Tri-Tronics Sport Junior G3

Tri-Tronics Sport Junior G3This system is by far superior to other remote training systems available. I have tried several others, and this one has consistently out-performed all the others.

With six levels of stimulation, you are sure to find the setting that works best for your dog. Now, training your dog to sit, heal, stay is a no-brainer. Use the higher levels of stimulation to correct bad behavior such as running off, nuisance barking, mouthing, jumping, digging, or whatever the issue may be.

The construction is durable, waterproof, and has a range of 1/4 mile -much higher than comparable products on the market.

I highly recommend this product.

this collar pretty much saved my marriage and kept my young lab from being put up for adoption the range and power level adjustment are great if you can see the dog she is in range

Pleased with the results of this product. The only draw back is that it can not be turned on or off from the sending unit. The collar must be turned off/on manually which cues the dog. If I were to purchase another, the remote feature would be included.

Wee-Wee Pads for Adult Dogs

Wee-Wee Pads for Adult Dogs, 40-PackI have tried a wide variety of pads from premium priced to cheapies. I have two dogs a small cocker and an 85 lb basset hound mix -really big guy with a large holding tank. They are crossed trained to go out when possible -but in middle of night or if I am away all day -they know its good to go on the pads.

This is simply the most absorbent I have found. Others were OK for the cocker. But the big guy has so much in him when he pees -and these absorb it all and stay awfully dry underneath.

Shop around as well -even these pads have a wide variance in price. I always buy the 75 pack size which is hard to find -but search -you will find it.

Great pad, excellent overall value. Especially at the lower end of the pricing spectrum I usually pay $116 delivered for 300 pads)(which lasts a long time)

I have a 15 lb pug and she uses the pad 2-3 times a day (winter). Although this fits my schedule, comparing it to the Petco brand pads, it's much thinner in the absorbtion department. As soon as the liquid lands, it spreads out and that takes up about 1/3 of the pad. Since my dog will not pee on the same spot again, the pad has about a 3 time useage. The Petco brand is more thicker and the liquid will not spread out so far therefore you have a 4-5 time usage. Once you break down the amount of pads you use a day vs the cost, the Petco brand comes out cheaper in the long run. That's why this only gets a 3 star from me.

I have ordered from them 3-4 times this year since I got a puppy in May, and now my order from August my latest box is a rip off. It's still "four paws" but it's not the same kind of pad. The pads they used to send were the good kind that look and felt softer and actually worked. The new kind is thin and more coarse and does not absorb much at all. HUGE difference. It is much cheaper quality.

This is a very sneaky move. They know that I won't bother sending it back because it's not worth it to ship it and get what becomes a partial refund. I end up losing money. So you win, you can keep my money. But you won't be getting any more. If you had sent me the kind that I had always gotten from you, you would have had my business indefinitely. Now you ruined it. Enjoy this bad review.

Oh yea, if you decide to do the right thing and send me the real product I wanted for free, I will take this down. I'm not sure if Amazon allows you to delete a comment, but I will at the very least amend this one. But for now, everyone, DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT, as of September 2010, they are selling the CHEAP VERSION.

After comparison shopping wanting to get the best price without buying pads that didn't hold up to the moisture, I decided to go with these. Great price for a good product!

I have been ordering these pads from Petsolution through Amazon since September 07 and re-order monthly. I use this product for my incontinent mother to save her mattress from accidents. I also place one pad on her wheel chair and on her electric lift reclining chair. It is so much easier to throw away a pad than it is to try washing the chairs or mattress. It also extends the useful life of the chairs and mattress. By placing pads on top of the mattress, then putting on the bed sheet and laying another pad on top of the sheet can also eliminate the need to wash the bed linen daily. This saves energy as well. Hope this helps someone. It made a difference for me.

OllyDog Mt Tam Hands-Free Dog Leash and Running Belt System

OllyDog Mt Tam Hands-Free Dog Leash and Running Belt SystemHow did I survive before without this leash? Hands-free leash lets you get your dog and retrieve the groceries, shopping bags, etc all at the same time. I use it to go get my mail, get things in/out of my car, shopping, and just about everywhere else in between. I no longer have to worry about juggling things.. It's one less thing to worry about! We even use it while skateboardingthe bungee cord is a wonderful safety feature. The latch also merits mention bc you dont have to pull down the clasp to open it like most traditional latches. It's a single motion latch-on. So smooth.

Also, the handle with reflective band is great for city sidewalk walking, where you need a short/tight handle on your dog.

The only thing I would change is making the leash length adjustable and the adjustable waist even smaller (I am using it without the fanny pack. Although its good for keeping poop bags and tissues, it adds length to the leash and I just don't need it). I'm average weight and the waist hits lower on my waist than I would like. But overall, I've found this leash to be worth every penny.

