Petmate Comfort Chain - Black - 2 mm x 14"

Petmate Comfort Chain - Black - 2 mm x 14'I actually bought this for my cat who is quite large and hates harnesses. The fabric running the length of the chain makes it more gentle on his neck and he has no problem wearing it.

Poochie-Bells EcoFriendly Soft Bamboo Terracotta Dog Training

Poochie-Bells EcoFriendly Soft Bamboo Terracotta Dog TrainingI was skeptical at first. But each time we got to the front door, where I hung these on the knob, I'd ring the bell and say "let's go peeps" as we walked out. Within a couple of days, Scoot surprised me by going to the door , hitting the bells with his snout and waiting there for me.....

The product works as advertised. Our dog quickly learned to use it. We ignore it at our peril, for she becomes nervous if we do and may do her business in the house.

We bought this probably 1 1/2 months ago and today for the first time our dog used it. She's used it twice today so far.

We have been jingling it every time we let her out and she had no interest in it. I'm very happy that it's finally clicked with her. She's 7 months old, so definitely still a puppy.

My puppy was 12 weeks old when he started to learn how to use this. I always made him ring it at first so he can get use to it knowing it will yield him to go outside. After a few weeks he got it down packed. There are times he will ring it just to go outside and chase the squirrels lol.

My Miniature Golden Retriever mastered these bells in less than two days at 3 months old. I take them traveling with us too. I hang on hotel door and he walks under them to give a gentle sound to pee. He beats them with both front paws when he has to poop. I love them and refer all my friends to these bells. Haven't had one accident with these bells. At least none that were his fault. Don't use them if you leave your dog unattended. Easy for me because he is a service dog and goes everywhere I go. I now have a 2 1/2 month old pit bull puppy too. She rang the bells to pee for he first time today; after one week of show and tell from me and one year golden retriever. I fell asleep with her in my lap and awakened to her at the back door ringing the bells. I'm on pain medicine, so that tells you they are loud.I must admit that I tried to save a buck and ordered some bells off a popular auction site to give as Christmas gifts. I will not be embarrassing myself and gifting them to anyone. I'm paying the extra buck and getting these (larger; more bells on cord; and louder).

Dogtra 300M Element Dog Training Collar, Small to Medium Dogs

Dogtra 300M Element Dog Training Collar, Small to Medium DogsVery easy to use. Has had the obedience effect we desired. Our very stubborn 90lb

shepherd is now very submissive. Only draw back is the actual collar is difficult to manipulate. Because it is necessary to take off every night, it would be better if it were an adjustable snap on collar.

This collar was recommended by my dog trainer. So far, it works quite good! I mostly use it for unwanted barking, jumping up on the back door and the command "leave it" only if saying it doesnt work the 1st time.

In not too much more time, I won't need it at all. It doesn't take much "zap" when you are training a fairly smart 8 month old GSD.

The only downside is it seems to need recharging every day even when not in use. This isn't enough to take my 5 star rating away tho. I would recommend this product!

Product arrived as promised. The collar was recommended by a trainer. It works great. Do not correct if the dog is in the midst of an altercation. This could make it escalate. Otherwise, command-if no response-correction. Repeat as required. Less corrections needed week by week. Rare now after 2 months

i-crates are very nice but I purchased this exact crate and size that is shown. I researched to make sure this was the correct size for my mom's chihuaha mix. he is only 10 pounds and this crate was way too small for him. its so small that i had trouble opening it, the latch keep getting stuck. Not sure how the dog in the picture fits in the crate b/c my moms dog had no room to move. It will cost me money to ship it back. For this size crate, go to the pet store and make sure your dog will fit in it first or just automatically go a size up.

Bungee Pupee 6-Feet X-Large Leash, Pink/Black

Bungee Pupee 6-Feet X-Large Leash, Pink/BlackGreat item. Really saves your shoulder and back if you have pullers. Would recommend to anyone. Perfect if you have med to large dogs.

