Bravo! Premium Freeze-Dried Training Treats for Dogs, Turkey 2.5 OZ

Bravo! Premium Freeze-Dried Training Treats for Dogs, Turkey 2.5 OZI have 3 Greyhounds that absolutely LOVE these turkey training treats.....my oldest one is fussy and I used to cook fresh chicken breast to cut up on her food......she loves these just as much...take a few and shred then on her kibble and mix-up it up (yes, they all get some)...she barks to let me know she needs more put on her food...naturally, I oblige her....I figure I am saving money on this vs cost of fresh chicken breast plus no cooking, no clean-up and no refrigeration.....she has food allegies to anything with chicken, turkey or lamb by-products in it (believe me there is a lot of dog food out there with them in it). She also has pancreatitis (must eat low fat food)...these are low in fat (4%) as are the Buffalo Bites that she also likes a lot...all in all a really plus for her diet....found the trail mix as samples during a Meet & Greet at Dogs & Company in Columbia MD. Thanks Bravo for making this quality food product that can be used for more than training treats!

I use treats for obedience and agility classes. I need a treat that is not crunchy, but chewy and capable of breaking up into small bits. This product is already a perfect training treat size, so I do not have to spend time cutting the pieces into soy bean sized bits. Have yet to see them in action but I am sure my pup will love them.

These treats are a bit on the expensive side but worth it. My dog absolutely loves them! She gets so excited when she sees the bag, like no other treats I've tried. She sits and lays down randomly when I hold the bag, hoping she will get a reward.

Remote Training Shock Collar for 3 dogs

Remote Training Shock Collar for 3 dogsAll batteries were included with this item. Too bad they were all dead, and are special sizes I have never seen before. Now I need another 15.00 to purchase these batteries when I find someone that has these odd sized batteries

These did not work for us at all. The collar batteries dies so fast, even on the collar that wasn't used much. They're not cheap batteries either. I had a 2 dog set before this, and it used AAA in the collar and the expensive ones in the remote. That was so much better. I don't recommend this set of shock collars at all.

I am disappointed in the results I have gotten from the bark collars. My 2 small dogs, bark as if nothing is around their neck. I have tried all levels. I suppose I need something stronger.

Venture Series Trainer Remote

PetSafe Venture Series Little Dog Remote Trainer, 400-Yard Range, PDT00-11875We have been very pleased with the Petsafe Venture Series LONG DISTANCE trainer. Prior to purchasing it, we borrowed several different training collars from friends and this is by far the best value for the money! In fact, it responds just a well as a system that is twice its price. It is actually better because the collar is so much lighter! I have been surprised that I can leave the collar turned on all the time and only have to recharge it once a week. The remote has a auto off/on so I haven't had to recharge it at all yet (one month). Note: My dog doesn't need continual correction so you might have to charge yours more often. The "boost" button comes in handy when our dog is heading for a neighbor's cat. Please remember with any system you buy take at least 2 days to "dummy" train your dog--they feel the collar on them and they see you pushing buttons (no batteries) but they receive no negative correction. If you fail to do this they will only obey when you have the remote with you. The 1000 yard range is wonderful. I have never written a review before, but I really wanted to recommend this product.

Product seems to function as advertised with tones and shocks working. Dogs respond well to both stimulations. Quality of product is very FRAGILE. Both reciever and transmitter housing made of very thin plastic. Collar is very stretchy rubber that even when applied tight, a big dog can still get a toe nail in and forcefully take off his neck. I bought the extra collar also so I could train 2 dogs at once. 1st collar broke off in the woods somewhere, dog came back without it. 2nd collar dog removed it himself a couple of times and I found it in the yard, but the last time he removed he decided to chew it up. Petsafe customer service says they would replace if defective but dont consider a collar that a dog can remove or that breaks while running through the brush a defect.???? Just as a note while in the brush all 5 of my dogs always wear tracking collars for past several years and never once has one of them ever come off. Innotek adv 1000 was a good sturdy product made by petsafes "sister" company that I used problem free for many years but they discontinued it and now recommend petsafe as the replacement,dont be fooled.

Barney the 18 mth old Lakeland Terrier tried hard to beat us out of the door & barked whenever we left the room when we wanted him to stay behind. It was so annoying and despite our best efforts we were not having any success. We thought a good flogging would do the trick but we love the mutt too much for that. So what to do???

The "Remote Trainer" was the answer.. We read the training instructions..He's a smart dog and after a couple of jolts with the remote trainer he got the message.. We now only have to resort to the tone signal for him to sit quietly as we make our escape..good dog..

In the Yard, he went ferral when the postman called.. couple of jolts.. got the message, don't bark and leap up at the gate at postmen, passerbys, visitors.

In the park he would chase and retrieve a ball but would not give it up, preferring instead to prance around, in the hope that I would give chase to get it(something the grandkids would do). With the help of the remote trainer and a pocket full of dog treats he now retrieves the ball drops it at my feet(tone only) sits and gets a treat.. Yes...

This is still a work in progress but he has become a much more manageble dog..our anxiety level has gone down, which means his has as well..Good product.. I recommend.

