SportDOG Add-A-Dog® Collar Receiver, SDF-R

SportDOG Add-A-DogĀ® Collar Receiver, SDF-RWe purchased this system due to the fact that we have 5 acres of open land and lots of neighboring cows for our dogs to chase. With my 2 older dogs, who have always been able to run loose, we took about two weeks of training them as instructed. They had no problem in learning. We then brought a young dog to our home who had always been enclosed in a yard with chain link fencing. Trained one very briefly, on lowest setting it ran thru boundary fencing, turned up the power, and along with the flags, the dog never ventures near boundary. Two very young strays, with whom we could not train due to the fact that they would not do the leash....put the collars on them, they accidentally went into boundary, with our visual supervision over a period of about a week, and they did not attempt doing that again. We then had to put boundary fencing around the area of where we park our cars, due to the destructive natures of the younger dogs who scratched several cars chasing a cat, they do not enter the boundary zone....in fact, when flags went up, they totally understood their meaning!!! excellent product that works with any age or stubborness of dogs. i highly recommend this product. Also, works just as well after water exposure, as our dogs love the pond, water does not affect the products effectiveness. i give this system 5 stars.

We already have the sport dog in ground fence system and love it! We got this collar for our little dog who is less than 20lbs. It is big on him but can be cut down to size. It fits our Husky perfectly. The little dog was able to get used to it quickly. I had contemplated the smaller versions but with proprietary batteries, it seemed like a poor idea. These collars take a standard 9v and the batteries have lasted nearly a year so far in our other collar without replacement. It is a good system, but not for dogs under 20lbs for sure even though they say as long as their over 10lbs.

I love the invisible fence system these people sell, it was easy to instal and maintain. My only gripe would be on the collars themselves. The screws absolutely suck. Maybe it is just my dogs or even me, but the screws get dirt/sand/debris lodged into the head of the screw and just underneath enough to make turning the screw a pain in the rear. When I need to change the battery, I try to clean the screws out to the best of my ability so I can get a screwdriver in. This is a pain and it seems like there should be a better way. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me know.

I have the full setup from Sport Dog, the underground fence sending unit and four collars. If you click on my name you can read my review on the whole setup. These Collars are by far the best on the market. They are adjustable as far as the correction goes which allows you to turn the shock up or down or to vibrate only. The material the collar is made from is bright orange, somewhat reflective, and very durable material. The collar uses a regular 9 volt battery which last a long time, at least a year. Many of the other collars from other companies use large watch batteries which only last a few months. My collars have had plenty of abuse and water time. They are still working just as they did when they were new.

If you have a large dog and are looking for an underground fence collar, this is by far the best one available.

Awesome collar and in-ground fence system! We bought a second collar when we got our second dog and the receiver works great! We have two big golden retrievers (86 and 90 lbs) who like to run, play and visit with everyone so it was essential that we keep them contained. The collar has adjustable shock/warn strengths. We had to amp it up when the flags disappeared during the snowy weather but we can turn it down now that they've learned not to go past the boundary. One REALLY nice thing is that the battery is a regular one that you can buy anywhere and is much less expensive than some of the little disc batteries required for products like this.

Two reasons to not give it a five star rating: (1) For the amount of money you spend on just one collar, it would have been nice to have the receiver be a little bit smaller. It's just kind of bulky but I would think more so on smaller dogs. (but then the battery would have to be smaller and probably more expensive) (2) We have had the fence system for a few years now and the collar that comes with the receiver cracks and needs to be replaced about once a year. Perhaps not though with more docile dogs but ours play with each other every day and sometimes they get a little rough.

Guardian Gear Choke Chain with Nylon Web - Bluebird

Guardian Gear 24-Inch Steel Dog Choke Chain with Nylon Webbing, BluebirdChoke chain arrived as expected. Was very attractive when first obtained from mailing package. Looking forward to using on pet. Will update review after actually having used item.

Update-Left chain on pet around the clock(was snug enough fit that I wasn't worried about the chain getting caught on something and choking pet). Noticed that web material starting to fray. Will only use for special occasions and excursions away from home.

Still satisfied with chain overall.

13# Mini-Wiener dog broke his collar after 5 months. Chain broke. Hoping they will stand behind it...It is a VERY nice collar and looks great, but not impressed by it just popping.

PetSafe Cinch-It Collar

PetSafe Cinch-It Collar, Large, Ice BlueThis collar makes fitting an E-Collar on your dog so easy. I'm using a Dogtra collar and this collar fits it and holds any adjustments.

