Wet Noses Little Stars Sweet Potato Organic Dog Training Treats, 9-Ounce

Wet Noses Little Stars Sweet Potato Organic Dog Training Treats, 9-OunceThese stars are small, so you can give 10-15 of those in one training session. I tried to train our dog with "Ceaser dog treats", it just made our puppy hyper. If you compare the ingredients, you will know why. Little stars has just basic food ingredients without any preservatives and food coloring. Sweet potato flavor also did not make my hand smell like dog food.

These are the BEST treats for training and rewarding your dog for being good while grooming. Lower in calories and loved by all the doggies. Sweet potatoes seem to be their favorite Wet Noses treat!

I love these treats for training. They are small enough that my dog can eat a lot of them without getting full. They also smell delicious!

Male Doggy Wrap Black - Small

Male Doggy Wrap Black - SmallThis is the only wrap that doesn't leak. And, you can save money by using heavy Kotex inside the wrap instead of buying the ones they try to sell with the wrap. The only caution is to not go by the pounds listed on the sizing chart because that doesn't work well for small dogs. Instead, measure your dog's girth and get the info. from Sam's website before ordering. My 13 pound Bichon wears a medium, not a small.

I've tried others and this wrap is waterproof and comfortable for the dog. Highly recommended!

Most comfortable wrap I've found for my male dogs that like to mark their territory in the house. It's flexible, not too thick and easily washed. For the absorbent part, I use a regular human baby diaper (size 2-3), turn it long ways, fold the elastic edges back on themselves (to make a long rectangular strip out of the diaper) and then wrap that around the dog's abdomen, securing it with the diaper tabs)--the dog wrap provides extra security and also "hides" the diaper so it's not so obvious.

In terms of sizing, dimensions of the wrap are listed on the amazon site, which is helpful. I purchased a "small" for my 12 lb chihuahua, who measures about 17 1/2 inches around. Bear in mind that the length is the MAX length of the wrap, so there is a several inch span of velcro to allow for adjusting. If your little boy measures 17-18" around, it will be pretty snug with the majority of velcro exposed, so you may want to consider going up to the medium.

Our dog weighs 9 pounds and this was supposed to be a small size, however, it was too small and we were not able to use it.

These run VERY small in comparison with other belly bands. If you choose this particular product I strongly suggest buying a larger size than you initially think.

Guardian Martingale Pet Collar - Blue

Guardian Gear Small Martingale Dog Collar, 5/8-Inch, BlueI've bred and shown Shelties for a number of years. I prefer this collar to all others for training; it's much safer than a regular choke collar but offers some of the same precise feedback and control for the dog. In addition, a puppy or "balky" dog can't back up and literally back out of this collar. It's lightweight, and I actually like the metal chain "live ring" section better than the all-nylon martingales. It's easier to see what you're doing and where to hook the leash; there's no question as to which section goes over the dog's head; and the links are a lot more flexible than the straight nylon, especially in the larger sizes. A winner.

The collar looked nice when it was new, but after a couple of months the chrome finish started to flake off and the fur on my dog's neck was turning black from the chain rubbing on it -even though the collar was not too tight. Decided to go with a martingale collar without the chain.

Our dog is barely 50 lbs, and the martingale collar ring that we clip our long 60 ft dog run to has elongated noticeably in the first few months, and the chrome plating chipped off. The copper/bronze color below it is rough and has slightly discolored our dog's fur. We are replacing it with a different brand. If you only use this on a short leash held by a person, it would probably be satisfactory, but not for a dog run.

This type of collar was new to me. These are also called greyhound or humane collars. We have a Sheltie, and her head is small in relation to her neck, so she can pull her head right out of anything but a choke collar or a halter. The Martingale collar pulls tight when needed, but is more comfortable for the dog because most of the collar is made of fabric instead of chain. This works like a charm, and would have also been great for my miniature pinscher (skinny neck, small head).