I recently purchased the PetSafe PDT00-11876 and have nothing but great results. We have a 90 pound hound that is a fairly obedient dog while he is on leash. However, the moment the leash is removed, he would take off as fast as possible. After having the collar on him for about a half a day of training, we are able to go for hour long walks without the use of a leash. He stays close by and when he does want to run, he never goes further than about 100 ft then he comes back. He did get out to about 300 ft in an open field, when I though it was far enough, I only needed to use the tone. He stopped, turned around and came right back. There was no calling for him or worries that he would not return.

I did read in another review that the collor may loosen or fall off. To prevent this, I secured the collar as the instructions stated, then I secured the collar clasp with a small zip tie.

Looking back I wish I had purchased this two years ago. My dog is so much happier being able to walk around without the restraint of a leash.

Got the collar for my bear of a lab, it works great for training! Tried other methods of training, this did the trick to stop bad habits, not good when you have a 100lbs of dog jumping on people. The collar does great for aiding in basics and especially when you are trying to gain confidence with your dog off lease. I left my dog with collar on when I went to the bathroom came out, some how he took the collar off, and chewed it up some. I called the company to try and purchase just the collar and was refused because it wasn't covered by warranty! I asked for just the collar to purchase and I was denied again, just offered to pay the $200 again, which I originally paid for it. What the company did not tell me was that I can purchase a new collar, as a "second collar." I found this out by the research on the internet. If you have problems the company will only cause frustration and a waste of your time. If i had to do it over again I would not buy from this company, but I would defiantly use a training collar again.

Herm Sprenger Pinch Dog Collar with Quick Release Snap LRG

Herm Sprenger Pinch Dog Collar with Quick Release Snap LRGThis project is better than many you'll find in stores because it's easy to put on/take off your pet. It's not as "sturdy" as similar products, though, so it may not be appropriate for a very strong dog.

Sergeant's Yippee Skippy Doggie Training Pads

Sergeant's Yippee Skippy Doggie Training Pads, 100-CountAs for as pads go they did their job, they kept my dog from peeing directly on the floor most of the time. However, they are far from being "super absorbent" as they claim on the packaging. The pads are quite smaller than most name brands and probably the thinnest pad I've ever encountered. They were flimsy and urine frequently ran over the sides because of the lacking absorbency. To give an example, the pads reminded me of paper towels made from recycled material. Because of this I had to use more pads than I usually would, which was fine with me because I was happy to get rid of them.

This pads are very absorbent. If the dog doesn't quite get it in the middle, it absorbs it so as not to go off the edge. Much better price than the store. Will be ordering this brand again.

Too small and too thin, even for a 10lb female Maltese/Shih Tzu mix. Don't waste your money. In this case, you buy cheap...you get cheap.

I have a 4 pound dog that is trained to "go" on potty pads... I find that this brand is the perfect size (large enough to avoid accidents) and is waterproof, protecting our new hardwood floors. And the price CANNOT be beat.

Easy Walk Harness - Small, Green

Easy Walk Harness - Small, GreenI purchased this harness not so much to reduce pulling as to protect my dog's sore neck from being jerked by a leash on his collar. He can pull backwards out of every harness I've tried that attaches the leash on the shoulders/back. With the Easy Walk, the leash is clipped at the front of the chest and is a perfect solution.

I have tried a couple different harnesses and collars on my small dog the help him walk better because he constantly pulls. The Easy Walk harness is not perfect, but it definitely helped! My dog doesn't seem to really like it too much and it took a walk or 2 for him to get use to the harness, but now he walks better just knowing it is on him.

DO NOT leave the harness on your dog when you are not walking him because he will bite it off of himself. My dog likes to grab the front part with him mouth and chew on it. He successfully destroyed one after only a week or 2 of having it so i had to order a new one. That was completely my fault though.

ANTI BARK STOP BARKING ELECTRIC SHOCK DOG TRAINING COLLAR

ANTI BARK STOP BARKING ELECTRIC SHOCK DOG TRAINING COLLARWe have a dog who was barking non stop from sunup to sunset and now it is quiet and we love it

I purchased two of these collars and was very surprised to find the metal stems to be about an inch long. There's no way you can tighten the collar against a dog's neck without impaling his/her neck! Fortunately, I had purchased a different collar with shorter metal stems and switched them over.

The good part about the collars-they work on my stubborn territorial terriers. The warning sound is all it takes now for either of them to stop barking and just watch anyone who walks past the house. We are still working on staying quit when the "wicked neighbor lady" is out in her yard. ;)

My advice--if you have smaller dogs like mine (18-25 lbs), you should find a source for for shorter metal shock stems.

