen again for future events.

This is the second dog playpen in our household. We wanted the zippered bottom because our dog used to pull up the Velcro bottom in our existing playpen. Unfortunately when we took this playpen to a friend's house, as we attempted to collapse the playpen, the zipper went past the zipper stop and detached completely from the playpen. Also, our 15 pound dog escaped the first time she jumped it just fell over. We had to add rocks to hold the pen in place and keep her from escaping. Our old playpen looks similar but is heavier and does not have this problem (instead she pulls up the Velcro bottom and sneaks out).

This was perfect for training my lab puppy, we would use it inside of the house while away at work, it leaves enough room for a small puppy pad and puppy bed and our puppy really enjoyed being in it, however it des take up a good bit of space so i wouldnt use it long term, he is now 12 wees old and we have him in a kennel but still take this when we travel and he has never tried to get out of it. over all is was a great purchase for the price and shipping was fast.

Dogmatic FreeLeash Hands-Free Leash System

I am a dog trainer by trade and I own four dogs of my own. I loved the idea of this leash, also because I hoped to get extensions so that I could have all four of my dogs on the same belt and still have my hands free.

Well after purchasing this and trying it out on just one of my dogs I realized that I'm not so pleased with it. The elastic stretches so much that the dog almost comes too far away from your waist.

The adjustment on the belt is not too high-tech and I had to make my own way to keep all the excess belt from dangling and being in the way.

I hate the bungee leash it comes with and ended up using one of my own personal leashes. The bungee allows too much freedom for the dog to "bounce" out and then back. It's more annoying than anything.

I may try the Buddy System and see how they compare. . . .

I liked the idea of what the hands free leash offered but it broke the second time i used it and my dog only weighs 19 pounds. The clips that hold it together aren't made of strong metal and with little tension and pull it snaped at the part that connects your dog to the belt. the belt is quite comfortable and it does have pockets to hold items which is nice. for this product to truly work you have to add your own little upgrads such as putting metal clips on.

1/6/10 Update: So only a couple days after writing this review the thing bit the dust. While jogging along at a rather slow pace I slipped and came to a complete stop and when my dog hit the end of the stretchy leash the metal plate that the swivel is attached to went flying off the belt and smacked into my dog. Like the belt buckle, the edges on this metal piece are pretty heavy/sharp and thanks to the bungy leash it hit him pretty hard. Thankfully my dog has a nice shaggy winter coat so no real harm was done, just freaked him and me out. I can no longer recommend this leash system at all. It could be incredibly dangerous if it had managed to hit him in the face/eye.

I actually picked this up at a discount store for less than 10 bucks, figured I wasn't going to be losing out a whole lot if it didn't work. I ended up chopping off a couple feet of the leash because I intend to use it with a dog coupler that is about 2.5 feet long and it would have been too cumbersome. I find the belt to be more comfortable when I fit it much lower than they are showing on the box; I keep it down on my hips. The clasp for the belt is a very heavy metal one and can be a bit sharp so you want to be careful when clipping it. So far I have found the velcro that adjusts the belt to be extremely strong but I've only been using this for a few weeks. It is nice that the leash clips off in case you need some extra control and the swivel keeps you from getting completely tangled. I have been using it with my two dogs who are about 70 and 80 pounds and haven't had any problems with the belt breaking away or swivels snapping as I've read in other reviews. I probably wouldn't recommend this for someone with a very unruly large dog.

I took my dog out for a run using the new Dogmatic Freeleash for the first time and was VERY disappointed. We didn't make it even a quarter of a mile before the front metal leash attachment completely snapped off and I had to call my dog back to me. I don't recommend this product to anyone who has a dog that will pull on the leash. Even a slightly tough tug and your dogs off and running which could really be dangerous! I don't think the claim the leash can hold a dog up to 80lbs. is true, my dog is only 54lbs. and it didn't hold up at all.

The hands free leash is wonderful. I have a very exuberant mini schnauzer and my mother has a chihuahua, a mini doberman pinscher, and a miniature poodle. The hands free leash makes walking one or more dogs easy! No worries about dropping the leash and much easier to keep the dogs walking in the same direction.

Ethical Contempo Tessa Food and Treat Dispenser for Dogs

My 10 yr old Golden had grown bored with her toys. I discovered this treat dispenser and she now has a new favorite toy. She chases it around the house as it wobbles like those old Weebles Wobble toys of years ago. She quickly learned if she batted and nosed it around enough to get it going, small treats would come shooting out. You get to decide just how difficult or easy you want the treats to emerge. When this one wears out, we're definitely getting another one.

