PLATO CKN BREAST 100% USA 8OZ

PLATO CKN BREAST 100% USA 8OZMy dogs have very sensitive digestive systems and are prone to colitis. This is a natural, healthy, USA made treat that they love best of all, it's good for them!

My little Papillon loves these. I do not give him a whole one each day as a treat but break them in half and he munches quite happily for several minutes as he eats them. I love it that they are made in the USA as I feel there is more quality control. They are an easy treat to feed and are not messy at all.

Sofa Scram Sonic Scat Pad

High Tech Pet Sofa Scram Sonic Scat Pad Pet Deterrent, 3-PackThe Sofa Scram didn't deter my cat at all. First of all, it comes on when it wants to. I heard it beep once when the cat hopped onto it, and that's the only time I heard it aside from my own tampering. I eventually pressed my hand on the mat for better contact. This only worked intermittently, and when it did beep my cat was interested in the speaker--not afraid of it by any means. My cat isn't the shy, shrinking violet type, so perhaps that's why it didn't take. But, either way, this product was entirely ineffective for me.

My wife and I just got a new sofa and decided it was time to break our dogs of the habit of hanging out on the couch. Worked well with our two lab and Jack rat. It's pretty easy to fold up and you can store it under your couch.

The only reason I'm giving it 4 star is because it runs on 9 volts I think it would be cool if it gave you the option of plugging it in. So far we have been using it for 3 weeks with it on all most all the time other then when we are sitting and it's still running on the same battery.

product works great in the sound it gives off, but with dogs who can lift the ends or middle they get right through it and don't sound off noise.

Our Weims are too smart for their own good, so they would always find a way to sneak onto the couch... Now they have no desire to do so! All it took was to hear that loud, very annoying high-pitched noise and they are suddenly perfectly content with their pet beds ;) Great product! Should have gotten this thing a LOMG time ago!

Want Sofa Scram Sonic Scat Pad Discount?

The one drawback, is that the alarm doesn't respond when certain spots on the pad are depressed, but all I have to do is put it on the bed while my dog is watching and press it myself. I think he hears the sound and is smart enough to stay away from it once that happens. I think that dogs in general are smart enough to do the same. In short, it works...and it's only $25.

55 ct Gridlock Puppy Training 24" x 24" Wee Wee pads

55 ct Gridlock Puppy Training 24' x 24' Wee Wee padsMonths later, I am still having post-traumatic stress from finding a curly tailed smashed mouse within the layers of a Gridlock pad...but I am happy to tell you that I have discovered many USA made under-pads made for humans which are larger and cheaper than these filthy, China made pads.

I purchased directly from Dig it, and when I spoke to them they were as unconcerned with this incident as the Chinese manufacturers of the pet food ingredient that killed thousands of our countries dogs and cats a couple of years ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if these pads also contained carcinogenic ingredients these people just don't care their one and only goal is to get as much cash out of our pockets as possible with as little expenditure to them as possible, no matter who it KILLS!!!!

These pads hold large amounts of liquid and do not shred when our cats try to "cover up" their messes. We are using these pads for our older cats even though they have ample access to litter boxes, sometimes they don't make it for whatever reason. Since we've started using these wherever we think they might have an accident, they choose the pads instead, which has saved our carpets from the urine they we all know never comes out. We also use them if the large dog we have is kept inside for long periods of time. She just automatically went on them. We've tried the cheaper kinds but they shred or don't hold as much. Now we buy these in bulk.

I've purchased these in the larger 100 pack and wanted to add my review to this size package as well. These are the most absorbent pads that I have ever used. I read good things about them (under the other pack size reviews), but they are better than I ever expected! I will never use another brand again.

Read Best Reviews of 55 ct Gridlock Puppy Training 24" x 24" Wee Wee pads Here

My dog goes on any wee wee pad, because I change products frequently, looking for a more absorbent pad & one that she doesn't shred. She gets enough use out of one maybe up to 3 days. I leave 1 in the bathroom & 1 in the kitchen. There is no odor, so that's good. Also the liner around the pad is light colored so it doesn't attract her attention to bite it. But if I'm gone all day (if I'm @ work) she might go crazy & shred it a little. But I think she's getting better, now that she's a little older, maybe she outgrew that stage. (I hope so because sometimes she ate the plastic & padding!!!)

