PetSafe Deluxe Little-Dog Bark Control Collar, PBC00-10782

We have tried this collar and the Tri tronics bark collar for small dogs, and the Petsafe collar is smaller and seems to be more comfortable on our 3 small dogs. The other thing we like about the Petsafe collar is that it is self-adjusting, so if your dog barks once and the first mild shock doesn't correct the barking, it automatically increases the intensity of the shock. The intensity of the Tri tronics collar needs to be manually adjusted by you. Both are good products, but the Petsafe collar works better for us and our mini dachshunds & Papillion.

I have a boxer puppy and I am crate training her. Within a few weeks of use this device has taught her not to bark when she goes into her kennel while I'm at work. I bought this tool initially because I was concerned that her persistant barking would break the sanity for myself and the neighbors. It's a great tool when used correctly and consistently.

Yes, the fact that you have to buy a "special" battery for the device is ridiculous, but you can't deny that it stops the yapping. Make sure you place the device on your little yip-yip snug enough and in the right place as detailed in the directions. Also, be persistent with usage or the dog wont learn to be quiet. Initially, batteries lasted only about 2-3 weeks, but now I go over 3 months on one battery, if I even need to use the collar at all.

Great for helping the dog settle down when kennel training.

The advantage of some of the Innotek products is that some don't require any special battery, but be careful, some do require plugging in to a special charger station (batteries not replaceable in some units).

Purchased this collar for our bichon-poo, he is a little yippy at times. Collar worked fine for about a week, then he started barking again, replaced the battery that cost $10.00, I figured we had a defective battery. Same thing, worked for a week and then the barking started again. Not sure what the problem is, but it seems like the battery only lasts a short time, the dog is not barking when the collar is working so he is not what is causing the battery to run down. Will be returning collar to place of purchase (not amazon) and will buy a different brand, such as Innotek. E-mailed Petsafe without any response.

In May 2009 I purchased this bark control collar for my little dog with a big bark. She's 5lbs and none of the other bark collars would work for her weight, so I opted for a trusted brand and collar that fit the exact description of my dog and her issues. (ie. Little dog, big bark.)

I was so excited to have finally made a decision (I thoroughly research before buying items such as this) and waited impatiently for it to arrive. I purchased this collar online from a third party, and it came shortly after purchase. I thought it was EXACTLY what we needed.

Although the idea is perfect for a little dog, sadly, the shape and firmness of the collar prevented it from connecting in the ideal spot for correction (ie. shock). No matter how tight or loose I made the collar, it simply would not stay in the correct place. Instead, it continuously turned to the side of her neck where it did not work as intended. I kept trying to fix it and put it back where it was meant to be, but it would not stay.

I ended up frustrated that this collar would not work as it was advertised. Therefore, on May 8th, 2009, I contacted PetSafe to explain my discouragement for their product. Unfortunately, I was unable to find my original receipt (although I did still have the package), thus, PetSafe would not stand behind their product and accept an exchange for a collar that 'might' work better.

My husband and I live on quite a tight budget and I was unable to purchase a new bark collar for my little dog. I had already bought a collar from a trusted manufacturer that was made especially for the little dog (which it says on the packaging). I didn't want to sell the collar to some other unsuspecting dog owner, it did not work as it was intended. I would NOT put someone else through the discouragement that I went through after purchasing this collar. So I kept it, on my counter, in the package, for months.

My little dog still had the bark issue, I had a collar that didn't work as it was advertised to, and I was out too many dollars and unable to purchase a new bark collar. Out of desperation, I decided, 'Well, if they won't return it, and PetSafe won't stand behind their faulty product, what else can I do?'

Looking at the collar I noticed that there was a tiny space between the plastic of the collar and the 'correction device'. I purchased a new plain dog collar, cut it to length, cut off the hard plastic strap of the PetSafe bark collar, and shoved the new nylon collar into the space between the plastic collar and the 'correction device'. I sewed that side of the new collar onto the 'correction device' then proceeded to do the same to the other side. To hold it onto my little dog's neck I sewed on two snaps then it was done. It may not look as pretty as it could, but it fit perfectly and the 'correction device' was in the right spot to correct the barking problem.

Today, February 2nd, 2010, for the first time since I purchased this collar, it shocked my little dog and I'm on my way to correcting the little dog with the big barking issue.

I bought this collar for my small dog, she's only 6 lbs, the collar is so unflexible because its all plastic the anti bark prongs end up on the back of her neck everytime she shakes her head. I cant make it any tighter or she would for sure stop barking, as well as breathing...so I'm out 70 bucks and I still have a non stop barking dog.

Petmate Deluxe Vari Kennel Jr

Many of the Pet supply stores have reviews on this product, and I can confirm that this newer series seems made of much thinner plastic. They look nice, but simply don't carry weight very well. This one was purchased for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a 20 pound dog. If you carry it with the handle and the dog in the crate, it will flex to the point where I fear the door will fly open. I really wish they would stop cutting costs and make these from thicker material again. It would be well worth another $10 to protect a pet you love and don't want hurt.

