Wellness Pure Rewards All-Natural Delicious Beef Jerky Bits Dog Treats

Wellness Pure Rewards All-Natural Delicious Beef Jerky Bits Dog TreatsAh, finally, a treat that JP, my dog loves. Wellness came out with a "Pure Rewards" beef jerky bits for dogs, and these all-natural, tender jerky treats are highly palatable, even to the most discriminating palate. Best of all, the ingredients are easy to understand (which is important), and contain: beef, dried chicory root, cultured whey, sea salt, lecithin, and mixed tocopherols (which is a natural preservative). Four paws up for these tasty treats! Absolutely tasty and palatable!

These are wonderful dog treats and are made in the USA instead of China!! I actually break them into smaller pieces and sprinkle over my dogs' dry food. I have some very picky eaters, but all the picky-ness went out the window when we got these!!! I highly recommend them!!

Vitakraft Sirloin Tips Dog Treats

Vitakraft Sirloin Tips Dog TreatsMy dog has no problem snarfing them down, but I couldn't find the ingredient list before ordering them. After reading the container I'm not ordering more as sugar (Corn Syrup) is the second ingredient...and if it is labelled like "people food" the ingredients are in weight order, i.e. highest weight ingredients first. According to the label, here is what is in them:

Ingredients:

Soybean Meal, Corn Syrup, Wheat Flour, Water Sufficient for Processing, Animal Fat, Ground Corn, Gelatinized Corn Flour, Propylene Glycol, Meat & Bone Meal, Wheat Middlings, Corn Gluten Meal, Gelatin By-Products, Phosphoric Acid, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Beef Digest (source of beef flavor), Ground Wheat, Potassium Sorbate (a preservative), Lecithin, Dicalcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Vitamins (Vit. A, D3, E, Niacin, B12 Supplements, Riboflavin (Vit. B2) and Biotin Supplements, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrocloride, Menadione Sodium Bisulfate Coomplex)), Titanium Dioxide, Artificial Color Red #40, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Manganous Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Cobolt Carbonate, Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide, Sodium Selenite, BHT (a preservative), BHA (a preservative), Citric Acid (a preservative).

Guarantee Analysis:

Min. Crude Protein 18.0%, Min. Crude Fat 8.0%, Max. Crude Fiber 3.0%, Max. Moisture 30.0%.

Oh, and Vitacraft? Can you put a tab on the lid so you are not as likely to break a fingernail trying to pry the snap-on lid off every time you want to give your dog a treat?

Premier Nite Lite Day-Glo Lead in Green, 3/4" x 53"

Premier Nite Lite Day-Glo Lead in Green, 3/4' x 53'Bought these for camping, to use to keep the dogs leashed, but liked the two clasps, so we could hook them directly to our camp side tie up with out have to keep switching between chain and leash.

They are decent.

The one clasp broke when one of our dogs tried to take off after a rabbit, luckly we were standing nearby and were able to step on the leash to keep her from taking off.

If your using them as just a walking leash, they aren't too bad, but the type of material makes them uncomfortable to hold for extended periods, and I like to wrap the leash around my hand when there's "distractions" too keep the dog closer to me.

Can't really do that with these leashes.

They served their purpose this summer, but will be looking for something new for this year.

Would not buy again.

Venture Series Big Dog 1000 Yards Add-A-Dog by PetSafe

Venture Series Big Dog 1000 Yards Add-A-Dog by PetSafeThe training is excellent. I wish I had this 20 years ago. This collar has one major problem; you cannot leave it on your dog overnight for training in nuisance barking because it rubs a raw and bloody hole in his neck. Both of my dogs got permanent scars on their necks from overnight wearing. I now try to only use the collar for 4 hours at a time.

Primal Pet Foods Chicken Chips Dog Treat

Primal Pet Foods Chicken Chips Dog TreatI bought Primal Chicken Chips thinking it was a safe USA product that could replace Smokehouse 100% Natural Duck Chips Dog Treats, 16oz Reseal Bag thought it would be a small crispy crunchy chip. I was wrong, there's no "chip" to it, just tough jerky the size of a half-dollar. I had to fold the leathery stuff in half multiple times to tear it into 4 smaller pieces (like trying to tear a leather belt) and my 11 lb. shih tzu still had trouble chewing it and even choked on the last bit. Gave away to a big dog (80 lbs.) LOVES them.

