Buy Steel Coated Dog Collar in Red Now
Ineeded a 20 inch collar less heavy duty than this one, I have a dog with a big head but is dainty. My fault when I ordered this.This is an excellent product. My puppy chews through leather and nylon, so these are perfect. Great price. Love that they come in many sizes, and the different colors are fun.I initially ordered this one size smaller and the quality was great. Reordered 1 size larger and a total of 5 of this type in different sizes and colors. Paint quality was not great. On 3 of them the paint must not have dried before they put it in the plastic hangers, as those three had very sharp paint edges sticking up. The colors are all beautiful (I ordered electric blue, candy apple red, bubble gum pink, purple, and lime green.) What a shame there isn't better quality control on this product. Incidently, as the length goes up; the the links are larger and much heavier. The 20 inch collar I bought is actually quite heavy a little too heavy, I think, for the gentler breeds.

Luckily, we were right. This is maybe an inch or two longer than it could be, but it's still great. We just use a very short leash and the dogs are comfortably at our side. They're still able to use the bathroom and walk without bumping into each other. Unless you have huge dogs or small dogs (

Pawz Away Pet Training Mat
I like the concept of the scat mat, and I liked the Pawz Away in particular because it was battery operated so I didn't have to mess around with a power cord. These are powered by a 9 volt battery.
I have a pair of old Shih-Tzu's who are adorable, housebroken and very sweet, but I don't like them going into the living room and dining room, and they think they're entitled to be in there.
I have two doorways into these areas and got one Pawz Away for each. I know they worked because I shocked the heck out of myself a couple of times while hooking the battery compartment to the mat they snap on. My wife also got a shock when she walked on them a couple of times after forgetting they were there. That's another feature of the mats that I really liked they just sort of blend in to the floor and it's easy to forget they are there.
However, for whatever reason my dogs never set them off and got the "correction". I personally watched each dog stroll casually across each mat a number of times without a care in the world. When I returned them to Petsmart the dog trainer there said maybe my dogs just didn't really feel the shock (it's like a strong static electricity shock).
I know that wasn't the case because I had each device set to also beep when it activated. And the only beep I ever heard was when I ended up shocking myself.
Anyway, I don't know if my dogs were too light to set the things off, or they're poorly designed or what the problem was, but after five days of frustration I returned them.
Maybe you'll have better luck and maybe they work better with larger dogs. But they didn't work for me.Before I bought this product, I read both the good and negative reviews. I thought that it might actually work, with people complaining that PETA should get this product banned. If someone thinks that it puts out a static shock so horrible that it should be banned, than it must be good! Wrong... My dogs walked all over it like they were on a Sunday afternoon stroll. I thought that it must not be working, so I held their feet to the fire, and placed them down on the static discharge wires imbedded in the mat. I received a dirty look from my dog, which interpreted means " Just what do you think you are trying to accomplish by this stupidity?" I then decided that I would sacrifice myself and test it with my hand. I was prepared for the worst and received the least. I almost had to imagine receiving a shock. I thought that maybe the battery was dead, so I gave it the old trusty 9 volt battery tongue test. Yikes, it was fully alive. In the end, I decided that I had received worse punishment from the static off the living room carpet. Save your money and frustration by staying away from this product.

I LOVE this mat because it does exactly what we need it to do...when it works. I had read the reviews of others and they said things like "it beeps every now and then, it stops working randomly, doesn't last..." etc. I bought it anyway because I was desperate.Like I said, the mat works great, when it works. The other reason I purchased it was because of the warranty...LIFETIME! I cannot say enough about the company and their return policy because when I had to return one of the mats, they did it without ANY hassle...AND, they gave me a pre-paid shipping label, so it didn't cost me a thing!! However, you must purchase the mat from an APPROVED DEALER. This is VERY important or else they won't honor the guarantee. Make sure you check the manufactures website for the list of online approved dealers. If you don't, they won't return the mat.I have purchased two Pawz Away mats to use with my cats. I have plants in different locations in the house. The cats would either nibble on the leaves or scratch around in the dirt! I placed the mats in front of the plants and the cats immediatly learned to stay away!I'm a vet student with 6 cats, and this works well to keep them away from a section of the wall which was being used as a bathroom. I'm ordering 2 more right now. I have large cats, don't know if that makes a difference... Would be 5 stars if it was a little less expensive.

Lambert Kay Boundary Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent Pump Spray, 22-Ounce
While my research does ease my fears on the safety of the product, I think it's best that each consumer make the decision of whether to use the product based on their cat's personality. My cat will try to taste and eat things when he doesn't recognize them, and nips faces and hands as signs of affection. Based on that, boundary is too much of a risk for me.
For those with cat's similar to mine, purchasing the organic sprays as an alternative is not recommended while they don't have a sent, they don't really work. My cat will avoid when area is damp, but walk over it once it's dried. So now we have a scratch board with catnip, that he loves, double sided tape, that he tries to eat but does keep him from scratching, we clip his claws regularly, and we purchased a large accent rug that we encourage him to scratch with treats and positive reinforcement.
The chemical used in Boundary has been around since 1966 and it hasn't not caused serious harm to pets, but follow your gut if you know your cat is persistent and curious.

