Herm Sprenger Steel Dog Training Collar, 20-Inch, Fine 2.0 Millimeter

Herm Sprenger Steel Dog Training Collar, 20-Inch, Fine 2.0 MillimeterIt works for showing but it is too thin to be sturdy enough for everyday use, especially if your dog ever pulls. I attach my leash so it doesnt choke and my dog snapped this chain within a week.

This product appears to be of good quality, but it is NOT a 20-inch collar, it's a 17-inch collar. At this reduced price, it is just cheap enough to make one reluctant to bother with all the repackaging, traveling to the post office, etc. involved in returning it. Small potatoes, but a rip-off, nevertheless.

SportDOG Orange Check Cord, 30-Foot

SportDOG Orange Check Cord, 30-Footgreat lead, great quality, very happy, would recomend, only draw back is no handle/loop for the hand but not a big deal

This item is strong and very lightweight.

I use it for a tie-out for my terrier who loves to run around. Because I live in a community that does not allow fencing it is perfect for when we are not walking on a leash.

Kyjen Outward Hound Treat N Ball Bag, Green

Kyjen Outward Hound Treat N Ball Bag, GreenEasy to carry around, easy to get treats out of, dog recognizes bag and knows we're about to do training exercises/pays attention better. Like the fact that it will carry a ball too. I use it on walks and at the dog park and would definitely recommend. Oh, also has a nice small front pocket I put my keys and my pup's clicker in which is also nice when we go on walks.

This is my second Outward Hound bag the first was lost when it fell off on a walk....and this one will likely meet the same fate one day. This is a redesign of the prior bag which had a small pocket on the front and only the clip on the back. Here's the good and the bad:

Good: Addition of velcro strip on back

Bad: I wish there were two strips, one vertical, one horizontal so that it fit a greater variety of pants, belts etc.

Good: Better closure for treats yet access seems easier and bag seems deeper

Bad: Elimination of small front pocket (where I kept my poop bag, until used of course).

Bad and not improved shallow clip, doesn't stay where attached.

So....the bag attaches easily to jeans or other pants that might have a loop for the velcro strip. But it's difficult to attach it to sweats or yoga pants. If you use just the clip the bag will fall off on the first walk....although amazingly my first bag lasted nearly a year! This clip seems less secure though.

I like the treat bag. Much better than putting the training treats in a baggie. In fact my dog recognizes the bag and is eager to do his work. The vendor was very good about processing and getting the product out to me. Highly recommended. Thanks.

My dog ate my last treat bag. I had it for years and can't find one like it. This one had such good reviews I thought I'd give it a try, but I hate it and will be replacing it as soon as I find another good one. The belt hook is so tiny that it's useless. If I bend over, the bag falls off and the treats spill everywhere. The little inside closure is awkward and difficult to loosen quickly. By the time I open it to dig a treat out my dog has given up on me! Perhaps it works better for balls but it's a terrible treat bag if you are trying to train your dog.

Want Kyjen Outward Hound Treat N Ball Bag, Green Discount?

This one is holding up much better (although it's only been a couple of months and we generally use this on weekends only) than the other Kyjen treat bag we purchased. I must say, this is our third one in total, and none of them compare to the original one of years ago. They are certainly being more cheaply made and are not as durable.

Pet Buddies PB1719 Googlie Stanley Skunk Large Toy

Pet Buddies PB1719 Googlie Stanley Skunk Large ToyI originally bought this for my mom's shih tzu, however, I failed to pay attention to this being a "large" toy. It was almost as big as the poor girls head! Despite her (the shih tzu's) attempts, she just couldn't play with it.

Luckily my niece has a boxer/english mastiff cross and she has destroyed every toy but this one. Well, until now haha.

She's just now after several weeks managed to gnaw off a single leg, but its still her favorite toy, and for a dog with a boxer's energy and a mastiff's size and power--that says something.

Definitely worth the money, provided your dog is a serious enough sized dog to enjoy it. I'd recommend this one for dogs anywhere from 45lbs+ in size. Basically medium sized and up.

