Wizdog Indoor Dog Potty

Wizdog Indoor Dog PottyThe Wizdog concept is a great idea. It has the potential to be perfect for me and my dog.The problem is the grate is made of a hard flimsy crackable plastic with jagged edges! I cannot understand why they've chosen such an inappropriate plastic for the grate. It will bend and crack just by holding it in your hand. It is impossible to clean it daily without it breaking. I have replaced the grate and the same thing happened again. It is actually stressful trying to handle it without it breaking. Even before it breaks, the plastic has jagged edges that can hurt a pups paw. When it cracks it can be downright dangerous. I contacted the company last year and they said they were working on redesigning it. One year later they have not. I wonder how many dogs they have hurt. You will waste your money if you purchase this product prior to them redesigning the grate with a better plastic.

Our 4 month old puppy is paper trained. So when we got the Wizdog 2 weeks ago we put the puppy pad on the blue box, without the grid just so he can get used to the base. No we started adding the grid and he refuses to go on it and ends up peeing on the floor next to it! I don't know if it's the smell of the plastic or what, but it's not working well.

I love my Wizdog because it eliminates puddles on the floor that sometimes happen when my dog gets too close to the edge of her papers. The tray contains all urine, keeping it off the floor. It's so easy to clean up, and it keeps her feet and long fur clean!!! I just pick up poop with toilet paper and flush it as soon as possible because it can get stepped on and mashed into the grate. But this hardly ever happens with my dog. I'm considering buying a second one for another level of our home!

We used this on our puppy. We were living in a condo and our puppy couldn't hold it long enough to go down the elevator (of course!). We were using puppy pads, but he would step on the urine and poop especially when we praised him afterwards, he would get excited and just mess it all up. To top it off, he would run to the puppy pad, but would go on a corner of the pad and get urine all over the floor. We couldn't fault him for trying though!

With the wizdog, he knew exactly where to go! I think it was helpful it was raised a bit so he knew where the boundary of it was, so he would usually run to the center of it and go!

We would use the puppy pads underneath the grate and it would be easy cleanup. Couple things to watch for -sometimes the poop gets stuck in the grid, so it's a bit of a hassle to clean if it goes into the grate, so keep a toilet brush handy. Second tip, if you put it on top of a floor that's slippery (we placed our on top of tile), our puppy would run to it, and it would slide, so we ended up putting those non-slip mats underneath to prevent the wizdog from sliding.

We used this for a good 3-4 months until we knew for sure our dog could hold it longer, and we transitioned him to going potty outside. This was a great transitionary help for us!!!!

This was a total waste of money. My pomeranian was very uncomforable with the grating because she has small paws. Newspapers don't fit into the plastic container if I want to use it w/o the grates which, of course, defeats the entire purpose. It was $50 thrown away.

Jungle Talk Talk 'N Play Phone - Large Bird

Jungle Talk Talk 'N Play Phone - Large BirdWatch Buddy at play with one of these little gadgets, and you'll see that the bird forgets about everything else in the world, just for those few moments. Buddy gets rough with it, and he eventually broke the mirror on one of them, but the mirror is plastic, not glass, so I don't see a problem there. The only danger I would anticipate would be if you mount the toy to the side or top of a cage, because the vigorous grabbing and playing could cause the toy to swing back and hit the bird. I decided to leave the phone loose to prevent that happening. It's hard to tell whether Buddy hates it with a passion or if he is just playing. Birds do get totally involved in games just as kids do, and Buddy's feathers display the same way when we are playing tug of war with old socks or old feathers, or even playing catch with socks.

My African Grey loves this thing... For the beating it takes it's holding up very well. It can be a bit obnoxious so I don't leave it in his cage 24/7

ROSCOE, my big male blue and gold macaw, is a large male bird and destroys any toy he gets. Immediately, he loved this toy because of the large buttons, flashing lights, and pre-recorded sounds/phrases: HELLO!; I LOVE YOU!; [laughing sounds]; and another phrase we can't understand. However, the first thing ROSCOE did is to try to split the toy in two, which he successfully would have until I stopped him. Thus, my advice for customers with large and strong parrots, including macaws, is to watch and monitor playtime with this VERY COOL toy -because, while it is designed for large parrots with its big buttons, it can be easily cracked in half like a big red nut. Right now, ROSCOE is calling to me so that I will play with the new toy again -he loves it!

