PetSafe Wireless Fence Extra Transmitter

PetSafe Wireless Fence Extra TransmitterWe have two dogs that would not stay in the yard and did not listen to voice commands while outside. When the wireless fence was set up, the boundary flags placed, and each of the dogs walked around the boundary for just two days, each of the dogs tested the boundary. The collar was set at level 3 and although they ran through, it was uncomfortable for them. After being chased down and returned home the collars were set to level 5. They each decided to test the boundary again. It was the last time! They now play in the yard and do not test the boundary. We no longer have to worry about where they are or when they will return.

I have had two of these units for six months, having ordered a second one when I discovered our yard shape and size required two units with an overlapping pattern. This is so much better than our in ground wire fence that was impossible to maintain. Our two Weimaraners learned the system in a day and have not escaped once. I wish the batteries were not integrated in the cap design as they cost more as branded items. The controls are a little hard to reach on the transmitters; but very reliable technology. Set up is trickier for sloped yards, but I had it up and going in about 3 hours of trial and error. The ability to put two transmitters in to accommodate a peanut shaped yard is impressive. The collar settings and signals seem to work well with the way dogs think, and are lightweight, non pokey. I don't even need the shocker prongs anymore (just warning signal) but you can't remove the prongs without the collar falling apart.

I have 2 very large dogs and this is a GREAT device. I plugged it in, set up the flags, worked with my dogs a couple of days to get them familiar with the warning sound and then let them loose. They both got corrected ONCE and only ONCE. The 1st time I mowed the lawn I removed the flags and did not need to put them back, the dogs quickly learned the warning tone and immediately turn around. A positive is that it continues to correct until the dog returns to the safe zone; it is not like other units that stop correcting the dog once it breaks the correction line. Another positive is that I can just unplug it and take it with me when I travel because all I have to do is plug it in and put on the collars and we are ready to go. Batteries are expensive but whenever I take off the collar, I remove the battery. My dogs learned very quickly that when the collar goes on and the warning tone sounds they need to turn around and they do.

So far, this has been a good product keeping our dogs contained in a rental where we aren't allowed to put up a fence. There's one major problem, though, that Petsafe is content to let continue as is...the replacement batteries for the collars have the shortest battery life of any product I've ever purchased. Only two weeks, I purchased 12. Four came out of the packages completely dead. Two worked for two days before they started beeping incessantly while my poor little pooches were running frantically around the apartment with me scrambling after them to remove the collars.

Some people are removing the battery from the battery replacement unit and finding success with that. Since I sliced my hand attempting that method, I decided that should be a technique reserved for those with more advanced fine motor skills than I have.

Now, it is conceivable that this would be a supplier issue. However, after doing some research, I discovered that this is a common occurrence regardless of the supplier.

I'm not sure what to do next, but I figured I can at least inform future shoppers. You can decide if you want the ongoing frustration of finding replacement batteries before you are committed to the product.

This product works much better than the manufacturer claims. It is also more flexible in terms of terrain following, and can be configured in many more units than their staff claims. I have over twice the number of transmitters configured than the mfgr claims is possible, and it works great.

Iceland Pure Salmon Oil (8.75 oz)

Iceland Pure Salmon OilIceland Pure's Salmon Oil is just what I needed for my cats. Cats need essential omega's, and this product delivers. After using for two weeks, I'm starting to see less flaky, dry skin on my younger cat who is prone to skin problems. She is also complaining less, not digging and scratching as much. She is obviously happier. I also can't fail to mention that as far as fish oils go, this one isn't very smelly either. I also like the easy to disburse pump. It makes it easy to put the amount I need on their food. I love this stuff!

I use this for my 3 dogs that eat a raw prey-model diet. It's great for making up the extra Omega-3s since they don't get grass-fed meat. It's not quite odorless, there's still a slight smell, but not nearly as strong as other liquid fish oils I've tried. Very high quality oil, pressed at low temperatures and from wild caught fish, and heavy metal toxins are removed. I alternate between the Iceland Pure Salmon Oil and Iceland Pure Sardine/Anchovy Oil.

Genuine 1" Wide Thick Leather Studded Dog Collar. Fits 14"-17" Neck, Medium Breeds.

Genuine 1' Wide Thick Leather Studded Dog Collar. Fits 14'-17' Neck, Medium Breeds.Check your measurements on your dog before ordering.

This is cute collar, but too big for rat terrier which is who I bought it for. He's about 17lbs.

