Katie's Bumpers Double Tug Training Toy

Katie's Bumpers Double Tug Training ToyMy dog LOVES to tug. When he saw this, he latched on and had me worn out quickly. I left him alone with the tug for 30 seconds or less, while I grabbed a treat for him, and with the tug laying on the couch, he managed to chew through one of the handles. I say 30 seconds, but it was probably more like 20 seconds; the treats were less than 10 feet away. Turned my back and it was done. It's still usable, just not as I intended it to be.

Deluxe Big Dog Remote Trainer

Deluxe Big Dog Remote TrainerI have two large dogs (a yellow lab mix and a husky Shepherd mix) who barked at everything (the kids coming in the door, the cat walking by, etc.). After only a few days using the remote trainer, the barking subsided. The yellow lab was quicker to learn what would happen when she barked and after a while, just knowing she was wearing the collar was enough. The husky Shepherd mix, however, has much thicker fur and while he could certainly feel the ramifications of his continuous barking, he didn't respond as well as a dog with less fur. Just keep that in mind. Otherwise, great product that doesn't automatically zap at the barking and let's you control and "train".

Simple Solution Economy Puppy Training Pads

Simple Solution Economy Puppy Training Pads, 100-Countthis is actually not what is shown in the picture, as I have ordered that exact product before and it was much better quality. these pads are definitely not as well made .. less absorbent and need to be changed more often. depending on what you are looking for, it may be ok given the price is much cheaper than normal? also, these don't come from a pet supply store, more of a medical facility-type product ...

These pads work well, and better than any other product I've tried. They're absorbent, they minimize the ordor, and the price is good...which is very important to me because we go through about a dozen a day. Service is also prompt.

These pads are great for maltese and yorkies and all small breeds that are trained to go inside. I suggest the 200 pk rather than the 100.

I got a new puppy for the first time a few months ago. He's small and we live in an apartment, was not yet potty-trained, so I needed to get him some puppy pads. I initially picked up a dozen for about ten to fifteen dollars at a local store in the midst of doing my original supply run in anticipation of my baby.

These pads are MORE ABSORBENT than the ones I got originally, which actually had the Arm n Hammer name on them. They are incredibly cheap relative to most other pads. No need to buy the expensive ones, even considering shipping costs. Great product.

I use the same product that appeared to be the same on the packaging. The product I use from the store has a peach backing and is much more padded. These are thin cheap and blue backed. I do not recommend as I have to use 2 to absorb and still have to clean up the floor. Hope I find something better next time.

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Large, Raspberry Pink

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Large, Raspberry PinkYes, I am into pink again-after finding and adopting a stray female wild pup. Gentle Leaders are a very nice way to walk and train a pup, without pain. Buy one, I think you too will appreciate the virtues.

My rescue pup is an 80 pound Great Pyrenees who never saw a leash before I picked her up a week ago. She is one powerful dog and, although she resisted the Gentle Leader at first, she now walks nicely with it on. No pulling. My last dog was a 70 pound Akita/Lab mix. I was using a choker collar with him for years, but when I discovered this Gentle Leader, I changed him over to it. He never pulled again. He did not like it, and he would get it off his nose when I was not looking, but walking him became so much easier. Easy on my back, easy on his neck. I figure if this design can lead a horse, it surely can lead a dog. You can't go wrong with this product.

This works wonders on my bullmastiff. Very first time I walked her with this and it worked! Love love love this!

This head harness is amazing. I can't stress it enough that you need to really read the instructions before trying it out. The back strap needs to be HIGH near the ears. Be ready to run out the door immediately after putting it on the first few times so the dog is distracted. Our dog rubbed her face a couple times on the first walk, but then went with it.

The difference is insane. She is 80lbs and could pull your arm off. Once she got used to this after two walks, we literally hold the lead with a single finger. It also helps control her when she is reactive toward other dogs. The nose loop stays far back on the snout so she is never limited on her breathing.

Great product and we've tried a LOT.

