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.

Simple Solution Extra Large Training Pads 100 pk (2x50pk)

Simple Solution Extra Large Training Pads 100 pkProtects very well and is a good size and extremely absorbent. I recommend them to avoid unnecessary messes and "emergencies" with all pets.

I read all the reviews on Amazon about these pee pad, and really wondered if they worked as well as others said they did. I have a yorkie and we keep pee pads around when we are not home, and these work great. They are wider than most and are super absorbant. These are perfect for training and for dogs of all sizes.

I like these pads. We have a small dog so when we don't take him out these are perfect for indoor use.

This xtra large size pad provides more complete coverage and, hence, better protection for my hardwood floor against 'spillage' as well as poor aim! While thin, these pads can hold a significant amount of liquid. And this is a fantastic price. I just returned from Pet Supplies Plus where these exact pads were selling for more than $42 for one package of 50 pads so this is definitely a phenomenal buy.

Want Simple Solution Extra Large Training Pads 100 pk (2x50pk) Discount?

I must admit to having been very happy with another brand's xtra large training pads. But Amazon stopped carrying them, and offered Simple Solutions instead. When I finally gave in and ordered, we decided to test the two pads together(the other one was OUT!).

Simple Solutions really IS better! We put both brands side by side, then judged the results, and Simple Solutions won "hands down." They're much less messy because they absorb better,so they last longer -and the dog didn't seem to see any difference between the two brands.

Using training pads is great when training puppies, but if you have a fondness for toy dogs, they can also help your adults. I've had Poms for the last 25 years and long ago discovered that leaving a couple of large training pads in the attached garage during the work-day allows them to use the garage as "outside" whenever they need it. And that, in turn, has reduced accidents to almost zero for very long periods of time.

Alfie Couture Pet Accessory - Flashing Pet Safety Collar - Collar Color: Baby Blue, LED Light Color:

Alfie Couture Pet Accessory - Flashing Pet Safety Collar - Collar Color: Baby Blue, LED Light Color: Blue, Size: LThe loop the D-ring for the leash was attached to got ripped off within a few days. I managed to somehow make do by sewing some scrap ribbon on for the leash. Then the light got shorter, limited only to the area immediately next to the switch.

Got mine today and it has some kind of short. Won't stay lit even with a new battery, so it's going back. Too bad, I like the look and construction.

The quality appears good. It's a much lighter blue than I had hoped. The light also appears to work fine, but I'll be curious to see how it holds-up ove time.

I would recommend the product.

DT Works Harness, Service Dog, Black/White, Small - Fits Girth Size: 25-Inch to 34-Inch

DT Works Harness, Service Dog, Black/White, Small - Fits Girth Size: 25-Inch to 34-InchVest is made of very high quality. My German Shepherd seems very comfortable in it. Patches are easily removed and stay on secure.

This is a very well made and sturdy harness for a Service Dog. I have a 58 lb Cattle Dog with a 29-30 chest girth. The front chest strap is fully adjustable but tends to ride a little high for him. Still very serviceable. Patches are the best I have ever seen. All materilas used are of excellent quality and the construction is extremely good, too. The handle is well made and the dee rings are well placed. I can't fault it other then I wish the front chest strap was set on a bit lower.

I was very pleased at how well this harness was put together. The joints and such are very well done. It was easy to fit on my Standard poodle with a good amount of adjustment room. Be sure to check and recheck the measurements of your dog... the small fit my dog very well... the Velcro front adjustment also has plenty of room for adjustment... the side 'service dog' tags are Velcro-ed on to the point that you really need some strength to pull it off... you will not lose it while you are travelling around... the only problem I had was the box it came in... everything was packed very well and nothing was damaged, but the box was (I think) too small because the top was sprung and it was a good sized hole -about 2" in diameter... other than that... I'm very impressed

The harness that I received was not the one that I ordered. That said, it is a really nice, well made harness and I decided that I liked it even better than the one I was going to get. The customer service, however was EXCELLENT. Within moments of sending an e-mail to tell them of the mix up I had an e-mail back~ apologizing, and offering to send the correct one right away. They also offered a full refund. In the end i decided to keep it instead.

PoochieBells Classic Dog Potty Training Doorbell in Warm Gold and Brown, Best Friend Wording

PoochieBells Classic Dog Potty Training Doorbell in Warm Gold and Brown, Best Friend WordingWhile you could make your own set of these, these are aesthetically pleasing. Worth the money. Two dogs out of four were using them within a week.

My puppy was always doing her business in the house. Now thanks to her bells she rings them when she has to go potty. No more accidents inside the house :)

Red Dingo Reflective Martingale Dog Collar, Medium

Red Dingo Reflective Martingale Dog Collar, Medium, PurpleThis is the only type collar I will use for most herding dogs. Their head is often times smaller than their neck so this tightens up without chocking. It is usually hard to find in smaller sizes though

Great size, great concept of self tightening as the dog pulls on her leash. Good color and pall around look.

