Karen Pryor i-Click Dog Training Clicker
These clickers are the best because they are small and are not as harsh as larger ones. The larger ones are so loud that they scare my little 9-pound poodle, Dante. I know because I bought 3 of them at PetCo. So, if you ever need to buy a clicker, go for subtle over volume and a high-pitched sound as well. Too harsh for me and can scare your dog as well.
That being said, these little clickers (they are smaller than any others I have ever seen) are perfect in pitch as well as volume. I wasted a few dollars on the others and I hope that my own learning experience will help you to make a good decision the first time rather than the second or the third!
I begin training Dante with the clicker for any new behavior. Also, I have been able to reduce my use of the clicker with oral commands along with consistent body signals with my hand(s) or the position of my body relative to Dante. He's both fast as well as observant!
So, good luck . . .I like these clickers especially inside the house as they are a little quieter than some. (I also own a Starmark clicker which is too loud inside) I purchased the 5 pack and chose the quietest one for use inside. Along with it being quieter, outside it is still loud enough unless there is a lot of background noise such as high wind or a stadium competition, but it would have to be fairly noisy since a trained dog is anticipating the click command. You really don't need a super loud clicker under most training routines. If your dog isn't responding to the click, you may need to reevaluate your training rountine or the dogs current abilities. But clickers are cheap and I own several to give me the right sound level for each circumstance. These clickers are reliable, easy to click, and click everytime, they feel good in the hand too. They do everything that is written in the mfg's descrption and do it well. Oh and they are super cheap too, a great buy!!!!

Great for cold hands and gloves. The button is raised so that you can squeeze it by making a fist, so that clumsy gloves are ok. No exposed plastic means that it's ok outdoors in winter. It's muffled, but my dog hears much better than I do, so he does respond to it from a distance.Read Best Reviews of Karen Pryor i-Click Dog Training Clicker Here
These are really really great clickers.1. The sound this clicker makes is very nice on both human and canine ears.
2. The raised button makes clicking on time (an essential part of clicker training) very easy.
3. They last through water, sand (although clicking can get a little rough), dirt, and hard play.
Although these clickers are a bit more expensive than the box type I would definitely buy these over other ones. Clickers will undoubtedly be the least expensive piece of training equipment you purchase (even these ones). Also you will use this clicker for years (I've had mine for 4 years) and so it pays to get one you love. It might be possible that since you spent a few more dollars on this one you will be a little more careful with it and try not to lose it.I have used a few kinds of clickers and I love these. They are quiet, and 'soft' to click. I can click in public without being noticably strange. I can switch between these and louder box clickers without effect on the animal. I occasionally still use box clickers for long-distance work, but only when it's windy anymore. Plus these are glove friendly, and easy to find if dropped. I also find sensitive animals like them better. My animals do 'seek' the click, and can hear it from a long distance, I have not been using my box clicker much anymore, my horses and dogs both react to this clicker (after getting used to the quieter noise) from a long distance without a problem. Love them!!! And they are best bought in bulk, I give them away and stash them all over the house and in all my coat pockets.

Coastal Control Ease Training Dog Harness - Large
The harness fits her beautifully. The dog loves it so much that she sits and ducks her head into the loop when she sees me with it. I thought it would be hard to put on, but it isn't at all.
The leash is the perfect length for training and can be used in so many configurations. . .I like on hook on the top loop of the harness and the other hook onto the leash itself around my waist for hands free walking. . .but I also can hook it onto the front of the harness for no pull training.
Unfortunately our first one seemed to be defective and the plastic clip around the dog's belly broke on a particularly strong pull (she saw a squirrel) but the store took it back and exchanged it no problem. . .I hope this one holds up

It's also much more of a hassle to pull over her head than her other harness.

