Hyper Products Woody Barbell

Hyper Products Woody Barbell, LargeWithin a day of purchase, this particular toy began to come apart in chunks. It was bought to replace the large version of this same toy that had been purchased locally almost 6 months before, and is still being played with by our medium-sized dog. I don't know why there is such a difference in two products produced by the same company.

Rogz Grinz Treat Ball Dog Toy, Medium Orange

Rogz Grinz Treat Ball Dog Toy, Medium OrangeThis was much cooler than I expected! By looking at the picture I thought it might be a soft type of plastic, not very long lasting for a Bulldog, but it was such a clever idea and affordable, so I ordered it. My dog loves it, and it is very strong and yet still chewy. I was also surprised to find it has an opening to insert a treat, which my dog loves. I plan to buy more of these to doinate to the bulldog rescue organization that I volunteer with.

had it sent it to my granddog in Alaska...I haven't seen it, but he loves it and looks funny with it.

...For me! LOL Sure tennis balls are cheaper and your dog isn't going to care, really, so why should you get this? Well I bought it because it's funny looking in my dogs mouth. It also has a hole in it to put treat or peanut butter. So far it's proven very durable!!! Just get it... it's a fancy ball for your pup!!!

Ethical Pet Puppy Pull Outdoor Interactive Dog Toy

Ethical Pet Puppy Pull Outdoor Interactive Dog ToyGood concept however, my 17 lb pomeranian had it torn up in half hour and brought me part of the plastic pieces.....

Great dog toy. It would be fairly simple to make one of these, but if you can get it decently priced like i did, it is well worth it. I am in a apt and tied this on the upper deck on my patio. it has a little 4in bungy that allows it give and go for your dog. The only complaint was the rope with balls was pretty cheap and my dog tore through it in about a week. The big positive is that it is really easy to just replace the rope. You can pretty much get any kind of rope to replace. I just bought a larger more sturdy rope for it and it has lasted almost the past year.

K9 Granola Factory Soft Bakes Wisconsin Cheddar

K9 Granola Factory Soft Bakes Wisconsin CheddarNo complaint at all. I like the soft bakes as my dogs are over 10 years of age and have a hard time chewing. They like these and would probably eat the whole bag if I let them. Recommend to all pet lovers.

Grin Daily Treats - 4 ounce

Grin Daily Treats - 4 ounceI've been searching for a treat to give my dogs to help ensure healthy teeth and better breath, and these looked perfect because they are made of all natural ingredients and do not contain any wheat, soy, corn, dairy or sugar. These treats are small, about twice the size of a bullion cube and semi-soft but tough enough that the dogs have to work to chew them. To me, they stink, I don't like the smell of them.

I have four dogs:

two of which who will eat nearly anything you give them, a boxer and a Boston terrier

one who is a typical dog about what he'll eat and who has teeth problems, a long haired Chihuahua

and another who is super finicky, a Boston terrier

The super finicky one will not eat these. The long haired Chihuahua, the one who needs to these treats the most, has to be coaxed into eating these and sometimes he just won't. The other two big eaters, will grudgingly eat these but that can also be hit or miss too on some days. Unfortunately, it's chore getting my dogs to eat these.

I'd recommend getting these treats in the small 4 ounce size the first time to be sure your dogs will eat them.

These are great treats for dogs. They are healthy and clean there teeth. My dog has gastrointestinal issues and I have never had an issue with these treats with him. He absolutely loves them.

My dog really likes these treats. I haven't used them long enough to evaluate if they are helping her bad breath but I feel that since they are made from natural ingredients and my dog enjoys them what harm can it do.