POST SCRIPT [THREE DAYS LATER]: My macaw broke off the mirror and then yanked out the inner wiring within two minutes of unmonitored playtime. This toy is broken and now in the trash, but it was fun for three days. WAS IT WORTH EIGHT DOLLARS?!

I actually bought this for one of my 3 parrots and they are all fighting over it. So of course I ordered 2 more!! (on its way) I have in the past bought children's toy phones but they are boring to my parrots. As with ALL parrot toys, yes you need to monitor them while they play with it. My birds just love to smack the heck out of the phone but some may try to chew it up. I am happy with this product.

Venture Series Additional Training Collar

PetSafe Venture Series Big Dog Add-A-Dog Receiver Collar, PDT00-11952This is an upgraded, and downsized Yard and Park collar. I use it on my clients dogs ,and it works ok.I use about three collars a month.

The recharge pins are very small! and the second time I tried to plug it in, no go, use a tweezers to fix.

I like the yard and park becuase I can hear the tone button, on this collar only the dog can hear it.These are line of sight collars, if the dog has his butt to you the collar does not get the signal, I want to be sure I have called the dog with sound before I punish. so I miss the noisy button.

The on /off button is touchy, a client and I spent 15 mins trying to get the collar on, again a cheap collar.

My old yard and parks re bigger, heavier and out of date, but the clients like the big on /off, sound and the roll dial. If the yard and park comes back down to $150, its the better collar for a dog over 20 lbs.

Under 20 lbs , thi is s a lighter collar.

Yard and park has a great one year warrenty, no warrenty on this collar.

This collar charges in 4 hours, YP in 7-8. Do not over charge the collar! or the handset!

I was told by the sales clerk that the reviews werent that great for this product, but I went ahead and got it anyway knowing that I could give it back if it sucked.

But it was exactly what I was looking for. I had been training my dogs best I can, but sometimes they just needed a nudge for them to pay attention to me. & this is exactly that.

Your dog should already be familiar with the commands, this just enforces it, when you aren't close enough to do it yourself.

Now I can take them on walks in the neighborhood, without leashes, their happy, I'm happy.

About the battery life: they last pretty long, I think it's been 2-3 weeks since I last charged the collars, thats with daily usage couple times a day. Now I'm pretty good about turning them off when not in use. I wish that the collars didnt have to be manually shut on & off, but maybe their future products will have that feature.

The add on collar is great, the remote is setup to have 1 side for 1 dog, and other side for other dog.

Great product, worth the money esp since the alternative was obedience school which is way more expensive.

This works very well. I have a dog that barks at people and dogs and run to them. He also gets nervous and barks in the car. I used this collar to train him (make sure to use it correctly zap your dog when he doesn't listen to you, not when he does something he is not supposed to do) and worked immediately. He was smart to listen to me whenever he has his collar on (and when he knows it's on!), but soon he figured out how to sort of turn it off..He started shaking his neck so that the it doesn't touch his skin properly. Once he shakes his neck, it doesn't work any more. If you have a smart dog, you need to be smarter than your dog.

I really love the PetSafe brand collars. I had some trouble keeping the collar on, at first. It did finally start to work right and I've had no problems with it since.

I loved how fast this collar came. It actually got to me about a week faster than my other PetSafe collar I ordered at the same time!

Simple Solution Original Training Pads 400 pk (8x50pk)

Simple Solution Original Training Pads 400 pkYes pee pads. For the dog. They don't leak. They don't stain. They don't do anything they aren't supposed to do. And my dog likes em.

I foster dogs and these wee wee pads have been a lifesaver. They are larger in size and more absorbent than any of the others I've tried. Great product, good price. What more can you ask for.

Double UGODOG Indoor Dog Potty

Double UGODOG Indoor Dog PottyI bought 2 trays with the connector. My dogs just love it! and so do I, because is very easy to clean. I placed in my balcony and use a pee-pee pad underneath the screen to absorb the urine and I only change it every other week.

Great product!

Pros:

1.Came as described

2. Fits dog pads nicely inside.

Cons: My dog hates it and avoids using it.

Other Thoughts: I could more then likely have trained my dog to use this with more effort, but for my situation using normal pads until house training was complete made more sense as she hated it so much. If your dog is going to use this forever, as in you aren't training it to go out, it will would be worth the extra time to train it.