It could be a little thicker but at least it absorbs. I ordered another pack this time the larger ones. If it's too big I'll cut it in half.

Want 55 ct Gridlock Puppy Training 24" x 24" Wee Wee pads Discount?

I have an older, diabetic cat, Java, who has taken to peeing (and peeing and peeing!) just outside her litter box, and these large 24x24 inch pieces of heaven have saved me a ton of grief...and money on other cleaning supplies. I was a little skeptical at first because of Gridlock's surprisingly low price point, compared to the more expensive Wee-Wee Pads, but have become a true believer. First of all, that extra 2"x1" over the standard Wee-Wee Pads (22x23 inches) makes a world of difference with Java's "splash zone". Plus, they seem far more absorbent and sturdy, which is important because Java loves to scratch the pad overzealously after doing her business, as if it were litter.

Holt Walking Headcollar - Size 3 in Black

Holt Walking Headcollar - Size 3 in BlackSee customer photos for a side-by-side comparison of the old-style Halti and the new-style Holt.

I won't rant and rave about the benefits and drawbacks of using a headcollar each dog is different and responds differently to various training tools, and I'm assuming that you've found this product based off your own research and recommendations from trainers and friends.

The hard part is deciding which headcollar type to use. In the past decade, I've used several different headcollars, including the Halti, the Gentle Leader, the Petmate AKC Headcollar, and the Holt. In my opinion, the Holt is the sturdiest, most comfortable, and most flexible headcollar of the whole bunch, and is a worthy successor to my previous favorite, the Halti.

The Company Of Animals Halti Head Halter Black Size Halti Head Halter Black Sz 0 Training & Behavioral Aids

The Halti was, previously, the best halter for a very simple reason: it had side-straps on either side of the dog's face that prevented the noseband from riding up a dog's face and digging into the dog's eyes. It also worked without cinching the dog's mouth shut, like the Gentle Leader. However, the noseband was not padded, and while I made my own homemade padding for the noseband, it was at least very wide to prevent the material from biting into the dog's skin (unlike the Gentle Leader). The Halti generally came only in black, though colors could be found online. The Halti, despite being designed to function loose (and allowing a dog the full use of its mouth), often made your dog look "vicious" by wearing a "muzzle", particularly in the black color. Prior to the holt, this was the most comfortable.

HALTI PROS: comfort, looseness, prevents noseband from riding up, safety buckle connects to collar

HALTI CONS: limited colors, no padded noseband, can not be cinched tight for short-nose breeds

Gentle Leader Head Collar, Size: Small, Color: Royal Blue

The Gentle Leader, however, was the choice for short-nosed breeds. The Halti suffered when a shorter-snouted dog pawed at the noseband to remove it. The Gentle Leader's design cinched the dog's mouth closed with a locking mechanism, allowing it to be used snugly on short-nosed breeds. For standard-shaped noses, the cinching could be kept more loose to allow for more comfort. It did not have the side straps like the Halti, so it could ride up into the dog's eyes. The noseband was narrow and not padded (unless you shell out extra $ for the premium version not found in stores), so it bit into the dog's skin at the top of the nose. However, it came in multiple colors which helped it look less like a muzzle.

GENTLE LEADER PROS: color choices, cinches tight for short-nose breeds, safety buckle connects to collar

GENTLE LEADER CONS: uncomfortable narrow non-padded noseband (note: premium GL has nose padding, but still narrow), can ride up into eyes

Petmate 3/4-Inch by 16-24-Inch Medium AKC Padded Dog Halter, Brown

New to the game was the Petmate AKC-branded headcollar. This came in many colors and was pre-fitted with a fleece padded noseband. The noseband color is always brown, and there are additional options for colors of the straps. This headcollar looked the least like a muzzle. However, the locking mechanism was not sturdy and would often slide, allowing dogs (even long-nosed breeds) to paw the noseband off their face. It also did not come with a safety strap to connect the headcollar to a dog's normal buckle collar (though one could be homemade very easily). It also buckles underneath the neck, rather than on the side of the face.