I was pretty skeptical about it being as cheap as it was. However it works and does what it is suppose to do. I don't really think it is the best Training collar on the market, it detecting barking is probably the only feature worth mentioning. How the collar works: Dog Barks.. Collar beeps loud.. Dog Barks when in 30 seconds of the first bark.. Collar beeps loud this time longer.. Dog barks again with in 30 seconds of the second bark.. Collar Gives a slight shock for about 5 seconds. It will continue to shock if the dog continues to bark within 30 seconds of the second bark. I don't recommend this if your god gets smart and figures out that its okay to bark a little... It will not eliminate barking, just make him/her bark less. If that is what you are looking for then this collar is for you! The sensitivity of the barking detecting is actually pretty good only went off a couple times while my dog was scratching. That is adjustable though, and for those wondering: The Collar does not give a very powerful shock, nothing I wouldn't do to myself in my opinion its harmless.

cheap but for 5 bucks ah duh each battier is 5 bucks and for big dog i wouldnt get it, battiers last but a week and in the long run it would be cheaper to get a 50 to 75 dollar one

This collar may be okay, if only the battery had fit the battery compartment. Poorly engineered. On the positive side, the snap collar is awesome...i took the shocker off an old collar and fixed it to this collar and it is super easy to take on and off.

Garmin TT10 GPS Track and Train Dog Device

Garmin TT10 GPS Track and Train Dog Device
  • TT 10 is equipped with a top-mounted, high-sensitivity GPS receiver and braided steel VHF antenna
  • Replaceable 1-inch collar strap with additional colors available
  • Rechargeable Li-ion batteries in Alpha 100 handheld and TT 10 dog device(TT 10 dog device: 24-48 hours depending on update rate)
  • Dog rescue mode switches TT 10 to a two minute update rate when the battery is less than 25% - extending battery life

I've had the Alpha for about a week now, been out 4 times with it. Initially I like the unit. I had a tritronics G2 Upland exp with a beeper and liked it but in the thick woods especally hunting grouse there were quite a few times I lost track of my dog for awhile, she can get out of hearing range very quickly. I like the peace of mind I get from the Alpha knowing where the dog is and I can actually leave the dog hunt better rather than calling her back so I know where she is. I havn't got used to holding the handheld unit yet to see where the dog has gone. Everything has worked as advertised so far with no problems.That being said there are a few things I would change. One thing is the dog alerts I have setup to tell me when she,s on point. It takes about 15 seconds after she goes on point before I get an alert, and I only get one alert no matter how long she is on point. I guess I kind of miss the beeper with my old unit although it could be annoying when she was hunting close. I don't like the charging adapter for the TT 10 collar, sometimes it doesn't make contact until you wiggle it a littleit could of been designed better especially for the price of the unit. Garmin is a good name and I have 2 other gps units by garmin and I like them but thier website sucks, it freezes, is hard to navigate. Tritronics, IMHO is the best name in the dog traning arena and these 2 companys worked together on this unit. I got this unit on a 30 day trial bases, at this time I am probably going to keep the unit. This does so many things that I havn't figured out yet. I thought the long antenna on the collar may be restrictive for the dog but she doesn't seem to mind it too much, I saw her once or twice biting at it when it would touch her side, but that was in the first hour of wearing it since then she seems ok with it. They claim 9 mile range with this unit but here in cental PA I don't think it will go quite that far, I had my wife jump in the car and go for a drive with the collar, she got about 4 miles away and dropped down into a deeper small hollow and I lost track of her on the map screen but I could still operate the training portion of the collar and when she came out of the hollow I picked her up again on the map, The fartherst she went was about 5 miles, pretty impressive to me. I intend on returning and updating this review after I have had the unit for awhile. This is a little on the pricey side but we all love our dogs so much it gives you peace of mind. I only have 1 dog but I can see the value in this unit if you run a pack of hunting dogs together this unit would be worth every dime. UPDATE-11/23/2012I've been out about 20 times now and I LOVE this collar, I miss that anoying beeper less and less. The battery life is great, the gps tracking dead on, and now I can find my truck everytime too. I have not had any problems with the unit at all although I dread trying to use Garmins website for updates, I constantly have problems with thier website.If you can afford it and love your dogs I would highly recommend purchasing this unit. UPDATE2/20/2013Hunting season is over here. I have had an issue twice with this unit. The collar would just turn itself off, this happened only twice to me. I started researching and found on Tri-tronics forum it was happening to others too but only occasionally, then about a month ago Garmin answered a question I sent to support about the issue saying that if you wear a second collar on the dog behind the Alpha 100 and the metal part of the collar touches the charging terminals it will shut down the unit. They reccommend either wearing the second collar in front of the Alpha or put electrical tape across the charging terminals. This has only happened to me twice and I havn't changed anything about the way I wear it on my dog. I still think it is a great unit, but as I said before they could have done a better job on the charging terminals.

I have used a Garmin GPS and Tritronics Pro series collar for the last few years. I found the system to be very intuitive, easy to set up and use. Can't beat the simplicity of an integrated system. Great battery life. Only thing that could be a little better is light placement on the collar it tends to get hidden in a long haired dog.

I love in an area where there are homes but right in my backyard are thousands of acres of wilderness. It is great to have the ability to know that the dogs are out running in the wide open and not in someone's back yard. PS no leash law in the area.

I purchased this because of it's range and versatility. It has exceeded my expectation. I can track more than one dog and switch the collar between two dogs effortlessly. The GPS is very accurate. I am still learning the features.

I have a pointer that runs big. The Garmin Alpha GPS Track and Train System gives me confidence that I know where my dog is and I can control her. It's a lot more fun now.