This worked great,the first 2 days,after that forget it.I paid too much for the results I got!I have 3 kittens,they all scattered the first day,I sprayed it on my sofa and chair.{I used it on the furniture each morning)The 3rd day,I caught them scratching the furniture as soon as the spray dried!I re-sprayed again,they sat right there and watched me!This time I sprayed so much,even my eyes were affected!The furniture was saturated!
After 1 1/2hrs passed,the kittens were right back to scratching!I found a rolled newspaper slapped on my palm and a sharp "No!" is working better.I gave it a 2 star,only because it worked for 2 days.That is hardly enough to recommend this product.Maybe,if you had 1 kitten that was sensitive to the spray.Not mine!

I bought this to deter strays from bugging my cat at the window. I live in a basement apartment so strays outside are at eye level with my cat when he perches at the window. It drives my cat nuts. I tried powders, crystals...this spray seemed to work. You have to keep applying it. It wears off after a few days. BUT I sprayed it on the corners of my couches to try and prevent my cat from scratching and it had no effect whatsoever.Want Lambert Kay Boundary Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent Pump Spray, 22-Ounce Discount?
This spray works fairly well for a week or so, but then our cats will go right back to the treated area with little hesitation. This helps in the short-term, but is not a miracle fix. Also, I could smell the product for a while even though it is supposed to only be noticeable by pets. It's not the worst smell ever, but it is not pleasant either. ...kind of musty, weird odor.Saturday, December 7, 2013
Petmate Home-Training Wire Dog Kennel
When we rescued a third, we needed to get another crate but the Midwest wasn't available so we opted for this crate. At the time, our rescue, despite being "full-grown" was only about 45 pounds and yet, he was able to get the crate to collapse on him and "escape" on two separate occasions. Not only was this sub-optimal from a safety standpoint (at least he only "escaped" within the confines of the house and we didn't have him outside in this thing), if we wanted him to be able to go "free-range" throughout the house, we wouldn't have bothered with the crate in the first place.
We have since "reinforced" the crate with those plastic 4" Plastic Cable Zip Ties 100-Pack (Black) which at least keeps the crate together (though it no longer is "portable" since we can't collapse it) and it works ok -even though Scooter has since put on 25 pounds and is in the 70-pound range right there with his "brothers".
Overall, it is doing the job -however for the price, the quality just isn't as solid as the Midwest crate and we won't be buying another one.

Quick, easy assembly...and the grow feature is invaluable for crate training a puppy. However, having previously raised a large breed, I don't think this product would hold up to as it is not terribly beefy. Get out a tape measure to calculate what size you'll need. Don't depend on the size descriptions as they vary from brand to brand. This one is quite size appropriate for our dog who will top out around 50 pounds.Read Best Reviews of Petmate Home-Training Wire Dog Kennel Here
This is my second Petmate crate. I graduated my pup up a size as she is crated when we're not home and at night. She has plenty of room (she's 2 so no house training issues anymore) and I cut a foam mat for the bottom to make it cushy. HIGHLY recommend this brand very sturdy and folds flat for easy transporting when traveling.This item is just what I wanted: a fairly lightweight but sturdy extra kennel that I can easily load into my SUV for when I travel with my Border Collie. I purchased this item with my "bonus dollars" from Amazon, plus there was an offer for free shipping as well, so it was an extra-great-deal for me. The kennel is easy to fold-down for out-of-the-way under-bed-storage, and easily re-assembles in minutes. Just right; and cheaper than the options I saw at PetSmart, PetCo, and WalMart, especially when you factor in the sales tax to add to the total price.Wednesday, October 23, 2013

Carlson Extra Tall Metal Expandable Pet Gate
Great buy! I highly recommend it!!
Buy Carlson Extra Tall Metal Expandable Pet Gate Now
I was very happy with this (though I should have gotten a walk-through for my purposes). However, today I watched my almost 40 lb dog crawl through the cat door. I don't feel like a stout dog, whose head is even with the top of an extra-tall gate, should fit through a "small pet" door. If your dog is over 60 lbs I'm sure you're safe.Read Best Reviews of Carlson Extra Tall Metal Expandable Pet Gate Here
I would highly recommend this product especially if you have a dog that likes to jump. My chihuahua mix was able to climb over the shorter version of this gate so I had to try something else. So easy to use.Will recommend to pet owners. Not necessary to dismantle to remove. Stores easily. Dog does not try chew or knock down.Saturday, June 15, 2013
Rapid Rewards Deluxe Dog Training Bag with Belt by Doggone Good!
This one is by far the best. I can fit enough treats in the main compartment to last a few sessions with heavy positive reinforcement.
The big advantage for me is the magnetic close feature. I was skeptical at first, but I can load almost a pound of semi moist training food in there, up to the top, and it still closes properly. The bag has a strong close, but is easy to open, even with gloves in the winter as I have tested. The mouth of the bag is shaped like a wedge, not round, so it closes right and keeps nosy noses out.
This bag not only has a roomy main compartment, but another closeable compartment within (closest to your waist). It has all the bells and whistles. This bag has several different compartments, more than I use. Room for keys and ID, possibly a phone.
The bag dispenser opening is small enough to let you pull the bags through comfortably and dispense bags. My bags are on the tougher side so I still need to use two hands to break them apart. Easy to load, just put the roll in and pull the loose end through definitely that easy.
The belt clip is strong enough to keep the bag upright when clipped to an actual belt. If you load it up, it may be too heavy if you are wearing work out or yoga pants. They also include a belt. Easy to attach, my girlfriend uses it over her long winter puffy coat.
If I lost this today, I would overnight one tomorrow that's how much I love this product.
