Lentek Bark Free Dog Training Device
I now have a dog who is a wonderful neighbor. I've received confirmation from my neighbors (others, it turns out, had been too polite to say anything) that my dog has been silent during the day since installing the device. It's been fantastic. I notice, too, that she doesn't feel the need to bark uncontrollably when the bell rings, when she hears another dog, or when she hears just about anything anymore.
Know that I was concerned about whether containing her will to bark amounted to some sort of cruelty. I understand that my dog is a dog, and part of a dog's life is barking. In a perfect world, she would bark here and there and be done with it, and my neighbors wouldn't mind. In my world, however, she was a nuisance. She still knows how to bark. We take walks and she has her fill. But when she's at home now, she behaves in a way I was never able to train her.
Know that my dog is a shih tzu mix and I use the ultrasonic setting. I seem to recall that reviews were generally favorable for smaller dogs, so this may just be consistent with that. Regardless of your situation, though, if you have a problem with your dog barking indoors (which is the only way I've been able to test this device), you ought to try seeing whether this works. For me, it has worked 100%.
Now I'm off to buy another. I'm hopeful it works for my dad's yapping beast as well.

I have had one of these for about three years now. It has helped! The dog figures out to bark a little quieter so she doesn't set it off. I now put it on audible because the neighbor won't do anything about his dog barking so when his dog barks and sets it off he hears the sound of the Bark Free and he doesn't like it, so he has actualy been trying to keep it somewhat quiet. That works for me! It doesn't stop them completely but it has made a significant difference here...Read Best Reviews of Lentek Bark Free Dog Training Device Here
I was skeptical. I have a Yorkie who has been barking at every passerby and loud truck for nine years. It used to be cute but now we have a four month old who is not able to nap because of the barking. He was exhausted from all of the constant waking. My dog is too small for one of the collars so I was looking for a device to plug into the wall. I looked through a bunch of these online and finally chose this one. I plugged it in and our dog barked for ten minutes straight. By that night, she no longer was barking at anything at all. One week later she occassionally barks at things that really upset her, but usually only one bark and not very often. My child can finally nap and I feel like my dog is not suffering. She is her happy self but just much quieter. This may not work for every dog based on the reviews I read, but it certainly is working for mine.Want Lentek Bark Free Dog Training Device Discount?
With three dogs in the house, there is always something that sets one off barking. The other two dogs always follow the chorus. We tried every training method we could find, (sorry Ceasar) but could never get permanent control. Put one in our entryway, where the dogs always congregated in chaos when someone came to the door, and it worked! Two of the dogs, a maltese and a terrier, silenced immediately. The Yorkie was a little more hard headed, and barked through it the first couple of times. Which annoyed the two dogs that were silent. Still, the Yorkie has figured out that a low bark or growl is better than setting the "Bark Free" off.Eventually, the Dogs figured out that there was one part of the house where they could bark and not trigger the sound. Just bought our second one to cover that side of the house too. The new one quieted the dogs on the first bark.
For us, it was worth the money.

PetSafe ScatMat Sofa 60" x 12" Mail Order
I was worried about using a shock deterrent, but drastic measures needed to be taken. The shock from the 9V battery is not awful (I've stepped on it many times), but it's enough to let them know they are going somewhere they shouldn't.
The dimensions of this scat mat were not listed by the seller and I think that would be useful. I was surprised by how long and skinny it was because the picture made it seem wider.
Overall this was a great purchase. It's for those of us who have full-time jobs and need help with training. I'm happy to work with them when I'm home, but need to keep reinforcing it when I'm out.

Lupine Designer Dog Lead
What has turned me into a customer for life for Lupine is their replacement guarantee. I originally bought a leash and collar when my dogs were puppies -fuzzy bundles of chewing teeth. I was crate training them and would leave the collars on while they were in their crates. Don't ask me how but one of my dogs had this incredible talent for chewing the collar off. Lupine replaced it no questions asked. It happened again. They did it again. By this point, I caught a clue and no longer left the collar on my dog while unattended.
However, there aren't many companies that will stand behind their product like Lupine does -even when their customers are not the most clueful people in the world. When I would email them, they were always incredibly friendly and it was a personalized response.
In essence, if you buy one Lupine leash, that is the only leash you will ever need to buy because Lupine will stand behind it. However, in reality, because customer service like this is so hard to find (not to mention the leashes and collars are so nice compared to others out there), you want to continue to support the company by purchasing more collars throughout the years.
I can't recommend these leashes and the company enough!If you have a dog that chews, Lupine leads are a must. Three days after receiving my order from Amazon, my 1-year-old English Setter mix chewed straight through this lead. After realizing what she had done, I sent the chewed lead to Lupine and received a new lead free of charge within three days. She's on her second lead now and is doing much better with the nervous-chewing issue but I can rest assured that if she does chew through this one, Lupine will replace it quickly, free of charge, and with no questions asked.
This is one of the best leads I have ever owned (and I've owned quite a few), hands down. The handle is comfortablethe padding makes it easy for me to hold it with no burns or bruises from plastic or nylon handles which is a first. It is easy to slip onto a harness, even in cold weather and the lead itself seems to be made from quality materials. I also love the print, even if it is a little girly.
Bottom line, buy this lead, especially if you have a dog who likes to chew.

