Round Nylon Choke Collar in Black 20"

Round Nylon Choke Collar in Black 20'Couldn't beat the price! Exactly what I was looking for. I have a young male Doberman who was sensitive to a chain choke collar. Very effective training aid.

These collars, which are very safe, are also called choke collars. They are soft, provide good, immediate control without pain when you have to quickly correct your dog, then slip to a looser position (hence the name) as soon as you slacken the lead. NEVER, EVER USE THE CHAIN CHOKE COLLAR, EVEN ON SHORT HAIRED DOGS. IF IT IS ON BACKWARDS, OR IF ONE LINK TURNS, AND YOU DO NOT SEE IT, THE WHOLE COLLAR WILL QUICKLY BECOME EMBEDDED IN THE DOG'S NECK, CUTTING OFF AIR, AND CAN CAUSE DEATH. At the very least, it will cost you a vet visit to remove the collar from the lacerated skin and blood in your dog's neck.

I raise and show Collies. No marks, or indentations can be on their fur from any collar. It is used as their regular collar with tags, and I use one without tags for training. Regular buckle collars mar the look of the fur in the show ring, and just visually. This collar lays flat under the fur. I am buying 2 more in a larger size for one of my other Collies.

Get your collar a size larger for very full coated dogs.

I volunteer with a dog rescue group and we use this collar as a secondary collar at adoption events and pack walks. These secondary collars ensure that should our primary collar of a Starmark training collar, prong or martingale fail we will still have control of the dogs especially in crowded and sometimes chaotic situations. This product is well-made and a fantastic price. Highly recommend.

I am not happy nor displeased with this choker, although it does run a little large in size....even if it's put on properly,it feels as if it wants to slide off the dogs head, more so then your typical chain or rope choker....only positive is it doesn't pull the dogs hair or turn the coat grey like a choker chain......I'll keep shopping around for another one

Lupine 1-Inch 2-Feet Traffic Lead, Green

Lupine 1-Inch 2-Feet Traffic Lead, GreenGreat price. This is perfect for in the house when you want a lead on the dog but not one that'll drag around. Really great quality and made in the US>

I love this leash! It works on half of my giant great dane's collars, but the ones with the HUGE hardware, the leash clip doesn't fit around. This is very frustrating and I have not had this problem with any of my other leashes. So therefore I can only use this lead with my dog's smaller, not as nice collars. I have actually gotten this leash stuck on my dog's collars once I finally get it on them. I am disappointed about that as I bought two of them for my Great Dane puppies and cannot use them half the time.

I have a puppy who is learning how to walk on a leash. We had been using a 4 foot leash but it was too long to use when teaching him how to walk next to me without pulling. This leash is the ideal length for having the dog walk next to you. My puppy is tall but currently under 20 lbs, and he has no choice but to walk next to me when on this leash. The green color is nice and the leash seems well made.

Excelvan Rechargeable and Waterproof 100 level vibration and shock training system with lcd display-

Excelvan Rechargeable and Waterproof 100 level vibration and shock training system with lcd display--for 2 dogsMy pup was starting to chase cars. One "warning, then a gentle zap" did the trick. Now when he hears the "warning" he stops on a dime and returns to me....with no hesitation. Great way to keep them safe!

The collar set came quick enough, but what a piece of crap! The collars don't hold a charge for anything, the transmitter is slow to switch receivers, there IS NOT an option for transmitting to both collars, and if you have a fluffy dog, YOU'RE BONED!!! The prongs cannot get through all the hair! Contacting the sender is as easy as putting an elephant in pantyhose. You're never going to get them to admitt this product is crap and you'll never pry your money back from their greedy little paws. It's garbage now. Suggestion, go to cabelas or bass pro shop and get a training collar there.

Merrick Bite Sized Lamb Canine Training Treats 5 oz

Merrick Bite Sized Lamb Canine Training Treats 5 ozI used to happily feed these to my pugs, but the last time I found a dime-sized metal shard in the bag.

I was very disappointed because my dogs loved these treats. I will be switching brands.

I emailed Merrick customer service, including photos, but they refused to contact me. I have filed a report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

I'm not one of those crazy people who wastes time filing reports (I have never done that before) & writing negative reviews for no reason. I am very concerned with the health & well-being of animals (especially my own) & I believe this product poses a threat.

I bought these Merrick Lamb Training Treats from my local petco. I gave them to all three of my dogs and one threw up. I thought it was odd since he had never thrown up before. A few days later I gave all three of my dogs the trests and this time two of them threw up the treats and all their food. I called Merrick and reported it. They just told me to take the treats back to the store. best if used by date of 07 Sept 2012 so they are not any where near to being expired

I know, they sound kind of disgusting. Bite sized bits of lamb lung... Kind of offputting. But these treats are the BEST treats of all the ones I buy-and I buy a LOT of them. They're soft, but not chewy... Easily breakable and chewable, but somewhat crunchy. It's only a 5 oz bag but there are LOTS inside-many more than the photo would lead you to believe. These treats are so good that I can get my 7 month old Morkie to do ANY trick I ask-I use these as the "High Value" treats because he loves them so much! The Beef flavor are just as wonderful-really anything from Merrick is great.