These used to be nice and all I would purchase for my puppies. I am a breeder and crate train my puppies and used these crates for shipping (if needed) The last Petmate crate I purchased, I assembled, got it labeled and all ready to ship a puppy and the handle busted off. Thank God it happened here at home and I had time to purchase another brand. Save your money and get something else.

I ordered this after trying to find a crate that was taller and shorter for my toy poodle. He has a long neck and we are going overseas. He needs a taller kennel, not a longer kennel. In any case, that product doesn't exist so I finally gave up and ordered this kennel.

There is no carry handle attached to this kennel at all. I realize this is a product defect and that I can contact Amazon and return the kennel. However, that leaves me out in the air without a kennel to use when we fly as there isn't enough time now to reorder another kennel.

This attests to the inferior workmanship of the Petmate kennels. They used to be wonderful crates when the company was Doskocil. They also had a great little 16 inch tall kennel that worked great for toy poodles. The material wasn't as thin and the workmanship was much better.

I won't be ordering another Petmate kennel.

This product is SO markedly different from the couple-years-old Vari Kennel Jr. we already own which is fantastic and motivated me to purchase another one that it is difficult to believe they are the same brand. Our first Vari Kennel Jr. is made of rigid plastic that does not flex and has a sturdy handle. It is a quality carrier that we feel confident would keep our cat safe.

In contrast, the Vari Kennel we just received is flimsy, flexes easily and I could break the handle off if I gave it a hearty twist. In NO way would I feel comfortable putting a beloved pet in there and I would be foolish to believe it would protect her.

If you are a responsible pet owner that loves your animal, look elsewhere.

Worked great. Bought this for a friend with a standard poodle. Small enough to keep the dog from defecating in it and big enough it can turn around. Light weight and easy to transport or store.

Aetertek AT-218S Extra Strong Remote Dog Training Shock Collar with anti bark feature

This remote works very well on our Great Dane, the only two things that I do not like are the confusing lighting system that tells you when the product is on or off and the actual collar that was sent with the product. We used an existing collar that we had lying around and put the shocker on it because the one they send it literally over two feet long and there is no where to stuff or tie the excess that hangs once the collar is on the dog. Overall this product works great and I would recommend it, especially for the price. We have had no issues with the remote or collar and even tested it in the lake several times and its waterproof feature works well.

I've used quite a few different training collars, and I have to say that this is the worst one I've used.

It works and does as it says, but it's fairly low quality and the fact that the remote turns off after about 2 minutes of non-use is seriously, SERIOUSLY, annoying. I can't seem to figure out how to disable this, as the instructions are pretty poorly written.

I wouldn't recommend this to others.. there are more out there that are just slightly more expensive that are far higher quality than this one.

My girl responded beautifully to the collar. Curbed her barking at the park that was getting all the dogs riled up and her return response is So greatly improved! Love that it has multiple options for sound, vibrate and static. Rarely had to use the static. She did however happen to have a reaction to the prongs, as can happen with some dogs. (She is French Bulldog/Pit Bull) She healed quickly and now we just put a bandana under the receiver. Don't know if it interferes with the static but it doesn't matter because she responds to the tone now. THIS RECEIVER IS WATERPROOF, SUBMERSIBLE, ABLE TO GO SWIMMING WITH! So so many say they are and just aren't. I think it was a great buy. It was well worth the money and I recommend them wholeheartedly!

This thing sucks. I tried it on my finger. At level 1 I couldn't feel it. At level 2 I couldn't keep it in my hand. I used the tester and found out that the "nick" feature lasted about 2 seconds. It should only last a fraction of a second. When I used the continuous feature it had about a 2 second delay before it started. This makes it useless as a training tool. Do some research on how to use these before you buy one. The directions were not written by someone that spoke English. This made it very hard to figure out how to use a poorly designed interface.

I try to be very environmentally conscious so these pads really appealed to me. It was a great quantity at a relatively good price. There is only one little problem ... they are very absorbent but there is always moisture under the pad. I don't know if that is standard ... I use the pads at night and change them each morning so they are not used more than once ... I put newspapers under the pads to absorb the moisture

These pads work great for my dog. Really like that these are eco-friendly too reducing landfill waste. I purchase in bundle to save money and not worry about running out.

Hallmark™ Acme Thunder Dog Whistle Black

I bought this unit because I didn't want it to sound like a police or referee's high-pitched (shrill) whistle in the setting I was going to use it. And, as long as you don't blow extra hard, you defintely get a lower tone as compared to other units (as it says in the description). And it's loud even if you blow gently.