I don't mean to be obvious, but in the end, if you have quick access to a petstore, it is easier to just take your dog in. The way it bends made it uncomfortable, I ended up finding a slimmer, clothe collar, at the store.

ATC Long Range 1000M Remote Control Dog Training Shock Collar for 1 Dogs with 50 Levels of Tone, Vib

ATC Long Range 1000M Remote Control Dog Training Shock Collar for 1 Dogs with 50 Levels of Tone, Vibration and StimulationGreat product with really good features. Works very well on our very active dog. I consider this collar a good purchase and have suggested it to friends.

UPDATE May 17, 2012 -

-----

Well I am giving a update because the collar with the receiver is broken. It lasted until my German Shepherd got it caught into the fence. He yanked on it causing the side to break off. It was still useable but a few days later the receiver will not respond. I changed batteries, collaborated it with the remote and it will respond once, then stop. I would like to get another receiver but it does not say what model or one I need.

POSTED March 2012 -

------

I already had a training collar for my pooch but the buttons on the remote were not that good and would stick. Making it useless. So I decided to search for a newer replacement and a reasonable price. I ended up here. At the time there was no reviews on this product. I compared "Long Range 1000M Remote Control Dog Training Shock Collar for 1 Dogs with 50 Levels of Tone, Vibration and Stimulation" to a lot of other ones. I almost went with a $20 one but you couldn't change the level of the vibration and stimulation. So I bought this one. My one complaint is that it does not fit a small dog that well. The receiver is so large the poor dog cannot bend his neck well. The collar part is so darn long that I had to tape it to fit him. Now it says that it is a 50 level but it is actually a 99/100 level. There are 0-99 levels. 0 being it is off and 99 being the strongest. I love that it does work. The beep is a little odd, but the vibration catches his attention a lot. I did try the stimulation on him a couple of times and it is strong. The old one that I have he would listen to the loud sharp beep but this one he ignores it. It really isn't loud and sharp. It's odd. He sort of ignores the vibration but since the collar is so huge the stimulation does not always get him. I love the fact that the remote auto turns off. It does take 3 to 5 seconds for it to turn on but he learned from the button clicking and seeing the remote in my hand to stop doing what he is about to do. He is very visual so that works for me. One thing that was not mentioned that I like and sometimes it is a down fall is that the collar auto turns off after there is no movement. So even if I turn the remote back on the collar won't respond until my pooch moves. The loose sound in the collar when shook is a motion detector thingy. So when he gets up and moves it turns it back on. The downfall is about it for me is that sometimes my lil guy does not move very strongly for it. So the collar won't turn on until I shake it a little bit. Other than that, I do like this system. The buttons on the remote didn't get stuck and that is a plus with me. I say give it a chance. I did even though at the time there were no reviews. My husband was iffy but I liked what I read of the product. Also I found a video on Youtube about it.

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Medium, Black

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Medium, BlackBought this product because I couldn't find a Halti on amazon for the right price. After I got it we tried it a few times with the dog, adjusting different things, and it kept slipping up her face and across her eyes. Not nearly as good as the Halti.

Unfortunately since it had been two weeks, the amazon seller wouldn't take it back. I was very disappointed with that and probably would keep me from purchasing from that seller again.

Save yourself some headache and get a Halti.

East Side Collection Nylon Polka Dot Dog Lead, 6-Feet, RaspberryI needed an extra leash to keep in my car. This one arrived quickly, is as durable as my full-time leash, and is super cute. No problems with this or the matching collar.

Good deal for the price but as cute as it is, the colors aren't exactly what I'd planned. It's a much brighter pink and green than online. At least they'll see my dog coming!

Mountain Rope Choke Collar 24 Inch - Royal Blue

Mountain Rope Choke Collar 24 Inch - Royal BlueLook at the picture of the product, See the metal crimp at each end that is used to create the loop? The one that goes through the ring is the problem. When the collar is opened to its max, i.e. ring to ring, the crimp lies inside of the choke ring. If there is any kind of tension from the pull/leash end and the crimp comes into contact with the choke ring, it binds and can't be pulled through. It renders the choke collar to a fixed length collar. I've tried yanking at the leash but that didn't work. The crimp does a great job at binding with the ring. Very annoying.

