Dogtra D280NCP Platinum Training Collar, Part No. 280NCP (Product Group: Remote Training Collars)

Dogtra D280NCP Platinum Training Collar, Part No. 280NCPI've owned this collar for 3 years now and I am just purchasing my first replaceable battery for it. This is fully adjustable from nothing to a shock that made me cringe. I tried shocking myself before shocking my dog and I am afraid to set it over 100.

The vibrate button on this collar is great, I rarely have to nick my dog any more. After training her (vibrate, vibrate then nick) she associated the vibrate with the nick and a simple vibrate will get her to return to me from any distance with or without a line of sight.

Also, I've had this collar underwater countless times and it has held up. My dog loves to swim and sometimes goes a little to far out into lakes. A vibrate makes her turn around and head back in my direction every time.

I am leaving a review because of the negative review I saw. I am a very happy customer and even happier to find that the batteries are replaceable so I felt I needed to comment on it.

The receiver broke off the collar after 3 months. Not a high quality product as the price would suggest. Definitely make sure you keep your receipt.

Guardian Gear Reflective Pet Lead Leash - Blue

Guardian Gear Nylon Reflective Dog Lead, 1-Inch, BlueI bought this leash for night time or dusk dog walking. It is a nice weight and nice reflective strip. However the reflective strip is only on one side of the leash. This is ok, since the leash is rarely straight with only one side showing. I bought other leashes at the same time that have 2 reflective sides, but they are 1 inch wide and have heavier buckles. I still end up using them instead of this one more often, for the safety factor. I like the feel of this one better though.

I volunteer at a local shelter and bought this for us to walk dogs in the dark since that about 4:30pm in the winter. After about a month of use the reflective fell off :( Still a good leash but not reflective anymore.

We bought this leash because our neighbourhood has poor lighting and no sidewalks in many streets. The reflective leash is very reflective an works great.... Until it starts peeling off like scotch tape.

Ours lasted 3 week bofore coming off.... Now it's just a leash.

Kingdom Pets Premium Dog Treats, Chicken and Sweet Potato Jerky Twists, 16-Ounce Bag

Kingdom Pets Premium Dog Treats, Chicken and Sweet Potato Jerky Twists, 16-Ounce BagThis is a very scary product because of many dogs becoming sick after consuming them. My beloved Pitt Bull has never had a seizure...until after eating these. I have 6 rescue dogs...I love to give them treats, but I felt so guilty after realizing I had bought them treats made in CHINA!. I don't understand why Amazon refuses to help us with these issues by clearly stating where dog products are manufactured. Too many dogs have been injured or died...DO NOT RISK THE LIVES OF YOUR BELOVED PETS. IT IS JUST NOT WORTH IT!

I originally bought these at costco and loved that they were fresh and big pieces and my puppy ate them up, but when I got my package from you, the bag had a cut in it and the treats were not only puny, they were dry. It was disappointing. The price was good, but I thought I would be getting the same product.

The reason I ended up ordering was because I had moved to a new state and this costco didn't have them...

My dogs (2 Shih Tzus) absolutely love this treat. They only get 2 pieces per day. I know this particular product has gotten a bad rap lately, but I haven't noticed any strange odors or any bad side effects from this treat. I love my dogs dearly and only want to give them the best.

Punk Hollow Leather Dog Leash ~ Dog Training Leash ~ 6 ft X 3/4 in Black/Nickel (Amish Made)

Punk Hollow Leather Dog Leash ~ Dog Training Leash ~ 6 ft X 3/4 in Black/NickelGood quality product (leather and clasp are both top notch) at price much lower than local pets stores charge for similar products. Note this is a wider, heavier leash than the thin leather training leashes. I'll bet the leash lasts the lifetime of my dog (if I don't lose it).

Good thick leather, will last many years if our guy doesn't eat it. A bit longer than the average leash which is kind of nice. Very heavy duty chrome clasp that is real nice. Overall a good, solid product worth the money.

Valuepack Innotek Spray Commander, 3 Scentless & 3 Citronella refills and 5 batteries

Valuepack Innotek Spray Commander, 3 Scentless & 3 Citronella refills and 5 batteriesAfter trying dog obedience classes without any success, we purchased the Multivet Spray Commander for our black lab/rat terrier mix. The results were immediate. It's a little tricky to get into the swing of training and our dog slumped around like we had beaten her for the first couple of days. One of our biggest challenges with her is that she became aggressive toward other animals and very territorial. Within a week of using this product, she no longer constantly harasses our ferret. She's also decided that the cat is her friend and not her enemy. Last night they were actually curled up together on the couch sleeping. Before using the Spray Commander this would have *never* happened.

The main thing in using this for training is that you have to be consistent. Remember to always reward good behavior and to never fail to correct bad behavior. Also, the only reason I can't give it five stars is that the remote is a little touchy. Keeping it on hand is one thing, keeping it in your pocket is quite another. I've accidentally sprayed her a couple of times when she's done nothing wrong. Needless to say, she got extra belly rubs and lovins for my mistakes. Also, the collar tends to loosen itself without some fancy threading through the buckle.

