Slip Leash in Green Size: 4'

Slip Leash in Green Size: 4'Very sturdy & allows me to slip the lead higher up on the neck and thus gently correct with a light tug whenever Frank gets horny & lunges after a distaff mastiff ~ the only thing I would recommend is adding a velcro liner to half of the handle which would allow the walker to keep that hand semi-free, as well ~ very fast delivery & good communication from this seller, highly recommend!!!

Petsafe Elite Big Dog Trainer

Petsafe Elite Big Dog TrainerHad this collar for a couple of years with no problems.Now it beeps constantly I suspect the battery is shot and won't take a charge,no way to replace the battery so Now I have to buy a whole new collar

The concept is great. It REALLY helped discipline a hard-to-train dog.

However, the quality is poor. We actually purchased two (two dogs) and within a month one of the charging connectors was bent. Every time I wanted to charge it, I had to get out a steak knife and straighten the prongs out. They eventually broke off completely and that is how that collar broke.

Also, BOTH collars had problems with the on/off button jamming. After about 2-3 months (with part-time use) I had to jam a pen in the button to turn it on/off. This worked for a few weeks until the pother collar eventually jammed completely and now cannot be turned, that is how the second collar broke.

Overall, incredibly disappointed with the quality. With this price, I expected MUCH better. I am emailing the company today to see if they will replace them (and will update this review). However, I am still concerned because both collars had the exact problems in just a few months. We always made sure the take care of them as this was an investment over our budget. Also, we only used them part-time, I am sure they would have lasted less than 2-3 months with regular use.

Never used training collar before for my dogs. Hated the idea of it, but no fences here in the country and lots to hurt a small pup out there. Once the collar was on tight enough (too loose at first because I was being too careful), she got the message. She listens to all of her commands much better (without wearing the collar) and has ALWAYS come back after a buzz and most of the time before with just a command. This is huge. We can keep our dog safe and can go back to leash-free play! On the negative side: The collar seems to need to be charged far more often than the directions suggest.

We purchased this in hopes to help calm our dogs down. They are great dog, but still have a lot of "puppy" in them. I mostly use the "beep" feature, that's enough to make the dogs realize that we do not like their current action. The remote and the collar stay well charged, they stay charged for over a week.

It worked great with my dog. I have a very stubborn doberman and it has worked wonders with him using this collar.

Tinkle Belts

Tinkle BeltsI purchased this for my dog in order to deter inside 'marking'. I measured his torso so I had the correct size. Once I put it on him it would slip down after a period of time. I also purchased little pants (different company) that are attached by velcro. These work much better and actually stay on throughout the night.

I got this for my standard poodle who dribbles pee in the house. It fits his waist fine but is a little narrow, so it slides up or down after a while and he has managed to pee around it a few times; you have to adjust it every now and again to make sure it's covering everything. I wish it had a larger area on the bottom to accommodate the belt moving around, but otherwise it's perfect. It's not bulky or ugly, my dog doesn't mind having it on at all so it must be fairly comfortable, and it's very simple to wash.

I would recommend this product to anyone who has a dog who marks or dribbles in the house; it does it's job very well and is designed nicely.

Seller is great also; there was a shipping error which caused my order to be delayed by a few weeks but the seller was very polite and sent me a second tinkle belt free.

I have a 3 year old Maltese, who was tinkling all over my house. Ever since he got his tinkle belt 4 weeks ago, he has only tinkled 3 times in the house. And that, is usually due to someone "fogetting" to put his belt back on when he came inside. I have washed it about 6 times and it is holding up great! Also, he has never been able to get it off and doesn't seem to mind it at all! I am very satisfied.

I have 9 month old weiner dog who is being as stubborn as anything about peeing in the house. I've tried everything even including wee pads (he eats them), doggie diapers (they don't stay on).

After tossing out the last of my area rugs, I found tinkle belts.

I ordered one and ...it's perect.