I own a Pet Sitting/Dog Walking business and let me tell you, I have tried what seems to be every leash out there. I had a client bring their dog in using the Bungee Pupee leash. After walking the dog with said leash, I was sold. It works amazing and you wouldn't believe how well it controls pulling from your dog. It absorbs the jerking and doesn't affect you at all. Seriously, I am geeking out about how amazing this leash is, and it's worth every penny!

Buy Bungee Pupee 6-Feet X-Large Leash, Pink/Black Now

I have an 80lb dog that usually walks right by my side. Sometimesshe pulls so i thought I would try the leash as i have a rotor cuff tear. The leash was so heavy it was uncomfortable holding the excess in my hand. There was NO give in the leash as there were 4 bungee strapfs braided together. Maybe if i had purchased the one for a smallerdog i would have liked it better. It was very heavy and very stiff. I was disappointed. I returned it.

The leash is way too long. I have had a problem with my German shepherd pulling and the leash gives her more room and it stretches to allow her to reAch. It does snap her back but not til she's at a good length. I think I needed to get a shorter leash but the weight description said I needed the one I ordered.

Want Bungee Pupee 6-Feet X-Large Leash, Pink/Black Discount?

My husband wanted a leash that is more substantial and not flat so that he can have a better grip. We had a nylon leash that worked for the most part, but both he and I got "leash burn" on our hands trying to hold on to the flat and thin leash. We considered leashes made of ropes, but this was a better option since elastic absorbs shocks. We contacted the seller and custom ordered the color (pink and purple), and the leash arrived quick. This was a bit pricey, but it's really the best leash available. Our 50 lb puppy is a puller, so we ordered the heavy-duty one, and combined with a gentle leader, she walks great. We can't be happier!

Service Dog Vest - X-Small - RedLovely service vest for our working dog. First one was a bit small (they run small), but the next size (reg small) was perfect for our 30# Wheaten).

Bought my dog this one because the other one is heavy and gets hot in the summer heat. Really happy that i reordered a second one! HAs 2 pockets where you could put doggie bags on one and service dog certificate on the other. Very light and harmless to them. Excellent for the beach or for lots of activity. Runs big .. my dog is medium sized , about 28 pounds. and had to change the small for an xsmall.

Dog Collar with LED Lights, Multi-Function

Dog Collar with LED Lights, Multi-FunctionAfter moving to a new place we had no fenced area for our 3 dogs to go out in. We decided not to put up a fence since we have many more acreas than previously. Training them to go out without a leash became more difficult at nighttime since they like to run around for a bit. It's impossible to see where they are and to keep an eye on them. We have 2 Dalmatians and a Sheltie who all have a delayed reaction to coming in when called. Each dog has a different colored collar to identify them easier. I think it also helps them to see where they are running. That is why I tripped over our firepit running after one of them and they did not. It's been about a month that we have had the collars and they continue to work well. Sometimes it is a little harder to see our sheltie because of her longer fur but we try to matt her fur down before we put it on her. We have also added a little ball light attatchment to help with that issue. I would recommend these lighted collars for any dog.

Nature's Miracle Best Behavior Pet Training Aid - 16 oz

Nature's Miracle Best Behavior Pet Training Aid - 16 ozWe have a rescue dog that "submission pees" due to fear of humans. This stuff is great and really stops the urine stain from smelling or staining. This is indespensable for any dog owner who is pottie training their dog. I have tried the others, and this is by far the best.

I liked this product. It works well on our rabbits, except for one who actually licks the stuff off of wires, floorboards, and anything else we need to spray it on. For her we have to use a second spray, but we can't use just the other one because another one of our bunnies likes to lick it! But as long as you don't have bunnies with weird tastes, I think this is a great product: it's not too nasty when spraying to upset you, but I wouldn't get it on your tongue, and it works at keeping animals (at least rabbits in my experience) from chewing things they shouldn't.

My only negative for this spray is doesn't sink in the air. After spraying things in a room I've walked in an hour later and could still smell it floating in the air (again, fine as long as you don't try to get it on your tongue). But that's a small price to pay for something that works.

Maybe my dog is just crazy, but I would spray this stuff all over something he was licking and it did not really stop him.

