Rainy Day Puppy Bumper - Keep Your Dog on the Safe Side of the Fence -Multi Stripe up to 10"

Rainy Day Puppy Bumper - Keep Your Dog on the Safe Side of the Fence -Multi Stripe up to 10'This worked great to keep my little puppy safe in the yard until he grew enough to not be able to fit through the fence. The water resistant cloth is great too for small dogs that are close to the wet grass or plants.

Easy Walk Harness - Small/Medium, Green

Easy Walk Harness - Small/Medium, GreenOscar, my little weiner dog, keeps stepping over the leash when attached to this harness. Althought the harness is the right size (he is about 18 pounds), the ring on his chest droops too low to the ground. I improved this by clipping the leash into both his normal collar and the Easy Walk Harness at the same time. As long as I keep him on a short leash it works fine.

For a dachshund, I think a no-pull type harness would work better, because they attach to the leash between the shoulder blades. Of course, this is not as good for puppy training, but we could go for longer walks without having to unravel the leash from his front legs.

At the time, I bought 2 of these: one for each of our dogs. It works best with our older dog, who has filled out a bit more than our younger one. He is a little more muscular, so the harness seems to fit him better. The only complaint I have is that the front strap that goes across their chest does not remain "adjusted". When you tighten the front strap, after one or two uses, it completely loosens up. Other than that, it's a sturdy product that has tremendously helped our dogs. They rarely pull on walks now, and when they do, they are easily corrected.

The only reason i give this a 4/5 is I think the material is a bit heavy for the size of the dog. I've had a similar harness in the past that was lighter.

But this is definitely a good product.

This is a wonderful harness for dog walking! Helps keep my dog from pulling. Collars choke dogs and I do not like to use them!

I'm happy with this one!

Wanted to keep the straps tight, but as my dog pulled she'd inevitably loosen them. Had to sew the straps so they wouldn't move. Other than that, great product.

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

Flexi Classic Lead 16-Feet Small Cord for Dogs, Up to 26-Pound, PinkThis 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.

My husband and I bought this little pink leash for Mitzi Gaynor;

who we adopted from the Animal Shelter

the day after we lost our precious 14+ Chihuahua Annie.

Since Annie went in her sleep like we prayed for

and always loved her Flexi Classic 1 Small, 26lbs, Blue, 16ft. leash's freedom

for chasing other dogs and terrorizing neighbors (he-he)

We had to get Mitzi one to match her pink rhinestone collar.

Mitzi Gaynor still is so young and wants to be held

but when she's down and walking

she adores the pink and loves the freedom of this leash

just like her Aunt Annie did!

This would be a decent product but the wire and the threaded attachment were just too easy for my dog to chew through. Needless to say, it didn't last very long. I won't be buying this item again. Maybe I will get some sort of chain next time, or a leash with a higher quality lead.

Solvit Cargo Area Net Barrier

Solvit Cargo Area Net BarrierPet barriers are annoying to purchase as the good ones always cost $100 or more. Feeling cheap one day, I decided to give this one a go. One of the support straps broke as I was installing it -just from putting the support rod into it -so the manufacturing was predictably shoddy. But I could live with that -and even fix it. The real problem was that the first time I tried leaving my two dogs in the back (one 60 lb dog, one 15 lb dog) it was a joke. Within five minutes both dogs were in the front seats and the pet barrier did not even appear to have moved. There were just two happy dogs in the front and an undisturbed pet barrier in the back. So now I'm out $30 and off to buy a proper barrier. My advice: just pay the extra money for a good one. There doesn't appear to be a cheap version on the market that's as effective as the $100+ items. (I gave this review an extra star because it might work ok just as a visual barrier if you've got a huge dog).

Might work for some applications but not mine. The unit is very flexable and my big guy just pushes right around it as it bends very easy and has places where he can poke his head around it

This is a great product. I bought a new car and wanted to keep the slobber/dogs in the cargo area. I was afraid it would be flimsy but it works great. It would be nice if it went all the way from one side of the car to the other (I cover the sides of my back seat with a towel when I take the dogs now).