Innotek Automatic No-Bark Collar, Rechargeable

Innotek Automatic No-Bark Collar, RechargeableWe bought this collar for our English setter/Springer Spaniel mix who loves to bark. It came with a CD-rom, an extra set of prongs (for longer haired dogs) and a battery charger, which we wanted. A red light illuminates when the collar is shocking or resetting itself as well as if it needs recharging, which we liked. The length of the black nylon collar is very long so you can cut it to fit. We also liked the fact the collar is water resistant too.

We didn't think the bark collar was working as our dog continued to bark even after a week of wearing it so we called Innotek who had a very knowledgeable customer service rep. She advised us how to test it on ourselves and it did shock my husband so it was, in fact, working. However, our dog continues to bark with the collar on, especially if there is someone at the front door. I guess he just endures the discomfort. We were hoping for a miracle cure to his barking, but unfortunately, this hasn't been it.

An additional word of caution: We bought this collar through an Amazon.com vendor because it had the best price. When we called Innotek (the manufacturer) for advice, they advised ut that the vendor was not an authorized Innotek dealer. I don't know if this would void the warranty or not???

my neighbors came out and complained that their 5 year old kid cant play in the back yard cuz he is afraid of my dog. my year old boxer is all bark. since he was a little guy he had an above average bark. i have 6 foot brand new fence around the whole yard and they still complain. for the first like 3 days i gave up on the bark collar. my dog still never stopped barking and the thing was fully charged. i tried it on myself and nothing. the instructions say to test to see if it is working, to rub it on a non glass surface, creating vibrations. the light started going crazy and i tried it on myself. startled the crap out of me as i tried to make it work on me like 30 times, but this time i was 100% sure it worked. so i put it back on my hommie. he went on a barking rampage and it shocked him. how could i tell? was it the look like he needed to scratch it off his neck? no it was the dog running away squawking. i felt terrible but it scared me just as bad when i tried it on myself. after that day he was over the scared feeling. everytime i put his collar on he wont bark at all but hes smart enough to know when i take it off hes open game. i really dont think he minds wearing at all anymore. i just make sure i put it on him whne i leave the house and take it off when i get home. i have a pit bull as well and they play all day and tug on each other by the collar ALL DAY and the collar is still alive about 2 months later so i would give it a 5 on durability.

I have purchased 4 other bark collars ranging from Citronella to sound and they all suck compared to this one. I would never buy any other brand and the fact that this collar is rechargeable is huge. I used to burn through batteries in less than a week. No more batteries and no more barking...a double wammy!!!

Works great! I like that it senses vibrations from your dog rather than sound His old collar would shock him when his sister would bark no fair.

Want Innotek Automatic No-Bark Collar, Rechargeable Discount?

This collar seems to work well, comes with good documentation, but if you have a barky dog, u have to recharge it alot. The rechargeable battery feature is by far the best selling point, making it much more economical than most other brands with the disposable batteries. The dog is definitely quiter, but if the dog does go on a roll barking, he can usually defeat the collar. It's worth the money, and works most of the time...

Dis-Taste and Extra Strength Dis-Taste 1 lb Chewables Med/Large Dog (5 gram, approx 90)

Dis-Taste and Extra Strength Dis-Taste 1 lb Chewables Med/Large DogBoth my Golden Retrievers seem to have a real affinity for poop so I've tried countless products with the hope of success. A couple seemed to work to some degree but most had no impact whatsoever. Unfortunately, "Extra Strength Dis-Taste" produced an opposite effect. Whatever the ingredients are, my girls sure did take to it. I suppose I can look back on the bright side as I had very little cleaning up to do in the yard. I figure that sooner or later I may get lucky. However, it certainly wasn't this time.

Innotek Contain-INN-ZND1000 Extra Zone

Innotek Contain-INN-ZND1000 Extra ZoneItem was exactly as described and it arrived quickly. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to contain their dog in the home. We have two dogs that need to be separated when they are fed. This works great. We also have two other zone discs that we use to keep the dogs off the living room furniture, one in each doorway. We have the outside fence system so they are very familiar with the beeping warning. Helpful info: Don't move the zone disc or change the area it covers or it confuses the dogs. they are very easily moved while vacuuming, walking by them or curious kids. We find that as long as they are in plain site the dogs can handle slight changes since they associate the disc with the correction and learn to stay a certain distance from it.

C CHAIN RUBBER TIPS MED 18PK

C CHAIN RUBBER TIPS MED 18PKProng collars work by simulating the pinch/bite of another dog to your dog's neck, but sometimes that pinch is a bit more than you need for a sensitive pup. The comfort tips are just the thing in that situation.