Guardian Gear No-Jump Dog Harness

Guardian Gear No-Jump Dog HarnessWell, my dog has actually only worn this for about two minutesmy husband felt bad for him when he saw how funny he walked with it on. It probably would have worked too, but after he took it off, we haven't put it back on because it's just a pain to dolots of straps and stuff everywhereit gets confusing. They should have had the buckles markedthat might have made it easier and more user-friendly and it might actually have been used then.

This product is so difficult to figure out. If you were trying to assemble and put it on a dog mannequin it would be hard, and we are all actually trying to put this on our wildly thrashing, over-excited dogs. It just doesn't work! I assembled it properly a few times, the other times, just sort of improvised, i.e. putting limbs through loops, pulling cords tight and tying them together until my dog was clearly hindered from moving freely. There has to be a better way to do this. maybe color-coded pieces? Or a little more structure and less one-size-fits-all? At any rate, the first time I turned my back, she gnawed through the nylon straps in like, .5 seconds. I sewed them back with my sewing machine, tried it a couple more times, then my husband stepped in and installed a trolley/cable. The idea of my dog being tethered whenever she is out appalls me, but the harness just wasn't practical.

This might be better for a smaller dog. I used it on my boxer who is 62 lbs and it only worked well if it was too tight on her.

It will cause the dog to have sores on the back of his legs, after a while one needs to check to make sure it is secure because the dog will work it loose and start jumping.

Want Guardian Gear No-Jump Dog Harness Discount?

I read the other reviews on the Guardian Gear No-Jump Dog Harness

by Guardian and saw where people were complaining about them being chewed off, so I also bought a bottle of no chew spray. The spray was worthless on the harness. If you aren't around to reapply the spray every 30 minutes to an hour, there is no need to even use the no chew spray since it just evaporates. Our dog is jumping our 5 foot fence with NO problem. I didn't have a problem getting the harness on her and getting it on correctly every time, but my husband never could figure it out. My dog learned to stand decently still while I put it on because she knew she was getting to go outside and run and play versus being tethered outside on a cable just to use the bathroom. She walked and ran funny at first but she soon got used to the harness and did not get out of the fence. The problem came when I left her outside too long and she laid down to rest. The leg straps slipped down her legs and she got out of it. Luckily she came into the house instead of getting loose. Next was that I left it on her when she came in so I didn't have to fight her to get it on and off (the first day). She and her sister chewed through a strap. I sewed it back on. Then she got it off a cabinet and she chewed through a clip. I replaced the clip. She chewed through another strap, sewed it back, and lastly through 3 clips. Now I don't have enough extra strap to repair it since she has grown and chewed through it in the same place a few times. I am buying another one today and going to sew the straps in place so there are no loose ends to tempt her and it is going to be stored inside a cabinet so she can't get to it when she doesn't wear it. I REALLY wish some company made one of these in leather. Now that I know that it works on her, I would gladly pay good money for one I knew would hold up to a 1.5 year old puppy.

D.T. Systems SPT2432 Training Collar, Black

D.T. Systems SPT2432 Training Collar, BlackStay away from D.T. System training collars. Poor quality and short life span, especially when you consider the price. I paid premium price for a training collar and it worked for about 10 months. This collar was used on an inside dog. I returned to the manufacture for warrantythat's $25.00 for them to just check it. It worked for about another 10 months and not not serviceable again. I purchased a different brand collar.

I have purchased and have other DT Systems products (2 H20 collars and transmitters), but this will be my last DT Systems purchase.

My problems started when the screw that attached the lanyard to SPT2432 came out, leaving me with only the lanyard, and no transmitter.

My training partners and I searched for an hour but couldn't find the transmitter.

Giving up, I contacted DT Systems about purchasing a replacement. "Fine no problem, return both collars so that we can pair them with the new transmitter."

I returned the 2 collars and a week or so later received a call. They no longer had a transmitter that would pair with my 2 collars and only had a demo set that would work. I paid full price for a new transmitter, they kept my practically new collars and I received a well used "demo" set with a transmitter that only holds a charge for 30 min and one of the collars' locator beepers can only be heard from 30 yards away. I would have been better off applying my $250 to the purchase of a new system, but now I am disgruntled. They can have my $250 and my new collars but they will no longer have my business.