Arm & Hammer Floor Protection Pads, 75-Count

Arm & Hammer Floor Protection Pads, 75-CountI've tried many brands of pee pads (from the leading brands to unheard ones), they are whether has problems such as leaks, too thin so it would messed up easily, or too expensive (very common), sometimes it's so expensive that it's ridiculous! I finally tried A&H puppy pads, bought it (unfortunately only available) at Target around $13 for 50 pk + 5 pk of bonus inside. So far only 1 out of 8 leaks, but i can live with that since the price to quality and quantity ratio is hard to beat. Another good pad i've tried is "Simply Out!" brand, also at target. These two are the best if you have indoor dogs or puppies.

I really dont know what you all are talking about they are absolutely leak resistant. My multipoo is about 15 lbs and I have no problem. When she goes, the pads completely absorb and my house never has an odor. They are worth it and I recommend them. I have been using them for about 4 years now and never have they let me down. Thumbs up for me.

Buy Arm & Hammer Floor Protection Pads, 75-Count Now

I have been using these pads for years and really like them. They are a good size and seem to be fairly leak-proof to me. I have a 22-lb shih tzu that makes rather large puddles. These generally soak it up, although it takes a few minutes for the liquid to be absorbed.

They did switch to white backing a little while ago, but lately the ones I've gotten (not from Amazon) have been blue. The blue is much better since you couldn't tell with the white which side was the absorbant one.

I also use these pads when I have to express the dogs' anal glands. That is such a messy, stinky job that I use the pads so I don't get any on my hands.

my wife buys these pads. they used to have a blue background, with absorbent white pads in the middle. now they changed to white background, making it impossible to see which side is which. it's so annoying when the dog pees on the wrong side that you thought is the absorbent side. never buy these again.

These pads are amazing! My tiny pomeranian was trained on these pads with no coaxing in one day! I have had no problems with leaks, and they have a nice, fresh smell. (At least at first!) The price is right, the product is great!

Tri-Tronics Classic 70 G3 EXP Training Collar

Tri-Tronics Classic 70 G3 EXP Training CollarOnly one small issue but I got that figured out. To get the transmitter to charge you have to put the transmitter in the cradle and then push it back to make it 'click' into place to connect. It took me a little bit to get this figured out. The instructions only say to ensure you hear a "positive click." Once you get that squared away, it charges quickly and holds a charge for several days (depending on use, I'm sure).

It works great if you have multiple dogs (up to 6).

You can adjust the intensity of the stimulation, but it isn't as easy as some of the other Tri-Tronics models.

Some of them you can press one button for light stimulation and another button for more stimulation. Both buttons for max stimulation on the specific level selected.

This unit doesn't work like that. Three buttons and one switch. each button controls one of three collars. Flip the switch and control another three collars. Stimulation dial is on top (level 1 6). This is NOT a bad unit and I use it daily. Just not what I was expecting. But that was my fault for not reading up on it enough.

Battery life is fantastic and training video that comes with it is great.

This is great for behavior modification. I agree that this collar has a lot of power and should be used responsibly, so contact your dog trainer for instruction on its use. Tri Tronics does provide great inst on its use though. I do not like how big the receiver and transmitter are, but this collar does work for my dog whereas Dogtra was not enough for him.

Great Collar. It has given me piece of mind and saved my dogs life. I hated the fact I had to buy one. I have had a lot of dogs over the years and never needed one. I live on a ranch and my year old english bully haus has decided he does not like cows. We have only had to zap him twice on 1. Now when needed we use the warning. He is good as gold. I bought this item because it has the capabilty to expand up to six.

Puppy Bumper - Keep Your Dog on the Safe Side of the Fence - Navy Dot - up to 10"

Puppy Bumper - Keep Your Dog on the Safe Side of the Fence - Navy Dot - up to 10'it really keeps my Schnoodle from running thru my new iron fence....i need to buy a few more! definitely buy a separate collar to keep on the bumper so you dont have to weave in and out every time your put on bumper

We built our wrought iron fence and were excited to finally let the dogs run around the backyard until we realized one of them could slip through it. Someone recommended Puppy Bumpers so I looked them up and ordered one from amazon. It worked for a few minutes, until our dog (a Lhaso Apso so not a tiny dog and not the most intelligent dog either) figured out he could turn his head and get the puppy bumper through. It's a standard iron fence he can't get through every picket but it doesn't take long for him to find a way. This may work better on balconies where the pickets would be closer together.