BP20R Replacement Battery for Dogtra Collar 175NCP 180NCP 22000NC, YS-500 Collar BP-20R

BP20R Replacement Battery for Dogtra Collar 175NCP 180NCP 22000NC, YS-500 Collar BP-20R
  • 3.6V 200mAh
  • Nickel Metal Hydride Battery

I bought two of these battery packs to replace the old ones in my dog training collars. These will last several days compared to the few hours that my old batteries did.

I did a lot of comparing and the pricing was right for these.

It won't take a charge. Yes the charger is working. Put it on a voltmeter but no success. Waste of money.

I was worried after I went back to my very expensive training collars to help with our new puppy and found that neither of them worked.

I hesitantly purchased this generic battery (instead of laying down 100+ dollars on a new collar) and was very very happy with the results. This thing is incredibly easy to install and works perfectly. All my worries and fears were unfounded with this product.

Battery fit 175NCP Dogtra collar perfectly and fixed the problem we were having without having to buy a whole new collar! Every time we'd use the transmitter and send a zap or vibration, it would work the one time and then short out/turn off. Now back to normal!

David Dikeman's Command Performance Dog Training System (20th Anniversary Edition DVD)

David Dikeman's Command Performance Dog Training SystemI ordered this video about 18 years ago when I got a Rat Terrier. This video helped me train him in less than two weeks. He was off lead after the first two weeks of training and stayed off lead for his entire 18 years!!! I do think I had an amazing dog but I also think that David's video made my dog even more amazing!!! I recently had the chance to get a Cavalier King Charles and when I received word that she would be arriving soon I ordered this DVD. I do wish it was updated (the eighties clothing and hair can be distracting) But..and this is important!!! This DVD works!!! In the first 20 minutes working with the dog you get results!!! So if you think the Dog Whisperer is great or you've seen other dog handlers on TV then you need to check out Command Performance. David Dikeman was in this way before the others. He is the man for the job if your dog is more than a handful or just a little inattentive. David has the answers....I just wish he had a show offered to him...or a chance to cut a new DVD.

You won't be sorry for choosing this DVD ...it's well worth the money!!! If your dog is older or just a puppy you can make life a lot safer and easier for both you and your dog by training them with this method!!! Stop dealing with all those "dog issues" when company comes, or all the running off to chase a car, or the yanking and pulling walks you dread...get this DVD and you will breath fresh life and love into your relationship with your dog!!!

David's 1st lesson does so much in getting an immediate result it encourages the user to continue, knowing more positive results will follow. I've used David's program for years now on my own dogs; German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers. It's great to have other people recognize how well my dogs listen and behave. Friends often ask me to watch their dogs while they go away for a day to a week or more. One of the first things I do is introduce my new guest to lesson one. I've used the 1st lesson with friends pets while pet sitting for as little as a day or two and they all comment on how their dogs do better on a leash after I've watched them for such a short time. I explain how simple David's program is and how it works. Now when friends vacation and leave their pets they affectionately refer to sending them to "doggy sleep away camp".

Regardless of whether traveling in a vehicle, visiting friends and family or just outside for time with your pet, using a program like David's gives you the ability to relax with your pet. Your dog and you will enjoy having a good time working together while they are playing and getting satisfaction pleasing you. I recommend this to my friends and I recommend it to you as well.

My husband, Alan, and I have used these techniques for our Vizslas through what is now, decades. David's dog training system continues to be a straightforward, easy-to-accomplish and enjoyable experience for a dog and owner. We have watched these tapes many times and followed them carefully for every young Vizsla that has joined our family. We have even used it for a misbehaving male adult rescue Vizsla and he was soon heeling and paying attention! Our first 'graduate' recently passed away at 17, she traveled with us to Europe to hike in the Alps. A perfect dog. Our 7 year old, 2 Easy, is a canine star. We take her everywhere and the leash is seldom used, only when required by lawshe is a dream companion. We have had dozens of folks approach us about her incredible training and behavior.