This was perfect for the back of our small suv. Our back headrests don't move, so it was a little tricky getting the tabs through, but I made it. If you're worried about your dog going through it, don't be. We have a 90 lb. lab, and if you're dog is trained well enough, he will stay there. Ours worked just like the picture shows, and keeps the dog hair out of the rest of the car.

I used to have a metal barrier in my SUV, but the rattling noise was driving me crazy. I found this net barrier online, and it was cheaper and SILENT! I love it. I have a golden retriever who is not a chewer and it works great to keep her and her hair out of the rest of the vehicle.

Tri-Tronics Pro 200 G3 EXP Training Collar

Tri-Tronics Pro 200 G3 EXP Training CollarTri-Tronics Pro 200 G3 collar is the one I settled on after researching dog e-collars extensively (dogtra and cheaper petco collars). I will write/ link to a more extensive review with pictures and video at a later date. Will provide the url to it in an update but suffice it to say here are some of my findings and I hope this helps a dog lover with an unmanageable/ agressive dog.

PLEASE, if you are considering `giving up' on your dog read on this is a tool that if used properly can really help your dog become a better citizen despite what people tell you about dogs and shock collars/ e-collars.

E-collars are for dogs that are `hard' dogs. This term refers to an aggressive dog toward other animals or humans and views your commands and hollering as `optional'.

The opposite is a `soft' dog may not follow your instructions but listens and tucks its tail between its legs when you raise your voice these collars SHOULD NOT be used with soft dogs (more on this later). For a very good video on this and how to use e-collars see link http://www.amazon.com/Remote-Collar-Training-Pet-Owners/dp/B0013LUXZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1301013433&sr=8-1

We have had a rescue for six years and have contemplated getting an e-collar/ shock collar but have been very reluctant b/c it can cause pain to the animal. Last winter we found a small dog abandoned to die in the woods by our house (still makes me very sad to think that people do this). Our shepherd-mix is very aggressive, so the problem we had was she was ready to kill the little guy. Luckily we have a large home and could separate the two dogs and worked on slowly introducing them. Took some 6 months to where we could allow them into the same room (on leashes). Given the big dogs aggression we needed to get her under voice command every time. Also, given her high prey drive and tendency to roam we walk her on a 50ft. leash. She did break the leash a couple of times and it took a good hour to catch her as she would take off chasing an animal in the woods.

Along comes the Tri-Tronics Pro 200 collar. After following the leerburg dvd instructions and some 12 months later I can truly I WISH I HAD BOUGHT THIS SIX YEARS AGO. I can take our big dog off leash in the woods and SHE ALWAYS COMES BACK. I can make her stop in her tracks with my voice command NO. I have used the shock feature about 10 times in one year. Only one time have I used it on a high setting (66% of full power). The rest of the time it has been on low settings (16%) it snaps her out of her prey drive and makes her pay attention to me. I MUST EMPAHSIZE I ALWAYS HAVE DOG TREATS IN MY FANNY PACK for both the little dog and the big one and I FOLLOWED THE DVD INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. Had I not bought the DVD I would have done it all wrong so I cannot recommend the product enough (see url above).

Why I chose the Tri-Tronics Pro 200:

1. I wanted a collar that would allow me to control my dog from a distance. If you are in the woods and there are rock outcrops the stated distance on e-collars at which you can control your dog drops off considerably. Given how much I love my dogs and how paranoid I was about the distance issue I wanted one that would, without a doubt, control my big dog, whatever the terrain I therefore settled for the one with a range of one mile. Keep in mind I had never used an e-collar but envisaged letting my dog roam free with the little dog (the recent addition) probably following her and wanted to ensure that I could control her over a long distance both dogs off-leash. This was the ultimate goal and I was very unsure how long this would take but wanted to have a collar that would work to satisfy this endpoint.

2. There are two different ways to `shock' your dog. One is `CONTINUOUS' lasts for ~10 seconds the other is a `NICK' last for ~0.5 seconds and is momentary. Reading up and watching all the material I could find I felt that the NICK in the end would be what I used more than the continuous. A year later I can confirm I was right.