I'd only recommend the citronella scent for outdoor training. It's a really strong scent and a little much for inside training. I'm sure it will be great this summer though. Some spritzing around the camper this summer should keep the mosquitoes away. (When the collar is off the dog, of course!)

The product arrived defective. It just plain didn't work.

I contacted the manufacturer, who ignored all requests. They told me twice that they would send me return information, and it never came. I even gave them a fax number.

This Amazon seller is even worse. They take forever to ship the product out, and wanted me to pay return shipping to Canada myself because their product was defective.

Stay away. As far away as you can. Buy another product, especially one from a different manufacturer or seller.

I used this remote collar 3 times and then it quit working. Tried changing batteries in both parts to no avail. Would not recommend this product at all.

I'm very happy with my Multivet Spray Commander. It's a great training tool for my 7mo.old puppy. I also have an older dog and a cat. When the puppy gets into one of my other pets food or space I just use the remote to give her a warning beep to stop her inappropriate behavior and she usually stops, but if she continues I press the spray button on the remote and she stops her bad behavior immediately. I really like this product because it is very versitable and humane. It can also be used to stop her from barking, begging, getting on furniture, etc. This product has been very effective for me and I would highly recommend it.

J'ai acheté le collier Spray commander pour mon Labrador de 5 mois et je ne le regrette pas. Certains disent de ce collier que c'est une méthode facile pour le maître qui ne veut pas vraiment prendre le temps d'apprendre au chien ce qui est bien et ce qui est mal. Ce que j'ai plutôt constaté c'est qu'au lieu de passer la soirée à dire "non" à mon chien je passe la soirée à travailler et à m'amuser avec lui d'une façon agréable et positive pour moi mais surtout pour lui. Un seul jet de Spray commander (scentless) a été suffisant pour lui apprendre à ne plus grimper sur le comptoir de la cuisine. Il avait aussi l'habitude de renverser les plantes. Je devais lui dire "non", relever la plante, lui dire "non" encore, ramasser la terre avec le balai, lui dire "non lâche le balai", lui enlever la terre de la bouche, lui dire "non, donne le porte poussière", aller le reconduire au tapis et lui dire de rester, revenir ramasser la terre, lui dire "tapis", remettre la terre dans le pot, ranger le balai et lui dire encore "non" et retourner relever la plante !!!!!! Avec le Spay commander, 2 petits jets ont suffis ! Après seulement un mois et une seule bouteille utilisée le collier est maintenant utilisé 90% du temps au renforcement positif ! Le système Spray commander est à mon avis un outil positif pour le chien et pour le maître lorsqu'utilisé intelligemment. Le seul point négatif: la grosseur du système. Pour mon Labrador je trouve ça gros alors pour un petit chien....

Fresh Is Best Freeze-Dried Raw Chicken & Veggie Treats for Dogs and Cats

Fresh Is Best Freeze-Dried Raw Chicken & Veggie Treats for Dogs and CatsSince my pom was diagnosed with cancer, we have modified her diet to include only organic, high protein, no wheat or added sugar type products. I prefer to buy only USDA treats to be sure of the ingredients. She loves these treats and they meet her new dietary requirements!

My dogs love all the products these folks make and there is no hesitation to gobble them up. Very convenient, real quality ingredients like chicken, carrots, parsley, beets, 50% protein, 4% fat, 6% fiber, 8% moisture. Nothing you don't want to feed a dog that is on either a raw diet or just plain old human grade home made diet like my two fur buddies. Highly recommend even if the price seems a bit high. You do get a nice size bag with shelf stable patties for a nice doggy snack.

Dean and Tyler DT Dog Harness, Black With Yellow Trim, Large - Fits Girth Size: 32-Inch to 42-Inch

Dean and Tyler DT Dog Harness, Black With Yellow Trim, Large - Fits Girth Size: 32-Inch to 42-InchI ordered this for my 4y/o German shepherd Pit bull mix. This is

A) the easiest harness I've ever put on her

B) the fastest shipping ever! I ordered it Friday and its now Monday and on my dog! That was with the regular cheap shipping and

C) Exactly what was advertised! No surprises and no gimmicks!

The only possible downside I can even think of is that the harness (according to my little brother) makes her look like those dogs that lead the blind lmao.

I will be ordering another one for my 11 y/o Chow mix and all future dogs i get!

This is a great harness, I bought it for my doberman who was constantly pulling my arm down, because he always wanted to smell the ground. I use to get so frustrated walking him, it wasn't a walk it was a chore. now he is much more tolerable to walk. I don't get frustrated and neither does he.

This harness is the best. It is so easy to put on our 4yr Lab and she loves it. It seems to be a really comfortable fit for her. My son runs her on his bike and it doesn't pinch or cut or bind in any way. The service was exceptional, I received it within 72 hrs of ordering. At first I was a little apprehensive about the price, but I will tell you it is the best money I have ever spent online! I highly reccommend this harness for any dog, it is a great experience for both dog and owner.