Lupine 1 Inch Bling Bonz 24-38 Inch

Lupine 1 Inch Tail Feathers 24-38 Inch No Pull Harness for Medium to Large DogsI have two 1 1/2 yr old Labs that I walk together. Both are very strong. One wants to chase every squirell in town. Having this makes my life so much easier. I tried the Halti Collar, but that was troublsome, because it bothered him he wanted to rub his nose on the ground causing irritation to his snout and pink eye from getting dirt and who knows in his eye. This is perfect. Seems to be comfortable for both dogs. Just do NOT use with choke collar.

Large Pet Cot with Mesh Panel in Crimson

Guardian Gear 600D Polyester/PVC Elevated Pet Cot with Mesh Panel, Large, CrimsonThe concept is fantastic, but the quality is terrible! I purchased one of these from a local pet store, because I wanted instant gratification and it was the only brand available locally. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A BETTER BRAND! My elderly boxer/lab mix loves this bed...but it began ripping at the seams within ONE WEEK of use, and now, after less than a month, it is full of holes, just from my dog sitting on it. I purchased the XL, and my sweet old guy only weighs about 60 lbs now, and he doesn't chew or "dig." He has simply slept on it and it has disintegrated. The only reason I even gave it one star is because he loves it. I'll be getting another raised bed, but NOT another one of these!

I ordered this for our dog who weighs 62 pounds. I ordered the larger size so the dog would have plenty of room to stretch out. It has only been used a few times & the stitching in the middle near the mesh is already coming apart in a very critical area. The concept is good for keeping your dog cool but the quality of this bed is not what I expected.

I actually purchased this product at another vendor because they had other items I needed, but they do not provide for a review and it's the same product, so here goes. Our dog (70lb golden retriever) was hit by a car and had spinal cord inflammation, so he couldn't walk and did not have control of any function below his waist. We tried making him a bed out of several different things (pillows, bed covers, etc) but since he was incontinent we would frequently find him soaked and being a large dog it was very hard to get him up, clean him, dry him, get him back in bed, etc. We ordered this cot and it was PERFECT!! Easy to set up, lightweight and the mesh allowed us to place puppy training pads below so no more soaked dog or wet floors. We also took some caster wheels, removed the rubber feet and put them on and voila! a rolling bed so we could just wheel our dog outside and save our backs. We would also use it as a gurney to take him to vet visits. As he slowly recovered the use of his legs, he would get out of it on his own, get back in and be wheeled inside again. This product has been a big help in our long ordeal!! I highly recommend it.

I bought this cot for my 120 lb. dog when we go camping. Boo uses it when we are all sitting outside. He LOVES it! I like that it gets him up off the ground and the mesh panels allow cool air to circulate around him. My daughter's dog, Chance (lab mix) tried it out and didn't want to get off the cot! Chance now has his own cot. Chance weighs 82 lbs., but my daughter bought him the xlarge because he likes to stretch out.

The material is very strong and the mesh holds up to toenails even when Boo or Chance is in a sitting position. The cot does not tilt or flip when the dogs get on or off. The cot is well-made and sturdy. It is also easy to wipe clean or you can machine wash it when necessary. It sets up/tears down quickly. The only problem we've encountered is that neither my daugher or I are strong enough to lock in the end bars...our husbands have to do it. Also, it would be nice if it folded, but it does go up/down quickly.

This is a great product and we (especially the dogs) highly recommend it!!!

So far my dog is not interested in using this product. It came with mold (?) on it. I had to wipe it down and there are black stains on it too. I would not buy this product again. For the money the product is in poor condition.

Midwest Black Polyester Crate Cover for Wire Crates

Midwest Black Polyester Crate Cover for 42 Inch Wire Crates, 42 Inches by 28 Inches by 30 InchesIt covered the kennel until she pulled it apart.

I agree with the other reviewer that it is flimsy material. It's like umbrella material. However, I knew this when I bought it. We have a husky/lab mix, she is about 40 pounds. We used it to help keep her quiet at night when she is supposed to sleep. It did it's job well for 2 months.

She would pick at the edges she could get and once she pulled enough the velcro that keeps the sides together (3 pieces on each corner side) would just easily pull apart. She pulled the entire thing in her kennel when we left last week for a few hours, and when we returned she was uncovered, and had literally ripped the entire front flap off the cover.

