Cesar Millan Medium Black Illusion Collar

Cesar Millan Medium Black Illusion CollarBuy this if:

A) You have a dog that pulls constantly

B) You dread walking your dog because in 3 minutes you're both exhausted

C) You've worked really hard to leash train your dog but feel like its impossible

D) You desire a companion for walking, not an intense personal trainer

Don't buy if:

A) You don't own a dog

B) You're dog doesnt pull

C) You have a dog under 19 pounds

Will you injure the dog using this leash-yes if:

A) You pull the dog so hard he falls on his back and you drag him around

B) You hang your dog from a tree with it

First of all, I have a one year old--75 pound Golden Shepherd who has lived in the country most of her life. This means she's gone outside without a leash running around several times a day. She was very well trained except for leash-training because it seemed a huge hassle and unnecessary. I regretted this immediately when I moved into an apartment last month.

I started to leash train her using several different methods, and it all ended up the same--I would be tired and frustrated and so would she. Walking had become a dreaded obligation; however, I knew she needed exercise so I couldnt simply stop walking her, despite the fact I was almost in tears at the end of our walk because my arm was so sore. I had thought about buying this collar before, but decided against it because it was so expensive and I didnt want to invest in something that didnt "work" like I'd been doing. However, It came to the point last week where my dog saw a bird, took off, and pulled me accross the mud in a movie-scene-quality stunt. That was it.

When taking the collar out of the package it seemed a little complex, but took me less than 2 minutes to fit it on my dog--it has picture instructions included. I was scared of the leash at first because it was so thin compared to my super-thick-double-stitched-nylon leash I'd been using, I figured my dog would snap it within seconds. Oh, was I DEAD wrong!

On the FIRST walk she'd try to pull, I'd yank very quickly and lightly on the leash then she was at my side. Just like that, with hardly any effort. It probably took me 5-6 quick pulls before she walked at my side entirely, like you see really WELL trained dogs doing. It was amzing, there was actually slack on the leash and I barely noticed she was on the other side!!

After a 3 walks, many birds, bikers, and other dogs passed us by and my dog walked right next to me--I didnt have to pull one time.

Just a breif thoughts to some of the negative reviews: They really made me nervous when I first read them. The worst was wondering if it was humane to use a collar like this--would I be choking my dog or injuring her? After using it: NO! Anyone who thinks differently should try it. She barely seemed to notice when I tugged on the leash--Plus it has actually saved her a LOT of grief. On her regular collar she would pull so hard for so long she would make horrible rasping/caughing/choking noises that would scare me--but It was inevitable if I didnt run behind her keeping slack on the leash the whole 'walk'. Basically a win for both of us.

Also, this is not a "magic cure" It does work LIKE magic, but it's not a cure-all. This is simply a training TOOL, not a trainer. You still need to put forth effort and work with the dog, this collar just makes it A LOT easier to leash train than anything else.

last thought: One of the best purchases I've made in 2012. Just do it!

This collar is great! It has made walking my lab mix fun again!! He is about 55 pounds and used to pull nonstop. This color has made him a different dog. I am able to walk him without getting frustrated and giving up. Definitely worth the money!! Also bought a large one for my American Bulldog who is incredibly strong and it has reformed my walks with her as well.

My girlfriend has the most stubborn dog in the world. He will choke himself to death on a walk and pull like a ox the entire time without ever calming down. Hes half bulldog and very stubborn and strong!!!!!!!!! we've used several tools like the face halter, easy walker chest harness, metal prong collars, simple slip lead collars (they just fell to the bottom of his neck and were useless). I bought 1 for each of my huksies who pulled a little bit and this fixed it 100%, they now walk loose leash right by my side, so i decided to test them out on perhaps the most stubborn dog in the world. IT WORKED WONDERS! absolutely the best collar ive ever used, BY FAR! I would recommend this to anyone who has dog that doesnt walk all that well. If anyone rates this product poorly then they clearly arent using it correctly. Read the instructions and itll work for you as well.

This dog collar really does the trick. I have a pit bull that likes to take the lead so it is hard to give her timely corrections with an ordinary collar. The Illusion collar makes it easy, the correction is timely and appropriate. The minute I put this collar on for a walk she behaves.

I purchased this (in a medium)for a foster pit bull (75 lbs) that I could not walk because if he saw another dog, he would pull me and even drag me to get to the other dog. As soon as I put this on he knew something was differentand now he walks alongside me like a good companion. He will still suddenly pull to sniff at something or lunge towards another dog, but now as soon as he reaches the end of the leash and feels the tension against the back of his head, he stops pulling. I even feel comfortable letting my 100-lb 13-year-old daughter walk him. Which is a relief, because as we all know, a good dog is a tired dog.