At first I was a bit turned off by the price of this harness but I have decided it was well worth it. It shipped out very quickly even with the free supersaver shipping and upon opening the box I noticed how well constructed it was. In the few days I have had this harness I have used it on my 7 year old German shepherd to go hiking, biking, and just to walk around town in, so not only does it look great on her but the versatility (especially due to the 3 D-rings) can't be beat. She already gets excited like a puppy again when she sees me bring it out which makes the easiness off putting it on her so useful, plus with her large neck and deep chest other harnesses never seemed to fit quite right, this harness fits perfectly. I will definitely be purchasing my boxer one very very soon and my dad has even noted that he had plans on ordering his jagdterrier one.

I followed the recommendations of the seller in ordering a large for a near 70 pound Staffordshire Terrier. Way too loose! The belly strap adjusted quite well, but the front chest strap could not be adjusted to fit. Thus, I had to return the harness and re-order another one to two week wait. Amazon's return policy and procedure is the best in the industry, but vendors using Amazon often leave a lot of information on product to conjecture. In all fairness to Dean & Taylor, the quality of this product is first rate.

Sam's Yams Bichon Fries Sweet Potato Dog Treats, 5-Ounce

Sam's Yams Bichon Fries Sweet Potato Dog Treats, 5-OunceMy friend had told me about these natural treats that help with cleaning their teeth and my dogs love these! My dogs try to swallow those rawhide ones and I'm afraid they will choke on them. They enjoy chewing these. These treats come in 3 sizes so my small dog enjoys this size while my big dog likes the BIG BOYZ Sweet Potato Chews.

As far as I can tell, the quality of this product is good. However, our little Scottie-girl has no interest in them. She ate part of the first one and pushed around the rest of it. Since then, she has had no interest in them, even when it is the only thing at the 'breakfast table' . It just sits there..lonely and unloved.

I wanted to incorporate more pumpkin and sweet potato for our little Kaite, since she's undergoing chemo for a couple of nasty tumors. I've found the pumpkin spice canned 'amendment' to be to her liking; but the Bichon Fries missed the mark for us. Katie's appetite is good and I thought she would enjoy chewing these; but, alas, we shall give them to the pups we visit when are pet-sitting.

I was really happy to find sweet potato treats made in the USA, and my border terrier loves these. I also like that they're healthy and good for his teeth, but I'm wondering if they are also perhaps a bit too high in fiber? After eating just three of these fries yesterday, he fully doubled his poop production (it's like watching clowns come out of a clown car).

Want Sam's Yams Bichon Fries Sweet Potato Dog Treats, 5-Ounce Discount?

I was so disappointed with these treats for my 11 lb. Maltipoo. We had purchased a sweet potato treat for her previously at our local store, but they are no longer available, so I thought I would try these. However, they are very hard and our Bella wanted nothing to do with them after trying to chew them for a few minutes. I resorted to "steaming" them, and then cutting them into shorter pieces...some of the "fries" are 3-4 inches long...and the steaming worked for awhile, but then they became hard again. I would not recommend these for small dogs. Larger dogs might like them because of their hardness and their size.

Krebs Recycle 2 ft. Climbing Rope Dog Training Lead

Krebs Recycle 2 ft. Climbing Rope Dog Training LeadWe have a 185 lb Irish Wolfhound. He is a true gentle giant, but if he wants to go somewhere he will. We have had the 6 foot leash for a few years and like it. We have been using the 2 foot for a month or so and really like it. He doesn't get the room to gain traction so there is more control. There also is just a closer connection and he responds to it. It's also great just to have along even if you are off leash. You can stash it in your pocket or over the shoulder. Then when you come to the nervous hiker eying the beast, you whip it out, clip it in and everyone feels better. Having done a fair amount of mountaineering, I like the feel and look of the 10 mill rope. I also like the fact that it stays out of a landfill. All in all, it is Wolfhound proof and approved.

I just received this 2ft. lead today and have already completed 2 walks with it (7 miles total). I like the look of climbing rope leashes, and after pondering making my own, I discovered the Krebs versions. At their price, it definitely makes up for all the time and effort I would spend trying to make a leash as nice as this. My dog is rather small (a 30 lb. mini Aussie), so he does not stand very tall approx 18" at his shoulders. However, he's very good at walking right beside me whether he's on a leash or not, so I really don't need a lot of slack for him on a vigorous walk. I wanted something that would simply fall at my side with my arms relaxed and down, and not drag the ground. This length is a perfect match for my height and my dog's in that respect.

The quality of construction is top notch, but it still has the look of something that has been made individually and with great care. The cordura sleeve and stitching that binds the two ends of the rope together to form the loop looks strong and I have no worries about it not holding up.

I should note that the photos do not make it all that apparent that the leash is in fact a large open loop, with the exception of where it is bound together near the clasp... so, where most webbing leashes have a small loop for a handle, this is essentially one large loop (the photos make it seem like there is a small handle if you glance at it).

These are very nice leashes. The feel great in the hand and give you a lot of control. My wife agrees.