Buy D.T. Systems SPT2432 Training Collar, Black Now

I bought this training system because it is the more complete and with more features in the current market: includes an electronic/light tester to test signal, and you can test it on your own skin to see what your dogs will feel (in case is too strong, you can lower it), rechargeable and replaceable battery, more control on stimulation: 'nick' or 'momentary', and 'continuous' button , and Vibration, and Rising stimulation, and locator, waterproof , long range etc.. I also liked the D.T. Systems's idea of integrating a Remote training device with a No-Bark trainer. However, this device is not the one, and has some issues as all the other brands as well:

First this expensive SPT2432 collar is not what DT Systems claims:

"The Super Pro Elite TM series is the very first and only electronic dog training system to integrate a Remote training device with a No-Bark trainer. Thus, eliminating the need for two separate collar systems."

FYI: The material of the orange collar is not the same as the black collar. I liked the orange collar more, as it is more soft and easier to put on the dog. The black collar is hard and seems to be different material.

1) The 2 point contacts / electrodes are like rounded nails (around 1 centimeter each), and with short term use can hurt/damage the dog's skin. The manuals of these collars including other brands clearly indicate that, and the name of the disease is: Pressure Necrosis. You have to clean dog skin regularly in case of irritation. The point is: as the manual indicates you can not leave the dog unattended when the dog has that collar (as no electronic device is perfect, as indicated in the manual). Whoever created those stainless steel contacts should try them on themselves for a few hours and see how that feels. This is not the only electronic collar with that nail type contact issue. All of the ones I saw including other brands have 2x very similar contacts on each collar (some brands longer than others). I would have preferred something like: multiple short rounded contacts around the dog's neck to ensure conductivity, or something else. I tried the collar with a proper snug fit (as indicated in the manual) on myself for less than a minute and the 2x contacts left marks on my skin. Imagine if you were to keep the collar on for multiple hours, and then look at the condition of your skin.

2) Deceiving advertising: Super Pro e-Lite is NOT: No-Bark Trainer and Beeper Locater in 1 collar. It is only a Beeper Locater.

I did some research and the only model that used to be 2 in 1 is the DT Systems SPT-7802. That collar is not longer available, not even in ebay nor in the manufacturer's website. It was released a few years ago, but the only online store that had it in their system indicates the following about that collar: Current Status: Unavailable / Discontinued. I did read the manual of the SPT-7802 and found out that you can have only 1 option active at a time. An expensive device that does not provide the option of controlling both modes at the same time becomes useless, considering the high price.

A collar claiming those 2 features should allow the user to have 3 options:

No-Bark Trainer and normal remote stimulation mode ON (barking is controlled + useful in cases were the dog is doing something that the dog is not supposed to do owner can send remote stimulation to dog)

only No-Bark Trainer ON

only Beeper Locater ON

3) The quality of the screen is not good at all. I tried to carefully clean the screen with just a microfiber towel that I use for my glasses because I saw a little bit of dust on it, and just by doing that it left small marks on the screen. I did not see a plastic cover on top of the screen that needed to be removed, but after seeing the mark on the screen I preferred to avoid more contact with the screen. Imagine a screen of that quality for a simple phone.. you would have to buy a screen protector for it prior to start using the device, otherwise it will have tons of marks that would not be possible to eliminate.

I would have kept the device if it provided those essential options mentioned above, and had multiple or better designed contacts to ensure conductivity and most importantly a collar that does not damage the dog skin. These collars are supposed to help the dog's owner eliminate issues like bark, behavior, carrying 2 collars (1 for no bark, and 1 for training) etc.. not for creating new issues: skin irritation, Pressure Necrosis, 2 collars etc..

By the way, these are some of the instructions included in the manuals for these type of collars:

Place the collar high on your dog's neck close to the ears. Center the contact points underneath your dog's neck, touching the skin.

Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the contact points to make sure that contact is consistent.

Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between the end of a contact point and your dog's neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting

Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure by being able to insert one finger between a contact point and your dog's skin.