3. Gradations More the gradations for the shock nick or continuous the better so I could dial in the exact setting to get our big dogs attention fine tuning the device to her sensitivity.

4. Expandability keep in mind we had just found the second dog. He was small, very badly abused. I wasn't sure with time if he too would turn out to be a stubborn guy so I wanted to be able to use two collars (one on each dog) controlled with one remote (in my hand) if need be. After a year I can say with certainty that this is not the case at all and so I will never use an e-collar on the little fellow. He does wonderfully with my voice commands.

5. The two manufacturers that came to the top early on were Dogtra and Tri-tronics. Each of these manufacturers have several different models and this is where it gets tricky and why I am writing this review (for now without the pictures and videos of my beta-testing). I decided I needed a 1 mile range and as many nick gradations I could get. I looked at the Dogtra 3500 NCP and the Tri-Tronics Pro 200 because they met my criteria. I decided to buy both and then keep the one I felt was best returning the other one.

6. The Dogtra has 127 continuous gradations for both the nick and the continuous mode. It is smaller than the tri-tronics and I was leaning toward this manufacturer. After having bought both to test out I quickly realized that the tri-tronics is actually far better for both the dog and the trainer. The way the e-collar works is there is a component that sits around the dogs neck (the receiver) and the transmitter (you have in your hand). The component on the dog's neck has two prongs that push into the dog's neck and this is what carries the electric shock to the animal after you press the button on the transmitter. The prongs on the Dogtra were brutal. They were significantly more pronounced and pushed into the dogs neck in a way that I thought was excessive, especially when compared to the Tri-tronics design. Keep in mind I was using the SMALLEST prongs from both manufacturers. The prongs have threads that screw into the receiver and you get a couple of different sizes in each box. Dogtra is a Korean company and I felt that keeping the dog comfortable while it has the receiver around its neck was not a priority and came through in the design. Remember the receiver is only activated for a very small fraction of the time the dog has this around its neck. This was something that I never did see in any reviews and was surprised to find out when I actually had both units in my hand and was beta-testing them for my use.

7. The Dogtra has 127 gradations while the Tri-Tronics Pro 200 has 18 for Nick and still fewer 6 for Continuous. On the face of it I thought this was a major drawback with the Tri-Tronics Pro 200. Also, the Tri-Tronics Pro 200 has a bigger transmitter (the part that sits in your hand). Surprisingly the Tri-Tronics is really a more thoughtful design and SUPERIOR product despite having less fidelity in the transmitter. Turns out the 18 gradations for the Nick and the 6 for continuous in the Tri-Tronics Pro 200 ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH. IMO there is also a design flaw in the Dogtra transmitters (regardless of model #) that again I only discovered because I bought both and was trying them out side-by-side and I haven't seen mentioned anyplace.

The Dogtra feels like a thick cell phone (think Motorola startac vintage but 2x thicker) that has a knurled knob where the antennae would go that you rotate and as you rotate it the level changes in a little LED screen on the face of the device, displaying the setting value (between 1 and 127). As you rotate it the value changes from 1 127. You have two rubberized buttons labeled nick or continuous positioned on the side of the instrument (where the volume buttons on a cell phone would be). You also have a vibrate button (more about this later) but this is on the face of the device above the LED display ().

The Tri-Tronics Pro 200 has a knob on the top, with hard stops, and these go from 1-6. This device looks like a 2D maglite flashlight, albeit smaller and lighter. On the SIDE of the cylindrical device you have three buttons that control the levels of the shock low, middle and high. Take a look at the picture else it will be very confusing

So, if you set the knob on TOP of the device to a 3 and press the low button on the SIDE of the device the dog get a nick at the 3 level. If you press the middle button instead (again on the SIDE) the dog is now nicked at a 9 level. If you press the low and middle buttons together the dog is now nicked at a level 12. So, you are ramping the level at which your dog is being shocked very rapidly. The third button is colored red and will provide a continuous shock (for ~10 secs) at a high setting (keep in mind the knob on the top stays at a 3 in each of the scenarios I listed). This is VERY IMPORTANT in your training and let me give you a real scenario where this became CRITICAL.