I bought the Puppy Bumper to keep my dog from going through the fence when he visits my parents' house. It works well and my dog doesn't seem to mind wearing it since it's lightweight. I bought a separate collar to leave on the Puppy Bumper at all times so I don't always have to take his regular collar off and thread the Bumper through it. I wish there were more colors to choose from. Other than that, it's a great invention and great way to keep your dogs safe!

Dean and Tyler Nylon Night Dog Leash, Black 6-Feet by 3/4-Inch Width With Solid Brass Hardware.

Dean and Tyler Nylon Night Dog Leash, Black 6-Feet by 3/4-Inch Width With Solid Brass Hardware.I've been using this leash for about 6 months now and love it. My dog does is not a chewer so I don't know if it's strong enough for that. What I love most is that the leash can be used in so many ways (to "clip" down to an object such as a dinner table at an outdoor restaurant, as a long leash, as an over-the-body hand's free solution, etc.). Great flexibility for many situations while with your beloved canine friend. Highly recommended!

PetSafe In-Ground Radio Fence

PetSafe In-Ground Radio FenceI bought this three years ago, no problem, nill. I LOVE IT!! It came with specific instructions on setup and detailed instructions for training. Those who don't love it, either didn't follow the directions or didn't follow through with the training, both of which take time and commitment. I even trained my friends' dogs on it with extra collars I keep around, so their dogs wouldn't dig in my flowers. I have had to replace the batteries in the collars only once in the three years. I got it because one of my dogs was a jumper...but no more. You'll love it, I promise.

It was the best purchase I've ever made. When introducing your pet to the device, be patient. Make sure to use positive reinforcement. The directions tell you it is a 30-day training process with you dog. It actually only took 2-days for us. I repeat, it was the best purchase I've ever made!

We are using the Petsafe with a cat collar on a 9 lb Yorkie. I was concerned about the strength of the correction but the settings work great. We started with the lowest one but eventually moved it to the second lowest. You can see him stop and back up when he gets it. However after about 2 weeks of training per the instructions he hardly ever gets the correction. He knows where to stop. We knew he was not afraid of it when he got the receiver off of the table one day and brought it to me to take him out. It is so great to watch him stay right inside the flags and bark at the construction workers across the street, others dogs being walked by the yard and even deer and antelope which he loves to chase. We had a hard time imagining it work this well. The guy across the street says he wondered why he didn't come visit him any more. We are now removing flags and alternating letting him out with the collar on and off. I expect within the next couple of weeks we can retire the collar. I can only report my experience which has been great for an excitable small dog who loves to run after anything that moves.

Great product to keep the pets in rather than jumping the fence to get into trouble and protect your best friends. Great product and have dealt with pet safe in the past and good folks to deal with if you have troubles with their product.

I had read in a previous review that the "cat" version of this fence has less boundary range. The reviewer indicated they bought the this version also given this fact. I too did the same. I already have a wooden 6ft rail fence around my home, thus I stapled the wire around the inside fence with Christmas lights staples from Home Depot. Indeed it took three hours to place around only the back yard portion of my home, it's good to have two people doing the install as the wire can get tangled easy. Digging into the ground to place the wire could take additional time, fyi.

My cat is a Manx breed, very intelligent, great disposition and highly social. He loved to go for walk-abouts amongst the neighborhood but when it was relayed to me by a patient neighbor he had entered their home through their open cat door it was time to shorten up his roaming range.

I trained my cat for two days with no corrective collar, flags and treats.

I followed the training instruction guide to the "T". I also viewed the training suggestions on youtube.

Day three I let my cat go out with the collar as I watched on.