Make your dog happy and try these treats! They're my dog's absolute favorite. :)

My lab absolutely loves the lamb lung. It is his favorite treat. The pieces are reasonable size, typically about 1/2" cube, and there are typically only very few small bits so little wastage.

I bought these as a training treat and my dog seems to really like them. However, every time I open the bag, I have to hold them as far away as possible because the odor is awful. Since I have seen no other review mentioning the odor, perhaps this particular bag is defective? The date is current. They will be going in the garbage though.

HALTI Black Headcollar for Dogs ... Size 3

HALTI Black Headcollar for Dogs ... Size 3Before getting a HALTI, we described walking our dog as "going for a drag". We had to fight the whole time, tugging back the dog. Even with a choke style collar, the dog would pull while coughing and wheezing. When he wanted to stop to sniff a spot on the ground, he'd brace his body for the tug, and keep on sniffing. Not fun, and not the kind of exercise I had hoped for when walking the dog. Instead of a nice brisk walk, I had shoulder pain...

About 5 years too late, we bought a Halti for our English Springer. At first, he bucked and tried to paw it off. That didn't take too long though. You'll quicky find that when the dog sees it, they'll lift their nose for you to put it on without any problem. It is wonderful! I've recommended it to others with both large and smaller breeds, and they've all had the same wonderful results. Make sure that the HALTI fits correctly. If you get one that is too big, and your dog lunges back suddenly, it will come off.

Also, if you do stop to talk to a neighbor for too long, the dog may start to paw at the Halti or chew on it in an effort to get it off. Don't let the dog chew on it, it is fabric, and our dog did chew through one.

Totally AMAZING!!

I just got this product an hour and a half ago and already it has changed my life!!! I have two 3 year old, very energetic, male, boxer-lab mix boys (Taco, 90lbs & Ranger, 95lbs) and for three years walking them has been a total nightmare. They USE to pull and tug and growl and jump and be absolutely horrible on walks; to the point where I dreaded, REALLY REALLY dreaded walking them. Previously, I bought choke chains for them and they did not work it just made them gag and hack but they kept right on pulling.

This head collar changed ALL OF THAT in 15 minutes. I walked them separately so they could adjust to it and I am so deeply impressed. They also no longer jump up on strangers or try to pull away from me when other animals or people are near. A little neighbor boy came right up to me while we were walking and neither of them made a move. I WAS SPEECHLESS. Each time they just sat down beside me and didn't misbehave.

It took Taco about 5 minutes to adjust to it and it took Ranger about 10 minutes (he's the alpha). They tried to pull it off their noses and rubbed their faces on the ground to try to get it off, but I just coaxed them to keep going and eventually each one of them quit resisting and we all had a really fantastic walk.

This changes everything for us! My fiancee and I will be able to take them to the park! We can take them hiking! We can take them anywhere!!!

Don't wait three years like I did to make the investment!! It's worth every penny!!!

THis product is great I can walk the dog instead of the dog walking me. I like that it causes no harm to the dog yet allows for control with minimal effort.

Read Best Reviews of HALTI Black Headcollar for Dogs ... Size 3 Here

My dog is the one pictured above (Newman). I can't say that he is very fond of the Halti but it works for my husband and I. Newman is a big boy and pulls very hard when we walk him. It got to the point that we would leave him home because it hurt shoulders and back muscles to walk him.

We may use the Halti slightly differently than suggested. We use one leash for his head (connected to the Halti) and another for his body (his regular leash). So my husband controls him with two leashes he looks like a horse. I was very skeptical but it works and works well!

You've got nothing to lose. If it doesn't work you can always send it back. We were at our wits end with Newman. I've raised English Bull Terriers my whole life and never had such problems when walking a dog. Now the problem is solved!

Product worked better than expected. I ordered size 3 for a large Labrador and it fit perfectly. It only took a few minutes for my dog to adjust to the lead and he no longer pulls. I highly recommend this product.

Tri-Tronics Pro 500 G3 EXP Training Collar

Tri-Tronics Pro 500 G3 EXP Training CollarAfter spending a lot of time researching products currently in the market as well as talking to a number of dog owners and trainers I settled on the Pro 500. From all accounts it was the best collar on the market for my application, one waterfowl and upland pointing dog.

This collar was bought to replace an ancient Innotek Command Series 1600. In comparison the Tri-Tronics controller is huge, clunky and the function/options are crude. They couldn't even include a way to connect a lanyard so you have to buy a holster making it even larger? On the other hand, setup is extremely easy, unlike the Innotek which was a real pain. Probably why it is no longer available.

If I had to buy another collar I'd buy the Pro 500 again because it appears to be the best out there right now. But I'll continue to use my Innotek until it dies and they no longer support it.

