Dean and Tyler La Main Naked Short Handle Leash, Black 1-Foot by 3/4-Inch Width With Solid Brass Sna

Dean and Tyler La Main Naked Short Handle Leash, Black 1-Foot by 3/4-Inch Width With Solid Brass Snap Hook.The short handle leash is easy to use with two high energy boxers who love to pull. Great quality with a nice storage bag as a bonus.

I think everything from Dean & Tyler is overpriced, but there really weren't too many other very short leashes to compete against this and the other ones I saw all seemed kind of flimsy. I wish I could have gotten this for less money, but it is well made and it should last for many years.

Omega Paw SP Door Hanging Scratch Pad - Assorted Colors

Omega Paw SP Door Hanging Scratch Pad - Assorted ColorsMy cat loves her scratching pad, and it was the best $5 I've ever invested. Chooch isn't much of a scratcher -she does like the side of my bed and the antique chenille sofa in my living room -but she's a stretch scratcher, and this scratching pad is right up her ally. She wouldn't touch it when it was hanging from a doorknob, but she's very happy with it on the floor. After she scratches on it, she loves to sit on it as if to keep anybody else in the house from claiming it.

My cats (both very playful) will absolutely not scratch this thing, even if I cover it in catnip. I'm giving it 3 stars because it arrived on time and is as advertised, it's just useless in my house.

ETA I'm taking away a star because my cats figured out how to use it as a door knocker and it makes me nearly jump out of my skin. Useless AND annoying.

The carpet on this is really short and the strip overall is too narrow. I tried hanging it on several doorknobs and even anchoring it on the floor to no avail.

It is somewhat pricey considering shipment, anyway my can does not use it as intended, she likes it when flat on the floor!

I tried it in several locations. On the floor, on the door and in their faces. I rubbed it with catnip and tried to charm them with treats and they still looked at me like I was smoking crack. 'What exactly do want us to do with THAT thing, Mom?'

My girls will play with pretty much ANYTHING, except this THING.

I went over to Petco about week later and bought a super-cheapie carpet-covered 2' stand clawing post with a feather toy and the girls said 'Now that's what we're talkin' bout, Mom'.

In my opinion don't waste your money.

Kakadu Pet Empire Tracks Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, 1/2" x 4-6ft, Midnight (Black with Gray Stitch)

Kakadu Pet Empire Tracks Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, 1/2' x 4-6ft, Midnight I ordered this leash because the previous one I had ordered was much too short. This one was just the perfect length. I have a short-legged Jack Russell, and we like a longer lead since she likes to walk ahead. I know Cesar Milan would not agree, but what can I say, she is a Terrier after all...

In hindsight I could have just gotten a 6 foot leash. I am pretty sure I am not going to use the adjustable feature. I like the look of it though. Very nice with the stitching.

Old Mother Hubbard Mini and Training Snacks for Dogs, 7-1/2-Ounce Pouch

Old Mother Hubbard Mini and Training Snacks for Dogs, Meaties Chicken Flavor, 7-1/2-Ounce PouchWhat can a person say about a dog treat. They are all the same, right? Wrong. I have tried so many treats on the market that I can't remember half of them any longer. I like the Old Mother Hubbard Meaties treats for dogs...chicken flavor. First of all the size is perfect to use in training your dog. So many of the training treats out there are just too small or too large. These treats are the perfect size. I usually get the chicken flavor but with the extra chicken added. It comes in Lamb and Liver flavor too. When I yell to my dogs that I have a 'special treat for you' they come running, which is what I want. They even know where I keep it and poke it with their noses while they wait impatiently for me to open the bag. I make them sit before I give it to them. They love the flavor of the extra chicken treats and never turn it down. I like it because of the size and my use in training with the dogs. I usually buy them 10 bags at a time because I go through them so fast. It's one of my favorite things to reach for with the dogs. The price has continued to go up on this product but so has it for other dog treats as well. I also like the fact that Old Mother Hubbard uses only a good quality of things in their products.

I purchased the chicken flavor treats to use as a training reward for my 6 mo old German Shephard during our clicker training sessions. I have used soft treats in the past, and thought that these might be a better deal at just over $3 with 15% off. The treats were larger than I thought they would be (pictures are always deceiving). They are a little larger than the thumbnail of an average adult. When I used these treats as a reward, it took my GSD a lot longer to crunch the treat and swallow than the soft treats. My GSD is messy, and the crumbles fell on the floor which took even more time for her to clean up. It really seemed to impede the flow of training, so I will not be using these for training in the future. As a treat, they are great.

I have used them as treats for most of their lives. I throw a handful in the grass and they apparently can't see them because they run around with their noses to the ground to find them. Great exercise : )

I hate to repeat myself but read my review for Three Dog Bakery Roll Over treats. Basically the same I think. But my dog will ask for both. So guess they taste different. lol

Dean and Tyler Wire Basket Muzzle, Size No. R3 - Large Rottweiler

Dean and Tyler Wire Basket Muzzle, Size No. R3 - Large RottweilerVery well constructed and high quality, my only disappointment in this product is that I bought the wrong size for my dog and I'm located way in the caribbean. I well definitely buy another one in a smaller size, as soon as I get rid of the one I can't use.

I bought this muzzle for my Pit Bull. She doesn't mind putting it on at all! She hasn't quite figured out how to drink while having it on yet though. The problems I've had with this muzzle isn't really a manufacture problem, except I have a little annoyed problem with the middle bar that runs vertical, in the middle of where the nose would be. It seems like that part is too close to her nose and tends to rub against it. I sincerely think it bothers me more than it does my dog, cause she doesn't seem to mind it at all, but to me it seems bothersome. The only other thing is, she did manage to slip it off once, but that was only because my husband had it one notch too loose. So, be sure to always pay attention to what notch it's supposed to be on, or one notch too loose makes it easy to slip off. Other than that, I love this muzzle. My husband and I have been looking and researching good muzzles for Bully breeds for a long time. I was a little hesitant at first, because it does look rather intimidating, and Bully breeds already have such a bad rep, I didn't want my girl to look vicious. I've soon noticed her constant tail wagging diminishes that vicious look its tends to give her, so that was no longer an issue.

This is a great product for my Rot. It fits her great and it was easy to train her with it. I haven't been able to get her to eat a treat or drink with it yet. It looks intimidating at first but people seam less fearful to pass her when walking now.

Pet Buddies PB1715 Googlie Rocky Rabbit Large Toy

Pet Buddies PB1715 Googlie Rocky Rabbit Large ToyI love this toy. My dog was so determined to destroy it as she has all her other toys. She chewed on the thing until she fell asleep. On day two after great effort, she was finally able to gnaw off a leg (but that's it!) It is definitely durable and I doubt it will end up in the trash any time soon. It was definitely worth the $8.37 I paid for it.

This toy is great for larger breed dogs with strong jaws. It takes a fairly good "bite" and "chomp" to get the squeaker to make any sound. Very durable and a great gum massage for the pup who can get their mouth around it. The first thing to get chewed off are the little stumpy legs and the ends of the ears. Otherwise this toy has survived the test of puppy hood! I love the comic quality of it.

I've bought a few of these Googlie toys now and my dog, Frank, LOVES them! I'm not sure if it's the squeaking or the texture of the toy, but he absolutely loves these toys!

I'm not sure how long this toy is going to last, but given how much Frank loves it, I don't care!