Two Way Dog Coupler

Zack & Zoey Nylon 2-Way Dog Coupler, 12-Inch, Jet BlackThis product is great for people with two or more dogs. It seems very strong, which is nice because my dogs like to pull it pretty hard every once in a while. It was a little bigger than I expected, but still works. My dogs are 7 and 10lbs, right now, and it works for them...and I think it would work for medium size dogs even better.

This item is exactly as I pictured it to be, my dogs are 60lbs each and the 24" might have been a little to long 18" would have probably been better but it works fine.

This is the perfect size for our two small dogs, and allows for easy control when walking them. The fact that it's not adjustable means that there is no slippage.

It is what it says. My dogs, however, didn't like being on a coupler. But the products was exactly what I wanted

Dog Supplies Soft Chew Calming Aid 65 Soft Chews 4.7oz

Dog Supplies Soft Chew Calming Aid 65 Soft Chews 4.7ozHaving purchased NaturVet Quiet Moments Calming Soft Dog Chews at a local retailer, $14.99, I was very happy to find them on Amazon.com for $5.99! I give them to my dogs when I expect them to be under stress, such as vet's visits. The dogs like the the chews and while the chews keep the dogs calm, they don't knock them out...unless the dogs were going to nap anyway.

My dog started out eating them no problem, then he soon got tired of them. It was harder for me to get him to eat them. I am not sure they helped since I gave them to him just before I sent him to daycare. I bought another kind also and he liked them much better. If your dog is picky he may not like these. My dog is picky.

I really didn't notice them calming my dog down or even taking the edge off but she loved them. Ending up using them to hide her medicine

We have an adopted cockapoo who gets very anxious at simple situations-when we're leaving, if his routine is thrown off, anything. We use these calming chews to just help him settle down when he's a little nervous. I trust the ingredients, and the results seem to be worth it! Not for everyday, but great just to help soothe our pup. It's the puppy version of a cup of chamomile tea.

Pee Wee Dog Potty Medium

Pee Wee Dog Potty MediumMy dog started using this almost right away. He'd been trained to the pads and I had used a cat litter box to put his pads in, so it was similar to what he had already been using. The only reason this doesn't get a 5 star from me is the price. This is basically just a litter box with a plastic grill in it to hold the artificial grass. When you figure the cost of pads though, this pays for itself pretty fast.

Update:12/24/09

After using this for several weeks I have found that even after a good washing the grass has a bad smell. One day last week I walked into the room that the potty was in and was assaulted by the odor, which was really discouraging considering I had washed it the day before. I took the artificial grass and threw it outside and had planned on changing our dog back to just a litter box with pads. Before I could change it out I saw my dog go to the potty with the grill on it and used it. He's been using it without the grass for about a week now. I keep a doggie pad (I take a large pad and cut it in half) under the grill so it is easier to clean at night. The grill keeps his feet off the pad so he doesn't walk out of the box with wet feet, soiling the carpet. I give the box a good washing once to twice a week and so far have not had a problem with the odor. It is really working well for us now.

We live in an apartment with no pet (restroom) friendly areas, and needed something to use on our patio. Our dog was used to going on the grass, and has torn up newspapers the few times we tried them. So, we thought this would work. $90+ dollars is quite a bit to spend on a gamble like this, and it took about 2 weeks to get the dog to ask to use it consistently (lots of treat training). But now it is perfect for us.

The modification is that there are too few holes in the plastic mat that holds the grass, its best if you notice this before the dog uses it (but you should have plenty of time while training). drill holes with a 3/8in bit in the areas between where the grass is set into the mat (obvious from first glance) not too many, but not too few. It allows quicker drainage and reduced odor.

As for cleaning, i do it once a week. i soak the grass in bleach/water/oxyclean (outdoor only!!!!)then soak it in clean water twice for about an hour total, and then let it sun dry. To clean the base I usually pour the water soakings in to it to rinse it. Have had it for 2 months and no persistent odors. this is a great product, and very competitively priced.

decent product perfect for squatters but leg lifters (and my dog is a 6lbs chihuahau)sides are not high enough so I put it in a high sided cat litter box turned out great

I have a 12lb. Papillon, and this product is barely large enough for him to turn around in. Far smaller than a puppy pad roughly about half the width of a puppy pad, possibly a bit less, and maybe six inches shorter in length as well. Which means that it won't work for constant indoor use during the winter, because dogs insist on having enough space between places they've used to find a clean spot to go and that's just not possible with such a small area. My dog might be above the mess, but his nose doesn't let him believe it. Hard to believe this is the large version, but I double checked the box, and it said it is. So I can't use it for the primary purpose I purchased it for (exclusive use during the winter), due to it's small size.