This is my 4th or 5th lupine product that I've bought over the years. The only reason why I even bought another leash was because the other one I had was only 4 feet (it was the only size my vet carried at the time) and I didn't know about the 6'. I really do like the extra length in the 6 footer compared to the 4 footer. Also I like that it matches the collar I bought even though that was years ago.The lupine products have sat outside in the Florida heat and tropical storms. They'be been washed in the washing machine and dried in the dryer. No complaints--not even a loose stitch. Great product at a good price :)I love Lupine leashes and collars. They are high quality and have a lifetime guarantee even if chewed! Can't beat that!!!After getting tired of buying leads from the big box pet stores, only for them to fail/tear apart, I decided to try Amazon. The Lupine Leashes are of the same material as many of the leads you'll find at your local pet stores/Wally Mart. The lead is of a two piece construction, black material looped with a metal latch to the lead, the 3/4 and 1" thick leads have a real easy to latch clip for attaching the lead to the collar. Where as the 1/2" thick lead has the standard thumb pull/press latch. The difference between this lead and all others is the warranty/guarantee; LIFETIME, even if you have a pet who chews through the leash! You can go to lupinepet dot com, they have the guarantee on the bottom of their page, you just mail them the old broken lead (or collar), then they'll ship it back to you. I haven't had the luxury of having to return one, their products seem very well made. The added knowledge of where it's made allows you to feel better as all of Lupine products are made in New Hampshire, (USA).

We bought this crate to use for traveling with our Golden Retriever puppy. It works wonderfully. She had no problem getting used to it (at home we have a wire crate). While I would not use this for a full time at-home crate, especially for a chewing puppy, it works wonderfully for us traveling. We used it both in our vehicle and in our camper. It folds up easily when not in use. I like the zipper top opening for dropping in a treat or toy without having to unzip the side door.Monday, October 14, 2013

Wiggles Wags & Whiskers Freedom No-Pull Harness Training Package
This harness was recommended to us by our obedience school and I couldn't be happier!! I never thought we could convince our large breed puppy not to pull....this harness was the answer!

My dog trainer recommended this one because my dog is so rambunctious and because he was hard to control. It is so much more fun to take him for a walk, now that he doesn't pull. The two-tone design helps me get the harness on easily because it can be a little complicated to figure out. Also, I really like that it is handcrafted in the USA.Read Best Reviews of Wiggles Wags & Whiskers Freedom No-Pull Harness Training Package Here
I'm training a sweet young pit bull to walk on a leash. She wouldn't tolerate the Gentle Leader, which for me, is the gold standard for eliminating pulling and controlling your dog when she sees a squirrel/dog/insert-your-dog's-craziness-trigger-here. So I tried the Easy Walk (didn't fit right and chafing was a big problem) and now the Freedom Harness.Pros: The Freedom harness is well-made and attractive. The velvet straps are not a luxury but necessary to avoid serious chafing. Once you get the hang of it, it's not hard to put on. The advantage of any harness over a collar is reducing stress and injury to the neck this girl can pull so hard sometimes I thought she'd choke herself. And compared to a collar, the Freedom harness does increase my control when she lunges after a squirrel or other fascinating thing.
Cons: As far as I can tell, this harness simply does not significantly reduce pulling. When she's not trying to chase something, my dog can walk pretty well on a leash, so I just have to control her when she goes after an animal. Although I have more control with this harness than with a regular collar, it is still not easy to control her if she really goes after something. The level of control is NOTHING like the Gentle Leader, which can turn her head away from the trigger. And if she's in a pulling mood, this harness seems to do nothing to deter her.
Bottom line: If your dog has occasional pulling problems and can't tolerate the GL, I recommend the Freedom Harness over other "no-pull" harnesses. But for determined pullers, there's nothing like the GL If your dog can tolerate it.

I have two of these harnesses for my dogs. In both cases, the harness was inadvertently left on them alone. In both cases, the dog did bite out of them and the company (Wiggles, Wags, & Whiskers) replaced the harness without question. The harness itself works well. I prefer it for them as the dogs respond more quickly to a pull on their chest over the typical neck collar. I have to admit that I do not use both rings very often as the ring between the shoulder blades works very well alone but the harness did come with a leash that can attach to the front of their chest and between the shoulder blades. When I used the harness in that setup, the dogs did not leave my side at all.Monday, August 26, 2013

Bil-Jac Premium Liver Treats for Dogs
What I like most about these is the price. They are very reasonable. So I stock up on them whenever I can especially because these treats don't last very long in my house, so I am always buying more.
If you are ever looking for something just like these, the tractor supply store has a similar brand called "retriever". They are the same as these, just a little smaller and are a good price like these too. I buy both of them whenever I can, especially when I see them go on sale because dog treats are not cheap!My pet sitter first introduced me to this. My dogs love it, of course, but I found out that my cats do too. They line up at night to get their piece of Bil-Jac before bed. It is the only dog treat I have seen them eat, and they seem to have no problem with it.

Bil Jacs are fanastic treats. If you keep them in a zip loc bag, they stay moist, and are perfect for smooshing into Kongs or shin bones or other treat holders. I've never had my dog refuse Bil Jac, and she is very picky! It's a great product and not expensive.This is a nice healthy treat for large dogs without the worry of added chemicals or junk stuff dogs don't need. And chicken livermost dogs love!