My large dog was out in the woods and as I have mentioned she has an incredibly high prey drive. She saw a woodchuck and took off after it down a valley (this is after we got the e-collars but were still testing them out). She was off leash b/c of how well the e-collars worked out. She had the Tri-Tronics Pro 200 on that day. I use it at a "3" on the top of the device and press the low button to get her attention. So, I am nicking her at 16% of the full power. Once she had locked onto the Woodchuck and took off I could not get her attention at this setting or the middle setting. I was worried she would catch and kill the woodchuck and so I pressed the red button, again with the setting on the top remaining unchanged and still at 3 (Here it is 66% of full power). She came back squealing really quickly. This has been the ONLY time in a little over a year that I used the high setting on her and I have never had a problem stopping her with a NO voice command since. Had I had the Dogtra system I would have had to have fiddled with the knob first, raised the setting level, and then pressed the continuous shock button. In the heat of the moment I am quite sure I would not have gotten this right and it would have taken me longer because I would have been messing with device. With the Tri-Tronics set up you are pressing a large button, without even really looking at the device in your hand. So, I went from pressing one button to pressing one above it almost reflexive never taking my eye off my dog. I think if you are training you want there not to be a time lag of any kind so there is no confusion in the dogs mind. Also, in this instance, I was able to avoid an untoward incident. If you have an aggressive dog you need to be able to switch to the highest setting instantly, without taking your eye off the dog.

8. Both units clearly work well. I think the Tri-Tronics Pro 200 is a better unit. If you have a dog that you are considering euthanizing or giving up for adoption because of behavior issues PLEASE CONSIDER trying an e-collar Dogtra or Tritronics in conjunction with the video I mention above. You will find your dog changes dramatically within a week. If you follow the instructions and the prep work in the video to the letter the first 15 minutes where you actually use the e-collar on the animal will have a DRAMATIC impact on behavior. Please do the prep work, it takes about 2 weeks but the results are truly stunning.

It took us rescuing our little dog to actually look into an e-collar for the Shepherd-mix. I wish we had done this sooner because she now roams without a leash and really enjoys herself on walks where before she was always on leash. I am happy to report the two dogs are now best of friends and the little fella actually loves the Shepherd more than he does us.

It's not cheap, but it's worth every single penny. I have a young, very high energy dog with a strong hunting instinct. She _loves_ to run and needs to get a good run off leash every day for both her and us to stay happy. Before I got the collar, she just blindly followed her nose and chased anything that moved. It made it difficult to find places where she could safely run free and I had to be on guard all the time to make sure I spot anything that might be of interest to her before she did. With the collar she learned within a day or two that she needs to listen and obey commands even when she's not right next to me. I can now let her run off leash anywhere and I don't need to worry about kids, runners, dogs, or other animals. I love the system with multiple buttons that allows quickly changing the strength of the shock whithout fiddling with a dial. It's great. I set the strength of the shock low enough that with the lowest level button it does not really hurt. It only reminds the dog to behave, like a tug on a leash would (I tested it on myself). If that is not enough, the stronger middle button stops her. But I don't use it much and I've never had to use the highest level red "emergency break" button yet. It feels good though that it is there because it gives me the confidence that I can stop her any time, no matter what. For the most part, I now use only the green beeper button to call her when she gets too far or out of sight. No need to use the other buttons. She understands "no" and comes when called reliably, even if there are pretty strong distractions. I only wish it were possible to control the beeper (different tones, different lengths, or different number of beeps) so as I could use it for several different commands and not just "I want you to show up and check with me". The way it is, it produces only short beeps at a single frequency and you can't really tell how many times it beeped because you don't hear it (only the receiver on the dog's collar beeps, while the transmitter in your hand is silent). The transmitter and receiver are pretty well built. The dog gets wet with the collar regularly and sometimes goes even in salty water and there seems to be no harm. The transmitter is a little bulky, but it's not too bad. The battery both in the transmitter and the receiver lasts for a long time. I charge them only every few weeks. The dog loves her e-collar too. She knows that when I put it on her, she will able to run free and explore and I won't be nervously calling her each time she gets more than five yards from me.