First of all, I hardly ever write reviews, so that should show you right away how much I like this leash. Second of all, I didn't even buy it from amazon, but the website I ordered from doesn't have a comment or review submission box, so I decided to say something about it here...because I like it so much :)

I was impressed with this leash right awayright out of the package, it felt much more durable than I expected it to be. I was wary of the nylon loops the leash is supposed to attach to, thinking they might be too flimsy to accommodate the tugging of my 50 lb. dog on our jogs, but they actually seem to be incredibly sturdy. The fanny pack is an added bonus! I usually stick my keys and my phone in my bra when I jog, but it's SO uncomfortable and I've had stuff fall out on more than one occasion. It's surprisingly handy having your stuff zippered and secure. The quick-release feature of the leash is also pretty cool because you can keep the belt (and your personal belongings stashed in the fanny pack) on your body. I haven't needed to do this yet, but I can see how it would be useful for getting in and out of the car with your dog.

The bungee leash is awesome. My dog can speed up or slow down as she pleases without getting whiplash or jerking me around. The elastic waistband complements the gentle give of the leash, so all of our walks and jogs go very smoothly now. I feel very little (if any) resistance, and no sudden jerks whatsoever.

I honestly don't think the leash is too long at all, but my neighborhood has very little traffic so I very rarely have to grab the safety loop to keep my dog out of harm's way. I can, however, see how the elasticity and length of the leash could lead to some safety issues...if you needed to grab your dog quickly, the leash will stretch at LEAST another 10" or 12" before you'd have enough tension to pull him to your side. Obviously, exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings; I really think you'll enjoy this product as much as I do. Money well spent!

I have used this for 10 walks so far, each walk is just under 3 miles. My dog is 27 lbs., male, and likes to pee on every corner as we walk. Not that he needs to pee, just likes to "pee-mail" all his buddies.... this is not good for a brisk work out/walk and I just could not break him of this habit. I was using the extendable leashes for the last 4 years but my arm was getting more and more sore from the jerking it took each time he would stop too long to pee. I ignored it the best I could until one day last month I went to pick up something and got a terrible jolt of pain from my ear all the way down my arm.... the same areas that are strained during the walks. That was it, time to find a different solution. I am SO HAPPY WITH THIS LEASH it is hard to say enough. This is basically a very nice fanny pack with elasticized straps that adjust to fit your shape. The pack hold my house keys, dog poop bags, id, and iPhone with room enough for some money, too. There is a little hole you can put ear buds or the dog poop bags through so you can just pull them out or not hold your iPhone if you want to listen to music while walking. Also, when you adjust the waist straps be sure to fold them tightly and then use the attached band to hold them to the desired spot. One time I did not fold them tightly enough and the first good pull my dog made it came loose but once I did it correctly that problem was solved immediately. The leash detaches from the waist and you can hook it to either side, which is very handy. Also, and this is the best part for my situation, the leash itself also has a bungee type elastic built into the leash and this alleviates the pull when my dog tries to sneak a quick pee....also, my dog learned (from the very first walk) that this leash is prohibitive to his pee stops and he does not try to do it nearly as often now....

The best part of all is my arm is almost back to normal! Plus, I had forgotten just how wonderful it is to really get to swing my arms while I'm walking, which really improves my gait, posture and stamina. I love this leash and I highly recommend it. I am so glad I decided to buy it.... it is pricey but IMO it is worth it..... it seems really well made. If anything goes wrong with it I will be back to update my review.

Happy walking or running!

**update 10/9/12** have continued to use approx. 5 6 times a week since purchase in August. I only like it more and have zero complaints. Although, my dog stays either right behind me or just to my side on our walks. He rarely goes in front of me but I could see where that could be a little scary, as another reviewer stated here, as your dog could, conceivably, dart out and away from you. I do not work out by a road but if I did and my dog was the "prey driven" type I would definitely keep my hand on the leash which might defeat the purpose for you. Other than that, I still love and highly recommend. My dog has pulled on this so many times, and so hard, and the leash is holding up incredibly well. My shoulder appreciates not getting jerked out of the socket, too.

I have a couple of similar products. But this one is my new gold standard. The leash has a loop handle near the clasp that let's you quickly be able to control you dog and keep it close to you (with my others, you have to grab on to the stretchy piece, which works okay with my dog, but wouldn't be my choice with a larger or less well behaved dog). I like the ability to hook a second lead on the other side. The bag is small, but I prefer that. And it is well set up -a special spot for poop bags, and an opening so that you can pull one through without unzipping the bag; a clip for your keys; and room enough for plenty of treats if you keep them small. Materials are high quality, and I love the color. A bit on the spendy side, I think. But for me, worth it.

I love this product for the belt, which works great for storing treats, my phone, baggies and anything else I need for a training session. I recently started using the belt with the leash and the first trip out my rescue dog pulled apart the plastic clip and got free to chase a squirrel. A stronger clasp or different connection would be preferred, but I love the handle and bungee section on the leash and will find a way to alter the original to suit my needs. A well trained dog would probably not have this problem.

Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Vest for Dogs, Ice Blue

Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Vest for Dogs, Ice Blue, MediumThis product works well in dry climates where the evaporation cooling can really shine. So, if you live in Arizona or Nevada, this is a great product. But, beware if you live somewhere like South Florida. With that kind of humidity, the water doesn't evaporate fast enough to cool the dog. The sun just warms the coat and turns it into a sauna suit. So if you're in such a location, either keep the coat in the fridge until it's time to use it and take it off once the sun warms it, or look into a renewable phase change material vest instead.

This product is simply amazing!!! I am sooo happy with it! I run with my friends Vizsla in our local mountains and I am always overly cautious about heat stroke. This jacket completely put my mind at ease. Running in So Cal in the heat can be hard on people, but deadly for dogs. I read many reviews on other sites (all of which were 5 star ratings) so I decided to give it a shot. Getting it ready was super easy and after a good wringing out it didn't even get my car damp as we traveled to the trailhead. Well let me tell you, this dog can kick my butt running up the mountain regardless. Now however she can do it in 80 degree heat without hardly panting. Her coat felt cool to the touch (under the jacket) every time I checked her. After about and hour I did "reactivate" it with more h2o but that was a cinch. It is adjustable and fits her perfectly, no "wear" marks on her thin coat. I've read from other people that it washes really well. If you have a dog that you take out in the heat, you NEED this jacket! Best purchase I've made all year!...and I like to shop! =)

My 15 year old golden retriever is now wearing this vest for the 3rd summer in a row. When she was 12 she started overheating to the point of almost fainting. She would throw up and be ill the rest of the evening during our hot DC summers. I bought the swamp cooler vest from REI and it's literally saved her. Without it we'd be stuck inside all summer and not getting any exercise. I soak it really well before going to the dog park and she stays cool the entire 2 hours we're there. Once we're home I take it outside and throw it over the deck railing to dry. About once a week I throw it in the wash with other clothes. The coat looks and works like brand new after several summers of use.

I live in Southern Arizona, and this coat works well for hikes and walks. It stays cooler longer than other coats I have tried. The length is a bit short, so maybe order one size up for bigger dogs.

I purchased this for my English/French Bulldog/Staffie mix. She had difficulty walking in temperatures above 75 degrees. She would have to stop and "frog out" in the shade for 5-10 minutes during our walks and she had a very difficult time breathing which made me nervous. A 45 minute walk became a 1.5 hour long walk because of her need to stop and regulate her body temperature. I decided to give this cooling vest a chance, though I was quite skeptical since I always thought that dogs could only regulate their body temp via panting. I bought it in April and have used it several times since then, but refrained from writing a review until I could put it through the test. The final test came today when I took her to the park and let her run on her 50 foot lead. She ran...and ran...and RAN. I had to give her a little time out b/c I thought she might die in the 103 degree index. Granted, we were only out for about a half hour and we didn't run the entire time (I don't have a cooling vest for my own body), but her body under the vest was cool to the touch and, if I had let her, she would have kept running. I know she would not have been able to do so if she didn't have the vest on. I did re-wet the vest once during the run even though it was still wet. I didn't want to risk letting her body temperature rise since it was really hot and humid.

Long story short, this was worth the money. The ONLY complaint I have is that it is light in color and it does get dirty. But, since my dog's nickname is "Dirt Dog" due to her propensity for finding and rolling in dirt and/or feces, I have thrown in the towel on caring about her appearance. I can tell you that her face was full of joy as she ran full tilt through the vast field in her sky-blue cooling vest with her human panting and sweating 50 paces behind her. Totally worth the money...

Mesh Dog Lead

Casual Canine Mesh Dog Lead, PinkThis is a fine leash and a great deal for the price. We bought matching harnesses and they work perfectly together.

I have 2 of these leashes. They are comfy to hold and look cute with my dog's collar. Unfortunately, my dog trainer has requested that we always have a leash on him while we work on training (24/7). Chewie has managed to chew (pun intended) thru both of the leashes. I will order more because I really do like them!

PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty

PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty, 25.5' x 20' x 2'I have a chihuahua that has recently decided she no longer likes to use her puppy pads, but the rugs instead. After replacing the rugs in my house (not cheap), I had to look for another solution since I live in a very urban area (West Hollywood) and do not have a yard. After spending countless hours researching the different grass options, I decided to try this since it was very cheap compared to similar products. I even considered a local company that delivers fresh sod every 2 weeks, however, at a cost of $40+/mo and $100+ for the unit I decided to try a more economical option first. I will be the first to admit that I am surprised my dog has used this potty exclusively since I received it about a week ago, no further training was required and she seemed to gravitate to this naturally. For the price, I was very surprised with the quality, it seems pretty well made, as I was really expecting some cheap junk. I don't know if they sell replacement grass pads, but the unit is so inexpensive I'm planning on buying a new one if it starts to smell or deteriorate over time (for the price you cannot expect this to last forever!) Now to the negative, it is gross to clean. If you can get your dog to just use a puppy pad, it is sooo much easier to just toss it and replace it every day, but if your dog refuses I would recommend this. After a couple days of use it started to smell (what do you expect), so I had to dump out the tray in the toilet (gross), and rinse all of the components off in the shower. I rinsed everything off with dish soap, then clorox wipes, and put the grass outside in the sun to dry. If I stick my nose against the grass, it does not smell pretty. I am going to buy some ZeroOdor spray and use that after every cleaning (which will probably be every couple days). This isn't the most efficient solution (puppy pads are), and cleaning this thing will get very old soon, BUT it is either put up with the hassle, or replace my rugs every couple days and live in filth. Obviously, the latter is not an option for me, so I am very happy with my purchase :-)

The Good: Works great! I live in a condo and have the pet park out on the patio. It's only been a few days and my english bulldog puppy already knows to go there on his own. Easy enough to clean.

The Not as Good: The basin below the grassy patch is very shallow, so I'm sure once my dog grows up I'll have to upgrade; for now though, it easily accommodates a day's worth of elimination. Also, because the grass patch just rests on the plastic tray below, my dog occasionally tries to scratch and pull it up; if this sounds like something your dog might do, I wouldn't leave your dog unattended with the pet park unless you clamp the grass to the tray and/or ensure that he's been trained to not play/scratch/bite it. Also, be sure to remove any loose plastic grass blades when you get it.

Overall, works as advertised. Definitely made my life easier.

This has been the best purchase. I bought this for our travel trailer. Sometimes we leave the dogs in the trailer while we go out and they sometimes cannot wait until we get back. They love to use the green grass to potty. I do not have to get up in the middle of the night to take them out to pee. They just use the PetZoom pet park. I put a puppy pad between the grass and the pan and just throw it away after they use it. When we get home we hose it off and store it ready for the next trip. I would recommend this for small dogs especially. This is a great litter box for small dogs.

I have a 10 lb toy poodle boy who learned to pee and poo on the pad within a week. I bought two so I can rotate between them. I started to notice the urine smell within two days and I decided to wash and air dry the pad every other day. After 3-4 weeks, I started to notice that it's getting harder and harder to wash off the smell from all three parts of them, including the synthetic grass, the mesh and bottom tray. I used 409 on the mesh and bottom tray, which improved the staining/smell problem a bit. But I am hesitated to use bleach or other detergent on the grass since my poodle sniffs around the grass and I don't want to expose him to toxic chemical. It is e beginning of the 6 weeks after I got these two pads. I just ordered the IRIS disposable pad and tray yesterday cause I can't stand the hardworking on cleaning up the synthetic pad and my family have been all complained about the smell tho I wash them every other day. I wish there is a product with synthetic grass but cat litter sand in the middle, which can absorb the urine and bad smell. Maybe I will try to make the combination myself to see how it goes. IF it works well, I will get back and let you guys know about it.

In theory this product works really well. My dog loved peeing on it and took to it with no problem. However, I was unaware of how disgusting it would smell. If I had thought about it (concentrated amounts of pee in one spot) I would have realized before purchasing how gross it would be. As well, if you accidentally tip it while trying to empty it, you would end up with pee all over you and the floor. While it is "eco friendly" because you are re-using the same product over and over, it is so awful that it is not worth it! The pee smell permeated throughout my condo and made me want to gag.

Wee-Wee Housebreaking Pads for Dogs

Wee-Wee Housebreaking Pads for Dogs, 100-Pack 22 ' by 23 'Four Paws Wee-Wee Pads are Super Absorbent. My Poodle has been using them for the past 5yrs. When I first got him we were living in a condo in the Las Vegas and was much too hot for his paws to go out for "potty breaks" during the day. He got use to using Wee-Wee pads during the daytime and went out at night.

We moved a few months later to a cooler climate but my work schedule was so chaotic that I never knew when I'd be home to let him out. He was wee-wee pad trained. So I'd leave a wee-wee pad out for those times when I couldn't make it home in time or when he was on allergy medicine that made him drink more water than normal.... and he'd use them.

5yrs have past and I still leave one out for him but normally I return home to find it dry and I let him out and that's that... but for those times when I do find it wet or when he has been ill I'm glad I left them there since I have little to no mess to clean.

(Note: these are also great for Seniors who can't take their dogs out or who do not want to go out after nightfall).

~FallenMoon

I've been using wee wee pads of various brands for about 4 years now. I first trained my Havanese to use them as a puppy when I lived in a New York City apartment. I've continued using them for convenience while I am working and because he prefers them to going outside in poor weather. I now have a second puppy who is also training on them.