PETMATE AKC PROS: color choices, fleece padded noseband

PETMATE AKC CONS: loose & slide-able lock, no safety strap to connect to collar

Now, onto the Holt. The Holt is identical to the Halti except for two key features: a "camlock" and a foam-padded noseband. The camlock is a very tight locking mechanism that does NOT budge when the dog paws at the noseband. It is a great tool to keep the headcollar ON your dog. For short-nosed breeds, the camlock can be set tight and will stay in place. It has the same great features of the halti to prevent the noseband from riding up into the eyes, and the safety strap to connect the headcollar to a buckle collar. In addition, the noseband is padded with black foam material, not fleece, and is extremely soft and comfortable. It is sewn on the underside of the headcollar, and does not interrupt the color (can not be seen while the dog is wearing the headcollar). The Holt comes in a variety of colors, including red, pink, and blue.

HOLT PROS: extremely comfortable, foam padded noseband, noseband doesn't ride up into eyes, camlock keeps noseband in place even with short-nosed breeds, multiple colors

HOLT CONS: ???

If you are considering a headcollar to train your dog, I highly recommend the Holt for all breeds. It is a worthy successor to the Halti and addresses the cons of that headcollar.

Please note that I have included customer photos showing the Halti and the Holt side-by-side in the "customer photo" section here:

Coastal Holt Dog Walking Collar, Blue, Size 0

WE used to use these on the dogs when I trained at Guide Dogs and they were great. I have since gotten started using the gentle leader head collar and might like them a little better, but both are terrific. Both are known for actually helping your dog feel calmer by stimulating certain pressure points. Above all it is a fantastic solution if your dog pulls on walks. You'll be amazed how well it works.

Buy Holt Walking Headcollar - Size 3 in Black Now

I am a pet dog trainer and have recommended the Gentle Leader over the halti for years because the Gentle Leader is much more secure. Not anymore... I received a trial halter in the mail yesterday from the manufacturer and I was very impressed with the modifications, adjustable nose strap, thinner straps, padded nose strap. My rescued border collie walks with a Gentle Leader deluxe which never fit her properly. The halter either slid around her nose but if tightened put a lot of pressure on her neck. I've been looking for an alternative for the Gentle Leader for her for months and I haven't liked any of the head halters until the Holt halter. This halter fits great, stays in place and puts no pressure on the neck.

I think the Gentle Leader is a great product and it fits perfectly on my sheltie, but I don't think there is one perfect product for all dogs. I'm glad to have this as an option.

I can't believe I never heard of these before. My dog is like a professional show dog with this lead on -it is truly amazing. We stopped walking him on leash years ago because it was just so frustrating and painful for all of us. I will use this collar forever now, even just walking to the car and back. No more being jerked around by my Greater Swiss.

This collar was recommended by my nephew. We put it on our Australian Shepard, and the first time he walked perfectly. It really didn't even take long for him to get use to something being over his nose. Now he is a joy to walk. No more pulling. Thank you!!!

Northmate Green Modern Interactive Dog Feeder

Northmate Green Modern Interactive Dog FeederI saw other reviews about how well this feeder works for a large dog like a Great Dane, but I wasn't sure if it would work for my two little 10 lb chihuahuas. Holy crap does it work! One of my little guys is a real chow hound. He doesn't chew his food he vacuums it up straight into his stomach. But this thing really really slows him down. Plus, we can scatter shredded cheese in it when we leave them home alone and it keeps them busy for a long time. AND it's dishwasher safe. I love this thing! It's very much worth the price.