Easy Walk Harness - Small Color: Black/Silver

Easy Walk Harness - Small Color: Black/SilverThe Easy Walk Harness is a godsend. Our little dog of only 16 lbs. used to be able to pull me as she is so strong. This is the 3rd harness that I have tried. IT DOES WORK! Now she can't pull because the strap that goes across her chest limits her. It is more enjoyable now to walk her every day. It is amazing how easy it works and not complicated to put on her. R.S.

This is an excellent product. I would have given it 5 stars but only rated it 4 due to the fact that the product does not state anywhere that short legged dogs can find a way to step out of the harness. Other than that, it is an excellent product!

Sporn Pack Leader Halter Small Black

Sporn Pack Leader Halter Small BlackUnfortunately, the nose piece keeps going over my dogs' eyes so I can't use the halters for fear of eye damage. Also unfortunately, I don't have the plastic packaging that the halters came in to return them. I found the halters to be very cumbersome and a much more complicated fit than the Gentle Leader. They are not easily adjusted either.

I need to find out how/if I can return them without the plastic packaging.

This head halter kept riding up on my dog's eyes so I can't use it at all. :( The Canny Collar worked well in the end (didn't want to spend $30 first but ended up wasting money on this). The problem is that there is no point returning it as the postage would be more than the actual product.

Every dog is different and this collar offers another fit and option. Especially good for those snub nose dogs or those dogs built a little lower to the ground. Other head collars attach the leash under the chin, but a dog who is low to the ground is always stepping on the leash. This gives you control and an attachment on top.

Want Sporn Pack Leader Halter Small Black Discount?

I tried 2 Snoot Loop brand harnesses, and 1 Gentle Leader brand. My terrier puppy destroyed them all in short time. This has two major advantages: 1. If you get it on correctly, it does not get near your dogs mouth. Not only does that solve the chewing problem, but seems to be more tolerable for the dog. 2. The leash attaches behind the neck almost like hooking onto a collar. The others hook below the chin, which makes the leash come out at an odd angle and cause more tangles than normal.

I am also pleased at how well made this is for the price. The hardware is all very solid. There is a little felt padding on the part that contacts the muzzle. I ordered this one for my wife, I got mine from another website. This one has nice little elastic bumps where the halter pulls out that help in putting it on.

Oh, and yes it does stop the dog from pulling. If you know anything about dogs, these three words will let you know what I am dealing with: abandoned terrier puppy; Like trying to walk a Tasmanian Devil. Slip this on and she prances like a show dog. After six months of use, she does remarkable well when only hooked to her collar. We are still primarily walking with the head halter.

A word of warning, though. Make sure the slider is cinched down fairly tight. She has slipped out on rare occasion.

10-Foot Open Tunnel

10-Foot Open TunnelMy puppy and I have been loving this tunnel for about two weeks. I set it up on the backyard patio so my pup can run thru it as we train. Its only been about 2 weeks, but the fabric that encases the wire hoop is quickly decomposing the wire is exposed. This is not on the inside due to the dog, its the outside apparently due to the elements. Sure you would think this would break down after spending maybe a full hot summer in the sun, but 2 weeks during fairly mild weather on a dry surface? You would think this material would be more resilient for outdoor use.

Kakadu Pet Empire Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, Small, 1/2" x 4-6ft, Fire (Red)

Kakadu Pet Empire Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, Small, 1/2' x 4-6ft, FireGood leash with no fancy bells and whistles. It is light enough for our smaller (20 lb.) dog, and the length is adjustable. Being nylon, it is vulnerable to being chewed if your dog is so inclined, but it's a very good leash.