Buy Red Dingo Reflective Martingale Dog Collar, Medium Now

The only things that I can complain about is that this collar isn't quite reflective, the reflective material needs to a lot of light and in the correct angle to illuminate, and that isn't that easy to adjust to your dog's neck.

Italian Basket Muzzle - Size 9 - Black

Italian Basket Muzzle - Size 9 - BlackIf you need a muzzle because your dog is eating items that they shouldn't this is a great muzzle and will save you money and the agony of putting your dog though a very expensive and painful surgery to save the dog's life. I bought a 14 ½" for my four year old male Weimaraner so he can not eat golf balls and golf ball sized rocks when unattended in the yard. This muzzle is light weight and hard for the dog to remove and also allows the dog to open and close their mouth when they would like; however, this muzzle would not work for those of you that would like to stop your dog from barking. This is the first time for my dog to wear a muzzle.

Have tried many muzzles lately and this one does the job...he can still drink, pant, it is light weight and easy to put on. He cannot remove it himself, though he has tried. He is a 100# labrador and I would recommend it to anyone interested in muzzles. Price is also good

Buy Italian Basket Muzzle - Size 9 - Black Now

Our rescue dog is afraid of veterinarians (ours is so great) and groomers. We can't even clean his ears or clip his nails. Part of our plan is this muzzle. We thought he'd be afraid of it, but we put a treat down at the end where the "gate" opens and, after a few tries, our dog let us ease the muzzle on. Repeat. Repeat. He's 75 pounds of muscle at his prime and has powerful jaws. I don't want anyone to get hurt, including him, and this has been a blessing. Be sure to measure properly for the right fit or you'll have to switch sizes.

PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Good Dog Blue Design

PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Good Dog Blue DesignI have a small dog, so she has the option of a pee-pee pad or the great outdoors; therefore, she is not 100% bell trained. However, when she does want to go outside, she does know to nose the bells. Wish I had thought of this with my previous dog who scratched at the door with her nails and caused light damage. The only reason I gave it 4 vs 5 stars is because I'd like to see an adjustable loop on the handle so I could adjust the size (if another dog gave the bells a good bat with a paw, it would slide off the door handle).

These bells work exactly as they said. We had a puppy that was having a few accidents. We bought two sets, one for the front and back door of our house. He learned after about 4-5 days to ring the bells. He now rings them on his own to communicate to us that he needs to go potty. I even take a set with us when we go visit at my mother and father and he rings them there too. I would buy this product again and again!

PureBites Duck Dog Treats, 1.23-Ounce

PureBites Duck Dog Treats, 1.23-OunceMy Golden and Aussie love PureBites especially the duck and turkey. It's nice being able to get a more novel protein source from the brand without breaking the bank (Amazon is a lot cheaper then other online doggy retailors!).

My dogs are alergic to grain so this is the perfect treat for them! A little pricey, but they love the taste and it's actually cheaper then most of the no grain treats out right now.

Karen Pryor i-Click Dog Training Clicker

Karen Pryor i-Click Dog Training Clicker, 3 ClickersI got this set of 5 clickers so that I would haveonein every room in my 3-room apartment! Oh, I keep one in my pocket as well!

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!!!!

Buy Karen Pryor i-Click Dog Training Clicker Now

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.

Want Karen Pryor i-Click Dog Training Clicker Discount?

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.

Dog Pet Pen Playpen CLS-960 Small - Pink w/Top

Dog Pet Pen Playpen CLS-960 Small - Pink w/TopI love this crate! It's gorgeous! Looks way better than the black crates or silver crates/kennels.

It's a perfect fit for my Bichon's height. Some Bichons and other small dogs are climbers though, so it may be possible for them to climb out. It's about 3 feet high, though, so it's not that easy to climb out of. It looks awesome. I do wish the seller offered a top for it. I see in the picture on my item it shows a label with an optional top. I can't read the language so I don't know what it says or how I can get a top. I would love to get one, just in case my dog tries to get out, jump over, or climb over it.

The white fencing part is metal and very strong. The white bottom is like the regular kennels that you see in the store which are plastic, but a little better quality than the black flooring in the regular kennels. But the pink posts are plastic. I am trying to think of a way to describe the plastic. It is like plastic on a toy. It's not that I think it is weak, but I just thought the pink part was going to be like the resin on slides at the kids' park. It's not. If you bang the plastic against something hard or hit it with a hammer it will shatter in pieces. I don't like that it's cheap plastic on the posts, but would I return it? No way! It looks awesome! If your dog is calm and a smaller breed, then it will be fine. But if you have a german shepherd puppy, this kennel is not strong enough for it for sure!

Still I give it 5 stars because the company shipped it right away, it is new, looks exactly as the picture you see (minus the water bottle, pink bed, and training pad holder) and it looks cute cute cute!! Even my adult male Bichon went in it because he liked it so much! Lol.

I love the pink playpen. It gives lots of room for our maltese to play in but she was able to jump out.

I'm not sure if the mesh roof will keep her in. It is an attractive playpen vs the metal crates.

It did arrive very promptly and we added the water bottle to the side.