Wooden Bone Design Gate
Buy Wooden Bone Design Gate Now
Love the gate! Great for little dogs and medium size. Easy to move around in your house. Great price. Recommend this product.Gate is exactly as shown. Solidly made, heavy enough wouldn't fall over if someone brushed up against it and neither of my big dogs can easily push it with their noses (or at least they haven't figured it out yet). It's a bit shorter in length than I expected (should have gotten the measuring tape out first!)I ended up attaching to the wall on one side and a bookshelf on the other. It's being used to block the entrance to a stairway that is quite open, so there's nothing to back the gate up on either end. With the smaller dog it wouldn't necessarily be a problem, however with my two larger dogs, they could lean on it and knock it over. I would highly recommend this over some of the other gates similarly priced or even the cheaper ones that look okay but turn out to be rather flimsy.Monday, July 22, 2013
Carlson Extra Tall Metal Expandable Pet Gate
Great buy! I highly recommend it!!

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.Thursday, June 27, 2013
Herm Sprenger Prong Collar 14 inch Lightweight
So I started looking for a prong collar. I wasn't very optimistic, because if my dog doesn't mind choking herself on the leash, what's a few prongs in the neck after all? The Herm Sprenger collar came highly recommended so I ordered one for her. I put on the collar, leashed my dog up, and we set out. It was like I had a new dog. She started pulling like she usually does, but immediately stopped when the collar tightened. She gave a small yelp, but since then, she has stopped pulling completely. Our walks are so much more enjoyable.
The collar itself is well constructed. You have to undo one of the links to wrap get it around the dog's neck. After you do it a few times it gets easier, but it can be a little difficult if your dog is squirming around. But the design does allow you to expand the collar if your dog grows or you want to use it on another dog. It's a tradeoff. The collar tightens very fluidly when your dog pulls, which is nice to see. The collar seems very sturdy, and I don't have any fear of it breaking or coming apart on our walks.
Overall, this is the best item I have ever purchased for my dog. It's allowed us to go on more walks, and I don't have to dread taking her out on the leash. I'm hoping after a year of using this collar, I'll be able to stop using it, but we will see how that goes.

I ordered from the vendor "Happy Dog Place, Inc" with Amazon Prime delivery. Unfortunately this is not a legit Herm Sprenger prong. I own 3 genuine Herm Sprenger prongs, and needed one more as a backup. What I was sent was a cheap, poorly-made knockoff version. For starters, the prongs pull part too easily. You barely have to squeeze them to open the collar, and if this was fitted too loosely, it would likely fall right off a dog's neck. The prongs themselves are sharp...dangerously sharp. So sharp in fact, that this collar comes with black rubber covers that fit over the individual prongs. Unfortunately the covers are also cheap & poorly sized, and slip off very easily. I spent quite some time trying to find them all so I could return this shoddy knock-off. VERY disappointing, but then again I should have known by the price. If something looks to good to be true, it probably is. I should've read the reviews more closely before ordering, as I see I'm not the only one who had this experience.Read Best Reviews of Herm Sprenger Prong Collar 14 inch Lightweight Here
Immediate control without harm to my very spirited hunting dog. No pulling or sudden bursts of pulling. He accepts the collor without fuss when putting it on and taking it off. Very well made.Want Herm Sprenger Prong Collar 14 inch Lightweight Discount?
I purchased this and what I received was NOT a Herm Sprenger Prong collar. It was an inferior prong collar that has black plastic nubs on the tips (the tips are unfinished, rough, and not rounded) of the prongs and does not say Herm Sprenger anywhere on the collar. I purchased a second one a few weeks later and such a peculiar thing happened... I received an actual Herm Sprenger collar. So, please beware of this seller. You may not get what is described. Will not buy from again.Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Casual Canine Pastel Mesh Pet Harness - Blue
Buy Casual Canine Pastel Mesh Pet Harness - Blue Now
I ordered a similar harness a couple of years ago for my little Yorkie. It fit perfectly. In an attempt to purchase a replacement, I tried this product only to discover that it has a very wide neck section that, no matter what size I order, is just too wide and therefore rides too high on the neck of the animal. The chest adjustment is too small on the size small and too large on the size medium. My vet. assures me that the problem is not the dog! She couldn't get them to fit either!Read Best Reviews of Casual Canine Pastel Mesh Pet Harness - Blue Here