I gave this to my sister for her dog. Her dog loves to play with it. She says he takes it all over the house.

I purchased this for my two boxer puppies. It is very durable (so far) and so cute! The rubber is very heavy so they won't be tearing it any time soon. They aren't used to the squeaker yet, but love chewing on it.

I think we own 5 or 10 of these "Googlies" by now and we love them (Oh, and so does the dog!). They keep Duke entertained for hours on end because of the unique shapes and the squeaking, I think. Plus, we like them because of the neat characters! I definitely recommend checking out a Googlie or two for you and your pet!

Crazy Dog Train-Me! Training Treats

Crazy Dog Train-Me! Training Treats, BaconIs this price for one bag? At $27.95 a pound, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to pay a French chef to cut filet mignon into tiny bits?

These were on sale at Petco, so we gave them a try. They're too big to give for frequent clicker treats with my 35 lb dog. (Cutting them in half is about right.)

Even though they're heavily scented, they're just not her favorite. She'd rather have (3) Pounds of Lamb Lung (Baa Baa Q's) or Dogswell Vitality Dog Treats, Chicken, 6-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6) any day.

Sanitary Pants

Sanitary Pants, Small, BlackI just received this for my Corgi. She can move in it just fine and doesn't seem bothered by it at all. I had no clue which size to order since I couldn't find any info here or even on the manufacturer's site. Luckily I got the correct size. If anyone else is thinking about buying this, the sizing guide on the back of the box says the following:

X-SM. 3-7 lbs., SM. 8-14 lbs., MED. 15-27 lbs., LARGE 28-50 lbs., X-LARGE 50 lbs. and over.

Hope that helps!

The product is not really what i would have bought had i actually seen in . It functions but it is a cheap vynle material and looks kind of Trashy. Only thing good about it , is that you can rinse it off and it does not hold a smell. I bought another type that was fabric and has been a much better product. Althougth it has to be washed in a washing machine. Overall the fabric Pants are by far a better quality .

I have used these "panties" on 3 German Shepherds for at least 15 yrs, and Cairn Terriers before that. They have lasted forever. FINALLY after 15 yrs, the plastic tore where the snap is. WELL worth the money!! My dogs have not found them uncomfortable like most of the pants you find. I just tell them they have to get their "Big Girl Panties" on when they come in and they just stand there and wait for their treat :) I use regular human maxi pads with wings to put inside. Will buy several pairs this time just in case they ever stop making them. Highly recommend. Bev Sanitary Pants, X-Large Black

Great product for the dog when she needs it. Not big and bulky, nor does it look silly like some of the diaper panties do when the dog is in heat.

Want Sanitary Pants Discount?

My puppy went into heat at a very young age right in the middle of a family vacation in a house full of people and dogs. She had been scheduled to be spayed and I had never dealt with such a thing before. I bought this garment for her at a pet supply store. Per the advice of the pet store expert, I bought regular human pantie liners and cut them down to go inside. This garment was the smallest and most discrete, yet we never had any problems. Puppy did not object to it and comes readily to me when I am holding it, as long as she gets her treat! Rinses easily. I am on Amazon to buy a backup so I can have a fresh garment prepped and waiting for her when we return from walks.

Fruitables Sweet Potato & Pecan Crunchy Dog Treats 1-7 ounce Pouch

Fruitables Sweet Potato & Pecan Crunchy Dog Treats 1-7 ounce PouchThese treats smell good. I actually bought them for my rabbits because I didn't know dogs eat pumpkin, and like it. When the rabbits hear me open the package they run to the cage door and climb over each other to be the first one to get a treat. And, the dog loves them too, although he is jealous of the rabbits so I don't know if he eats them because he likes them or because he doesn't want the rabbits to get any. I actually ate one myself to see what the fuss was about only to find out they are rather bland, but the crunchiness was nice. As long as my pets are happy, then I am happy. Thanks for the speedy delivery and the discount prices.