My sister recently got a Belgian shepherd puppy and was asking me about how we trained our dogs and David's tapes immediately came to mind. We had a worn out VHS tape but I was able to track down David's website and find the DVD's. I personally liked the 80's version, it is very charming and light-hearted and you are easily convinced that ANY dog can learn from this and will soon be at your side. (I loved the Borzoi!) All of the dogs and David's interactions with them are caring and respectful and the dogs sense that. I absolutely recommend this training to anyone who wants to have a mindful canine companion!

David Dikeman's program came highly recommended to me and my new puppy by my sister, who has used his training system on three vizsla puppies over the past 20 years! David simplifies for you the process of training your dog to learn basic and necessary survival skills and manners. Easy to watch, easy to follow with solid results. David knows his stuff, is a very likable host, and hey, I kinda like the 80's styles! I'm looking forward to his next DVD training session!

My mom purchased command performance by David ten years ago for my dog. I remember how he was before command performance, he would just dart off, not come when called, but just after the first lesson amazing things began to happen. He began to listen, pay attention to me. Well now after ten years I am using it again on my three dogs, 2 chocolate labs and a havanese. My newest lab is 7 months old, but because of the program, he is learning to behave much faster than I ever had with my first dog. I know anyone that has the time and dedication, will find this program to be their best friend to training. If you are tired of a disobedient dog, you have to purchase this program, it will save you millions of heartaches. Thank you David for a simple and easy program to transform a dog truly into man's best friend.

Lambert Kay Boundary Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent Aerosol Spray, 14-Ounce

Lambert Kay Boundary Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent Aerosol Spray, 14-OunceI used Boundary to ATTEMPT to keep my cats out of the garden. I am highly disappointed. I have 4 cats and it did not stop even one of them from entering the garden area! I applied to the soil first as the can suggested--didnt' work, then I applied to an old towel, as the can suggested, didn't work--even tried applying to a cardboard box--nope--I sprayed and resprayed--NOTHING! I spent almost $12 and it's a faux!

So I tried it for the couch, did not work. For the doors, did not work. Soaked a cloth with it and hung it over the couchdid not work. The moment I spray my cat walks up. Sniffs. And gets cozy. For me and my cat, this was a waste of money. Hope other people have more success.

This stuff doesn't work. I don't know if it is because it evaporates very quickly (less than 24 hours), or if it just plain doesn't work. I tried using it to keep the cats out of the dining room, but they continue pooping on the carpet regardles of whether I use the spray.

Love Boundary because it keeps my dog out of the garbage. O is addicted to getting in the garbage. We tried weighing it down, putting pepper juice on it, putting it in the cabinet under the sink and a bunch of other strategies and nothing worked because he was on a mission to pillage the garbage. I found this on discount at a drug store and said, "what the heck?!".

He now stays away from the trash.

You have to spray it once/day.

The smell is like citronella.

It keeps my beast out of the trash!

Love it and will continue to buy it.

Great idea, but I suppose you have to train your pups early to use this method because my old dogs still just scratch away at the paint on the door.

MyHipWear Training Pouch

MyHipWear Training PouchI purchased this training pouch several months ago and I love it. It is perfect for walking with my dog, I have everything I need with me, treats, doggy bags, keys and cell phone. I love that there is a separate pocket for my cell phone, its quick and easy to answer. I have tried other treat bags but that fact that this one clips around the waist makes it so convenient.

SportDOG ProHunter, SD-2525

SportDOG ProHunter, SD-2525Long range, worked in the forest over 3/4 miles. Amazing battery life, over a month with intermittent daily use. Rugged, through the dirt and into the water no problem.

Wish it had a strap/clip for the transmitter.

I love this collar, my dog responds very god on this highrange produkt, i started with "Aetertek AT-216S-350W Remote Dog Training Shock Collar" and it was a very bad produkt.....but now i am glad after i got this one :-) Thank you very mutch for this SportDOG collar :-)

Just as advertised this product is a "workhorse." It is able to be used in pretty much any type of weather and for long durations of times. In combination with the add-a-dog product, this has product has worked great on several different hunting trips and with my own dogs as well as my buddies. Definitely recommend it to anyone serious about hunting, as advertised this product can be used with many different types of dogs.