It stays on (I had to distract him at first so he didn't focus on it, but after about an hour that was it). And it keeps him from just wizzing away. It's like a reminder, "oh, no let's wait".

Thank you, thank you, for designing such an ingenius product!!!

The Tinkle Belt has been a great solution for my Mini Dachshund. He is a great dog but I couldn't break his habit of lifting his leg. I was at my wits end when I found the tinkle belt. He doesn't mind wearing it and it stays on all day. It is easy to take off and put on. It is an affordable solution to this type of problem. I have told friends about it but it appears it only comes in small sizes and I have a friend who would like one for a larger dog.

Thanks for this great product.

Snoot Loop: Medium, Regular, Black

Snoot Loop: Medium, Regular, BlackThis was recommend to me by a trainer. I decided to try it because my dog weighs 75 pounds and sometimes he will jump around on a walk if he sees another dog. I'm very happy with the results. You just need to make the adjustments for the correct fit. With this one they are able to easily open mouth to pant and take treats. My dog now walks better on the leash and if he does jump or pull, he is much easier to manage. I even take my 2 dogs for a walk together now because I feel more confident handling them. In the past I would walk them one at a time. I definitely recommend this product.

I have a 4 1/2 Month old Alaskan malamute. My vet recommend the snoot loop to me. Works great. Make sure to follow the fitting directions. After a week I have seen such a huge improvement that I have decide to get one for my black lab as well. I have tried the gentle leader(didn't have good luck with that) and anti pull harness (worked good but takes time to put on) I have found this very fast to put on and it works great. The first few days was a little tough, she looked like a marlin on a hook. But once she got use to the idea that I was the one taking her for a walk she calmed down. Our multiple daily walks are now very peaceful for both dog and human.

yes it gives *maybe* a little more control but the hassle of fitting is not worth the slight difference. if you have a dog that pulls, go to Larz and get a solid, chiropractic-designed harness, or go with a simple Gentle Leader and you can't go wrong. this snoot loop did NOTHING to hamper the dogs pulling like a plowhorse on leash.

good seller transaction tho, and item as described, new and fast shipping. ty!

Nina Ottosson Wooden Dog

Nina Ottosson Wooden Dog, BrickOur five rescued dogs LOVE this toy! We followed the instructions online for introducing it to them gradually and getting them used to it by making things very easy at first, to boost their success rate, confidence, and interest... Now two of them use it on the "hardest" level and absolutely BEG for the chance to play with their puzzle!

All I have to do is take it out and they recognize it by sight and can't wait to have their turn with their game. I have to put the other four in a closed room while one uses it, and I hear whining until each has had their turn.

And of course, it achieves the desired effect: dogs that are MENTALLY stimulated AND worn out and ready for a nap afterwards!

We also have a plastic Ottosson toy, and a benefit to that one is that it has rubber feet, and only four pieces come out (the others just slide) so it is much easier to put away when finished. Also, the treat holes in this game are smaller, and it's kind of hard to get the treat to stay in the tube while you're inserting the tube into the board. These are human considerations from the dogs' perspective, that one is a bit easy to get the hang of; not so with this challenging toy.

The construction is very good, and stands up to our dogs' sometimes overly-enthusiastic attempts at getting to the treats (they weight between 50 and 75 lbs.)

For treats we use Premier Liver Biscotti and they work very well.

I'd recommend this toy to any of my friends who are owned by dogs and have. Our dogs are our kids, so we value a product that provides them with a means to stimulate their little minds and bodies in a constructive way.

If you have a dog that is destructive due to boredom, this toy is just what you need!

My dog absolutely LOVES this toy. He's a 70lb sheperad/lab mix and works this toy to get treats out. He's not a chewer, which is good, as the product is made from pressed board and wouldn't stand up to a chewer for more than about 10 minutes.

I would have given this 5 stars if:

1) it was only about 30 dollars

2) it had a little more difficulty to get at the treats on the middle layer.