Slows a 90lb lab's consumption of two cups of dry food from about 30 seconds to about 12 minutes. He appears challenged throughout the whole process. Pretty funny. :)

Buy Northmate Green Modern Interactive Dog Feeder Now

I purchased this product after reading many reviews on here and other sites. Though some reviews were negative against it, the majority were positive. Before purchasing this, my dog, a 4-month old English Shepherd would inhale his food like it was his last and only supper. It would literally take him 30 seconds to whiff down a 1 1/2 cups of dry dog food. I don't think he even tasted it! The first time I used this product, it took him 15 minutes. I thought, "Yes!!" Big mistake as it was premature. Over the next 7 days, he reduced his eating time down to about 2 minutes for the same amount! And, no, he doesn't flip the feeder upside down. It's just that he's "figured out" how to scarf down his food efficiently using this "devise". While this might work for some dogs, I unfortunately am back to the drawing board to find a product that will truly slow him down. The product itself is of excellent quality, is wide and heavy enough so as not easily "flippable". However, if your dog has a large snout, this might not be a wise use of money, as the spacing between the "blades of grass" are not wide enough to get a large snout down. Thus, your dog will have to resort to using his tongue like a lizard to get his morsels. I may revert back to this feeder, once my dog and his snout gets larger. Who knows, by then, he might just flip the entire feeder over, which is a good thing to keep in mind. If you have a smart dog and he paws this feeder upside down, that's it. The game is up. Fortunately, after my dog did this one time, we relocated the feeder in such a manner where he couldn't do this again.

Read Best Reviews of Northmate Green Modern Interactive Dog Feeder Here

First off: I love this feeder and so does my dog. It elongated dinner time from 90 seconds to well over 10 Minutes and the dog is not gagging anymore after an especially intense feeding time.

The material is nice very smooth, well finished hard plastic, my dog has not yet tried to chew it. It's dishwasher safe.

Buyers, beware: it's fairly large (about 16" long by 11-1/2" wide) and the "grass" is up to 3" tall. My medium sized dog needed to get used to a technique to get his food pebbles out of it but it was a great game and still results in eat/play time.

However, while smaller dogs with a longer snout should be OK with this, I do not recommend this product for pugs or other small dogs with short noses, they might not be able to reach the food. Larger dogs with short snouts should be OK due to longer tongues.

Want Northmate Green Modern Interactive Dog Feeder Discount?

This product is MUCH LARGER than I ever anticipated it would be I think that is the only drawback ---the manufacturer says one size works for all dog breeds and sizes, but I beg to differ and I think it would be great if they made a smaller version for toy size dogs.

That said, it does work to slow down the eating process, though my little ones like to use their paws to move the food around. I also have a couple of dogs who are "scared" of it right now and so they won't go near it, even when the food is in the "plate"... I figure eventually they will get hungry enough to overcome those issues... and in the meantime the other dogs like it just fine. I have purchased several of these because we are a multiple dog household, and after just a couple of feedings, I think this is a product that will definitely help with the gobblers in our pack.

I do recommend this, but I think it is more for dogs over 20lbs. and it's kind of strange to use with tiny 4 to 6 lb. dogs.

I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I can't be more happy than I am with the Holt head collar. I have a 5 month old German Shepard and it has changed our walks like no other. I can't wait to show my friends. I am ordering two more so I will have one in the car and camper. My dog still rubs against me once on a while to let me know she wants it off but I just give it a LITTLE tug and she stops. She is a puppy after all. It doesn't hurt her and she gets her three mile a day walk. Even my kids will walk the dog now. THAT'S AMAZING!

My dog and I thought we should review this product together. And since my keyboarding skills are better, I' m writing for both of us. Dog comments are in [brackets]:

As a dog owner [grrrrr, that's not politically correct....we prefer "dog's human partner"]. OK, as a "partner", I think this is a better collar than the Gentle Leader we once owned [grrrrrr]. The nose band is wider and well padded, it goes on easily. Some dog owners, PARTNERS will like the connecting strap that clips to a regular collar, but its hardly necessary. My only issue is that the collar's fastening clip is too close to the dog's ear and might get caught.[grrrrrrr, just be careful, why don't you?]

[as a dog, I resent all collars, but this one isn't TOO awful. It helps my human partner think he can contol our walks, even though that is pure human fantasy...I mean if I really wanted to get away, I could. Anyhow, my nose feels a little better using this collar, even though it still bothers me to have to wear it]

It works but dog never did get used to it. He continued to rub and pull with paws stopping all the time. But by the end of each walk he would more or less stop trying but would then rub his face against my leg.

