Lixit Original Dog Faucet Waterer
The only problems I've ever seen with the Lixit are that it does sometimes leak a little (but since it is for outside use, this isn't a big deal), and that if it is attached to a faucet that is in the sun, the metal parts can get pretty hot. Other than that, it just works.I've had several of these over the years. They work great but eventually they wear out. Make sure to check them cause if they aren't working it could be a real bad situation for your dog. I find that after a few years they start to leak and also hard water deposits will clog them.
Buy Lixit Original Dog Faucet Waterer Now
A great product for the convenience of not having to refill water bowls for pets and providing fresh water. However, unless the lixit is at an almost perfectly vertical (right) angle to the ground, it will not completely shut off, but continue to drip or dribble with a heavier flow the farther it is from vertical.Read Best Reviews of Lixit Original Dog Faucet Waterer Here
First Impression: At first I didn't know what Dad wanted me to do with the Lixit Dog Waterer. But after Dad showed me a couple times, I caught on very quickly. The instructions say you can put peanut butter on the lever, but Dad just pushed it with his finger. Also, he showed me that I can press my nose on the Lixit to make water come out. Fascinating!Conclusion: Dad says it's well worth the money! He never has to worry about a water bowl outside. When I play outside and get thirsty, I use the Dog Waterer. I lick it and it gives me fresh water. It hasn't leaked so far. I now think that Mom's bath faucet will turn on if I lick it for long enough. The Dog Waterer was very inexpensive and is recommended for all outdoor dogs, or even dogs that just go outside when they have to (like me).

I ordered two auto dog waterers. I was unable to get either one to install without leaking continuously. I finally took out the hard plastic washers and installed good rubber washers to prevent them from leaking when not being activated.Lixit needs to improve their quality control.

Tell Bell - (blue)
Everyone who has visited our house has been so amazed that our dog rings the Tell Bell to go potty. I've even had a repairman who noticed the paw on the bell and couldn't believe that she would ring it to go outside, and he was so impressed when she actually did it! Initially, we started another potty training method, and then switched to the Tell Bell, so it did take our dog a little longer to figure it out. We just kept being consistent knowing that it would work. It took us at least 6 weeks or more; however, once she got it, she got it. Our entire family was filled with such joy when she finally figured it out! That joy remains with us every day as it continues to be so much fun to hear her ring the bell to go outside. It always brings a smile to our faces.
We have 2 Tell Bells, one at the garage door, and the other at the back door. We've successfully trained our dog to ring the bell at the garage door when she has to go potty, and the other bell at back door when she wants to go outside and play. It's convenient that each Tell Bell comes with 2 bells. Right after she learned to ring the bell, all of my kids walked out of the garage door to go play, and she whacked at the bell over and over again because she wanted to go outside to play with them. It was too funny! Through the consistent training that they teach on the DVD, she eventually learned how to use the bells properly. Our Tell Bells have also visited several people's houses and she has used them successfully, even in strange homes.
The Tell Bell works well! We give the Tell Bell the highest recommendation possible. It's a quality product with a remarkably effective training technique that has worked well for us, as well as the numerous people we have given it to as a gift.We had relatives coming for a visit and their dog was coming with them. I asked if the dog was potty trained. She said yes and the dog uses a specially designed doorbell that sits by the door called Tell Bell. I have very nice doors that I did not want scratched and new carpet so I was not thrilled, but knew that the relatives were exceptionally clean people and would never let a dog stay in the house that was not "potty trained".
When the family put the Tell Bell by the door, I found it adorable! And sure enough, the dog hit the bell and went outside. No howling, no scratching!
Adorable! In fact, we offered to watch their dog while they visited elsewhere. We've bought a Tell Bell ourselves and it always makes our guests smile every time the Tell Bell rings.
We are told the people made the Tell Bell to stop sooooo many dogs from going into shelters. Many dogs go into shelters because the owners can not get the dogs potty trained. The people who made Tell Bell hope the Tell Bell would help keep the dogs out of the shelters. If you don't have a Tell Bell trained dog, then get it Tell Bell trained. You will never have a problem in finding someone to watch your dog. I wish everyone would do this so there would be less dogs at animal shelters. What a great fun way to love your dog even more.
I love this product in so many ways. How do I count the ways? This product is excellent in that you get two for the price of one, so one of the bells can travel or just stay at the sitters house, NO BATTERIES required! DVD gives instructions whereas many of the other products do not, no scratching ever on my doors, no barking or howling,After 6 months of consistent trying, our (admittedly a little slow) 10 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel still didn't get the hang of the Tell Bell. He knew the bell would be rung before the door would open, but he would always stand by the door and wait for us to help him ring it.
I think the main problem is it takes too much coordination for a small dog to strike the bell in the right place and with enough force to actually ring it (the button is about the size of his paw, and it doesn't make much noise unless it is pushed sharply straight down).
In the end we replaced the $25 tell bell with a $1-ish jingle bell tied from the door handle on a string, hung just above the ground. We put a treat right under the bell so he had to move (ring) it to get his treat, and one week later he is already ringing it on his own when he wants to go outside.
At least six months with the Tell Bell taught him what "Ring your bell," means, even if he couldn't actually do it ;-)