Examine your dog daily for any signs of a rash or sore.

A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due to excessive and prolonged contact against the contact points.

If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few days.

If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

Your dog's neck and the contact points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.

A loose collar can promote skin irritation from moving or rubbing too much on a dog's neck while they are running or training. The proper snug fit will help prevent this from occurring.

Read Best Reviews of D.T. Systems SPT2432 Training Collar, Black Here

I've used this model, and the generation model before it for many years now. Reliability is superb. The other review doesn't make sense. D.T.'s service Department coupled with the SPT 2432 lifetime warranty makes it a no brainer. Many times collars don't seem to work because they are misapplied to the dog, incorrectly positioned, heavy dog hair on the neck, etc. Yes, there is actually a correct way to put the collar on the neck as well as prepping the neck. You can actually do it wrong and not be happy. Seek the help of a professional dog trainer if you are unsure. Each collar has a 'how to' book in it.

PRO's:

1. Has a 'nick' or 'momentary' button. When pressed it only delivers a fraction of a second stimulation. Very humane.

2. Has a 'continuous' button which when pressed and held can deliver constant stim up to 8 seconds until the fail safe kicks in which causes it turn off (in case you were to accidentally sit on it or something unknowingly).

3. Has Vibration. Just like the old pagers we use to carry around, it vibrates. Use this as praise or as a warning...very humane feature! See my how to train your own bird dog page at brittanys d0t c0m

4. Has Rising stimulation. Use this for avoidance training, i.e. chasing cars, deer, etc.

5. Has a beeper that works 3 ways. You can touch a button to cause it to beep so that you can find your dog or you can use one of two more settings in which it will beep as your dog runs about. This feature has a built in motion detector that lets you know when your dog has stopped by changing the beep duration.

6. Antenna is built into the dog collar so no problems losing/breaking external antenna's.

7. Has a rechargeable battery that lasts about 4 or 5 years of heavy use and is inexpensively replaced by DT when / if it does expire.

8. Waterproof! 100 percent.

9. 50, yes, FIFTY levels of stim. Most humans can't feel the first few levels and to the dog, it feels like a finger tap. I put it on my own neck to try.

10. Available in 2 dogs models and newer models have the 'add a collar' feature so your system grows with you.

11. One year bumper to bumper warranty, Lifetime Parts warranty.

12. D.T. is based in Dallas, Texas on Walnut Hill Lane.

Cons:

1. it is not a small lightweight collar for small dogs. Also smaller dogs may need the beeper moved closer to the receiver...free by DT. If you have a small dog, you should try their Micro IDT collar. It works terrific for small breeds and for trainers who want something lightweight that won't cause 'collar wiseness'.

2. with heavy use, you'll have to have DT replace the battery in about 5 years.

Note of Disclosure: I am on D.T.'s Pro Staff but used the product Prior to joining them. I believe in this product and train daily with it in Texas and 2 months every year in Montana from horseback. If it didn't work I wouldn't bother as I certainly don't won't folks thinking I endorse junk.

Butler NutriSentials Lean Treats for Dogs

Butler NutriSentials Lean Treats for DogsLike others on here, I got my first bag of Lean Treats for our Shih Tzu, at the veterinarian and he loved them. He knows them as his "treats." The bag says it is only available from veterinarians, but as I suspected everything is available on Amazon and at less than the $4 a bag the vet charges. A rattle of the bag gets him to come in the house when he is being stubborn. He'll do anything for them. I actually break them in half so I can give him a "treat" more often. But these are relatively good for him....that is why they are "lean" treats. I think it is amazing how he loves them, and clearly other dogs do too. You can't go wrong giving your dog these.

lean treats were given to us by our vet. have used them scince & our dog really like them. would recommend !!

I bought more and my dog is in gluttony heaven now. He actually shakes all over when I pick up the bag to give him one. Giving him his pills is no problem now since the treats are soft and a pill can be pushed into it and it's down his throat before he can taste his meds.