By day 4 he understood and by day 5 it was a done deal.

This particular model has no settings on the intensity for the correction. However, based on observing my cat, it seemed enough of a discomfort to correct but not a severe enough one to frighten. My cat did display his displeasure with the shorten range by pooping outside his litter box (right next to it) and as of late he's getting over it. Still as another viewer suggested I am watching for depression like behavior. My cat also comes in far more often then he does stay out in the back now ... with no more adventures to be had on his long wonderings, I think he gets bored.

This was a good investment for my cat and my peace of mind and while my cat is not a huge fan, at least he won't be going into other folks homes and being social.

Thanks for reading and hope this helps.

Penn Plax Spongebob Vinyl and Rope On Mesh Display Dog Chew Toy

Penn Plax Spongebob Vinyl and Rope On Mesh Display Dog Chew ToyAs the title described, it was nice and fun while it lasted. My dog is only about 20lbs. but he's an extreme chewer. He finds a way to destroy anything no matter how tough it is. This lasted all of a few days before the hands, feet and tip of the head were gone. I eventually had to cut the latex part away and throw it out just leaving the rope. It kind of doesn't seem worth it, but then again neither do any of the toys I buy my dog. Nothing seems to last for him.

The dog loved flinging this Spongebob toy around by the foot and playing tug of war with the arms! Easy to spot on the floor or in the yard!

My 15 pound Yorkie loves to play with this. He's a big chewer, and the rubber is still together, not like many of his toys I've bought at some of the big chain stores. Will definitely recommend.

Dean and Tyler Noburu Multifunctional Rolled Leash, Black 7-Feet by 1/2-Inch Diameter With Handle An

Dean and Tyler Noburu Multifunctional Rolled Leash, Black 7-Feet by 1/2-Inch Diameter With Handle And Solid Brass Snap Hooks.This leash is gorgeous. Soft leather, adaptable for many uses, clearly very well made and would probably last for ages.Unfortunately I can't use it. My hands are small and it is just to awkward for me. I was so bummed. It truly is for large dogs and people with large hands. I did talk with the customer service and am getting a different lead although will be flat where this one is so elegantly round. I hope it will be as well made.

There were only 2 reviews when I found this product on Amazon and they were both positive. Seeing as how the Hurtta leather leashes have been discontinued, I decided to take the plunge. Delivery time was acceptable. What I have a problem with is the product itself. The leash was sticky to the touch and the hardware had smudges on it. On top of that the smell is horrendous! I'm sure I'm not going to be walking my dog much with the leash seeing as how I would spend most of our walk puking on the street from being nauseated by the smell!

I called Dean and Tyler's customer service and some sketchy sounding guy took my number and never called me back. I called again and someone claiming to be their receptionist (on a Saturday) sounded like a full report was taken regarding this product.

Overall I am very disappointed with this product. Buyer Beware!!

I love this leash. When it first arrived I was surprised at how thick it was. I was expecting it to be a traditional (smaller) diameter. I was going to send it back. My husband talked me into keeping it and I am so glad he did. It now feels quite comfortable in my hand and I enjoy all of the different ways that I can use it. When I go out for a quick walk, I use it as a collar and lead by snapping on to the floating ring (and using it as a choke collar). I like the hands free option and I am so happy to be able to tie my dog up quickly, easily and securely. I have used every different length option already. This is my all time favorite leash and I have had dogs for 35 years. Thanks for such a beautiful, useful well made product!

OnKey Shake Trainer Dog Training System

OnKey Shake Trainer Dog Training SystemI tried this product to stop nuisance barking at the door when doorbell rings. If you follow the training tips that they provide before you use it, you cannot fail. You do need to periodically enforce it and go back to the initial steps to ensure the dogs continue to be affected by it. It does seem to work well with multiple dogs as long as you train each one individually before using it. I recommend it highly!