My absolute favorite brand of wee pads is called Paw Trax. They have an incredibly fast absorbing gel inside that nothing I've found matches. I've only found them online on two dog specialty websites, but they are pretty pricey at about $.50 each! Not wanting to break the bank, I went in search of other brands. At first I discounted Wee Wee Pads because my local pet superstore sold them at such an outrageous price that the Paw Trax were a better deal. Then, I found them on Amazon at a much better price, especially for the 100 pack.

These pads, while not the best in my opinion, absorb fairly quickly and are more absorbent than some of the other bargain brands. The only problem I've experienced with them is that sometimes the pee seems to expand fairly wide when it is absorbing, which means it's only good for one use. Having two dogs, sometimes that means my second dog will not use the pad if I'm not around to change it. Other than that issue, I've never encountered anything else negative such as seeping through the plastic liner, etc.

I'm also fond of the Nature's Miracle Advanced pads which are larger and better suited for multiple uses. While these don't seem to absorb as quickly, they don't expand out as much. That combined with their larger size makes them ideal for my multi-dog home. Had I only had a single dog though, they might be a bit too large unless I was planning on leaving them out for extended periods while away.

a 150-pack box usually lasts us about 4 months with one mid-size dog. These Wee-Wee pads are fine, but they used to be better -does anyone remember when the blue borders used to be made of an absorbent material with a continuous plastic underlay? I think the design changed about a year ago, but since then, if my dog miss-aims and urinates too close to the blue border, urine leaks through the pad onto the floor, whereas before, the plastic underlay locked in the moisture from leaking out.

I have 2 (4lb) small breed puppies 1 female and 1 male just so you have a picture. The puppies were definitely attracted to the pads and it was very easy to get them to use the pads which I am grateful. The first pads I ever purchased were the Natures Miracle Advanced Wee Pads and not by choice I just walked in having just gotten my puppies and grabbed the first thing I came across. Now Natures Miracle was a tad expensive so I started looking for another brand more in my price range so I did a lot of research and this brand was rated high by people, then as luck would have it Pet Supplies Plus had a great sale on Four Paws Wee-Wee Pads, now after some use and after the excitement of them actually using the pads I started to become a tad disappointed. You pay a good dollar for these pads and I started to notice things, the size is smaller than the other pads and the 23x23 size meant I had to use 2 of them in my crates and on a side note the actual size of usable pad is 21x21. They are pretty thin and I have felt dampness on the underside of these pads which is a problem since they were sitting on carpet( I have since bought crate replacement trays). When the pups went tinkle it would just sit on the top of the fabric and pool before actually soaked in allowing the pups to walk thru it and tracking it on my carpet. When the female went tinkle she pretty much use up a good portion of the pad so I was changing them often so the price savings now has gone out the door. I also found there was no odor control with these pads.

So now I have tried Four Paws Wee-Wee pads, Dynarex Under pads(worst),Simply Right Super Absorbent under pads(very good-still use) and Natures Miracle Advanced Wee Pads(still use)and find Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra is the best by far for doggie wee pads!

I have to admit I am impressed on how absorbent Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra turned out to be. They claim to hold 6 cups of liquid and I believe it, this is the only pad with Polymer in it, Polymer helps absorption and keeps the spread of the liquid to a minimum getting more use out of the pad, this pad is also fantastic at keeping odor absorbed. I find Petsmart is the only place I can get these pads in-store in my area. The pad size is larger than the other wee pads at 27x23 compared to 23x24 and Natures usable pad area is pretty close to the 27x23 size where the other pads can be up to 4inches smaller in usable area size (so your 23x24 pad is actually 19x21 inches)because the blue border is non-absorbent and not usable(Dynarex brand)!! I just bought Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra on sale at Petsmart, 100pads for $39 which is a great price but I only use these in my crate due to that high price and for visit at friends houses. For daily use, I now go with Simply Right Super Absorbent 23x36 under pads from Sam's club which is also a very good product, not bad at keeping odor at bay, the size fits replacement crate trays, more room for 2 pups to use and best of all the cheap price tag of $24 for 120 pads and they are sold in-store, no need to order online. I will admit I would use these pads again if need be but there is no real savings in them as you do use more.

Our dog has been using these pads for years. We originally got them because we lived on a busy street and didn't want to let her outside at night and risk she might run out in the street. Later, she developed diabetes and, with both of us working, she would have "wee wee" several times a day. These were a life saver. They are absorbant enough to both capture and keep everything in one spot (LOL!) We highly recommened them.

Lupine 1-Inch 2-Feet Traffic Lead, Blaze Orange

Lupine 1-Inch 2-Feet Traffic Lead, Blaze OrangeThis leash is great to use to train dogs not to pull or be all over the place when walking. I have control of my dog.

Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan First Season DVD

Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan First Season DVDCesar Milan is a true Guru, his knowledge and experience is explained in his own words and actions, there is no pretence, just good solid advice most of which, if applied with care, can be accomplished by an amateur although some techniques shouldn't be tried without advice or by a professional, this is clearly stated where it is applicable and if you don't feel confident in applying these methods, again you should call in some-one who is, but I would check first that that person is sympathetic to the `Dog Whisperer' and his methods, simply because they work and they are sustainable without unnecessary apparatus or cruelty.