Coastal Advance Housebreaking Pet Pad Frame

Coastal Advance Housebreaking Pet Pad Framethe product did not stay together as the holes were poorly drilled and the parts did not stay. Moreover, even if one were able to put the frame together, if a dog were to kick after urinating, it could dislodge the frame. If a dog were to step on one of the dislodged ends, the metal connector sticks would stick up and could smack the dog or actually stab it. Pet Depot did not offer a reasonable return policy as it required I pay for shipping both ways and insurance on the return so I threw the product in the garbage.Coastal Advance Housebreaking Pet Pad Frame

ADDITIONAL UPDATE 15 July 2010: I would like to add that the rubber inside the corners of the newer frames...the ones that come with a white/blue color corner (instead of the older red/yellow color corners) DO NOT have as much holding power as the older frames did. The rubber inside the corners is a LOT softer/thinner plastic and the pads are much more proned to slip out of the corners.

I read the other reviews....I really like this product. I may have been lucky that my order arrived on time?? The main problem I have noticed is it is getting difficult to find these little frames. The ones you see now are much more expensive! I raise Chihuahua's so I always have several pads down, and expense is a big issue for me.

I have not had a problem with the wire sides coming apart, at least not to the point of being a problem. It has happened on occasion with some of my older frames, but I simple stuffed a small amount of pad/napkin/paper in the hole and that fixed the problem (quick fix-but it worked for me)

I have been using these frames for over 5 years, and have never had a puppy hurt by the frame, the corners are strong enough to handle consistant chewing by several litters with no damage that would effect the use of the frame. The corners are hard plastic so they can be soaked in clorox water for daily cleaning. The rubber inside the corners is the only portion that has grown weak over extended use from inserting and removing the PP pad corners.

All in all, I have to give this product a clear 5 rating as it has worked well for me with constant use.

This is a perfect pet frame for a small dog or puppy for housetraining. You just push the corners of the pad into the frame. This was really nice since the pads that have no sticky backing just slide around on the floor and the pads with sticky backing leave that sticky residue all over my tile floor. This is a good solution for keeping the pad stable. My only issue is that it took forever to ship from the seller. Not sure that it arrived within the timeframe that it said it would. Otherwise, I have no problem with the product itself.

Kakadu Pet Empire Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, Large, 1" x 4-6ft, Dusk (Pink)

Kakadu Pet Empire Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, Large, 1' x 4-6ft, DuskHigh quality adjustable leash. The handle is soft and padded, so it's nicer to hold onto than other leashes.

They hold up very well. I bought 2 for my boxers 15 months ago, and with washing, they still look like new.

This is a thick, well-made and attractive pink and black leash, however, it is definitely too big and heavy for my little 9 pound Japanese Chin -silly me! Would recommend for a dog of at least 35 pounds!

Midwest Ultima Pro Series Dog Crate

Midwest Ultima Pro Series Dog Crate 31 Inches by 22 Inches by 24 InchesThis is a high quality crate. The wires are thick and well put together. The crate does not wobble at all. The removable doors are one of the selling points that led me to buy this. It is hard to find removable doors on crates. Also, I am able to roll the crate in one direction (there are strong rolls of plastic on the bottom wires). It makes cleaning under the cage easy since you do not have to lift it.

Our dog is strong and likes to jump against the crate and is a heavy chewer, yet the crate can stand all the force. I can really see this lasting a very long time. Even the plastic tray is thick. Also, there are no sharp edges. It comes with a DVD that will help you crate your dog (I had no use for it).

If you are buying a crate, spend the extra money and go for the Ultima Pro.

Our dog took less than a year to destroy a similarly priced, low-end crate purchased from my local chain pet store. The crate was fine, but she chewed her way through the door. After weeks of research, this crate looked like the only one that might survive. Glad I made the purchase. Yes, this is one of the most expensive crates I found, but if your dog is destroying the cheaper ones as fast as mine was, this is a bargain in the long run. The wires are spaces much more closely together than on other crates, so she cannot get her mouth on them to chew. The door overlaps the crate (the inside part of the overlap is the only part she can chew). And the wires are MUCH thicker than on any other crate I've seen. Even on the one part she can chew, she can barely bend it. The welds seem tougher too. I like the three doors, it gives us more options in how to place the crate in the room. My only problem is that the plastic pan on the bottom easily slides out, and sometimes I will come home and it is halfway out of the crate.