The photo of this bell makes it look larger than it is. It's the size of a bell you'd see on a hotel counter. That's cool for small dogs, but my German Shepherd mutes it as he rings it. I gave it to my friend who has a toy poodle and it works well for him. I ended up getting a bell like is on the top of the old country store doors...which mounts to the wall and is on a curved flexible hanger. Sergeant rings it easily and it works as good as the tell bell...although the tell bell's portability is good if you have a small dog.Want Tell Bell - (blue) Discount?
A lot of these reviews are fake. Dig a little deeper into their username and see that they only review this item multiple times.My small 6 month old puppy who is clicker trained at first used the bell. Then out of no where she regressed and refuses to ring the bell even after a lot of coercion (bribery). This is a dog who understands the "touch" command, closes doors, and jumps through hoops. By no means is this a dumb puppy but she seems not to get the tell bell.

NaturVet Bitter Yuck No Chew Spray
All this stuff accomplishes is two things:
#1: It wastes your money. Let's face it, it's essentially water with some bitter rosemary extract in it. It's not exactly worth what they charge for it.
#2: It coats everything in a very bitter-tasting spray. So, if you put it on anything you handle or lay on frequently, this stuff will eventually end up in your mouth. Not to mention the taste of the overspray when you apply it.
Don't even bother with this. The only good thing I can say about it is that it is odor free.
You're best of trying other methods to prevent chewing.Purchased this for a cat that needs to stop licking himself for medical reasons. I was suspicious since the ingredients are water, baking soda, and rosemary (my cats actually like the smell of rosemary), but I wanted to try something natural.
I applied the spray to the cat's fur and he promptly licked himself, paused, and then continued licking himself. I, however, got some of the liquid on my hand and later in the night touched my lips. Regretted that inadvertent action for the remainder of the night due to the lingering taste on my lips and tongue.
The cat has continued to lick himself in the area of application and actually spends even more time grooming himself now.
I am returning the product for "bitter apple", which is more effective.

I can't recommend this product at all. I bought it to stop my cat from eating cut flowers. After spraying the flowers my cat jumped right on the table and started chewing--he wasn't bothered at all. Meanwhile, I had the grossest taste in my mouth from the spray being in the air. Within a minute of spraying this my kids (who were in another room) began to complain of a nasty taste in the air. Even now, a week after using the product, I still get hints of it--it seems to be coating every surface in the house and anytime I touch something it clings to my hands. Definitely not recommended! I've used a bitter apple spray with great results. Only bought this because the shop was out of bitter apple and the sales person told me this was "about the same". It's not!Read Best Reviews of NaturVet Bitter Yuck No Chew Spray Here
I was having trouble with my cat eating my house plants, so I got some of this to spray on the leaves. It has worked really well, and the cat hasn't chewed on any leaves since I sprayed it on several months ago. I think I will probably have to reapply at some point, but so far so good! I like it because it's just rosemary, which is obviously harmless and won't hurt the plants or the cat, but it really works well, at least for my cat.Want NaturVet Bitter Yuck No Chew Spray Discount?
I have been a groomer for 13 years and have tried several no-chew products, both for customers and my own animals. This product is fantastic and probably the best I've tried because it's:-All-natural
-Alcohol free (won't sting hot spots or other wounds)
-Odorless
-Won't stain perfectly groomed fur or the furniture!
-Inexpensive
-It works!