Cesar Milan is not going to teach you how to train your dog to sit and stay, he is dealing with dogs that, through no fault of their own, have gone beyond everyday acceptable behaviour and turned into various sized monsters with issues and phobias. Without exception, these animals have been brought back to be useful loving pets and working dogs, and he will show you how this was achieved.

A truly miraculous transformation can be attained with kindness and hard work.

I am honestly in awe of this man and his work and the videos in these series are a real testament to his ability. I have owned and trained Rottweilers for over 40 years

Dog Collar with Blue LED Lights, Multi-Function, Small

Dog Collar with Blue LED Lights, Multi-Function, SmallI ordered these LED collars for my two dogs, one is small one medium. Make sure to check their size chart and measure your dog before ordering. I did that and the collars fit perfectly.

I got one blue and one red, and both are beautiful and bright.

There are 3 different settings for the lights. I really liked that.

The only thing I could complain about is, you have to be somewhat careful not to get the collars wet. When they get very wet the lights just come on without pressing the button and won't go off. When that happened to us , we took the collar off and opened the battery part and let it dry. Once dry it worked normally again.

I bought 2 of these collars one kept shutting off, like it had a short in it, BUT the 2nd one is awesome! I have a black dog, and I feel so much safer walking him in the dark with this flashing, extremely bright collar. I returned the non-working collar but just reordered another for my second dog. I love them!

Bought this for our Jack Russell when we go camping. We didn't want him wandering off and getting lost. It was a hit at the campground, everybody got a kick out of it. And it was easy to spot our dog!

My dogs look great in these collars. My Maltese is 7 lbs so I buckle it around her upper rib cage area under and it is loose so she can still breathe.

My 10Lb Pom wears his around his neck but only as a safety measure. The collar is a bit large on him so he wears his regular harness and I use that for the least. Blinky lights collar keeps him illuminated at night.

Puppy Wee Wee Housebreaking Pads 23x36 Chux 300/case. Irregular

Puppy Wee Wee Housebreaking Pads 23x36 Chux 300/case. IrregularTis prouct is great! Works well for my little chi who goes on the pads. Great price, shipper accidentally sent me less than what I ordered and immediately made order correct with no problems what so ever. Will definitely buy from them again!

The old saying "you get what you pay for" describes my experience with this product. They are flimsy and are usless as far as using them for our dogs. They do not stay flat and ball up causing the dogs to pee on the plastic part and the floor. I have tried using 2 at a time, putting them in corners nothing works. I plan on ordering the more expensive ones and throwing these out as I cannot use them for Housebreaking purposes.

This is the second time we ordered and we love it! It's a bit expensive, but it doesnt leak. Since the wee wee pads are big and long, it prevents our dog from peeing outside the pad and if he only pees on one side of it, we just fold it in half and wait for our dog to pee on the other half before throwing it out. Overall it's a good product!

I love these pads and will never buy anything else in the future!! These pads are bigger than any others I've tried and they cover the perfect amount of surface area to catch and absorb everything. Our dog is a 70lb pitbull and she hits the "target" perfectly on these bigger pads. Excellent product!! I've waiting for something this good and I've finally found it!

Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Large, Baubles/Deep Purple

Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Large, Baubles/Deep PurpleI have a 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever that weighs about 60 pounds. She freakin loves life. Everything about it. The blade of grass that is slightly longer than the other blades of grass, kids that are a block away, other dogs we pass on our walk, random strangers that will obviously love her just as much as she loves them if she could just get to them. And dear god, does she ever love going to the vet. In every other facet of life, she is the worlds most well behaved dog, but as soon as she gets outside around people and other animals, she completely spazzes out. I've tried no pull harnesses in the past with varying degrees of success. But after about 10 minutes with this on, I had my well behaved dog back when in public! She will still paw at her nose occasionally if we are standing still for too long but she has gotten use to it. She knows that as soon as I pull it out, it means we are going someplace fun so gets really excited to see it. She walks right by my leg now without having to be reminded. Half of the time, I tuck the other end of the leash in my pocket because she doesn't try to sprint for shiny objects any more. I've been using it with her for about six weeks now. She will occasionally try to make a break for it when she is on a normal leash but nowhere near as much. I'm guessing that with more use, she'll figure out that she needs to utilize her 'good puppy walking' skills even without it on. My main suggestion for folks trying it the first few times is to put the lead on RIGHT before you do something fun. And keep them moving while they are getting use to it. Eventually they will forget about pawing at it and will get use to how it feels. During our first few walks, she would start rubbing her nose against the sidewalk when we had to wait at a cross walk, but she has stopped doing that. Give it time and don't give up.