I got this collar because it was so easy to put on and adjust. I liked that it was a nice feeling rubbery plastic and came in fun colors. This collar is not exactly "Pet Safe" and not the collar for your dog if he pulls at all. We had the collar 3 months when our pup saw a flock of geese and chased towards them and SNAP! the collar broke and our dog was gone. Happily she came when I called her back, but I know it was a lucky day. Back to the leather buckle collar for us!

The collars themselves are very nice so I'm going to give them a good rating, but --WARNING--if you are planning to use with the Dogtra e-collar, you might want to think again. I had an extremely difficult -I would say verging on impossible--time getting the Dogtra unit onto the collar. By the time it was on--pulling with pliers,etc,--the collar was pretty messed up, although still usable. The bigger problem came when I had to return the Dogtra units for repair/replacement.* GETTING THEM OFF THE COLLARS WAS A NIGHTMARE! My husband had to cut and poke and I don't know what else. Suffice it to say, I no longer have the collars because they had to be cut to bits. The collars are just too tight for the Dogtra. Again, nothing against the collar itself--I don't think they are ones promoting use with the Dogtra, although I'm not sure about that.

As I recall the collars--for the brief time I had them, the colors are bright and great and the way they lock on and off makes them a breeze to use. I like the fact that the excess length of the collar goes underneath, as opposed to flapping around on the outside like most collars. That gives them a nice, clean look. They seem to be very well made. Trust me--through all the pulling and cutting we ended up doing as a result of the Dogtra unit fitting too tightly, these collars are TOUGH!

*Also not a critique of Dogtra e-collars; I bought 2 and I think there was some confusion--perhaps on my part. The Dogtra company was very accommodating and easy to work with. Problem solved and I am pleased with the product.

My wife and I have two dogtra 280 NCP Platinum units. I have to admit, it was A LOT of work getting the cinch-it collars through the receiver units. Once you got them on though, it was awesome! The cinch-it collars are so easy to take on and off.

We've had our same cinch-it collar/receiver units for almost three years and they are still working out great. We've never had problem with them loosening up on their own. We haven't had to change batteries in the receiver units yet, I do know that I would have to destroy the cinch-it collars in order to change batteries. For the years of convenience we have enjoyed though, it would be well worth it.

If I were to do it again, I think I would use my hand plane to shave down the cinch-it collar a bit before pulling it through the receiver unit.

One of our dog club members has a Tritronic e-collar and he was able to fit the cinch-it through his receiver unit fairly easily (he used soap but he said it wasn't that difficult to do so).

We've never tried using them as a regular collar though. My dogs always have leather flat collars on for us to attach leashes to.

Mvet Ssscat Spray

Mvet Ssscat SprayI have 8 of these devices and they work great. Now, when i need refills the idiots discontinue the product. Don't waste your time and money. They are not available anymore.

My cat puked sardines all over my daughter's $3,000 dollar Yamaha keyboard. In and under many keys, control knobs, LED window, etc. And the stink...ugh. "SSSCAT Spray for Cats" has cured all worries that will ever happen again. Sure, kitty will listen nicely when you are in the room with her, but when you are gone, she pretty much will do what she wants. This item will, without a doubt, keep kitty off of or away from areas that she must not go on, whether for her safety or because she can damage something valuable. It emits a startling screech and a loud hissing spray of vapor when the cat crosses the magic eye. You can tailor it to your preferences as to whether you want just sound or sound with spray. Training is effective practically immediately. Do not use this in the vicinity of the litter box as I would imagine the cat would be too paranoid to enter the region and that could cause toiletting issues and accidents in other rooms. The cat will truly stay away from this thing. I'm back to buy another can for my new pastry butcher block. This seller has the best price I can find. Warning: the noise will wake you up at night if triggered, it is loud enough to travel several rooms. However, since kitty will catch on virutally immediately, and since much of the training will happen while you are out-they only disobey when you aren't looking ;-), after all. You can be assured you will not be bothered very much or for very long. Do not use in a nursery as I would imagine this would startle a baby or scare toddlers unless you are training while the child is out of the room or house.