Dog Pet Pen Playpen CLS-960 Small Pink. Item arrived in huge box totally in Chinese. Worse, extensive assembly instructions of 30-40 pieces were in Chinese. In addition, bars were too far apart for my tiny puppy and she could have gotten stuck. I was told only way to return was by paying $20-25 (on a $69 item). Seller would not provide prepaid UPS label so I could have box picked up as it was too heavy to carry and would not fit in my car to return by USPS mail as seller demanded. Amazon's guarantee was of no help as it only reinforced seller's policies. BEWARE this seller and its hidden policies and total lack of customer service. Wag.com pays all postage for returns, provides a label and timely credit and also provides all assembly instructions in English. This was my worst experience purchasing an item from an internet seller and I have purchased hundreds of items.

Love it!

The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because of my initial impression of the product. It came in a box from china without a scratch of English on the box or the instructions and the corners are made with a fragile looking plastic.

But once assembled I was truly amazed. I love it and highly recommend it. My yorkie loves it as it is not confining as the traditional pens and there is no zipper that breaks or get stuck as in the newest fad in pet pens (which I had and highly discourage anyone from buying). Also it is very attractive looking and I actually receive compliments on as it is in my living room.

Bark Off Ultrasonic Training Aid

Bark Off Ultrasonic Training AidI've had it for a couple of weeks and a couple of thoughts on how to get better results from this. Used properly, it's a good training tool.

First, I would not leave it running 24/7. For those who do, you'll have very short battery life which might account for people saying that it stopped working after a couple of days. Also, since any noise will trigger the device you may be barraging your dog with a very confusing training message when it goes off from noise from the television while your dog is completely silent. If there isn't a cause/effect, the device will be worthless. It's also cruel to leave it on constantly when other noises easily trigger the device, as there's no reason to be subjecting your dog to this for any extended period of time. It clearly affects some dogs, which is why we're reading stories of dogs cringing in a corner perfectly understandable, if this thing is going off constantly when your dog isn't barking.

I have Pomeranians who barked hysterically when someone came to the door or when I was about to let them outside. Using this device, I ended this behavior in less than a week. Simple when the barking started, I switched on the device for 5-10 seconds. This stopped the barking. If it started again, I'd switch it on for another 5-10 seconds. After a few days all I had to do was display the device without turning it on at all and the barking stopped. Not all dogs are as sensitive to it as mine are, so your mileage may vary. But the instructions that come with this device are simply wrong and a misuse of it (and almost an abuse of your dog when it's so easily triggered by noise ANY noise). Use it manually when it's appropriate to do so and you'll not only greatly extend your battery life but you'll get good results from it.

My frisky, intelligent dog was turned into a neurotic, whimpering animal within an hour of this product being turned on. She went to the farthest corner of the house and crawled into the corner to escape it's possible continuous sound.

How does a human know if it ever turns off? You can't hear it.

With Bark Off on, my dog would not even enter the house or be tempted with treats. This is a poor quality product. Money can't replace the damage this Bark Off has done to my pet. It was only turned on (without my knowledge) for a few evening hours. I had no idea what had traumatized my dog so. If you need a product like this, don't be cheap. Spend a few dollars and get one that at least lights up when on so YOU know it is working. By all means observe your dogs behavior and avoid tormenting them. This Bark Off item is not for pet lovers.

By the way, she never barks anymore.

Not even to greet me......

As stated in the title: It's a great product. I'm tired of reading bad reviews by people who can't even spell correctly. I don't care if you're an engineer and took the product apart. I'm a retired engineer and realize there is no such thing as zero defects. You have the opportunity to return defective merchandise for refund or replacement. The one I received worked as soon as I turned it on, and yes my dog stopped barking and ran to the far corner of my home. With a little coaxing she came back into the room and found out the sound was no longer there which is proof that the device turns off. She hasn't barked since, but I will monitor her reaction to the Bark Off the next time she barks. I'm willing to bet that she won't bark as much as she did before I received the Bark Off. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this product after seeing favorable reviews on the web, I did not know I could go to Amazon.com and rate a product. I spent $30.00 for the product, one regular and one of the platinum ones (BYGO) and $30.0 for postage (they got me on that big time). At first I thought it was working, my collie barked once and stopped and I'm thinking how great this is, I can sleep at night. My collie does not bark in the house unless the neighbors yippy dogs start barking but I also have a small yippy dog and this did not stop her at all. Nor did it stop my daughters 2 dogs that live next door from barking at my horse at 5 am. I hope these reviews help someone else to save their money.

As the owner of two one-year-old Chihuahua boys, I definitely needed something to train these yappers to stop yapping at ordinary sounds. The Bark Off arrived quickly and worked well at first. My dogs stopped immediately after hearing the sound. Now, I have to rattle it or blow in the little hole on the device for it to emit a sound. The adverts are misleading because the sound is definitely audible to human ears; it makes a loud "click". I also find that it can't simply be left on because it interprets every sound as a bark and starts to give me a headache and wear out my dogs' ears. All in all, I'm sad to say that this product isn't worth it, but I gave it three stars because it does 'work' just under certain terms.