NOTE: if your dog is leery of the collar when you put it on, or he squeals or whines when corrected by the collar, you may have an overly sensitive drama queen dog...but normally a dog isn't afraid of the collar and it doesn't cause pain. Such behavior actually suggests a different problem than lack of comfort . So, first thing, you should make certain that the collar is fitted properly. There should be only one to two inches of slack to the collar when it is on the dog. Too much slack makes the correction too harsh. I found this out the hard way. Also be sure you do NOT put the collar on over his head! (If you have it the proper size, you can't anyway.) I use a prong collar with a clip; but you can separate the links to put it on the dog as well. And be sure you aren't pulling hard on the leash. If you correct the dog, a gentle tug should be sufficient; in general, the dog corrects himself when he lunges against the collar.

Beefeaters Sweet Potato Fries, 2-Pound Resealable Bag

Beefeaters Sweet Potato Fries, 2-Pound Resealable BagI read ingredients SO carefully. In my local pet store I decided to get my boys something different and bought them this treat. Checked the ingredients and they seemed fine. Brand is "Beefeaters USA". After a few weeks my dog was vomiting, had bloody stool, and drinking a lot of water. Five hundred dollars later after xrays and blood panels he came back cancer-free and with nothing blocking his system.

Puzzled, I googled some of the brands of treats I was feeding them, and information on the organic dog food I feed them. Beefeaters is made in China AND is on the list of tainted dog treats. Thinking it was only chicken jerky I did not think to check.

I learned the hard way. I will now either make their treats or make sure it is safe before buying.

I was originally drawn to these bc I am vegan (my two dogs are not). But I like the idea of at least having vegan treats for them. My two freak out over these! One of my dogs is generally very timid, but when he hears the crinkle of this bag he get's so excited and his little eyes light up like he's a kid on christmas. it's so cute. A little pricey but worth it. Also the 'fries' are long. The first time we were running low I thought to get out the scissors and make 1 treat into two or three. They are still a decent sized when cut. I bet you could train your dog to wash dishes with these promise of one of these treats.

Iris Training Pad Holder, Regular

Iris Training Pad Holder, RegularI purchased this tray for my 3 Pound Maltese puppy and I love it. It is nice, neat and clean looking. I use the OUT pads with it and have taught the puppy to "Leave It" when he started to pull on the edges of the pad. After only 5 days of training he knew the pad was not a toy and is fully house trained now.

I bought the medium size so that I can move it a little daily and eventually into and extra bathroom closet that it will fit and be out of sight.

I have also used the quilted WEE WEE pads with this tray and they work but I like the lower cost of the OUT pads better.

Perfect schedule for me and Puppy food, clean water and new pad at breakfast...food, clean water and new pad at dinner

I was excited to try this product to hold down the pee pads my puppies love to shred, but the tray ended up helping very little. The tray effectively holds the pads down, but one small tug from either puppy and the pad becomes easily dislodged around the edges. After that, it's either shredded or folded over for me to find later. I was surprised that the plastic piece on top with the closures did not create a tighter seal. I'm not sure I would buy this model again.

This product is great but only if you're having problems with you puppy or dog pulling are tearing up their potty paper. My Puppy won't use it at all other than digging at the paper pinned into it; on the other hand she uses the potty paper right next to it all the time. As I said it works great holding the paper in place.

Our puppy used to play with the pee pads after she did her business on them, spreading and smearing the stuff all over the dining room floor. Our friend recommended this thing and it does what its supposed to do hold the pad in place. Now, cleaning/changing the pad is quick and easy. She still tries to pull the pad out, but she cannot, as it still holds the pad in place, saving us from cleaning up a big mess.

Want Iris Training Pad Holder, Regular Discount?

We bought this Iris Medium Floor Protection Tray to go with our regular size Iris Training Pads, and it works great for protecting the floor. The problem, though, is that the mechanism that attempts to secure the pads does not adequately hold them in place. Our puppy easily grabs onto the pad and pulls it from the tray. In order to fix this, I have started to tape down the pads at the corners before snapping the top ring in place. This seems to work better. I think this tray might work better if it were a little smaller so that it grabs the thicker part of the pads rather than the very thin edge of the pads. With the addition of tape on the corners of the pads, this tray is doing the job of protecting our floors quite well.
