Dog Collar with Orange LED Lights, Multi-Function, Medium

Dog Collar with Orange LED Lights, Multi-Function, MediumWe have a black dog who is really hard to see at night. This collar is so bright, you can see him on the darkest of nights. I feel better knowing cars will be able to see him and slow down in plenty of time.

I ordered the orange collar, and was pleasantly surprised with how well it lights our way when we walk in the dark. I have a Westie and he glows orange around his head when we walk--which seems to distract the neighbors a little, but it's worth it. The collar also lights up the snow around us when we walk. We are definitely noticed in the dark when crossing the street--we get a lot of stares--and that's the point. The lights have three "on" modes: on without movement, rapid flashing, and slower flashing.

One thing that I had to figure out on my own, since it was not explained in the description or any directions, was that you can adjust the collar over the bulbs. The clip is loose enough to do that. My dog is smaller and at first I thought that the collar was too large for him despite me having measured his neck to order the appropriate size. It really is adjustable. Just try to position the clip between bulbs.

My dog is solid black & while taking a trip to the mountains where there are no street lights, I decided to purchase this collar. I worked great. Without it, we wouldn't have known where he was! It has 2 flashing modes which we didn't use, just the solid orange glow kept us aware of his location in the dark. Perfect.

We love this collar. Our dog is all black, so at night we can't see him.

The light has multiple settings, from flashing to solid lights. We really like it!

Great collar to own. Very bright at night and not too bulky. Also seems well made and will not fall apart in a short period of time. Medium size seemed to be the correct size for a Norwich Terrier that wears it.

ProGuard Sure-Fit Dog Muzzle ~Size 1~

ProGuard Sure-Fit Dog Muzzle ~Size 1~We tried 3 other muzzles and our little Poodle could take them off in seconds.

This muzzle stays on and looks to be more comfortable for the dog.

It is a mesh, so you can bathe your dog with it on, in case you need that.

This size fits our 10lb Poodle.

This muzzle just works.

There was no way this was going to work on my 6 pound pomeranian. It was WAY too long for his muzzle, as well as WAY too big. It went all the way over his eyes. Do not purchase this for a toy dog.

This product may work for some dogs but not for mine I bought the smallest size it was still to big ( he has a long skinny nose). I bought a bark collar and that works.

GoodPets Dog Fence System for 1 dog

GoodPets Dog Fence System for 1 dogI have a very large and stubborn giant schnauzer 8 month old puppy (who weighs about 90 pounds) and this product works great! I was worried the stimulus wouldn't be strong enough to divert him but it worked great. Once he hears the beeps he stops and turns around. We have him in the back yard but were so frustrated with him because he wouldn't stay off of the porch and leave my furniture alone....enter the wireless pet fence, problem solved. We ran this fence around our patio as instructed and it works like a charm. He went from devil dog to angel at the flick of a switch. Now our evenings on the porch are very enjoyable! Only advice is to read the instructions first and be very careful with the thin wire when stringing it. Don't crimp it or else it will cause a lot of heart ache, once buried however the thin wire is not a concern at all.

Update to review after several days of use: it would be well worth your money to spend an extra $40 and make sure you get a rechargeable collar. the batteries cost $4 to $20 each on this collar, are not rechargeable and they do not make a rechargeable 6volt battery. The batteries go dead in about 3 days and then your dog will be right back to his antics unless you spend a small fortune on a stockpile of batteries.

I would not recommend anyone buying this product. We bought one, hooked it up and the transmitter did not work. WE had to pay an addition 16 dollars that we were told it 'was not company policy' just to return the first bad system. We waited a few more weeks, received a new system which also does NOT WORK. The transmitter is also faulty on the second one. So now we are out our original cost of 70 dollars plus the additional 16 we spent trying to get a system that actually worked. O and dont forget the little fact that the name of the system is "Wireless Fence System". Guess what? Its not WIRELESS. You have to run wire just to find out it doesnt work. Do not waste your money.

wasn't easy to install wire in ground. didn't work well for our dog we had. more for smaller breeds. not recommened for large breed dogs.

The collar was very effective but about a week or two later the battery died so we're still trying to find a replacement in the mean time the dog wanders around doing whatever she pleases.

Pet Buddies PB1716 Googlie Ricky Rabbit Medium ToyI've bought a few of these Googlie toys now and my dog, Frank, LOVES them! I'm not sure if it's the squeaking or the texture of the toy, but he absolutely loves these toys!

I'm not sure how long this toy is going to last, but given how much Frank loves it, I don't care!

Innotek Basic Remote Trainer

Innotek Basic Remote TrainerMy collar stopped working after 3 months. Innotek doesn't honor their warranty unless you buy from an authorized dealer (which doesn't include Amazon).

The reviews so far have mostly complained about Amazon's lack of support for this product, but they have not touched up on the product itself. How did it function? How did it work until one reviewer said it "Stopped Working", which then followed the rant about about how Amazon is not considered an authorized dealer. So my attempt is to give you a very basic idea about the product that I have used for the last 6 months or so.