ANTI BARK STOP BARKING ELECTRIC SHOCK DOG TRAINING COLLAR

ANTI BARK STOP BARKING ELECTRIC SHOCK DOG TRAINING COLLARI bought this collar for my 3 year old hound mix that has a barking issue. I've used regular shock collars on him when he was younger, and he knows the sound of the beep means he's in trouble. The biggest issue with this collar is that it is very inaccurate. The first day I put it on my dog it probably went off 5 times without him barking once. If he scratches his neck, or rubs against anything, it seems to go off. I feel bad because he hasn't done anything wrong, so I finally just gave up and took it off. For it to be an effective form of training, it really should be more accurate. Also I don't know what country the instruction manual was written in, but it might be the worst grammar I've ever seen. It is very hard to understand and really doesn't tell you how to operate the collar well. If it were expensive I would just return it, but for about $10 its really not worth the hassle.

It worked by shocking my dog and having a loud noise as well. The downfall for this item was that it worked when it wanted to. My dog would bark and nothing. I also felt as if I had to almost choke my dog just make it work when it wanted to. Another down side is that the battery used is not sold in normal stores and the batter life lasted two days. So it has sat on the shelf since the first two days of recieving it.

Buy ANTI BARK STOP BARKING ELECTRIC SHOCK DOG TRAINING COLLAR Now

uses up the battery often. doesn't work on low barks, growls or whines...only works with loud barks. (our dog's main issue is whinning, he whines for everything) the collar must be so tight for it to have skin contact to work (almost choking the dog) (sometimes I wonder if he's not barking because he can't breath!) I don't think it would be easy to make skin contact on a dog that has a lot of hair. the price is great, so if you have a minor barking issue and a smart dog you could probably get away with using this product and not have to go thru too many batteries before the dog associates the collar with the barking...we have a border collie and he's pretty smart...it's to the point now that we can put the collar on (not as tight, but snug) and regardless of the batteries status, he is pretty quiet when he's wearing it. We use a similar one for 'whinning' with a remote control, so he 'thinks' the collar equals quiet, lay down, do nothing...which means we have to take it off a lot of the time or he will go nuts with bottled up energy!

I chose this product because the price was good and really needed it. I have two dogs, one seemed to take to it a lot quicker than the other. I lived a town home so I could not have dogs that constantly barked. I have smaller dogs that are usually known for barking. However, now when they do not wear the collar they will bark only once when someone comes to the door instead of constantly barking. It was hard to find the right size collar and I didn't like that it wasn't waterproof. I didn't think I would need it to be water proof until one day the dogs were outside and it started to rain. I was worried that the collar would malfunction if it got wet and the dogs might get shocked or hurt by malfunction. Luckily that didn't happen. If I were going to have my dogs wear this 24/7 or outside for long periods of time, I would not choose this collar just because of unpredictable weather.

Dean and Tyler DT Dog Harness, Black With Yellow Trim, X-Large - Fits Girth Size: 34-Inch to 47-Inch

Dean and Tyler DT Dog Harness, Black With Yellow Trim, X-Large - Fits Girth Size: 34-Inch to 47-InchOutstanding product. I had trouble controlling my 140 pound Irish Wolfhound Puppy with the standard choke chain and lease. This halter was like magic! It catches his center of balance perfectly and is incredibly well behaved over night. I intend to order 2 more for my son's Great Danes.

A. Wood

We bought this harness for our large (120 pounds) Bullmastiff. He loves it! He loves putting it on, (probably because he knows a walk will follow,) and he has stopped pulling when we walk. This is a wonderful product. It is sturdy and very easy to get on and off.

I have used harnesses on my dogs for many years. The Dean & Tyler All Weather Dog Harness is the best harness I have ever found. The construction and materials are excellent. I have never found a harness of this caliber at any of the brick and mortar pet stores. I particularly like the small handle at the back of the harness for extra control if needed. Highly recommended!

I bought this harness after reading the awesome reviews from other dog owners who had 100+ lb dogs with the intention of using it for both walking and running. The first day after our first short jog I noticed a line of matted fur where the bottom strap goes across his belly. I figured maybe being a new strap it just irrated the area a little so we used his regular neck leash for walks the rest of the day. The next day after our jog when I took off the harness and hung it up I noticed him licking the bottom strap. After taking a closer look at it I realized it was blood. Obviously I immediately examined his belly and found that the strap had rubbed his skin so raw that his was bleeding all the way across his belly in the exact size and shape where the bottom strap was.

I've never had any problem like this with any other harness. My dog is completely normal with no sensitivity issues and the harness was definitely put on correctly and not too tight. I'm not a marathon runner or anything and these were both short 2-3 mile slow jogs so it's not like I ran so long that it was bound to happen.