All in all though, if you have a smart dog that needs some entertainment, this is a good product.

4 stars for the cat. I wouldn't recommend it for large dogs. I have a cat and two large dogs. The cat loved this toy and quickly learned to pull the drawer open by pulling on the handle with his paw. The dogs struggled. The handles are small and the drawers are close together. There just isn't much space for them to manuver a drawer open, and if they did manage to get it open they kept shutting it with their noses when they tried to get the treat out. Small dogs with little feet and noses would probably like it just fine.

Fantastic dog toy, you can make it hard or easy, don't slide the covers closed all the way at first, and after your dog gets it there it a small bowl shaped piece you put upside down between the sliders so the dog has to lift it (another spot for a treat), then slide the covers to get the rest of the treats.

I found that lifting the bowl and sliding the first slider was a good challenge for my terrier, but the cover on one side has to be slid the opposite direction as the slider on the other side, and that took her quite a bit longer to understand. Many many hours of enjoyment, and keeping her thinking and challenged keeps her out of trouble.

Great toy for dogs. I'm not using it as described, but am using it to teach my dog scent discrimination (so only one peg gets the food in it). Once the dog gets the idea of how to find the food, this becomes a really fun game. Took about 3 training sessions to get the dog to stop running off with the pegs and to hunt for the food. My dog now goes wild when I pull the toy down and get it out of the box! It's a great way to play with your dog.

PoochPad PoochPant Male Wrap

PoochPad Medium PoochPant Male WrapI have an elderly incontinent dog, so I have tried several male wraps. This one is definitely the best in that the fabric provides more protection against leaking through. Be aware, however, that the sizes do not correspond to the sizing chart. I have a 17-pound Westie, and he needs a medium when his coat is cut short. As he gets closer to grooming time (longer coat), it is almost impossible to close the medium around him.

I love the pads made by poochpads and use them with the plastic tray for one of my female dogs. I tried the female poochpad pants and found them so stiff they were not an option. Thus, I never bothered trying the male version. With five males who mark like crazy I have used cloth male wraps which require an incontinence pad with their heavy piddling. That works, though the material does get wet.

Recently looking online the pictures of the male wrap looked less stiff so I tried one and like it fine. It does get soggy with my males when they are in them for several hours inside but they dry and can be reused a couple of times before I wash them along with the cloth type wraps.

I plan to get a couple more of the poochpad wraps just to eliminate the need to keep buying the drugstore incontinence pads to put into the cloth wraps.

The elastic edges concern me some for the comfort level for the dog and nothing I have tried so far is ideal but this product is a good compromise and the quality of the Poochpad products is quite good.

My black lab-mix was recently paralyzed and tends to "leak" on occasion. The PoochPads work WAY better than the Simple Solution male wrap I initially purchased at a pet retailer. The PoochPads absorb a LOT of urine and stay in place quite well. If your pet needs a little protection, definitely choose this brand.

Suggestion to future customers avoid putting your product in the dryer because of shrinkage. I found that air drying was best.

I previous had another product but this product is much better. The Velcro is strong so the dog cannot easily tear it off. I also have not had any problems with leakage. I have been very satisfied with this product.

Nice product that these are waterproof for my incontinent dog but the medium was too small and the large was too big, so I could not use either. They need more sizes.....

Jones Natural Chews Chatter box 1 pack

Jones Natural Chews Chatter box 1 packThis product is awesome! It's large, covered in soft tissue, and offers a variety of tastes and textures.

I usually buy "moo tubes" for my dog, but these take them to a totally different level.

My puppy, who has a limited attention span, spent about an hour working on this and there's still plenty left to work on!

I definitely recommend this product. It's worth every penny.

I especially like Jones company products since they come individually shrink-wrapped, have a good amount of meat on them, and are hygienic to store and feed.

I will definitely buy these again!