The strap that goes from chin to collar I had to remove since he put his foot thru it. It DOES stop the dog from pulling and many other dogs might not react this way.

I received it very quickly and just as I imagined after reading the description and a bunch of reviews. I was looking for something well-made but still comfortable enough for my dog to wear all day, and it HAD to have the reflective feature (which by the way is NOT just painted on but an actual reflective strip sewn on!). I say the service is great because the product was shipped promptly and even though I did initially receive the wrong patches, after a quick email and a couple days later I had the correct ones in hand!!! So THANK YOU Dt Works for making this transaction great/quick/and easy for me!!! =)

Herm Sprenger Pinch Collar, 16-Inch, Medium 3.0 Millimeter

Herm Sprenger Pinch Collar, 16-Inch, Medium 3.0 MillimeterI'm very pleased with this item. Works just as advertised and is made out of high quality material.

The only reason I didn't give this item 5 stars is because it should come with instructions on how to properly use the collar preferably a DVD like the halti-harnesses come with. A prong collar should not inflict pain, choke the dog, and MUST be fitted properly before using it. This is not a collar you slip over the dogs head and expect to work well. First of all, if you can slip this collar over your dogs head, you are causing harm to your dog as it is fit too loose, making this collar a dangerous device. Nearly everyone who purchases this collar will need to remove at least a few links so that it will fit correctly. When fit properly and used properly, this can be a wonderful device for both dog and person.

PLEASE, I'm begging you if you decide to purchase a prong collar, be it this one or any other collar, find a trainer to show you how to properly use it or at the very least, go to Youtube and type in "how to properly fit a prong collar" as there are some decent instructional videos out there. If you don't know what you're doing, you will hurt your dog and potentially make whatever behavior you want to fix even worse. For both you and your dogs sake, PLEASE educate yourself before using one of these!

If this product came with better instructions or a DVD on how to properly use it, I would have given this 5 stars.

Works very well. All I would use on a larger breed. Choke collars just won't do on a strong dog, the dog can pull and if you're constantly pulling thats a problem. This IS NOT cruel, you don't need to pull very hard to get the dog's attention immediately. Once this goes on, a stubborn dog will realize it's a different ballgame and the pulling will cease. They may protest at first as they are certainly disappointed. My dog doesn't mind it at all. I leave it on in the house with a tab so I can correct him if need be whenver necessary. He is very headstrong. A must in my opinion. This brand also is the best. Pet store brands are cheap. Stay away from them. The links CAN come loose, if this happening you just need to bend the links back into a position where they will not become unhinged. This can happen over a bit of time but it isn't hard to solve and keep it moving along and it does not happen except very rarely.. a couple times with my current collar which I've had for 3 years.

I've used this collar on my German Shepherd puppy since she was about 3 months old. She's 7-month old now and weighs about 55 lbs. It has worked great -she never pulls on the leash. If she wanders around, a little tug brings her right back. This is a high-quality collar made from stainless steel, and I've never had it come loose. Make sure to use the right number of links. Some uninformed people think this kind of collar would induce pain on the dog. It obviously doesn't because my puppy is never afraid of it. It's probably even more comfortable than conventional collars. I highly recommend it.

We bought this for our Brittany, Coco who is a rescue dog who had never walked on a leash before we got her. We have tried everything to train her. Much as we dislike using a pinch collar, it is the only way we can walk her without ending up with severe shoulder pain. The collar is a lot more solid than the previous one we bought from the pet store. It was easy to remove two links to make it for her neck.

Chicken arrived and puppy went to town on it. Came back an hour later and he had destroyed and ate the head. He is 41 pounds but attacks anything with a squeaker. A good toy if your dog doesn't chew heavily.

ATC The BEST Electronic Dog Fencing Pet Containment System for 2

ATC The BEST Electronic Dog Fencing Pet Containment System for 2It states dog fencing for two but it only came with one collar? How is that for 2? I cannot find another collar that works with this system.

it started going off whenever and where ever, shocking my dog at any time. It then went off and wouldn't turn off shocking my dog constantly until I took the collar off her neck. Glad I was home at the time.

it took awhile but I carefully placed the wire in the ground as directed and the wire was broke in many spots, plus it was easy to tangle like fishing line. the wire was to thin and not nearly strong enough. I bought 14 gauge wire which I reconmend and placed in the ground as a replacement. The reciever works but the distance at which the collar activates varies greatly. The two collars that came with this both broke in the first week of use. It's plastic loops broke and when water got on it, it stopped working all together save your money get something else.