My dog loves these and I can feel good giving them to her as they are made of just chicken honey and sea salt

ive tried several chicken jerky brands, most of which have caused my dog to choke when he chews it. primal treats are dry roasted and stay crunchy versus becoming soggy and chewy while being consumed. unfortunately the treats are rather expensive, but overall are worthwhile.

Funny, my sixty pound Staffordshire Bull Terrier adores these things. They are her favorite treat paws down. For the Shih Tzu, try Bacon Bits.

Vibration Bark Control Collar

Vibration Bark Control CollarCollar definitely got our dog to stop her "hunting" bark, but we are wondering if she will just get used to the vibration.

It says 10 levels of vibration but we can't figure out how to make any adjustment to it. It is enough to break her train of thought (or bark) and we prefer this over a static shock collar.

SmartPets 4in1 Dog Training Shock and Vibration Collar

SmartPets 4in1 Dog Training Shock and Vibration CollarI would recommend, with the caveat that only even-tempered people should use these on dogs. (Ok, only even-tempered people should _own_ dogs...) It is a very effective method of instant punishment, but punishment is only effective if coupled with praise and reward for good behavior.

That said, the product doesn't use too much current and the vibrate feature is very humane. Buy a pair of rechargable AAA batteries, since the collar drains them any time the dog is wearing the collar (whether or not it has been discharged).

This collar is very weak. I even put brand new batteries in and it was still very weak, I could hold it against my hand and barely feel anything. It had no affect on any of my dogs and they are short haired medium size dogs. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Save the trouble and spend the extra money for a nicer collar.

This product would be great for smaller dogs, probably 25lbs or less. Anything more than that and the zap seems to be pretty much ineffective. This product has a great range and works well for keeping dogs' attention. It is a great deal for the price.

The guy was nice and he had a great idea for a product at a good price, but it would randomly shock my dog. I called and asked for a refund and he was very nice and refunded the money in full.

Want SmartPets 4in1 Dog Training Shock and Vibration Collar Discount?

We bought this for our medium sized houd/terrier mix. Our front yard isnt fenced and we wanted a way to let her out to play and run without going into the streetwhich is what she always didwe would call and she would ignore us, she was a rescue pet so she was grown when we got her. Our budget is tight so we bout this collar inspite of the bad reviews. It works GREAT! we have hardly had to use the shock, the vibrate gets her attention. Be sure to put the batteries in corectly and leave the lower switch on the same frequency or it wont work. batteries to drain out of it, we only leave it on her for short amounts of time anywayas I recomend you do. The collar will loosen a little but you really cant beat the quality for the price. Remote is nice easy to use except the on off and 3 frequency switches are not marked and were a little confusing. when we couldnt get it to work we re-set it and figured out it was the frequency switch on another setting. I say GO!

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.

Tropiclean Stay Away Pet Chew Deterrent Spray, 8 Ounce

Tropiclean Stay Away Pet Chew Deterrent Spray, 8 OunceAwesome stuff, it stopped my puppy from chewing on the molding around the floor (knawing off our paint and huge chips of wood), our wooden chairs, and anything else we didn't want her destroying. I also recommend telling them 'no, that's not your toy', and then giving them one of they're toys that they're allowed to chew on and say 'chew on your toy' to help redirect that behavior. It's natural for dogs and especially teething puppies to want to chew on things and they need to have something they can chew on, but this spray really helps to let them know what they can't touch. It's really powerful stuff, definitely hold your breath when spraying it (a mask would probably be better) because if you breathe it in while it's airborne it will linger in your mouth and it tastes HORRIBLE!!

I just got a new puppy and she is chewing on every cord that I have in my house. Given that my other dog is well past that stage I never really worried about having so many power cords, USB cables and printer cables running through my workspace. However, the new baby nearly gnawed through my HDMI cable and I was not happy with that.