Yes, it is her fault, however, this could be made more sturdy. We know dogs chew, and are going to do whatever they find interesting. My suggestion would be to have the back completely stitched so there is no flap (our kennel has one door) and to have zippers on the front flap so there is less ability to easily undo it and pull it in.

We are going to look for another cover, but overall this one did its job well for 2 months.

This product was poorly designed. A thin material that had velcro to attach the sides together. When the front or side was open as it was designed to be, the panel was placed across the top of the crate and exposing sloppy seams with lose threads all over. Furthermore, the fit was not exact. It was about 2 inches too short and didn't go to the ground to cover the entire crate.

I returned the product without any issues.

I have to say I am surprised at the poor reviews on this crate cover. I have two already and just ordered a third! I love them, They are light weight and easy to store. They clean up well and I love the Velcro corners. They fit the crates well and do everything I could ask of them! Great product!

Arrived very quickly and was the product as described. Works perfectly as a cover for my dog's crate. Had tried blankets and towels, but my puppy would chew and pull on them. This stays put and he doesn't seem interested in playing with it (yay, something he won't chew on...!)

Four Paws On Target Trainer Wee-Wee Pad Holder for Dogs

Four Paws On Target Trainer Wee-Wee Pad Holder for DogsThis product really saves your floors. I would recommend it. Fits most pad liners. Good purchase. Does what it suppose to do.

This product was a lifesaver for my little chiweenie! I adopted her from a shelter when she was 3 month's old and she had no training at all! She is very stubborn and impossible to train, so I had no luck house training her outside. She would go 12 hours without pottying because she refused to use the grass, so I got some puppy pads and started using them on my enclosed back porch. She caught on to the pads quickly, but sometimes missed. I saw this item at petsmart and it has been well worth it (although $10 higher there). I would definitely recommend this product for training or a permanent solution.

I just got these delivered today. Even with the mixed reviews, this thing works great. I bought 2 of these, one for my living room, and one for my bathroom, and my puppy already started using them right away. It keeps him from missing the pad and sometimes soaking through the pad and dampening the floor was a problem. But not anymore! It fits perfectly with the Wee Wee puppy pads from Four Paws. I highly recommend this to small dog owners who are too busy to walk your dog outside every time they need to "go".

I have two of these and love them. It keeps my 3-month-old puppy from getting to the edges and just missing the pad and going part on the pad and part on the floor. It also allows me to get cheaper wee-wee pads that can leak through to the floor or carpet if I didn't have this. It snaps together in a breeze and stays together. It's very easy to clean and she knows just where both of her potties are at all times. I would highly recommend this for anyone with a smaller dog wanting to save on the pads that can get really expensive and wanting to keep their dog on the pad. I don't think it would work so well with larger dogs...but I can't really say because mine is only about 4 pounds. But it works great for us.

I own 3 of thes trainer peepee pad holders.

Canine Equipment

Canine Equipment 1-Inch Large No Pull Dog Harness, BlackI have a pit/shepherd mix so when she isn't pulling me down the street...she is pulling me down the street to sniffing something. I got this harness because all the other ones I have gotten her always leave marks afterwards especially if I take her hiking. This harness is kick ass and is perfect for any dog who pulls and you can leave it on them even when they are not on a leash because it is so comfortable. On top of this being a great product I would like to say the seller is just as great. I ordered the wrong size and when I wanted an exchange the seller got back to me within half an hour to inform me that they where currently out of stock but to place a new order and to donate the harness I have on top of a full refund

A+++++++++

The harness works fine, but it does take time for the dog to get used to being pulled back. I think this should come with a manual to help the new owner learn to train their dog with it. I was being walked by my dog, now unless he see's a cat, I get to walk him, more or less.

My dog is a champion puller. I used the trick of walking 180 degrees away from the dog when he pulls. That really did work to have him walk without pulling all the time. But since you basically go in circles with that plan--this harness allows us to take actual walks together. It is a very gentle way to remind a dog not to pull. However, my dog can certainly pull forward and disregard the gentle pull of the harness if he he wants. So it helps to train--but it does not stop a dog from pulling. I love the harness--it works for me. Today, I walked him with just a collar on--well, the harness makes for a much better walk.