Charlee Bear Cheese and Egg Treats 6oz Pouch

Charlee Bear Cheese and Egg Treats 6oz PouchCharlee Bears are small and low calorie, so you can use them en masse for training. We use them both for standard training (sit, stay, drop it, leave it) and behavioral training (no bark). They're not stinky or messy, so you can put them in your pocket, purse, or car without worry. We keep a small bag in the car for travel to reinforce when our puppy doesn't bark at people walking by, one by the door to reinforce when she goes to the bathroom outside, and a bunch of treats in a treat bag for travel.

The one downside to these is that because they're not as stinky, it can be harder to use them to get your dog's attention if he or she is distracted, like at the dog park or if you have a bunch of visitors. Our trick to get around this is that we put some stinky treats in the treat bag with these, and they'll take on some of the scent (We use Pro-Treat Beef Liver, Freeze Dried Dog Treats, 21 Ounce).

Our dog loves all flavors.

Ethical Contempo Halo Food and Treat Dispenser for Dogs

Ethical Contempo Halo Food and Treat Dispenser for DogsMy puppy loves to play with soda bottles now with this product I can feed her from a big soda bottle. This treat dispenser was easy to put on the bottle and my puppy was not able to take it off.

Update 12/27/2012. My puppy is not able to get the dispenser off but it is very heavy compared to the soda bottles and just doesnt work too well. I will continue to use it but not really happy with it.

I bought this for my dog about a year ago and had been looking to get another for almost as long. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has a dog. It keeps our dog busy and focused.

SportDOG SportHunter Electronic Dog Training Collar, SD-1825

SportDOG SportHunter Electronic Dog Training Collar, SD-1825I was looking for a collar for my dog so she could have more freedom. She did ok with the "come" command but if she was distracted she blocked me out. Selective hearing maybe... Anyway, she really doesn't like things that vibrate so I wanted a collar that had vibrate and tone but no shock. However I couldn't find such a collar. So I decided to go with the Sportdog 1825 because it had all 3 features and you could program it so you didn't need to use the shock feature. This is the best thing I have bought for both me and my dog. She listens so well and I have NEVER had to shock her. Most of the time now I don't have to use it at all. If I hit the tone she comes looking for me, kind of turned it into a game at times. If the tone doesn't work then I press the vibrate button and that always works. She is a very friendly dog and wants to greet everyone or every dog we encounter but with this collar I can get her to stay at my side until I say "OK". Also, no more trying to chase the UPS or FED-EX trucks...that always scared me. Now when I see one coming I just tell her "No, stay." and just keep talking to her quietly. It's amazing and gives me so much relief that she can run and play with her friends without being on a leash. She loves her freedom and knows that this collar gives her that. It's very user friendly and easy to program. I would highly recommend Sportdog to anyone! Great customer service too if you have any questions or problems!!

Thanks to this collar, WHEN USED PROPERLY, my dog is coming when I call now and is not as willing to stray from my side anymore! But, please be advised, it is a must to read the user guide before using this collar. You could really hurt your dog or cause him to become very fearful of you. The purpose of the collar is to teach a quick recall in a hunting situation AFTER your dog has been properly trained to verbal cues! I have a beagle and he loves catching a scent and amazingly disappearing in a second. With this collar, I simply put it on before I turn him loose and when I notice he is getting too far from my side, I call and correct him. He comes almost instantly. In the past, I would be hunting for him for hours and he refused to come back when he smelled a trail. With a touch of the correction button on low, he comes back within a minute! The best part for me is that it's like having an invisible fence with you at all times. I don't have to keep my dog on a leash anymore!

I had a basic Innotek collar, which was fine when I had one dog who didn't wander far. Now that I have two pointers with a case of wanderlust it just wasn't what I needed anymore, especially since my dogs could get outside the 300 yard range in the blink of an eye. I did a lot of research and this collar had great reviews & the features I needed. The range is great, I don't have a problem with them getting outside it anymore. I also bought a second collar & programming both collars was really easy. All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase.

We have a mixed breed, Siberian Huskey & Alaska Malamute, who is now 10 months old. 2Patches (TaPatches) was roaming the neighborhood and we either had to keep him tied to his run or in the house to monitor him. More than once he would bring home items that were from neighbors trash cans and we knew sooner or later he would either be poisened or shot. We didn't want to see this happen to him, so I ordered the collar. Within two days I knew which setting would get patches attention. He still goes on walks by himself, but if he's gone, and a voice command won't bring him home the SportDOG Electronic Dog Training Collar always gets his attention and he is home within minutes. Yes I would purchase this item again, and I have told my friends who have dogs about the collar. Its well worth the money and a relief knowing that maybe this collar has saved or will save my dogs life in the future.

Said walking her at night could be hazardous because she couldn't be seen. The collar fixes that. It has different settings for flashing or steady light. She uses the steady light, which also helps her see around the dog. It has held up in the rainy Washington state winters so far, and does what it needs to do.