I have found the product to work very well. I bought a second one from Amazon because the first one I dropped the remote and the way it landed jarred something in the remote and caused it to stop working. I contacted the company and let them know after purchasing it through Amazon (I should have probably waited) because they sent me a new remote free of charge. Customer service was very good with the Innotek Company. Even though I did not have a receipt I was able to prove date of purchase and model number and they looked up receipt and took care of everything else. I got off subject about the company, for that I am sorry and will get back to how the product worked.

It has been a wonderful product. I have read the dog whisper's book as well as watched his leadership series and have followed his advise pretty well. One thing Cesear mentions is to, "Have a device that makes you feel empowered, but doesn't hurt the dog". I believe this device does just that. With the different settings you can change the level of shock and for emergencies there is a boost feature on the remote. My dog used to attack anything on 4 legs without fail. Used to pull me on a chain. After a combination of Cesear Milan and this remote I have seen a 180 degree difference in dealing with my dog. Every morning I put this remote on him and go for a daily jog around the neighborhood and am not fearful of other dogs or cats causing my dog to lash out (even a horse one time). This is also without a leash, I am using nothing but this shock collar. Mostly a voice command will do the trick to snap him out of it if he seems to be getting really curious about the other animal, but sometimes I do have to hit the button on the remote and then I have my dogs attention right away. I have not needed to use the boost ever, but it is still there just in case. My dog doesn't need a leash now due to this device and since I am consistent with discipline and using this leash every morning for so long, I have have began to make progress to not use it. I have been gradually not using the shock collar and he has still been performing well, probably because he thinks I still have the remote. :)

So far so good is the bottom line. This device has served my purpose and has served it well. It does make me feel more empowered when it is on him and the setting I have is pretty low. The dog is pretty big, so you don't need to put it on the highest setting. If I remember I have it on setting 3. The dog is an American Bulldog/ Beagle mix and weighs roughly 85 lbs. Hopefully this review helps you.

P.S. I do not think it is inhumane to use it. I tried it on myself just to see how bad of a shock it was. I didn't think it was all that bad. I didn't like it :) but as long as the dog behaves he has nothing to worry about. It is like a virtual spanking is all.

I tried two of the electric collars. The electric stimulation wouldn't work at all with the first collar; the electric stimulation worked for a day with the second. Luckily I could return both with no hassle. Don't waste your time ordering this product!

Worst money I've spent in a long time! The collar is TOTALLY ineffective in dog training. Range is very limited. The collar is not conducive in keeping the terminals against the dogs skin and the collar just flops around.

Perhaps an elastic collar would be better. This way the collar would keep constant tension and keep the terminals against the dog. The way it is though the collar is worthless.

I highly do NOT recommend this product.

PetSafe Indoor Radio Fence

PetSafe Indoor Radio FenceWell I was afraid of getting this, I purchased this for my indoor cat, who developed a bad habit of taking a dump in the sink when nobody is around to stop him. I tried all sorts of deterrents before deciding on this (because I was against shock collars). Here are the methods I tried.

#1. Tattle Tale: worked well but was VERY annoying. Any visitors would bump into it and set it off and it was very loud.

#2. Ssscat: Worked well but only if you remembered to turn it on, we constantly turned it on and off between using the sink for our own purposes and it does release an initial bust of air for no reason which scared our cats because they thought they were doing something bad. Our cat quickly learned to identify this item so we had to camouflage it and hide it inside random counter items so he wouldn't just recognize it, and somehow even if he did recognize it he still went ahead and took the change because sometimes somebody would forget to turn it on and so he would get away with his business.

Now finally we have this item. Before purchasing I did as much research as I could for this item, something not too strong and with a small radius for shocking so it could be reserved for just the area that is off limits. So I decided on this item.

Upon arrival I tried it on myself to ensure that ths was not going to be too painful. It continuously gives you a mild shock (about as strong as carpet shock or a sweater static shock you would normally get) I set it to the smallest shock radius (2 feet diameter, 1 ft radius) and placed it on my cat.

I am pretty confident that it has been working. It has now been over a month and he has not used the sink for relief (he used to go maybe 1 x week)

If I had a large dog I would probably rate this 5 stars and I know it wasn't designed for small dogs and cats but that is the reason I gave it a 4 star.

I cut the collar small enough to fit my cat, but the strap is not tight enough and after two days my cat was able to scratch it off himself so I had to replace the strap with a 3/4" double sided velcro collar and that one holds on well. It even looks much better than the original blue collar as well.

I will update this in the future if my cat decides he doesn't agree with this review :)

I used this on my cat so he wouldn't go into my roommate's bedroom. If you're worried about the shock, don't be. I shocked myself and it just feels like a strong static shock you get on dry days, nothing more.

There's a warning tone at a certain distance, and then a shock at a closer distance, which leads me to my two complaints.

