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.

Pet Naturals of Vermont Daily Catch For Dogs

Daily Catch for DogsMy 2yr old Cockapoo spends quite a bit of time scratching. The vet said if theres no hair missing and no sores or blood, they don't worry about it. Still, it annoys me and I know it annoys her.

I gave her one of these treats (because of the salmon oil) 2 evenings ago and the next morning there was FAR less scratching !! Another last night and NO scratching this morning. Probably a gigantic coincidence but its never happened before!

I will report back if the scratching comes back but so far I'm putting it in the miracle class. I may start takeing them myself just on general principals.

This is my dogs favorite treat and it's healthy. The 1st ingredient listed is fish which I think makes it's tastier and dogs get omega 3 from it which helps keep their skin and coat healthy. This makes a great treat for dogs with allergies also. My dog chose this treat over Halo and Zukes which are other popular healthy brands and a bit pricy.

This product is okay. Our dog Gracie loves them, but then again she loves everything. It's too early to see any difference in her coat or health.

i chose this rating because my dog loves the cookies. I would have given it 5 stars if the package wasn't open when I got them.

Silent Dog Whistle

Silent Dog WhistleThis whistle is not a "silent" whistle. You can hear the whistle, I have tried to adjust it but it still makes noise. There are few directions on how to adjust or use the whistle. I would not buy one again. I have had it for about a month and it has been laying in a drawer most of that time. The shipping was fast.

The directions on the package say to turn the adjustment screw until an audible pitch is heard and then to continue to twist until the tone disappears. From the initial setting, I twisted the adjustment screw until it came out of the unit, and I could still not get the adudible tone to disappear, nor did the animal respond at any pitch. I found the unit not to work as decribed and threw it away.

The whistle is advertised as silent to the human ear, but it isn't. It isn't loud or piercing, and the dogs do respond to it quickly. And that's what I bought it for. It is adjusted by twisting it, which is easy.

No matter where you put the adjuster it doesn't even come close to a frequency that is inaudible to humans.

I threw it in the trash.

If you think you are getting a silent dog whistle, think again. Do not be taken in by the claims made here. You can hear this thing a mile away even if you are hard of hearing.

Pet Dog Play Pen 59" Tent Puppy Cat Exercise Pen Soft Play Yard Kennel Dog Crate Cag Zipped Bottom P

Pet Dog Play Pen 59' Tent Puppy Cat Exercise Pen Soft Play Yard Kennel Dog Crate Cag Zipped Bottom PanelTHIS PLAYPEN LOOKS NICE BUT MY TWO CATS WERE OUT OF THIS THING IN 30SECONDS. WISH I HAD KNOWN BEFORE TIME. NOW I GOTTA BUY A REGULAR CAGE TO KEEP THEM SECURE. IT WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF $. WHY WOULDNT THE MANUFACTURER SEAL THE BOTTOM OR ATLEAST ALLOW THE BOTTOM TO ZIPPEN LIKE THE TOP SO U COULD JUST PLACE THE USELESS MAT ON TOP OF IT TO REMOVE IT FOR WASHING AT A LATER DATE. ITS NOT FOR GROWING PETS

This arrived quickly and is very big! It is taller than we expected which may make it hard for mama kitty to get out, but we can work with that. This is so well made and very sturdy. The top and bottom do ZIP on. Some of the reviews say it is velcro, but it is not. It is a sturdy zipper. We are going to use it for four kittens that were born two weeks ago. Seems that male stray I adopted is not a boy. Anyway, like I said, very good size, very sturdy, and goes almost up to my chest. I have crawled inside, and there is plenty of room. This will be great for the kittens and would be good for a small or medium dog. The picture makes the screen seem dark, but it is really easy to see out of and through.

I purchased this product as an alterantive to a crate for my beagle/chihuahua mix. The item was a perfect size for her and all of her necessities. Unfortunately, the bottom panel that has the velcro attached to it, doesnt line up properly with the playpen. And because my dog notice the gap in between panel, she dug her out it and bit up my carpet while i was at work. I am now buying her a crate.

Just received this item, set up was a breeze. Let my Jack Russell check it out and he was very happy. It is just what I needed to keep him confined when I am away from home, and also to use when visiting friends. Wish there were a few more instructions on care, basically came with none. But not a reason not to purchase-

As my wife and I were driving down a country road, we watched as an individual dropped something in the ditch and then drove off. Once we arrived at that location, we realized he had dropped a Dachsund dog. Upon further inspection, we found the dog to have a dislocated knee and dislocated hip and infections in both ears. We took the dog to the vet and continue to treat him. Thusly, we now have another pet in addition to the dog we already have and the two cats that someone else dropped in our neighborhood that we adopted. Because my wife and I are at work for ten hours during the day and we didn't want to coop up our new pet in a cage, we decided to check our favorite website Amazon for a better alternative. After extensive research, we decided on the 59-inch Pet Dog Play Pen for which this review is written.

We received the pen by the scheduled date and it appeared to be nicely constructed and included a nice canvas storage/carry bag. It was very easy to set up as you basically just unfold it and it pops up like a tent. You then must zip the top and bottom panels in and it's ready to go in about five minutes total. We were excited about our new purchase thinking that we had solved our problem for $77. We were especially pleased that the pen had an easily cleanable bottom since we have hardwood floors and our new guest had already relieved himself numerous times on the floor. Unfortunately, our happiness was short-lived.