High Tech Pet Super Hush Puppy Progressive Stimulus Sonic Bark Control Collar
Big news around my house is that it works on a 50lb compulsive barker. It emits a sound different than the other sonic items I've tried and he absolutely hates the sound and stops barking immediately. He not only doesn't bark but once, he runs off if someone else barks. Result is no one barks, because he's always been the instigator. He's also seemed to break his compulsion he barks less altogether.
When he doesn't have it on and starts barking because of someone arriving I just hold it up and approach him he stops barking.
So I tried shock, other sonic bark-stoppers, and citronella, and this is the only one that has worked! Whew, it is quiet here again, after 3+ years! I'd about given up hope, but 4 dogs were moving in next door and I got desperate. If it hadn't had a money-back guarantee I wouldn't have tried it.
BTW, I got it from Better Life 24/7 and their customer service is excellent. You need only order any 6-volt battery for this. The battery from the failed Spray Sense collar work fine.I read a review regarding this collar prior to ordering it. And she was spot on! This collar is terrific! The very first day that I put it on my dog he improved! There are certain things that cause him to bark excessively, like the Gardner or Pool man and I could never get him to stop barking. The collar emits a tone that gets louder and longer every time he barks. Typically by the 3rd time he is barking excessively he stops and gives up. I no longer have to waste my yelling at him to make him stop, he wouldn't listen to me when he was like that anyway. As far as the intermittent barking, a kid playing out side or a neighbor walking their dogs by, has improved dramatically. The issue that the other reviewer mentioned about multiple dogs, and another one without the collar sets off the sound on the dog with the collar, is totally true. However, I have noticed an improvement in my non collared dogs barking. He barks way less now too! Thank you for such a wonderful product! I love it! My only down side comment would be that the battery is hard to find. We had to order it online, couldn't find it at any stores around us. My comment to anyone looking for a No Bark Collar, get the BETTER LIFE, SUPER HUSH PUPPY 2 "NO SHOCK" No bark collar. There is no reason to shock your dog to get them to stop barking this product is amazing! Thank you!

As another reviewer pointed out, this does go off if your dog shakes his head with a tag on his collar so I took off his other collar off to prevent "misfires". Found it still goes off if he wrestles the cat, jumps off the couch, walks... breathes....Does NOT come with a battery (which the instructions say the company sells) so they should just charge you an extra buck or two and include the battery so it's ready to go straight out of the box. Feels light in weight which is good for the dog but in this case light might equal cheap since it is malfunctioning. Looks ridiculously big on a 15lb dog would be nice to have a smaller size for traditionally tiny+yappy breeds that might need it. Sounds like a fairly loud microwave oven beeeeeep!!!! going off next to your ear and I kind of feel bad for this going off randomly next to his head. Customer service said they could send a replacement but this is getting boxed up and going back.After reading all the reviews,and being awaken by good old "Roxie" at 3:30 AM something had to be done.After purchasing the unit,it went to work right away.Peace and restful sleep again. I have been telling all my friends about the "Hush Puppy", and of how "Roxie" is trying to figure out what went wrong. I recomend this product to anyone with a barking dog problem.It is a safe an humane way to solve the problem.

two stars to sad :{I bought two of this product for my son's dogs. They worked, but only for a day.
And unfortunely you CAN hear them. By day two we were not only listening to barking
but also a high pitched noise which made it all that much more annoying.
My lovely grand dogs just wiggled their ears a bit and continued barking.
On the companies behalf my sons dogs are both part pit bull and a mix of great dane. Not many things stop
them from doing what they want to do. I thought I would give this product a try, but they did not work.
The delivery of this product was quick.
If the noise doesn't bother you and your dog is little and more agreeable this product might work for you.
Good luck and I hope this review helped.

Flashy Pants
The pants fit shorter (more like at the narrowest part of the torso), the ruffles are not as full and more minimal, the plastic liner has an openingis to hold a small pad (about half a human pad). But, the placement of the opening is totally wrong so the pants get pretty soiled. Sometimes the panties would work for a day but not longer, since the pad does not give the protection to the fabric as needed.
The ties on the sides offer more flexibility in getting a snug fit (VERY important!) on any particular dog. But, what a PAIN to take them off and on everytime the dog wants to go out! Elastic or adjustable velcro may be a better choice.
If you decide to go with this product (because it is relatively inexpensive), get several and plan to wash them every other day.
The use and care information included says not to machine wash or put in dryer. I was able to us a delicate/handwash setting with no damage to the plastic. If you have the time to air dry, that probably would be best, but I was able to put in my dryer at the lowest heat setting with no problems.

Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Medium, My Little Angel/Red
That is fine but walking her was an unenjoyable chore. At the end of the walk she was frustrated and exhasted from pulling, she got no socialization benefit because she was too impatient and WE were frustrated. No one got any enjoyment or benefit from these sessions.
Enter the Gentle Leader. It was like turning on a switch. It was instant. It is like brakes, accelerator and steering wheel for your dog, all in one. Instantly walks became enjoyable for all of us. She took her time and checked out her environment. She was completely under control so she was able to meet people and other dogs. The benefits are so much more extensive than saving your shoulder joint.
After close observation it almost looks like she likes her flat collar less. As soon as she gets it on she wants to pull away from it. The gentle leader actually seems to calm her down.
A week ago no one in the family would volunteer for a 30 minute walk. This weekend she went out to two local parks for two plus hours each day and we got compliment after compliment about how well behaved she was, along with questions about where we took her for obedience training!
The family and the dog had so much fun together this weekend. By Sunday night everyone was in a better mood. The dog felt better and learned about lots of new things. She used less energy so we could stay out longer, and longer walks means more socialization. The family was encouraged and in a much better frame of mind to work with the dog the rest of the day. Everyone benefitted and we all grew closer and after all THAT is what this is all about.We've used the Gentle Leader with two dogs, and with patience, they are a great training tool and a relief from dogs that pull. The key is to start when they are puppies, if you have that ability. You have to make sure they are properly fitted that being tight enough on the nose and the back of the head. So make sure you buy the correct size, which means if you adopt a puppy which grows into a larger dog, you'll have to invest in another at some point. The good news is, you'll have the smaller one for when you adopt your next dog!