I love this collar!! It is amazing. My German Shepherd gets very excited about going for walks and always wants to be a few steps ahead of me. Which is fine, but I would have to constantly tug and pull her back to keep her from pulling me along. This collar solved that problem instantly. Now she walk just a few steps ahead but rarely pulls and when she does it's a very easy, gentle correction. Now we both can enjoy our walks. The gentle leader is also very easy to adjust and it only took my dog a few times to get used to it. I highly recommend this product, especially for big dog owners.

I have a 75 lb dog who is 2 1/2-still a puppy at heart. This is the only way I have control on our walks. It works just great! I can't say enough about having this . Mine is padded on the nose and it is much gentler on my "pup" then the non-padded type

We ordered this collar and leash to help keep our Labradoodle from pulling. We are working her slowly up to longer walks, but so far the head collar has helped immensely. She is not able to pull when on the leash. It will take some getting used to on her part as she is currently trying to swipe the nope piece off with her paws.

Pros

Works as advertised

Easy to fit when follow the insert or dvd

Sizing and length of leash and collar good

I had gone through about seven different products trying to walk our bullmastiff. I have bursitis in both shoulders and we would both hurt for two to three days after every walk (my shoulders, his neck or chest where he pulled on collars and harnesses). He never grew to like this thing, but he did understand that putting it on meant going out so he tolerated it. I was finally able to walk him without feeling like I was being drawn and quartered--no mean feat with a 120+ pound dog with bad leash habits. Also, he could still pant, eat treats, and drink with the collar on, so if he fought me when we got home it wasn't an emergency if I couldn't take it off right away (as it had been with a muzzle we tried). He was incredibly dog-aggressive and did not like strangers, so control was VERY important to us, and this collar enabled me to take him on walks, to the vet, and to the groomer without any drama. I am getting a new one for our spastic lab puppy now.

RC Pet Products 1-1/2-Inch All Webbing Martingale Dog Collar, Small, Nirvana

RC Pet Products 1-1/2-Inch All Webbing Martingale Dog Collar, Small, Nirvanait was exactly what i was looking for. It was a great fit and looks good on my italian greyhound. Thanks

I bought this collar because it seemed great, and it really is a lovely collar but NO release clasp! You have to make it as large as possible, slip it over the head, and re-tighten it... every time. That's a deal-breaker for me, but I realize that it isn't for everyone. The overall quality is superb, otherwise; very strong and sturdy, and the designs are quite vibrant. If you don't need to take the collar off often, and the max inches would fit around your dog's head, it would probably be a good collar for your pet.

SammyDoo Pet Diaper Wrap Fits, Approximately 6-Pound to 20-Pound, 11 to 15-Inch, Girth 18 to 24-Inch

SammyDoo Pet Diaper Wrap Fits, Approximately 6-Pound to 20-Pound, 11 to 15-Inch, Girth 18 to 24-Inch, Small, RedAs a doggie diaper, the SammyDoo Pet Diaper is priceless. It does an excellent job of staying put and holding the diaper securely. It's extremely well constructed of quality materials and surprisingly low priced. Should it be needed, the garment can be washed in the washing machine. Just be sure to cover all the Velcro or it will adhere to other garments. Let it air dry instead of putting it in the dryer.

So, why did I rate it with only four stars? The product description includes this statement: "Swaddles and Comforts your pet to make them feel secure and helps with anxieties." The SammyDoo is not only meant to protect your home and clothing from your dog's excretions but, to make your pet feel less anxious and more secure. That was my sole purpose in ordering it. Our vet diagnosed our little dog as anxious and having separation anxiety. I hoped it would relax him but, I can see no discernible difference in his behavior.

You may want to know:

*If your pet is afraid of noises, s/he may react to the sound of opening the Velcro when using the SammyDoo Pet Diaper--mine did and didn't like it. A big drawback is that if the item is used for curbing anxieties--not as a diaper--you must remove and replace it every time you take your pet outside for urinating and bowel movements. There goes that sound again...

*The tag featuring the five-steps pictorial graphics for placing the garment on a pet are small and not so easy to follow. Additionally, it's hard to get a pet to stand still long enough to get it on properly.

*The size chart states a weight range that is simply not detailed enough. For example, the small size can fit dogs from six-20 pounds with a girth of 11 to 24 inches.

If your dog needs a diaper and isn't bothered by noise, this is an excellent product. If you want to buy it to make him/her less anxious, consider the drawbacks and personal experience I noted.

My dog has numerous health issues that cause him to have periodic urinary incontinence. He has for over a year slept in a Simple Solution Washable Male Wrap, although I gave up on the recommended pads long ago. Dog pads are not up to the job; I use Poise Ultimate Absorbency Pads or generic equivalent with much better success.

The male wrap is not always perfect. Even with the larger pads, they don't always contain everything. Because of this, I've covered his bedding (in his crate) with a waterproof bassinet pad so that he doesn't ruin the foam. It can be a pain washing these, however. Also, the velcro seems to have relaxed a bit on one of the two pads we keep in circulation. It will no longer stay on overnight...clearly, not ideal!