Over the last several years it seems like I have become somewhat of an amateur dog-trainer. I work with 6-7 doggies on a regular basis. I am a big proponent of clicker training and use it almost exclusively. The only problem that I have with it is that, although it is great for reinforcing positive behavior, it's not always successful--at least for me--when trying to curtail negative behavior. The shake trainer operates on a similar principle as clicker-training so I thought that I would give it a shot.

The conditioning portion of this training program is extremely simple. However, that is where I ran into some problems. The first two dogs (a Yorkie and a Miniature Blue Heeler) took to it right away but my friend's smooth-coat Dachshund was very frightened by the shaker and I could not continue working with her. Whenever I pick it up now she runs away and hides.

The next dog that I tried to work with was a large, kind of wild behaving, pit bull mix named Bowzer. I have worked with him using clicker trainer just a little and I thought that he would be a good prospect for the Shaker. When I first shook it he tore out and hid behind some bushes. Although he has known me for quite a while he suddenly became afraid of me and it took a while for him to get over it. However, his "sister" is a yellow Lab mix and it worked perfectly on her.

Beyond the initial conditioning I have found to Shaker system to be very effective when combined with consistent and firm vocal commands. I use it mostly for stopping the dogs from barking at strangers and other passersby and it has been very effective. I will continue using it and I will recommend it to others.

I received the Shake Trainer on a Friday and by Sunday my Chahuahua had stopped barking, really. She didn't bark a lot like some Chihuahua's, she did not bark at the doorbell or noises outside but she would sit at the patio door and bark at birds, squirrels, wind socks, pretty much anything that moved out there. But not anymore. She will run to the patio door like always but she does not bark she just sits and watches. I would recommend this to anyone. I still can't believe it but it's true. I have not heard Chica bark for days, really amazing.

We purchased this to stop a tightly wound Australian Shepherd from barking; she barks whenever anyone walks by the house, comes to the house, stays at the house,goes in the pool, leaves the house...you name it, she barks. And, in many instances, her barking can last for hours. Luckily, I only wasted $15 on this item since I purchased it thru Saveology. We watched the DVD and followed the instructions to a T.

The first time I shook the device per instructions, she ran off. Wow, we thought, maybe something will work. Within about 10 minutes,she started barking again. I picked up the device, and she ran off and stopped barking. We were in shock! But, a few minutes later, she started to bark again, I picked up the device, she kept barking. Shook it, kept barking. And, that was about the end of it. Never again did it work.

I am not sure if anyone mentions it in the reviews but this product does not emit a painful, high pitched sound like you may think instead, it is a ridiculously loud metal container that seems to be full of rocks. It is not only annoying as can be to humans, it's probably just a stupid annoyance to my dog, too.

Want OnKey Shake Trainer Dog Training System Discount?

We have three dogs, two of them puppies. Getting them to listen, and stop barking was impossible. The constant noise was driving us nuts.

I received this at work today, a mere 4 hours later...peace and quiet.

My husband and I watched the DVD, followed the initial "set up" training instructions separately for each dog, and then used the shake trainer only when needed. I have never, ever seen anything work so quickly. We've tried bark collars, treat and clicker training, yelling, spray bottles, time outs, literally everything you can think of, and none of it has worked. I initially had my doubts that this would work, because we tried coins in a can before and it did nothing. I don't know why this is different, but i works.

At this point, all I have to do is show them the shake trainer and the barking and other bad behavior stops immediately.

If you're frustrated and have tried everything, I highly recommend this. It's like dream!

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Large, Fawn

Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar: Large, FawnI am a dog trainer and I walk 2 80lb dogs at the same time. The gentle leader allows me to walk both dogs with one hand on long leads so they can sniff and smell and enjoy their walk. When needed I can control them to sit by my side. I recommended this product for anyone that has a problem with an excitable dog or one thats pulls on the leash. When ordered I had my product within 3 days of purchase mailed directly to my door.