ATC Petsafe SHOCK +VIBRATE REMOTE SMALL LITTLE DOG TRAINING COLLAR

ATC Petsafe SHOCK +VIBRATE REMOTE SMALL LITTLE DOG TRAINING COLLARmy 1 year old jack russell was chasing cars at EVERY opportunity. i honestly used this collar 1 time and she has avoided cars totally in the month since. i connot attest to its long term quality since i used it only once, but i am certainly impressed. i told her "NO" and hit vibrate which she ignored. i repeated the command and hit shock. she yelped but didnt stop. i repeated, she stopped and that was all.

I purchased this for the vibrate setting to get my dog's attention when he barked. The vibrate didn't even startle him. I tried the shock button once and it did nothing. The flashlight worked.

Zuke's Mini Naturals Dog Treats

Zuke's Mini Naturals Dog Treats Roasted Chicken Recipe, 16-OunceMini Naturals 1 pound Salmon Flavored

Great product for training dogs! I use them all the time for training (walking on a lead, sitting, fetching). They are high in flavor so even with our 7 month Golden Retriever, treats cut in half work well for a reward. Unlike dog kibble or other treats, these are quickly digested so that your dog will not be gagging on them as he/she works on the next behavior. To keep fresh, keep bag tightly closed and put a portion of the cut treats in a resealable sandwich bag. If they do get exposed to air and dry out, a small portion of a moistened paper towel in the bag will restore them to original texture.

Our puppy loves these little treats! They are small enough to give him a few at a time, but I like to cut them up even smaller and use them for training. They are tiny as is (about the size of a pencil eraser), but can easily be cut into quarters for reward-based training. I will always keep these in stock for him!

My two ECS eat salmon dog food and it's hard to find a salmon treat and one that is affordable when you do find them. These are PERFECT for agility, obedience, conformation-you name it. They do smell strong of Salmon (which, my boys love) and like the other reviewer, they will dry out pretty quickly if not kept sealed. That being said, my boys will not hesitate to eat them if they do get dried out from leaving them in the bait bag. At the 4-for-3 promotion price, you can't go wrong!

My dog likes these treats, but definitely prefers the peanut butter ones better. One strange thing I've noticed with these treats is that they tend to harden very quickly -so you're best off buying the small bag (seen here), not the bigger bag. It's strange -the salmon flavor does harden faster than the peanut butter flavor. But, all in all, they're a good treat to feed your dog because they're so small. They're perfect for training, and Zuke's is always full of good things, not some crappy ingredients like some other dog treats out there.

I only feed my dog organic products treats and I love the ingredients in these treats. Even better, my dogs love them too. They are small and perfect for training. Although I think they smell repulsive my labs cannot get enough of them. They will harden over time, they are super-moist to begin with. But I have found that they stay fresh much longer if you keep them in the refrigerator

I also recommend the american chicken jerky that comes with the skin and coat optimizer, K9 Showstopper (Unflavored) 4 Lbs. + Free American Chicken Jerky 3 Oz.. Another favorite in this household, they go crazy when they see the bag. The jerky does come in much bigger pieces but they are easy to break into two, which I usually do and share half with each dog. Now if I only watched my own diet as much as I did my dogs, I may actually get somewhere, lol.

One thing is for sure, Amazon definitely has the best prices for pet treats and supplies. I've seen these products at the store marked up almost double! Cannot say that about everything Amazon carries but for these categories they seem to have cornered the market.

PETSAFE ULTRASONIC BARK CONTRL

PETSAFE ULTRASONIC BARK CONTRLIf you have one or two dogs...I think this unit would be great! This unit seems to be working well for the two big dogs in the house but it is doing very little to halt the little dogs from barking when someone comes to the door. You can see them shake their head when they hear the noise but seems like it is not quite enough to make them stop.