With that in mind, i thought I'd give this diaper wrap a try. You can see my fellow in his in the customer action shots.

Speaking of those pictures, currently among the photos is an extension kit an additional velcro pad and some strap lengtheners. These DO NOT come with this product. If you get this, you're getting the basic kit only.

I didn't find the item that difficult to put on the dog, maybe because I've been manhandling him into doggie diapers for some time. He grumbles a bit but put up with it about as well as the less complicated mechanism, even though he didn't care for having his tail pushed through the loop. As soon as it was on, he seemed perfectly fine with it. It didn't restrict his movements in any way, and he comfortably followed his routine through the rest of the day.

We did encounter some problems during the night, however. The velcro sticks to the flannel covering of the pad. It pulled the bedding askew and also pulled the diaper out of shape. We never had this problem with the male wrap.

Another reviewer using the product to calm his dog mentioned that his dog found the noise of removal distressing. This is something shared by the male wrap as well. It's something my dog has never gotten used to; he jumps every time I take it off.

After having used the item for some weeks, I have to say it seems to be slightly better at containing urine than the male wrap, maybe because it is universally snug where the male wrap has elasticized bands on each side. It doesn't always contain everything, though, and cleaning it is more of a production than the male wrap. Because of the greater area of velcro, it continues getting caught on fabrics, which remains an issue.

We have reverted to the male wraps for the most part but may pull this out when his health goes into bad periods. As long as his incontinence remains infrequent, the male wrap and bassinet pads seem to do a good job of keeping him comfortable and containing the mess without the more elaborate structure and the issues with catching on things. That may change if he develops more frequent problems.

My husband and I rescued a little 9-pound Maltese dog whom we named Lola from the puppy mills. The poor little girl had no socializing and did not know many of the basics: climbing stairs, walking on a leash, and most of all, potty training.

She's really sweet and we've come a long way with her but potty training is still not under control. So I decided to try this Sammy Doo Diaper Wrap. I ordered mine in small, which was the perfect fit for Lola. The bright red color and the solid cloth material are stylish and show evidence of quality craftsmanship.

Here is the problem: it's difficult to figure out how to use it. Lola was getting increasingly agitated as my husband and I with the help of a visiting couple tried to figure this out. We put Lola's tail through the elastic opening in the rear of the wrap, but then couldn't figure out where to attach the Velcro and where to attach the multiple straps. By the time the front shoulder straps were securely in place, Lola was totally miserable with us.

Once the SammyDoo Pet Diaper Wrap was on with a pee liner in place it did its job and Lola seemed fine with it. But then we were afraid to take it off and start all over again! It would have been a simple matter for the company to a) provide larger and more visual instructions (they do include hard-to-follow wearing instructions) or b) offer simple icons on the wrap so that customers know what goes where. I really like this whole concept but can only recommend with reservations.

The biggest problem I had with the SammyDoo Pet Diaper Wrap was figuring out how to put it on. The instructions that come with it are terrible, the company definitely needs someone else writing their instructions. Finally after watching a YouTube video on how to put it on I got it on my dog correctly. The other problem I have with this product is that it runs a little on the small side. My Shih Tzu weighs 17 pounds so I got the medium which is supposed to fit up to 20 pounds but it is a little snug. Otherwise the product worked great once I got it on him. I used Poise pads instead of the diaper and they are very absorbent. There are no leaks with this product as I have had with other doggie diapers and he can go all day in his SammyDoo Diaper Wrap.

Well, my little guy looks JUST like the model for this item and sometimes feels the need to mark his territory in undesirable places so I thought I'd give this a go. I've tried some home-made solutions for a belly band to help with it which didn't work out so well. I like how nicely this fit and it was easy to put on him. The problem is, he's not used to wearing things around him so it sort of freaked him out a bit and he wouldn't move or lay down or sit. I will keep trying with him, it seems like a really great product and I want it to work. Not just the "diaper" aspect, but the calming aspect. That would be great for those summer thunderstorms.

Fromm Four-Star Cheese Low-Fat Dog Treats, 6-Ounce Bag

Fromm Four-Star Cheese Low-Fat Dog Treats, 6-Ounce BagOur 5 month old puppy loves these! They're great for training since they are 1 calorie per treat, according to the Fromm website. Since our dog is a small breed, we break each treat into 2 or 3 pieces for training so it's easier for him to chew quickly (this also makes the treats last longer).

The container of dog treats was delivered quickly. My dog is iffy on eating these. I can only give one every blue moon. Most of the other dogs I have tried it on were not crazy about it either.

I have to small poms and neither one of them would eat these. They actually have a good smell to them and even smell like parmesean cheese but both just snubed their noses up. I gave the package to my dad and his dog loved them so I guess it just depends on the dog. Mine must be a little too spoiled.
