Pro-Training Treats 5oz

Pro-Training Treats 5ozMy dog loves these treats! I put them inside the Everlasting Treat Ball and he loves getting through the first cookie to get to the treats inside. The flavors are varied and he doesn't get tired or bored with the tastes. You can also divide the treats in half to make them smaller and I use them that way both inside the treat ball and as training treats. This is a great product which comes packaged in a zip-lock foil bag so the treats stay fresh for a long period of time...if you can keep them away from your dog long enough! I will buy this again because my dog likes them and because I like to vary his treats.

I buy different types of treats for my dogs and keep them all in a large Rubbermaid container on top of the fridge. The dogs go nuts every time I reach for that box. I think they enjoy the variety because after I give them their treat they still look at me like "what else is she gonna give us" and sometimes I swear it's more like "but mom, I don't like that kind, I want the other one".

I mix all kinds of mainly dental treats together in the box. Rawhide sticks (all colors and flavors, not just green ones), Greenies, Dingos, CET and also use some rawhide bones. These treats help scrape plaque from their teeth while chewing before tarter can form if given after meals or once a day. My dogs do not get soft food or treats unless we are training. Saving soft treats for training makes them want it all the more and the hard food is better for their teeth and digestion.

I have a Miniature Pinscher and 2 Pomeranians that are prone to tooth loss so taking care of their teeth is very important to me. My oldest Pomeranian is 6 years old and just had his first professional cleaning and that was mainly because it is hard for me to get his back teeth because his mouth is so tiny.

They love when they see the bag of treats come out of the cupboard because they now it's the soft stuff or the small one bite treats and they are more receptive to training and their sessions go much faster.

I would recommend these treats as part of a variety. Mix it up so your dog doesn't get bored and use different shapes to get different angles on their teeth.

Thanks!

I bought these treats as a filler item to get "free" $25 shipping on a purchase. Turns out my dog loves these treats. She's nuts about them and when I open the package the cat comes running too! I will definately have to buy more.

StarMark Every Flavor Treats / B0009YF43U

My puppy is in treat training, so we have plenty of different treats on hand. I slice them thinly for training, so that he doesn't get too satiated in training and so that his weight won't become unhealthy. I really didn't need any new treats for training, and certainly not these treats that work out to almost a dollar an ounce! But we recently bought the Everlasting Fun Treat Ball and found out, after it arrived, that our regular treats would not fit in the new ball. These treats were recommended for filling the ball. I hate to throw good money after bad, but I thought maybe these would be a fun enough diversion that it would be a worthwhile treat for the puppy, so I went ahead and bought some.

The good news is that these treats do fit in the Everlasting Fun ball almost as if the ball were made with these treats in mind! The treats slide in between the "teeth" of the ball opening easily, and the teeth don't catch at the treat (and my fingers) as they had in previous attempts to fill the ball. The treats are also very pretty, the different colors and flavors are neat for us humans to look at. The bad news is that the colors and flavors seem lost on my puppy, who much prefers his Omega ball, with its puppy kibble and occasional freeze-dried liver piece. He'll play with the Everlasting Fun treat ball and these treats if I give it directly to him, but when left to his own devices, he'll go back to his liver-laced kibble. I was expecting these treats to be exciting enough to hold his interest, but he seems kind of bored with them, and he seems to eat the treats more because they are there and less because they entice him definitely not like the four or five other types of treats we use.

This 5 oz. bag will fill our Everlasting Fun ball at least twice and maybe three times, but the ball is small enough that this isn't terribly impressive. Since he doesn't seem terribly interested in the treats, I'm thinking about slicing them up and adding them to his food, just to keep them from going to waste.

These are the best treats for training and rewarding since they are so small in size. I put some in my pocket and off we go for some sit, stay and heel lessons. I give them 4 stars since I truly do not know how great they taste. :-)

Clean Go Pet Graffiti Puppy Pads Quantity: 200 Package

All w/p puppy pads are a real floor and carpet saver but surely, SURELY, this price of nearly ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for 200 puppy pads is a misprint by AMAZON.

Dogtra D280NCP Platinum Training Collar, Part No. 280NCP (Product Group: Remote Training Collars)

Dogtra D280NCP Platinum Training Collar, Part No. 280NCPI've owned this collar for 3 years now and I am just purchasing my first replaceable battery for it. This is fully adjustable from nothing to a shock that made me cringe. I tried shocking myself before shocking my dog and I am afraid to set it over 100.

The vibrate button on this collar is great, I rarely have to nick my dog any more. After training her (vibrate, vibrate then nick) she associated the vibrate with the nick and a simple vibrate will get her to return to me from any distance with or without a line of sight.

Also, I've had this collar underwater countless times and it has held up. My dog loves to swim and sometimes goes a little to far out into lakes. A vibrate makes her turn around and head back in my direction every time.