On the positive side....you REALLY can see that it is making a sound that the dogs can hear...and it HAS stopped the big dogs from any barking at all. I guess it was not designed to halt an entire pack....at least....not 4 little dogs.

My German Shepherd would bark incessantly while in her crate. She would bark at people walking by and just to hear herself bark. She was completely out of control. I was reluctant to purchase a bark collar and thought I would try this instead. It works! It put a stop to the barking immediately! No training required. Just put the battery in it and place it in the same room as the dog. Problem solved!

We bought this about a month ago and it silenced our dog immediately. He is quite anxious and dominant so he sits by the window and barks at people walking by. This device silenced him after about the second or third time he set it off. Very good product.

Whistle Clickers for Dog Training

Whistle Clickers for Dog TrainingThe whistle on mine sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, indicating the plastic used to make this wasn't formed correctly, and I have to blow a certain way to get the whistle to make any noise. I got this to get my dog's attention focused, and have found that since the whistle is hit or miss just clapping my hands is a better, and cheaper!, option.

What can I say about the clicker? It clicks.

Litter Kwitter Cat Toilet Training System

Litter Kwitter Cat Toilet Training SystemSo I bought this after reading many many reviews and I even watched a video of a customer review that proved it worked with their cat,

although just remember all cats are different and will not react the same.

I have a 2yr old rag doll, our only problem was shes too large for this and always ended up getting litter all over the place and sometimes some of her waste would get on the floor and it was not a fun experience.

we had good successful other than that but BUT THINK THIS THROUGH BEFORE YOU PURCHASE OR YOU COULD BE WASTING YOUR MONEY. smelling pee or poop when she did'n t get it all the way in and then having to clean it up is not fun and not worth it.

Hope this helps.

I wish it had been double sided, but otherwise it's just what I was looking for. I have a new trainee in at didn't want to constantly change around gear and patches for him. This makes for a simple clip and go on any collar, leash, harness, or vest.

Arctic Paws Original 4-Ounce Yummy Chummies Original Treats

Arctic Paws Original 4-Ounce Yummy Chummies Original TreatsThese are super treats! My dog would open them herself-if she had thumbs. Now to the price-$6.99 for 4 ounces...when I read that I did a double take. Say what!!!! I buy these at my local grocery store for $1.79 per 4 ounce bag. People please shop around this price is outrageous unless, of course, there is a gold nugget at the bottom of the bag.

My golden enjoys a few "yummy chummies" on her regular food; I enjoy the added Omega oil health benefit. Her coat is silky and no problems with dry skin or hot spots. A healthy treat that is a change from the regular biscuit.

We used to buy these treats locally when we lived in Alaska and all of my dogs would go insane just from the site of the bag. I haven't met a dog that doesn't love them. It's definitely worth a buy!

My dog loves this treat.

However, Amazon carries close to expiry products and my 1st order & its replacement were both expired on arrival. I am still waiting for the credit to my account for the expired goods a year later! (something to do with multiple returns on the same order & their computer system can't handle it)

The treat is supposed to be semi-soft & chewy not hard. If it is hard & tough, it's been stored improperly or has expired.

I will continue buying this treat, but not from Amazon.

These smell good and are good for dog's skin and coat, but they are pretty expensive. The small bag only has enough treats for a little under 2 weeks given twice a day.

Pet Dreams Eco Friendly 2-Piece Bumper Bed

Pet Dreams X-Small Coco Brown Eco Friendly 2-Piece Bumper BedBesides the bed looking nice and my young dog loving it, this is the easiest bed to care for! The body of the bed has 3 removable inserts and the pillow has 1 removable insert that has the separate channels mentioned in the description. The pillow insert holds up nicely because of this. While the price is somewhat high, I do appreciate that it is made of recycled plastic bottles (and still feels very soft) and the benefit of removing all of the inserts for quick wash and dry. Due to the color (plum), spots do show easily but such is life with pets.

I thougt it was going to be nice but it ended be way to thin for the price. The bottom rolls up to easy. Pretty much a waste of money and quite a bit of money.