We have a Lakeland terrier and an Affenpinscher both love this toy and play with it in different ways. The terrier bats it around until the treats come out, the Affenpinscher tries to bite it and pick it up.

Well, the Affenpinscher managed to fit her lower jaw through one of the side dispensing holes and could not get out. Lots of screaming and blood I'm afraid before we managed to cut it off her.

So if your dog has a small lower jaw, please be careful no way the Lakeland's jaw could ever fit through that small hole, but the Affenpinscher was small enough.

Apparently, for a brief time anyway, PetSmart carried these toys. (Contempo.) I came across them late though, and bought the pink model at about half the price it is here on Amazon. Only because PetSmart had already sent it to the clearance bin! I can't imagine why!

I bought this toy as a birthday present for our Lab mix who loves puzzles and a little challenge. I put some of her Blue Buffalo dry food in here and set the slot just barely big enough. She has a great time with it.

Now, for a con... Due to it's design, when it's empty she can (and will) chew on the plastic top. So this is not a toy I leave out for her. We do love it though!

This product does not hold a lot of dog food not even a cup. And the holes are too big. My puppy was able to get all the food out of there within a couple of minutes. I did adjust the setting to restrict the flow of food from bottom to top. I will try to reduce the size of the holes but for the price I should not have to spend time and effort to make this a usable dispenser. Save your money or buy the tug-a-jug or bob-a-lot.

Update 12/27/2012 I used duct tape to close one hole and reduce the size of another so now it takes my puppy a little longer to get the food out.

My dog has a very short attention span and loses interest in toys quickly. We just received this toy for her "first birthday" and she has been at it for over an hour! What a cool invention for smart, active dogs. I'm going to try out some other Tessa treat dispensers. Very impressed!

Red Dingo Designer Dog Lead, Medium

this is the best leash I've bought. the length is adjustable, and it has a nice padded handle. Pretty, too!

Very nice quality. I purchased the harness also (went by size chart and it fits perfect) and it is also very nice. Leash has gone through a lot of wear and tear including being dragged through the sand and ocean and it washed up nicely. Will definitely order again when replacement is needed.

Love this leash! Great buy! Like the comfy handle on it and the adjustable length, can go long or short. Wish they had more patterns to choose from like one for each holiday. Hard to find cute and festive stuff for my 84lb Lab baby, but this is by far our favorite leash and collar.

Service Dog Vest - X-Tiny (fits less than 9 lbs)

This vest is absolutely perfect. I have a tiny three pound Chihuahua who is in training as a service pet for diabetes. I could not find a vest at the training center that was small enough for him and everywhere I went I was disappointed with the quality of the products I found for smaller dogs. When this arrived I was very pleased that it was not only exactly as it had been described, but the vest was made of excellent quality and was fully adjustable as promised. This is a wonderful product! Thank you!!

The pictures of this give you the impression that the "Working Service Dog" label is part of the vest. This is not the case and comes seperate with no way of attaching it. I am still trying to figure out how I can attach it. It is also very small about 1-1/2 in by 1/2 in. I expected a vest that I could use out of the box this is not the case.

This product is extra tiny, exactly as promised. My DH has a very small 3lb Chihuahua PSA and this is the first product we have found that actually fits him! However, be forwarned, there is not much extra fabric on this vest to put additional patches (unless they are quite small) We already had a 2.5 inch patch which will not fit, but were quite pleased to find that this vest comes with a small patch! Worth every penny! Thank you!

Precision Pet Little Stinker Housebreaking Pet Pads

The photo being shown for this product is of the carton that holds 100 count. Besides the photo, there is no mention in the product details of the number of pads in the package. I therefore only assumed it was what was shown in the photo. It seemed to be a great deal and was also shippable under Amazon Prime. However, upon receipt of my order today, what was shipped was the package with only 30 count. I will be returning it back to Amazon tomorrow. Needless to say, this is a gross misrepresentation by the seller and tarnishes the Amazon Prime brand.

The previous reviewer does a disservice rating these pads on the number of pads in the package, rather than on the product. These are the best pads I've found so far. They absorb more liquid than the many other brands I've tried, minimizing tracking. I highly recommend them!