I am leaving a review because of the negative review I saw. I am a very happy customer and even happier to find that the batteries are replaceable so I felt I needed to comment on it.

The receiver broke off the collar after 3 months. Not a high quality product as the price would suggest. Definitely make sure you keep your receipt.

Dogit Nylon Dog Muzzle

Dogit Nylon Dog Muzzle, Black, X-Small/3.9-InchThanks this is the perfect size for my chihuahua. She sometimes gets nippy when I am clipping her nails and now she cant bite me anymore. thanks

item sucks does not give any instrutions on how to put on. and i have a very tiny dog and it does not go on its nose.. so it is of no good to anybody

I bought this thinking it would help shut my dog up. I have a Morkie that like to bark a lot. I tried one of the bark collars but that didn't do squat.

This honestly didn't help, he was still able to bark even with it on. It's the perfect size for him, wasn't too big. Maybe hes just a ventriloquist. Either way, it looked terrible on him, I felt bad for even having it on him. Reminded me of "The Silence of the Lambs"

But the functionality of the product is to keep your dog from biting and barking, which I'm sure it would stop him from biting, so it does half of its job. "Permits drinking and panting" great for long term, and probably a must, but for the barking side of things, I think having the extra slack allows them to bark.

Over all it's really a decent product. It might work better on bigger dogs, but the XS size still allows barking on small dogs.

decent muzzle but still enough room for the dog to chew and get into stuff, wish the part where the mouth is was adjustable.

Bought this for Service Dog Training & its a bit big on my 50 lbs. Blk Lab Service Dog trainee but she is young & will grow into it, when I ordered it the sizing info was a tad lacking so it was a gamble. I'am sure amazon would have let me return it but the cost for it was less than what it cost me in gas to drive it to the post office & lucky for me my Grannie taught this ole boy to sew & with a few stitches its fits good as new. My opinion is this is more of a 60 to 70 pound fit range for adult dogs like Rotts.

Adjustable Car Harness

Guardian Gear X-Large Nylon Car Dog Harness, BlackThis helps keep your pet safe in those sudden driving moments and also keeps the pet in the back seat instead of trying to climb up front with the driver. The material is like that of genuine human safety seats and we enjoy using the harness aspect independently when we walk our dogs. There is a metal loop for leash clips to latch on to. When we are done with our walks, the dogs are just unclipped from the walking leash and clipped to the short length of leash that remains attached to the seat buckle and viola! They are safely buckled in!

I bought 2 of these, a large for my 65+pound pit and a XL for my 85pound pit. put them in the backseat of my car and it works very well, i set it the the shortest possible leash because they have a urge to either put there head in the middle of jump on the floor. works good, felt very secured, and the front part of the harness that straps to the chest all the way down is comfortable for them so it leaves no marks. great product. great price.

Pet Safe RFA-188 3v Battery, Economy, 4-Pack

Pet Safe RFA-188 3v Battery, Economy, 4-PackI now have two dogs with a dog collar that requires these batteries. I have two complaints about these batteries....they are too expensive and DON'T last very long. I did however buy a 4 pack for a really good price through Amazon. If I buy these at the local battery store, they cost ~ $12 a piece....so I did save alot of money!!!

Amazon purchase) I have 3 small dogs and the Petsafe Bark collors really work when I'm not home. The 4-pack price is much cheaper then having to buy them at the single price.

I used to go to the store at least once a month to purchase my dogs bark collar batteries. They are usually $11 a pop. I was able to find this bargain with 4 batteries. Now I won't have to make four separate trips when the batteries go dead. I think I saved around $5 on the batteries in total, but I saved more in gas and transportation to go buy these batteries.

Tri-Tronics Sport Combo G3 Training Collar

Tri-Tronics Sport Combo G3 Training CollarThis collar is a fantastic aid for training dogs, as long as you read the manual. It is imperative that you know what you are doing and only utilize the stimulation in appropriate conditions. I also advise testing out the stimulation levels on your arm so you know what kind of shock your dog is getting on their neck. I appreciate the extra levels because I never want to use too much power, but the operation of this particular transmitter can take some getting used to. You want to find a stimulation level that gets your dogs attention, but the dog SHOULD NOT yelp or even make any noise. (The manual for the old one suggested that after your dog was used to wearing the collar on and off for two weeks with no stimulation you can hide somewhere out of sight and test the lowest level of stimulation. If their ears perk up, or they cock their head, then you have a baseline.)

As for the product itself, this COMBO model's transmitter is a little more confusing than the BASIC or UPLAND models, as it has more levels of stimulation (and as such one more dial on the front.) My older model had just two buttons and a single dial. In this case, the added complexity coincides with added features, and as such, is excusable. As with my previous Tri-Tronics collar, it is basically bulletproof. You can submerge it, take it to the beach, do whatever you want to it, and it will keep on working.