I purchased these fruit treats for my dogs for the first time and they just love them. They are all natual and healthy too. They are small in size which I like because of the size of my dogs. I brought 2 flavors just to try and they loved both of them. I would recommend these for any size dog.

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.

6' Genuine Leather Braided Dog Leash Brown 3/8" Wide for Small Dogs

6' Genuine Leather Braided Dog Leash Brown 3/8' Wide for Small DogsThis is a good quality leash, well made, and good looking. We couldn't find an appropriate leash in town, they were either nylon or, if leather, too big. We have an Welsh corgi, so we don't need a big heavy leash, and this one fit the bill perfectly, and speaking of fitting the bill, it fit the budget too.

Hamilton 3/4" x 6' Burgundy Leather Training Dog Lead

Hamilton 3/4' x 6' Burgundy Leather Training Dog LeadThe leash appears to be well-made and sturdy. The leather has attractive 'ridging' and quality seems to be somewhat better than the dog leads from the discount stores. I gave it 4 stars primarily for value, and also I was hoping the color would be more distinctive. However, the color is pretty close to the standard brown, and I've given the "generic" type leather dog leashes pretty tough use over several years without failure. Overall, not that much to distinguish from less expensive leather leads, although I know dog owners who have had quality dog leashes for multiple generations of pets maybe it will ultimately pay for itself.

This Lead is very strong which is desirable for my Airedale Terrier; my prior leather lead was dependent upon a rivet at a critical point--this one is amply sewed at that critical point.

Buy Hamilton 3/4" x 6' Burgundy Leather Training Dog Lead Now

I ordered this lead to match a dog's collar. I double-checked, two unique log-ins, holding the collar up to the screen, to be certain the dark red of the "Burgandy" collar would match the dark red of the lead. Unfortunately, the lead is really dark, reddish brown, NOT burgandy. The seller was extremely unhelpful and refused to reimburse me for the return shipping costs of $6.85, although I had no way to see the color accurately. The seller, Ozbo, blamed the color on Amazon, saying that Ozbo wasn't responsible for the digitial color I saw. Amazon, of course, blamed the seller. I got Amex involved, but they could do nothing except get my original purchase price and orginal shipping refunded. I got stuck with the return postage charge because Ozbo and/or Amazon can't get colors to reproduce truly on the screen. I do not advise buying Anything from Amazon when the color really matters, particularly not when the seller refuses to stand behind the product.

SportHunter 800 by SportDOG - SD-800

SportHunter 800 by SportDOG - SD-800I've only had the collar for a week and only now had the chance to use it in the field ... all I can say is WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I should say that my dog already knew basic commands like "Come", "Sit", "Stay", "Heel", and "Down" but getting him to do those things off-lease was a real challenge. With the radio collar, things are a snap. Games of fetch are now actually fun for both of us. He used to run after the ball, catch it, but then proceed to not come back with it. Prompts of treats didn't help past the first one or two throws. After only two "tickles" on the lowest setting (and we really are talking a "tickle" here ... I tested it on myself and the lowest setting is far less than you might get from a shock from walking on synthetic or wook carpeting), he now makes a bee line back to me after only getting the tone prompt. With only one tickle at the lowest setting, he's even heeling off lease as we walk home from throwing the ball. Truly ... if you have a dog who already knows basic commands and you'd like to be able to take him off-lease for games (or hunting as the product description states) this is a wonderful product. This is not a substitute for training but is a very effective supplement to it. All my dog needed was the reinforcement that I meant the commands I was giving him even off-lease.

An additional kudos to the Petsafe company ... the originally shipped transmitter (the part that looks like a little FRS radio) was defective making the set essentially useless. One call to Petsafe and they replaced the transmitter with a new one with no problelm.