GERMAN SHEPHERD DVD: + Dog & Puppy Training Bonus

Not worth the money. The only German Shepherd part is the picture on the cover! the DVD only talks about the history of the German Shepherd then goes into a generic training video. Title is misleading and not worth the price. The video is very short and they have included some total garbage about a playdate which is nothing more than a couple of dogs being video taped. I feel I have been duped!

This starts out with a lady who is in such a big hurry fast talker and tells you little to nothing about training, at the end there is a bonus about some training but that's it hardly worth a dollar watch dog whisper your dog will thank you. PS the dogs running around at the end what a joke don't let the joke be on you my friend cause I told you so.

The basic obedience worked good with our puppy too.

Zack & Zoey Nylon Brite Stripe Dog Collar, 11 to 14-Inch, Raspberry

This is a very pretty collar and does not look like something you got at a run-of-the-mill pet store. It is well-made and seems comfortable on my dog.

This collar is very pretty and my dog looks very cute in it. Just make sure you get the right size: I measured my dog's neckline and it was about 10 in so I ordered the 8-11 in size and it was too small, would not fit at all. The 11-14 in is perfect, though. she looks adorable in it.

Ruffmaxx Camouflage Pet Kennel, 36-Inch 30 to 70-Pound

We had the PetMate Vari Kennel for our Golden Retriever Mix Puppy who is approximately 20 pounds but growing very rapidly. His current Kennel was just too small.

We ordered this since the description says 30-70 lbs. The product itself looks great its just larger I anticipated. The box actually says ideal weight 50-70 lbs. But I still think it's perfect since he has doubled his weight and size in the past month.

The color looks great in our home and I think that this will last him a good long while.

The product is good construction (plastic) and is put together with those screws and fasteners. Extras are included which is definitely handy.

The price here was very competitive, couldn't beat it at my local pet store.

My only complaint is that there is no handle what would have been handy. Will update again after a couple of nights of use.

I'll also upload a photo.

High Tech Pet Hush Puppy Sonic Bark Control Collar

I purchased the High Tech Pet Hush Puppy Sonic Bark Control Collar before Christmas. I have a little dog that was removed from a hoarder situation and once I adopted him and he became acclimated to his new surroundings with me began barking NON-STOP. He barked at absolutely everything...cars driving by, other dogs barking, people walking by, the wind, my wind chimes...well, you get the picture. I was totally skeptical that this product would stop his barking as when he barked he seemed to work himself into a frenzy and his barks would become louder and louder. One of my neighbors complained to me about this so I thought I'd better try to find a solution. I figured the Hush Puppy collar would just make him bark at it. But I was wrong. He only wore it a few times and as soon as he barked and was corrected by the high pitch sound he stopped barking immediately. I don't think the collar's had to increase sound output. He's to the point now that all I have to do is show him the collar and he shuts up immediately. Awesome product!!!

Finally a collar that worked. Very easy to use and we've had great results. We had tried a few different brands and they either were too loud and just scared our dog or so ineffective that he barked right through it. This one seems to actually help as a trainer.

I have a very determined barker. Another sonic device had worked on him previously so I thought this collar might help control his barking while outside, but no. Anything that's too exciting (squirrel, dog on other side of fence, etc) overrides the collar.

Premier Gentle Leader Quick Release Headcollar, Large, Raspberry

I LOVE this collar. I recently adopted a lab mix (we think she may also be boxer, or pointer?) from the pound who is just under a year old and pulls A LOT on walks with both a normal collar and a harness. I was worried about taking her on walks because she would be choking herself the whole time and would be gasping for air. Anyway, after ordering this for her I took her on a walk and was super impressed with the results. When i first put it on I was concerned with how tight it is supposed to be, I felt like it was trying to strangle her but she didnt seem to mind too much. Once we started walking was when she noticed it was on her, after about 3 minutes of her trying to get out of the headcollar she began walking normal with no pull and no choking/gasping for air. I thought that was pretty impressive. She also tried to bark at another dog and while this headcollar didn't discourage her necessarily, it did muffle the sound immensely. I'm super happy that I can take her on walks with my other dog more often now.

These really work if they are fitted properly and locked down tight with the adjustable clamps. But that fit is difficult to do with wriggling dogs.

Rogz Grinz Treat Ball Dog Toy, Medium Lime

First, I have a champion chewer who can shred anything to pieces in minutes. This ball has survived, so super extra points there. Second, she's a Lab and loves to play fetch and this ball works perfectly. But best of all is when she's walking around with it in her mouth, it's absolutely hysterical making it fun for owner and pet.

My dogs are very hard on toys and have ripped apart every toy I have bought them (even the ones labeled as durable and unbreakable). They also have a tendency to destroy tennis balls in a matter of seconds. These have held up better than I was expecting and the hole in the back allows for treats that keep them entertained for hours; Not to mention, I get a good laugh watching them chew on these.