We have a lab puppy that is 5 months old. I have been struggling with the martingale collar trying to teach her to 'walk' rather than run and pull and make a complete mess of our quality walk time (I do it twice a day as she is full of beans and needs 2 x 20 min walks, and am the reluctantly nominated 'leader of the pack'!). I have been increasingly frustrated and have been feeling emotional rage towards our lovable puppy.However, the Gentle Leader arrived from Amazon today afternoon and I immediately watched the video, then tried to put the collar on. Our doggie resisted it like hell,but eventually I managed to get it in place so she could not get it off.
AND, we went for a walk.....
I have just walked back into our home after my best walk of my life with our puppy! Clearly, I think she was in some level of discomfort due to the newness of the collar, but she was absolutely brilliant on the walk! All the birdies, other doggies, every stone and piece of twig that she usually goes after were all left alone (in return for a hug, every 10 metres or so, plus loads of bikis!). I am hoping that in time the discomfort goes off and she actually enjoys the walks as well.
I am immensely grateful to you guys for this and cannot stop grinning from ear to ear!
Please watch the video before using the collar it is really useful and good and makes your life easier.
Bravo!!

I am disappointed with this product. The collar is very very narrow in width, not wide like the plain style medium sized one from Gentle Leader even though it's the same size. The clasp to keep the muzzle part in place won't stay put so it is constantly falling off my dog's muzzle. I've used other gentle leaders before and this one just wasn't the same quality.Want Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Medium, My Little Angel/Red Discount?
I purchased this as a recommendation of our vet...my dog HATES it!! I have given up on the head collar entirely and use the leash with a harness. She is happier, and I can actually get her to WALK instead of constantly rubbing her face into the ground or with her paws to get the silly thing off. Even with the instructional DVD I can see no advantage to investing any more time or aggravation into using the head collar. Turned out to be an expensive leash...maybe it just didn't fit her properly, either way, I will not try a head collar againTuesday, July 23, 2013

In case you're wondering like I was, you can't use a remote to make this unit beep.This unit is controlled by a motion sensor in the unit. The mode is set by a physical switch on the unit (not by a remote).
If you want to push a button to make your pet's collar beep, see a training collar like the SportDOG Field Trainer (SD-400) (for one dog) or SD-1825 SportDOG Sport Hunter A-Series Remote Trainer (for full functionality with more than one dog) or just the SportDOG SD-AB Beeper with a SportDOG transmitter.

I got this for $31 shipped on Amazon, when it was $79 everywhere else. I wanted an inexpensive beeper since I have never used one, I didn't know how the dog would react. This beeper has alot of features for the money, I have used it on 4 weekends hunting, and it has worked great. The dog hated it at first but got used to it. I will say it is definately worth the $31, I think for $79 I might shop a little harder and maybe upgrade for a few extra bucks.Want SportDOG Deluxe Hunting Beeper Collar, DSL-400 Discount?

Four Paws 400pk Bags 22x23 Wee Wee Pads
So now I have tried Four Paws Wee-Wee pads, Dynarex Under pads(worst),Simply Right Super Absorbent under pads(very good-still use) and Natures Miracle Advanced Wee Pads(still use)and find Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra is the best by far for doggie wee pads!
I have to admit I am impressed on how absorbent Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra turned out to be. They claim to hold 6 cups of liquid and I believe it, this is the only pad with Polymer in it, Polymer helps absorption and keeps the spread of the liquid to a minimum getting more use out of the pad, this pad is also fantastic at keeping odor absorbed. I find Petsmart is the only place I can get these pads in-store in my area. The pad size is larger than the other wee pads at 27x23 compared to 23x24 and Natures usable pad area is pretty close to the 27x23 size where the other pads can be up to 4inches smaller in usable area size (so your 23x24 pad is actually 19x21 inches)because the blue border is non-absorbent and not usable(Dynarex brand)!! I just bought Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra on sale at Petsmart, 100pads for $39 which is a great price but I only use these in my crate due to that high price and for visit at friends houses. For daily use, I now go with Simply Right Super Absorbent 23x36 under pads from Sam's club which is also a very good product, not bad at keeping odor at bay, the size fits replacement crate trays, more room for 2 pups to use and best of all the cheap price tag of $24 for 120 pads and they are sold in-store, no need to order online. I will admit I would use these pads again if need be but there is no real savings in them as you do use more.