The first day of use, the Dachsund broke through the mesh door. We sewed a hard plastic utility fencing over the hole but he separated the zipper and broke free again on the second day. My wife resewed a new piece of plastic fencing large enough to cover the zipper and we stapled it and taped over it as well...he still broke through. I then took a plastic storage tub top and nailed a 4-inch x 4-inch piece of lumber to the bottom for weighting and blocked the doorway with it but the dog moved this and escaped again. It was at this point that we decided to scrap this play pen and buy a large metal kennel which has since acheived our goal albeit an ugly addition to our living room. We were out $95 for the kennel which wouldn't have been quite so bad if we hadn't already wasted $77 on the play pen.

In summary, I can only surmise that the play pen would be a good purchase if you have a very docile pet but for any other animal that really wants to get out, I don't see this item doing the trick. It's light so it won't scratch the floor, it's got a bottom so it will protect the floor, it's roomy and it looks better than a metal cage in a living room but none of this means anything if your pet can easily escape its confines.

Biodegradable Puppy Pad

Clean Go Pet Biodegradable Puppy Pad, 100-PackI ordered these because Dr. Foster and Smith stopped carrying the biodegradable pee pads. We have used them for years for three adorable chihuahuas. These pads are the worst we've ever used. The plastic backing is brittle and cracks apart like phillo dough! Without the backing intact they are pointless. I shipped them back the same day I received them in the mail. Not worth a penny...

I have used other brands of biodegradable pads and they did not fall apart like these. The backing of the pads was flaking off even before we opened the box. If you can get beyond having to peel up bits of the backing off the floor then I guess these do the job...

Unfortunately my older dog needs puppy pads. I feel much greener if I can use biodegradable products. These are great...quite absorbant and very nice.

Not as well as Foster & Smith's old biodegradable pads, but they do a good job for my two maltese.

We have gotten these many times because we have indoor dogs and don't want to put stuff in landfills that won't biodegrade. We have never had a problem with these things. They are a little expensive so I give four stars. At a somewhat lower price I'd give them five stars. They've been perfectly fine, no complaints at all.

Pet Gear Short Bi-Fold Carpeted Pet Ramp For Cats And Dogs, Tan

Pet Gear Short Bi-Fold Carpeted Pet Ramp For Cats And Dogs, TanI think the idea of the product is good but the carpet needed more grip to it as my dog could not get traction to go up the ramp. Item was return as it was too short for more than one step unless the incline was made steeper, causing slipping.

This product didnt fit onto the back of my suv nor did it hold my 85lb dog, when he was trying to walk up the ramp it feel off the trunk even though it was secured. too short and wont hold the weight.

Our bassett hound is getting older and it was getting more and more difficult for her to get up on "her" couch even with the small set of stairs there. This ramp is exactly what we needed to help her out. And the price thru Amazon was the best we found for this ramp.

Herm Sprenger NECK-TECH Prong Training Collar 24"

Herm Sprenger NECK-TECH Prong Training Collar 24'It looks nice! From far away I get compliments all the time. You really can't tell its a prong collar until close up. I have it on my pitbull and he doesn't seem to react to it the way a regular prong collar does. Might be more suitable for smaller dogs.

This collar is the best of a half dozen we have tried with our Rottweiler, who is still in training. It does not cause him pain but apparently just enough discomfort to help him decide that chasing that other dog probably isn't worth the effort. After a week or so, I realized that he realized that the human next to him was now in control. Training has gone very smoothly after that breakthrough. He is a very smart animal and if there were a way to get around this collar, he would have figured it out by now. We often leave it on him (loosely) for a day or two (not wanting him to associate it exclusively with training or a walk) with absolutely no ill effects. Highly recommended for any resistant trainee or hard to control dog on a walk.

3 Pocket Training Apron

3 Pocket Training ApronI do commercial fleet washing and have to carry up to 40 keys to different vehicles at a time. Some of our customer locations are pretty large. I needed an apron that was large enough to carry a ring of keys and have a pocket to put them in after I park each vehicle, plus a pocket for other things like a pen, my notebook, etc. This fit the bill. I love the hook too. Because the pockets are a little on the small side, I am able to hook my key ring on the hook and it works very well.

This product is durable enough to last a long time. The clasp is tough too! The only warning I have is DO NOT pick up the apron by the belt if it is open-it will pull completely out of the apron!

I definately suggest this product to everyone who needs a durable apron.

Leerburg Dominant Dog Collar - Blue

16' Dominant Dog CollarGreat back up when using any prong collar & Leerburg prong leash system. Secure, easy, works like a charm. This in no way hinders the ease of training, just peace of mind.

This collar makes it simple to take the dog out for a quick potty break and works as a good backup/training collar for our prong session. I've only had our prong collar fall off once, but with the DDC I don't have to worry about my dog getting off leash in the city. I've used this on a 'strong-willed' dog and with it on she is easily controlled with little corrections. Please READ and UNDERSTAND how this collar is to be used and worn.