1) Warning and shock should be able to be set separately. Instead, they're linked as one setting. So if you increase one, the other increases also, with the warning maybe 2-3 feet out from the shock radius. In my case, this lead to a situation where my cat couldn't even go in the kitchen down the hall from the bedroom. No, you cannot turn the warning tone off.

2) Maybe certain animals are different, but my cat quickly learned the radius for both the shock and the warning. So, because he's a cat, what he would do is stand inside the warning radius...and not move. BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP. It's not super loud but it's loud enough to be very obnoxious to anyone in a somewhat quiet house.

I own a SportDog (SDF100A) underground fence and the remote collar IS compatible with the PetSafe (PIRF-100) Indoor Fence Transmitter.

I have been doing a lot of research on different underground fences and although the concept of the Innotek/Petsafe Contain and Train system sounds like a winner and is compatible with the PetSafe Indoor Fence Transmitter, reading all the bad reviews on the contain & train remote trainer and on the collar's battery life turned me away from the Innotek/Petsafe product. This was a really tough decision as the main reason for me needing this system was not only to keep my puppy safe outside but the capability to use the PetSafe indoor containment areas to keep him safe inside the house.

As my search continued (SportDog vs. Dogtra) I was disappointed that neither one of them have advertised an indoor containment option. After considerable research I ended up finding out that the SportDog (SDF100A) Underground Fence IS compatible with the PetSafe (PIRF-100) Indoor Fence Transmitter.

Well I have been using the system for the last few weeks and all is working great! My puppy no longer goes into the kitchen and the best thing is, I only have the collar set to tone and vibrate. So far this has been the best purchase!

I will try and remember to provide a product update in a year or so to say how it's going.

UPDATE: 1 YEAR LATER

Okay folks. So it's been about a year now and my indoor fence transmitter is working as good as the first day I bought it. I was originally concerned about the reliability as there have been other's that have reviewed it that have ran into problems. I am not to sure what they did to theirs, however, mine is working like a champ.

When we bought our first indoor system we so pleased with it that we bought two more. Over time the disks seemed to fade in power. I called PetSafe and they told me it wasn't possible. Now, we have three disks that power on, but give off no signal. Since they are covered under a lifetime warranty, PetSafe is willing to replace them...for $40 each. This is suppose to cover the cost of the repairs. These do work great if you only need them for a very short time, but for the cost, I expected more. We also have the outdoor system, and with five dogs, we've gone through a LOT of collars over the years. PetSafe really needs to make a more durable collar. They are good about replacing the collars when they are shot (They usually don't survive a battery change,) but their exchange charges are unreasonable.

Works like a charm to keep my two pomeranians out of the living room. Just plugged it in, and put their collars on. It didn't take but a couple of times of getting buzzed and they don't step toe on the carpet. It seems to be important to find the right distance off the ground to place the receiver. Too high and they can slip in under the signal. Too low and they can run in, jump up on the chair and get above it. Overall, I am quite pleased.

Go-Doggy-Go Dog Potty

Go-Doggy-Go Dog PottyI had a lot of questions and emailed the owner who was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I ordered it and received it very quickly. My dog still refuses to use it unless I put potty pads on it for her. But I am sure in time I can get her to use it with out them since she does love the grass when she is outside.

Baskerville 6-Inch Rubber Ultra Muzzle, Size-2, Black

Baskerville 6-Inch Rubber Ultra Muzzle, Size-2, BlackI recently ordered the size 3 muzzle for my dog who is 33 lbs. The thing was HUGE on her. I then ordered the size 2 for her, and it fit great and works great. She doesn't seem to mind it too much. The product works great, but the sizing is SO off.

I own Asheville Dog Rehabilitation and work with aggressive dogs and their owners on a regular basis and these are my muzzles of choice. I haven't found a muzzle that's better for the work I do. Highly recommended. They sell them at Petco as well, which is handy if you need one immediately or are unsure of the size you need, but they are usually half the price here on Amazon.

My 16 pound mixed breed is a good guy, but barks at everyone and everything, training has worked for all activities except barking so I wanted something friendly. This muzzle is soft but firm, he can drink and take light small treats through the openings and best of all he can not get it off.

Great product!! I used this during the day while at work on my < 2yr old whippet to prevent her from eating shoes, wooden furniture legs, you name it. She had no issues putting this on each morning before I left. It's great because she can still drink and it has a soft velvet like liner so doesn't cause any skin issues. I recently forgot to muzzle her before leaving while in a rush and came home to nothing chewed. I decided to trial her without it for the next few days and she is no longer chewing! Awesome!!

Great muzzle! You must make sure that your measurements are accurate or the muzzle will be blocking their vision. Although the muzzle is durable and useful, my dog hates anything on his face. He has rubbed all the hair off around his eyes and they were very swollen. I don't use it anymore, but I do have it just in case the need arises. They are much better than the cloth muzzles because it allows your dog to drink and pant if they want to. Dogs need to pant to regulate their body temperature. This muzzle allows that, where others do not.