I ordered this crate in the size 37in. x 24.5 x 28 for my 5 month old American Pitbull Terrier Male. Im glad I did, instead of ordering the flimsy iCrate or lifestages crate. They are just too noisy, especially with an already 40lb Puppy inside it.

I thought this was a much better deal because I did not want to spend $200 on one of the super strong crates I was originally looking at. I feel like this one will work just fine and will be strong/safe enough for my Dog. I really like how there is a lot less rattling. I wish there was a better slide out crate pan though. It seems to be the same as all the other ones.

Pro's:

-3 doors

-No rattling

-Much sturdier/better quality

-Price isn't that bad

Con's:

-Front door latches are difficult to lock and unlock (Atleast on the one I got)

-Was shipped in the same box it came in without any extra protection (Box was a bit banged up)

-Slide out crate pan doesn't seem any more durable then the ones in the other crates.

All in all, I would definetly recommend this crate for anyone wanting something higher quality and long lasting. It's great for people with stronger pets, who may do some damage to a weaker crate.

We are fostering a 55lb Female Pit who was severely abused, starved etc etc. We tried FIVE crates prior to this one all of which she either broke out of or destroyed. The crate is fairly thick (although I was expecting a little thicker). She has yet to bend any of the wires after about 3 weeks (with others she did it after one day). The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because the door latch hinges are not as strong as I would have liked. I bought some zip ties and just tied those down so she could not open the gate (trust me she has done it in the past). If this crate can contain our crazy foster Pit I guarantee this thing will hold up to whatever dog you may have.

I purchased several of these in the smallest size about a year ago from Amazon.com. Every one of them arrived with a different small defect. Various hinges and latches were bent just enough to not work without some repair. The hinges don't always line up right for the doors to close easily. The clips to hold in the tray do not line up properly on a single one of my crates. I think this is just poor design, not a defect. This is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.

Otherwise, they are very nice, thick, and sturdy crates. We stack them and attach them together with thick zip strips, and we find this a stronger, more sturdy setup than the Midwest stacking crates. We didn't see the point before we got them, but now we love having the 3 doors. It makes things so much easier and more flexible to arrange. The insert to make the crate smaller for puppies is very nice as well. These crates become our dogs' homes for mealtimes and bedtimes, so it is well worth it to spend a little more to get good, sturdy quality that will last.

FYI, the rectangle brand-label tag on one of the doors is magnetic. We purchased custom name plates for our crates and a roll of sticky magnet strip at a craft store. With the magnets on the back of the name plates, we can easily switch around the names on top of the door tags. It works great.

I returned the Midwest brand crate bowl holders because they seemed to present a hazard to the dog when not holding a bowl. Instead, I purchased wing nut crate bowl holders at an AKC dog show vendor booth and anchored them with extra zip strips. Add a washable Midwest Quiet Time 23-By-18-Inch Micro Terry Deluxe Pet Bed, Taupe from Amazon, and you have a perfect setup!

DT Universal No Pull Dog Harness, Clear Patches, Black, Large - Fits Girth Size: 33-Inch to 42-Inch

DT Universal No Pull Dog Harness, Clear Patches, Black, Large - Fits Girth Size: 33-Inch to 42-InchI have recommended this to many folks it really makes a difference as I can completely stop him if he wants to pull.

All in all this seems to be a pretty decent harness.The latches are some type of a sturdy plastic so it makes for washing easy without much worry about rust. The verticle strap that goes up the front of my dogs chest fits a little sloppy even when fully adjusted. I bought this harness because I liked the handle. I make my dog wear it everytime he goes outside because he doesn't want to come in every time I call and it takes a bit of force to make him come in.Thats where the handle really helps.The only drawback is my dog figured out how to pull the harness over his head like a shirt and step out of it. So if he doesn't want to wear it I find him seperated from it. However he mostly cooperates and keeps it on.So I won't return it because its the best thing I have going for me right now.