One gripe is that the transmitter is not rechargeable instead it takes 9v batteries but some people might prefer that, so it is not worth taking off a star. All told, I highly recommend this collar on the condition that you take it upon yourself to learn how to use it properly. If you use it responsibly, you will see marked results. (If you do not, you will have a scared dog that simply stands next to you in terror when you put the collar on...)

This training collar allowed my six year old son to connect with a dog I have had for nearly a year and he had been scared to death of! In just a thirty minute session they were hanging out with each other like best friends. Our female border collie had a terrible habit of jumping up on him, tearing his clothes and painfully scratching. All is gone with this collar. Extramely humane when used correctly. Even the dog seems to have a happier outlook now that she understands her boundaries.

As far as theproduct itself, the transmitter and recieving collar are rugged and well made. Made in USA too!

Jumped in the lake with the Sport Combo still attached to my belt. As this is a primary tool for retriever training and states that it is waterproof, I find it completely unacceptable that the unit allowed enough water into the transmitter to corrode the battery and short the internal electronics.

I give three stars because it did work as advertised in all other areas. It deserves a HUGE knock because many hunters use this product in environments where the unit will be continuously submerged, as all retrievers are water dogs and wherever the dog goes, the owners are close by. I only had the unit for one day, it had not been knocked around, and I even purchased the protective carrying case for it for about $15.

I contacted Tri Tronics and they stated that the transmitter was waterproof but should not be submerged for long periods of time. They immediately shipped a replacement transmitter to me and said that a return package for the damaged transmitter would be enclosed in the box that the replacement would come in.

I recently purchased the Sport Combo G3 collar from my breeder/trainer. Now my dog was trained for 2 months by the trainer before my picking her up and using this collar. I first must say, that my puppy before training and after training was a complete 180. This definitely gave me the head start I needed. Over the past few days, I have been using the G3 collar (only when necessary however keeping it on her most of the time). Most of the time she will react with a simple "no", as she knows what the consequences are. I use one of the lowest settings (which I have applied to myself first), which seems to do the trick. I think that these collars, when used correctly (and not abusively) make a big difference in the training of one's dog.

It has the ability to train 3 dogs at once (a feature I don't use), but is also water proof (which will be nice when at the dog beach or any other wet weather).

Update (04/01/2013)

I have now had this collar for over 6 months and still love it. I have it on my lab all of the time (whether I need to use it or not)., except when I have to leave her or when she goes to sleep for the night. It seems that just having the collar on has an effect on my dogs behavior. It has really resulted in so much more freedom for her. I take her in the car on multiple occasions, and take her to the park at night and dog beach (which being waterproof is a great feature) as well. She is very well behaved off leash, and will remain in a sit positions when other dogs approach until I let her know its ok to run over to them. However, she was initially trained by the breeder. I would never have another lab without one if these.

Ruff Riders Roadie Canine Vehicle Safety and Training Harness - Size Medium2

Ruff Riders Roadie Canine Vehicle Safety and Training Harness - Size Medium2I made the mistake of buying a cheaper product, and it broke with normal wear and tear. I'm so glad it was never put to the real test of an accident. So, I was pleased that this product has no fasteners to break, just very high quality nylon(?). Also, I followed the measurements, but the first one I ordered ended up fitting too snugly (making getting it on/off impossible). Unless your dog is in the lower range for the chest area, size up. You will appreciate being able to slip it on and off and you can tighten the fit up with a couple of adjustment straps.

I have to give 5 stars for the QUALITY of the product. However, I think the manufacturer does a very poor job with guidance on sizing. My female Ridgeback (built a little masculine) measured perfectly into the middle of the Medium2 range. However, she would have had to be quite the contortionist to make it in and out of it regularly. I had to order a large to actually humanely use it. Can't comment on service for returns, as I was not willing to pay return shipping on an item that I ordered exactly to spec. I will sell it to one of my friends.

I think this would be a wonderful harness, but I have been unable to fit it to my dog. The range of measurements given does not correspond to what fits. My dog was on the lower range of chest measurement for the size I purchased, but I couldn't even get it on her because it was too small. I figured it was just a goof-up, but the replacement was just the same, and I conformed that I was getting the right size. Very frustrating, as I know the product design is terrific as far as its safety features are concerned.

I measured my dog exactly as the video indicated (on the actual ruffrider website). When it actually came in the mail, the Medium 1 harness barely fit my dog. It was way too tight to even get on his head and slip under his chest. Although this may be a safe harness, the hassle and annoyance of mis-sizing makes it not worth it at all. I am still in search of the perfect harness

I'd go zero stars if I could. I ordered 2 of these. A "Medium1" and a "Medium2" for both my pit bulls (male 31" chest, female 27" chest"). I couldn't get the Medium2 to fit the larger dog so I tried it on the smaller dog. I barely managed to fit this on her but the strap to secure was still way, way, way to short. She would not even be able to sit. She would have to lay down