I had owned one before (the 400) and this one is much better, better range and my dog really listens to this. I am not cruel in using this I mainly use the short zap button which is enough to remind her to listen and I don't have to turn it up onto the max setting. She is a very strong willed dog and refuses to listen sometimes and needs to be reminded. Many times the tone alone is enough to get her attention. The charge lasts longer on this unit than my old one also, expensive but a very good buy if you need help in controlling a strong willed dog. Just be careful, don't let the kids use this (they may deliver too much shock and hold the buttons too long) and make sure you are not cruel in it's use. This is a tool which if used right will make a world of difference in you dog's behavior. There are times when you need control but you can't catch up to the dog or it is too far away to want to listen. I am happy with this purchase and would reccommend it.

I've had the Sport Dog training collar for 2 weeks now. It was a replacement for a "cheap" ($100) one from W.Mart that used watch batteries on the collar and a 9V on the transmitter. After buying more batteries than I care to admit, I finally bought this one. Both the receiver and transmitter batteries recharge by a wall plug (at the same time) and the unit is waterproof which is great. The dog responds well to one of the low settings and has quickly gotten used to the tone to avoid the zap. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating was that the batteries need to be recharged every other day if you leave it on. It's not an issue, I would just prefer to have larger capicity batteries. Add that to the lifetime warranty and it has been a good deal so far.

I was looking for a training collar for my large dogs. I bought this along with the Add-a-dog collar because I had been told good things about this brand. When I received the product, however, I was disappointed to find that there was only one mode available when you had two collars attached. In this mode, I could only shock each dogI could not warn them with a pager or tone. While I think this product would work great with just one dog, (there are a lot of different settings), it is not a great two dog system. Also, to switch back and forth between one dog use and two dog use, you have to insert a sharp point in the back of the transmitter to reset the whole unit. I decided to go with something better.

Neat'n Dry -Wee Wee Training Pet Pad Extra Large 20pk x 4 (Total 80 Pads)

Neat'n Dry -Wee Wee Training Pet Pad Extra Large 20pk x 4The "Neat'n Dry -Wee Wee Training Pet Pad Large 20pk x 5 (Total 100 Pads)" I feel are the Best product on the market today at the Best price. I use them with the "Iris FT-940 Large Floor Protection Tray" for "Pet Training Pads by Iris", sold separately at Amazon.com. Please note that by themselves, these Wee Wee Training pads are not self adhering to the floor.

The pads are highly absorbent and help retain odor. They hold their shape and an amazing amount of liquid, unlike the bargain pads. The ***Large size(XL on package label), accommodates small adult dogs, beagles, Jack Russell Terriers, dachshunds, schnauzers etc., as well as puppies. The pads are great if you, or your dog, are unable to get out due to working, illness, age or bad weather.

***Note the product description states "LARGE" pads, but the front right packaging of the pads has "XL", as in Extra Large, and the actual pad size "23.5 in. X 35.5 in." is printed below the XL. In this case,[Large, 23.5"x35.5" and XL] all mean the same thing for this particular product.

The Iris FT-940 Large Floor Protection tray, sold separately, locks this pad in place and saves your floor from mishaps and discourages puppies from chewing up the pad. The tray top snaps over the pad and leak-proof bottom tray like a frame over a picture. They're a match made in heaven.

I have to use a folded towel underneath these just as I did the ones I use to get at Petsmart. I've never had any that control ordor as much as these and they are the largest I've ever used.

We have our dog trained to use pads at home rather than "walk" the dog to do its business. I have tried many different types and sizes of pads. These are by far the best. They do not leak through to the floor, are very absorbent and are the right size in case the dog hits off center. These pads always show up quickly and in great condition. I buy 5 packages of 20 and this lasts about a month or 5 weeks. Great product and I highly recommend them.

These fit perfectly on the bottom of Midwest Ferret Nation large cages. The cover right up the cage edge, which is important with ferrets as they like to use the corners. Padding is thick, and the pad has enough weight that it stays in place better.

AKC GOLD HOUSEBREAKING AID 4 oz.

AKC GOLD HOUSEBREAKING AID 4 oz.Maybe this will work well for some dogs, but this didn't do a thing for my Bichon. She'd sniff where I put this product down, than walk away and pee somewhere else. I'd say instead buy some of the bells that hang from the door, they're called doggie doorbells. This was what saved us with potty training ultimately.