This is going to be my first item ever returning with Amazon so I don't know how easy that process will be but I recommend saving yourself the time and pain your dog could possibly go through and maybe explore other harness options.

I bought this harness for my 2.5 year old Newfoundland who is about 165 lbs. We both absolutely love this harness. It is built very well: strong and sturdy. It also looks very sharp on him.

It is not a harness meant to reduce pulling while walking, but I use it for when he is on a long lead outside. Having a D ring on the top of the harness has seemed to help in keeping him from tangling the rope up in his legs. I will definitely be buying another if this one ever gives out.

It seems to be very comfortable for him and I have not noticed any rubbing or chaffing on him from wearing it. It also has more room for a larger dog of needed, which would be very few breeds.

Great product!

Zuke's Z-Bones Natural Edible Clean Carrot Crunch Regular Dog Dental Chews, Pack of 8

Zuke's Z-Bones Natural Edible Clean Carrot Crunch Regular Dog Dental Chews, Pack of 8The Z-Bones Dental Chews are great! I was looking for a dental chew that both of my dogs would like, in addition to being a healthy and effective chew. I have a Sheltie and a Chihuahua (they make a funny couple), and while they are not super chewers like Labs, they do like to chew (including the Chihuahua surprisingly!). Well, both dogs loved these chews. They liked the smell and couldn't wait for me to open the re-sealable plastic bag, which was inside the box, keeping them fresh. Both dogs got right down to chewing the bones and the Sheltie finished his in one sitting, while the Chihuahua almost did! Even the piece of the Z-Bone that was left (about a 1/3) was finished by the Chihuahua in a couple of days. It was also nice that the Z-Bone lasted quite a while for both dogs, rather than disappearing in just a few minutes. I just thought I would share my experience with other dog owners, since I have appreciated the feedback provided by others on different products, which has resulted in great purchases, helping me to avoid poor choices and saving me money. Thanks!

I purchase the Zuke's Z-Bones for my dog Cody and he loves them. The reason I get these particular bones is because Cody has Lymphoma and is on what is called a 'cancer diet', which one of the main problems in finding a treat that is compatible for this diet is finding one that is grain free and thankfully Zuke's supplies a no grain treat for my pet that also helps his teeth, wonderful product, and most of all he LOVES them. He gets one per night and come close to ten every night he sits in front of the shelf they sit on until he gets his Zukes!

Today was the first day we gave our 5 month old puppy one of these. She LOVED it! It was like giving a baby a bottle, she just laid with it for a 1hr/20mins (yes we time treats here for longevity, Maggie is a heavy chewer haha) and was in heaven. Would definitely recommend. A lot of her 'big' treats dont last more then 5/10 mins, so I was not expecting anything much longer, these were a great surprise. I know she's a little young for them per packaging rules but I took the chance because she tries to eat crazier non-edible objects then these. My only gripe is the price is a little high per bone BUT they are made from great ingredients and last awhile. I have tried many Zuke's products over the years and have always been very happy. I will keep ordering them for sure.

:::::UPDATE::::: Okay, shes figured them out and only last about 15 mins but they are still great!

These small chewy treats have a magical power with my Shepherd, whose regular food is also salmon. Even though they're pretty small, it only takes one to convince him he absolutely wants to do whatever I'm asking him to do more persuasively than any other treat I've tried. At this point all I have to do is crinkle the bag a bit to convince him to pay attention. They have a strong salmon smell, but not too unpleasant.

Precision Pet Products Black ProValu2 Dog Crate 6000, 48-Inch-by-30-Inch-by-32-Inch, 1-Door

Precision Pet Products Black ProValu2 Dog Crate 6000, 48-Inch-by-30-Inch-by-32-Inch, 1-DoorWe bought this kennel to hold our Great Dane mix due to his semi-destructive nature when we leave the house. We kennel him when we leave, and give him a treat and toys to keep him entertained. This particular kennel worked for a few months before we ran into serious problems.

The kennel is made of a metal mesh, which is lightly welded together. The base is a hard plastic, so we added a dog bed to keep him comfortable. Everything seemed nice initially, but a few months after we purchased this we came home to find our dog loose, and a rug torn up. We looked at the kennel, and he had snapped one of the door locking bolts, and squeezed through the door. Looking close, the crate had already become rusty (I assume from moisture in the air?) and had weakened. At the time, we thought maybe it was just the one handle, so we put a temporary fix on and tried again. Within a week, the entire front wall had been torn off at the weld points, and dangerous spikes were exposed that scraped the dog up as he exited that last time. At this point the entire crate was disposed of in order to protect our dog, and a replacement purchased.