On the other hand, it seems to be very well constructed. The grass is lusher than in the other brand of dog potty I purchased, although I prefer to use it with a puppy pad in the bottom and just the bare plastic grate on top, to keep odor down and make cleanup easy. On inspection, there don't seem to be enough drainage holes in the grass to allow reasonable drainage of urine, so I strongly suggest that anyone who wants to use the grass add more holes, to minimize odor issues as much as possible. I had never planned on using the grass, so this wasn't an issue for me. One of the reasons I purchased from this company was that the plastic grating didn't look like it would hurt my dog's tender indoor paws, and the product seems to have worked out well from that standpoint.

The reason I gave it three stars is because my dog, who is very picky about his potties, seems to have taken to it without a great deal of fuss. I'm not sure if that's because he likes it better than the first potty I bought, or if it's simply because he's more used to the idea of going inside now (he prefers outside), but he did adapt fairly quickly. The best feature is the fact that it has such high sides eliminating issues with my dog standing on the potty, but doing his business over the edge which was a definite problem with the other potty. In addition, using it with a puppy pad and just the grate makes cleanup easy and there is really very little odor. This would be a really great product for people with, say, a six pound dog. I just wish they'd make a larger version.

Z-Bone Box Treat Flavor: Apple, Size: Regular/8-Pack

Z-Bone Box Treat Flavor: Apple, Size: Regular/8-PackStopped in our local pet store to pick up some dog food and find something for our dog's breath. She doesn't like all the dental chews we've tried before so they lay untouched around the yard. Saw these and that they were apple flavored. Our boxer loves apples so decided to try one. She loved it! And BONUS it works on her breath! Decided to check Amazon for a better price these aren't cheap and you know Amazon...... saved me money again!

My dog has a sweet tooth I quess. I don't know what these actually taste like as I am not that brave but using these about two months..

1. No leaving stains on my carpet or anywhere

2. Dog never tires of them

3. decent price

4. Variety from normal flavors

5. She loves them

6. Ordering on line saved me a bundle

7. Great for her teething and comes in so many sizes.

I'm very glad I found these dental chews. I'm leery of giving my whippet puppy Greenies considering all of the issues dogs were having with them awhile back. This product however, met all of my expectations! It's made in America, contains quality ingredients, and my puppy enjoys chewing on them (he loves apples). He has a fairly sensitive stomach and these bones did not appear to give him any tummy issues. I found that size of these bones fit perfectly with the size of my 35lb whippet. The only downside I had was that these bones are not cheap. I don't like to take chances with my dog's health however, so I am willing to spend a little more for better quality treats. As long as he continues to enjoy these, I will continue buying them.

GREAT PRODUCT BUT TOO RIDICULOSLY EXPENSIVE IF YOU GIVE THEM TO YOUR DOG EVERYDAY (WHICH I DO)

I STILL BUY THEM BECAUSE I LOVE MY BABY BUT..... I FEEL RAPED BY THE PRICE EVERY SINGLE TIME I ORDER THEM! Just recieved 2 large boxes from an external website -cheaper than Amazon but still almost 90 bucks! Why can't the people who make these have a little compassion for dog owners? They ( the company) claim to be Dog lovers-honestly if I were the owner of "ZUKES" I sincerely would want EVERY Dog to have my treats and would price them so that more than a small (relatively) amount of Dog owners could afford them.I HONESTLY would put my love of Dogs before PROFITS ( we had hot dogs for dinner our Doggy had steamed Organic Turkey and ( I pureed) Asparagus, Spinach,Peas and Carrots to add to his Turkey-He also eats Orjen kibble (Meat and also Fish formula kibble) so you see I put MY money where HIS mouth is Ha-Ha.COME ON ZUKES GIVE US ALL A BREAK.HEY LETS ALL WRITE TO ZUKES AND TELL THEM THEIR PRODUCTS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE!

My dog gobbled the first bone I gave her right away. I am not scared of her eating them in the bedrooms with white carpet because it leaves no markings. My dog is 50 pounds and she ate it pretty quickly, so I think it may be more of a snack for her than a bone to keep her occupied for awhile. Next time I will try to size Large to see if that helps it last a little longer.