As a temporary measure I rubbed some hot sauce (sparingly) on the cables and that seemed to help. I then ordered this spray hoping that it would do the job. Let me just say, it is really potent. Every time that I use it I taste it in the air and I HATE it. It makes my lips swell and the taste lingers for hours. However, the puppy doesn't seem nearly as affected by it as I am. My older dog sniffed the cable that I sprayed (just to see what I was doing) and she ran away from it. Maybe really young dogs--my puppy is 8 weeks old--don't have as finely developed sense of taste as slightly older dogs do. Anyway, I will continue to use it, only AFTER I buy some sort of gas-mask, and I will update this review with my progress.

We've got a young lab that will chew on "anything" and was pulling up/chewing up our neighbor's solar yard and walkway lights. I sprayed this all over the new ones I bought to replace the damaged ones. The dog left them alone for about 3 weeks then, I found one back at our place (but not chewed up). I sprayed it, reset it, and resprayed all of the other ones again. This does seem to work.

Cleared my sinuses right out. Taste and smell does tend to linger. Seems to deter my cat pretty well. Suggest using in well-ventilated environment.

The reviews are right. This doesn't really work. My puppies didn't like the taste. However, they still licked on it. They would just shake their heads after they lick it. Then lick on it again. I wouldn't buy it again.

Cesar Millan Large Red Illusion Collar

Cesar Millan Large Red Illusion CollarThis collar gives plenty of control for the handler while not causing the dog any discomfort when correcting him. I feel this is a must have for anyone training a dog. Well made and very easy to use. In fact, when Buddy sees one of us getting our keys out he immediately goes to get this collar. I think he loves it as much as I do.

We rescued Buddy,our Fox Red Lab from the county shelter in December. At 100 lbs and still growing he can be a handful using a regular collar, especially for my wife who is petite. I'm disabled due to back injuries and walk with a cane so this collar is also great for me to have handy because my pal goes everywhere I do.

I measured my dogs neck as recommended and purchased a large based on the measurements but the "correction" part of the collar was way too small. There was no slack in the rope to make the correction as needed. The rest of the collar would have fit and I beleive it is a good system; there just needs to be some tweaking for big dogs.

I already have the black collar and just ordered the red one.

My dog trainer actually brought it with her one day and we put it on my dogs. I have a caddle dog mix and a pit and they both do awsome with the collar. It stays up in place, no more adjusting. And just a lil tug and they react.

It is a bit pricy, but it was worth it for me.

My dog pulls on the leash very hard but with the Illusion collar she can no longer pull my arm when she tries to lunge or pull the leash!

Want Cesar Millan Large Red Illusion Collar Discount?

Love the collar it works great in keeping the correction collar in place at the top of the head. A small correction pulls back even a strong heavy dog. I have a pit/boxer mix and he's 80 lbs. I have him pretty well trained but sometimes when we see another dog or a squirrel he gets a little out of control. I'd say that this collar has helped me control him. Pair it with a squirt bottle and squirt him in the face when he acts up, and I'm golden.

My only complaint is that the clasp on the collar broke (twice!) I returned the item both times and got a full refund and exchange. The 3rd collar seems to be working fine. Could be b/c my dog has such a large neck/head... but stillthe clasp shouldn't break. Luckily, even if the clasp does come undone the rope lead is still around the dogs neck and he cannot break free. The clasps simply hold the collar in place.

Herm Sprenger Extra Hook Links for Dog Training Collar, Medium 3-Mm

Herm Sprenger Extra Hook Links for Dog Training Collar, Medium 3-MmThe only thing missing in the product description is the quantity of links provided. I saw other offers for less than 1/2 this price for 3 links, so I assumed this was for more links. It was not, only received three links.

*******UPDATE:******** The seller Sally at "Haute Dauge" has made several attempts to contact me and make this right. We connected through email and she offered me a refund and cleared up a few things that was simply a misunderstanding. Her product is the Stainless Steel version which would explain the cost and my mistake of it not being a Herm Sprenger because it didn't match my collar. It IS in fact a Herm Sprenger. There was also a misunderstanding with her importer about the size. At any rate, Sally was a pleasure to work with and really cares about her customers. I highly recommend doing business with Haute Dauge. No longer disappointed. In fact, I decided to keep the link for a larger collar I have so I've changed my rating from 1 Star to 4. Thanks Sally!

What with the expense of these collars, it was great to be able to increase the size as opposed to getting another entire collar.