This crate was completely destroyed after only a few months, and posed a significant risk to our dog. I'll admit he's a very active dog, but as soon as he figured out there were weaknesses in this crate, he took advantage of them, and found a way out. For the money spent, it was a complete waste.

We replaced this with a Petmate Vari Kennel Ultra Fashion, XLarge, Bleached Linen/Coffee Grounds, and have had it for a few years now with no signs of serious wear and tear. I would highly recommend the Vari Kennel over the Precision Pet, for a number of reasons, and I wish we had gone with it initially. The only reason I gave this 2 stars at all is because it did, for a while, hold the dog. Other than that I would never purchase this product nor recommend it to anyone.

SUNSET BLACK/GOLD - MT. ROPE COLLAR - 16 INCH

SUNSET BLACK/GOLD - MT. ROPE COLLAR - 16 INCHI got a mountain rope collar for one of my dogs over 12 years ago, and the old boy is still wearing it, so when I was shopping for a choker type collar for my new dog, I looked for that type again. When I found these collars on Amazon, I thought I'd found exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, when I got the new collar and tried it out, there's a huge design flaw that makes it useless as a choker: those nice, beefy aluminum sleeves they use on the ends catch the ring that's supposed to slide freely, making it impossible to give a quick little correction with the collar. Short of yanking the dog's head halfway off, the ring stays trapped below the sleeve. It just won't work as it's supposed to.

I'm giving the collar 3 stars because it really is good, sturdy material, but the poor design just kills it's usability.

Value Puppy Pad

Clean Go Pet Polymer Value Puppy Pads, 30-PackI was using Wee Wee Pads for a while but was tired of paying $40+ a box. I gave these Clean Go Pads a shot and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of them.

I paid about half what I was paying and got the same quality pads as the Four Paws Wee Wee Pads. I've re-ordered these pads 3 times now and they are awesome.

Never had any leaks or spills with these.

I do not like these value Puppy Pads as well as the regular white ones. They do not work as well. I recommend getting the Clean Go Pet Polymer Puppy Pad, 100-Pack, they are white and lay flatter. They also absorb more liquid.and stay put better than these.

After checking the other box I have, I noticed the ones I got this time are Not "Super Absorbent" and I didn't realize there was a difference when I ordered them. I just went by the name. Now I'll have to buy the "super" ones. The Value pak puppy pads by Clean Go are just not good so I'll use them "UNDER" the Super Absorbent pads. You get what you pay for!!!

PetSafe 6-Volt Alkaline Battery

PetSafe 6-Volt Alkaline BatteryUnless you are diligent about taking the battery out after every use, the lifespan of a battery is measured in days. I don't know if this says more about the Citronella Bark Collar or the battery itself, but if you use the collar a lot, buy the batteries in bulk!

We bought a pet safe training collar that does not have a shock feature..only sound or vibrate features. This was a good choice for our small dog prone to seizures. And, it is unbelievable about brief the battery holds a charge. Pet Safe reps were totally difficult with discussing this issue and there is no information to warn about this apparent shortcoming. The earlier comment is exactly right....days of charge...not the 1-3 months told to us by the distributor. The first battery that came with the unit only lasted through one outing when we walk our dog off leash and use the vibrate feature when he's about to go on prey drive. The second battery, also, only lasted through one outing and the beginning of a second outing...or for a total of about twenty button pushings. Training was effective; the only positive in this rip off. Pet safe wants us to pay 18dollars and send the collar back...but more than likely this would be waste of 25 dollars. A replaced collar is not going to make a difference. As for ordering more batteries from petsafe...i don't think so. Either get them cheaper someplace else or look for a lithium battery AND take the battery out when not in use. If anyone can indicate if this makes a big difference, please post. Pet safe would not offer such information.

We bought a pet safe training collar that does not have a shock feature..only sound or vibrate features. This was a good choice for our small dog prone to seizures.

Buy PetSafe 6-Volt Alkaline Battery Now

I go through a lot of these batteries in bark collars as I have two very naughty dogs. I am most pleased with the price as it would really add up if purchased through conventional retail sources.