We got this to replace our "trashbuster" collars (6 years old) who's rechargable batteries just wouldn't hold a charge any longer. We have 4 dogs. I wish I'd paid better attention when purchasing as there are only the 3 buttons, so you have to flip the tiny switch for the 4th dog. Makes getting the correction for the right dog difficult (in a timely manner) and then when you are in the wrong position the wrong dogs gets the correction which really is not a good training tool. Then when you have more than 3 dogs, you much chose EITHER tone or vibration to set the control. You can not use both interchangable. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST. The batteries need recharging very frequently, as least compared to our older unit. And the battery fails just when you need it most! I would not recommend this brand of e-collar.

Dog Pet Pen Playpen CLS-960 Small - Pink w/Top

Dog Pet Pen Playpen CLS-960 Small - Pink w/TopI love this crate! It's gorgeous! Looks way better than the black crates or silver crates/kennels.

It's a perfect fit for my Bichon's height. Some Bichons and other small dogs are climbers though, so it may be possible for them to climb out. It's about 3 feet high, though, so it's not that easy to climb out of. It looks awesome. I do wish the seller offered a top for it. I see in the picture on my item it shows a label with an optional top. I can't read the language so I don't know what it says or how I can get a top. I would love to get one, just in case my dog tries to get out, jump over, or climb over it.

The white fencing part is metal and very strong. The white bottom is like the regular kennels that you see in the store which are plastic, but a little better quality than the black flooring in the regular kennels. But the pink posts are plastic. I am trying to think of a way to describe the plastic. It is like plastic on a toy. It's not that I think it is weak, but I just thought the pink part was going to be like the resin on slides at the kids' park. It's not. If you bang the plastic against something hard or hit it with a hammer it will shatter in pieces. I don't like that it's cheap plastic on the posts, but would I return it? No way! It looks awesome! If your dog is calm and a smaller breed, then it will be fine. But if you have a german shepherd puppy, this kennel is not strong enough for it for sure!

Still I give it 5 stars because the company shipped it right away, it is new, looks exactly as the picture you see (minus the water bottle, pink bed, and training pad holder) and it looks cute cute cute!! Even my adult male Bichon went in it because he liked it so much! Lol.

I love the pink playpen. It gives lots of room for our maltese to play in but she was able to jump out.

I'm not sure if the mesh roof will keep her in. It is an attractive playpen vs the metal crates.

It did arrive very promptly and we added the water bottle to the side.

Dog Pet Pen Playpen CLS-960 Small Pink. Item arrived in huge box totally in Chinese. Worse, extensive assembly instructions of 30-40 pieces were in Chinese. In addition, bars were too far apart for my tiny puppy and she could have gotten stuck. I was told only way to return was by paying $20-25 (on a $69 item). Seller would not provide prepaid UPS label so I could have box picked up as it was too heavy to carry and would not fit in my car to return by USPS mail as seller demanded. Amazon's guarantee was of no help as it only reinforced seller's policies. BEWARE this seller and its hidden policies and total lack of customer service. Wag.com pays all postage for returns, provides a label and timely credit and also provides all assembly instructions in English. This was my worst experience purchasing an item from an internet seller and I have purchased hundreds of items.

Love it!

The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because of my initial impression of the product. It came in a box from china without a scratch of English on the box or the instructions and the corners are made with a fragile looking plastic.

But once assembled I was truly amazed. I love it and highly recommend it. My yorkie loves it as it is not confining as the traditional pens and there is no zipper that breaks or get stuck as in the newest fad in pet pens (which I had and highly discourage anyone from buying). Also it is very attractive looking and I actually receive compliments on as it is in my living room.

I loved this so much until I just ordered the yelllow one. My two little Yorkie puppies love this playpen. It was just the right size for our bedroom and the crate looks nice (as far as crates go.) The service was GREAT and would order from ABC anytime any place.