I like how this leash can be expanded from 4 to 6 feet. It's the perfect size for a growing puppy. The 1/2 inch width is perfect for a smaller dog as well. The only reason I'm not using this anymore is because I had to upgrade to a bigger harness, and the D-ring on the new harness is too thick for the clasp on the leash. So just keep that in mind, that the connector on the collar or harness will need to be small enough to latch onto the leash clasp.

Small Slip Leash in Black

Small Slip Leash in BlackAfter raising and training 6 Labradors, I feel that this is the perfect solution for lead training, control, and gentle on the dog's coat. Slips on and off with total ease, and is thick enough so as to not choke the dog. I think it works best on larger dogs because of it's thickness.

I had used a training collar similar to a prong collar for my dog for quite sometime, but it got to the point where he no longer needed it. His flat collar worked ok, but I needed something that stayed at the top of his neck. This slip lead is perfect for that! It offers great control on walks since the leather piece keeps it in place. It is very comfortable for me to hold as well. It also shipped to my within 3 days of ordering it. I am VERY pleased with this product and would recommend it to dog owners who do not need a training coller, but still need a collar/eash that offers control.

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Medium, Deep Purple

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Medium, Deep PurpleI first discovered the Gentle Leader when I had my Rottie. He literally dragged me across the yard one day, and I was frustrated whenever I tried to walk him. He was a big, strong dog, and I wasn't going to win a pulling match with him (he weighed more than I did!). I tried a Gentle Leader, and suddenly I had control again. When you have control of the dog's head, he can't drag you or pull you around. With some practice, going for walks was pleasant again.

I now have two puppies, and they both pull when on the leash. I bought each of them a Gentle Leader, and after they both adjusted to their new gear (they both had temper tantrums the first few times they had to wear them), they both walk better on a leash. With additional training and practice, I know that they will both learn to walk in a mannerly fashion on the leash so that we can enjoy walks together.

works great for me and my dog. at first he didnt like it but is getting use to it. He doesnt pull and hurt my back like before so we are able to go for longer walks. I would recommend this for anyone that is trying to find a way to walk their dog with out the pulling

Love this headcollar, but our Puggle thinks he is being punished whenever we put it on him. As I have had cervical surgery, I haven't had the time to work with him yet. But once I get over my fear of being pulled over and doing a face plant on the concrete, I intend to get him used to it. If he weren't so 'round and fully packed' I would use treat to help. But, Pugs and Beagles are notorious over-eaters, and Gimli has a double dose of this bad trait!

Dog-Off Deluxe

Dog-Off DeluxeI have 2 dogs and purchased this product because once our dogs get barking, it's difficult for us to get them to stop. We didn't want to use a bark collar because we want them to know it's ok to bark and alert us, but want them to learn when to stop. The first time I used this product I knew it was working. They went quiet immediately. They seem a bit apprehensive after they hear it each time, but you can tell it's not hurting them. We have only used it about 6 times, but it seems to already be starting to have a positive effect. This product definitely works, but it is up to the owner to use it in appropriate situations for it to be a successful training tool.

Total scam. I wanted to use this for some particularly annoying and vicious dogs that live next door (on the other side of my fence). It had absolutely NO effect. But to test it further I took it along on a walk with my daughter's dog in her neighborhood. We encountered numerous dogs of various breeds, sizes and temperaments behind fences. It had absolutely no effect on any of them. At one point, we were walking on a sidewalk where a lab was tethered near a front porch. I wrongly assumed the owner would have tethered the animal so it wouldn't have reached the sidewalk. Wrong. As the dog charged towards us, I needed this device to work! When it didn't, I quickly retreated to the street with my daughter's dog. Still, the lab came into the street towards us! Had it not been for a last second kick to the lab's chops, it would have bitten my daughter's dog...or me. I'm not sure if I was more upset with the lab's owner, or this bogus product.

This product was successful in stopping dogs from barking at me while I walked my dog. Unfortunately, it had a negative effect on my dog as we approached houses with dogs, she would stop, not wanting to walk by them and get blasted by the device. I had to practically drag her past other dogs. I returned the product.