Pish Pad

Pish PadI have been using Pish Pads for my puppies and show dogs since 2005. I bought a 5 yd. roll and cut it into pieces. I am still using the original roll and have since bought a second roll. They have been washed over and over again and still look as good as the day I bought them. I hang them outdoors to dry and when weather prohibits, I throw them in the dryer. I also use bleach occassionally (although not recommended) and they haven't faded at all. I have tried many of the training pads available and none of them are comparable to the Pish Pad. I was frustrated with other training pads that my puppies would drag around the room or worse yet, shred to pieces. Thanks to the 'stay-put' backing, the Pish Pad stays in one place. The 3 layer construction allows the urine to be quickly absorbed and yet the middle layer keeps it from leaking through and onto the floor. While the initial purchase was pricey, over time they have more than paid for themselves. I did hear someone complain of experiencing them separating, so when I cut them, I stiched all the way around them. Not one of mine has any edges that are separated. If you're not sure, they come in smaller pieces so you can try them yourself. I have found them absolutely the best!

We have 2 Havanese dogs that use these pads daily when we are not home. They last and hold up to washing them in the washer and then hang dry. We use HE detergent, oxy clean, and they do not stink and are holding up just great. Have been using them for almost a year now. We have not had any issues with the pads peeling a part. The only bad thing about them is the price.

Buy Pish Pad Now

I bought this item for my elderly dog for when I am away. They claim to be washable and the blue liner pulls away from the pad. The pad holds liquid but too pricey for the length of time they can be reused. Had my roll for only a month. Don't bother with this product.

Chasing Our Tails Venison Liver Dehydrates Dog Treats. 100% Farmed and Made in the USA! Naturally Gr

Chasing Our Tails Venison Liver Dehydrates Dog Treats. 100% Farmed and Made in the USA! Naturally Grain and Gluten Free.I use treats for obedience and agility classes. I need a treat that is not crunchy, but chewy and capable of breaking up into small bits. This product is easily broken up...too easily. It reminds me of a thin layer of chocolate but does not melt as such. The selling point is the natural dehydration, rather than freeze dried. I did not find it useful for my purpose.

Our dog loves this. There is a small amount of meat, which disappointed, but apparently it is delicious. It would be nice to increase the volume of the contents so that it might last as a special treat for more than a week. Pricey but nice.

Ultrasonic Bark Free

Ultrasonic Bark FreeMy husband and I just moved into our new house in October. The dog next door barked every morning at 6 am and other times throughout the day. My neighbors are good people going through a health crisis, and we did not want to complain to them. I saw this device online, and I noticed a lot of the other bark free devices had mixed reviews. But what attracted me to this one, in addition to the price, was that it was hard wired, and I would not have to worry about batteries running out. We were going pretty crazy with the early morning barking. The dog could bark for hours on end for no apparent reason. We tested the Bark Free inside. You can set the tone so that humans can hear it to make sure it is working. Then I mimicked a dog bark. And the device turned on. It stayed on for a few seconds after my bark ceased. The test button on top of the device is an easy way to see if it is working and always beeps at human hearing range. There is also a light that indicates that it is on. Next, we attached the device right outside of our garage door, under the cover of the roof overhang and ran the cord through the door. (Best to place the Bark Free under cover, as the cover they provide is just a piece of plastic.) We placed the Bark Free an easy 25 feet from where the dog barks most of the time. (This Bark Free device has a 25 foot range, so if the barking dog is further away, you may want to get another device) The dog barked at us while we were setting it up. Then came time to plug it in. My husband plugged it in while I waited outside. The minute it was plugged in, the dog barked once, and then immediately ran inside the pet door, and didn't come out for the rest of the day. I set the device on the least sensitive setting, since I was worried about other noises setting it off. It works well at this setting. Since then, the dog occasionally barks, but the barks are short, and not very annoying, not like the prolonged barking of before. I have slept well since this device was installed. It is well worth the price. I assume that, just like humans, not all dogs hear the same, and some might not be affected by the high pitched tone. However, this dog was, and harmony has been restored.

The ultrasonic blast does annoy dogs and stop the barking; however, the microphone does not pick up the barking and activate the sound = a product less useful than a hand held one would be. The only time those yapping mutts stop ius if manually activate the device. I read good reviews and in retrospect figure they were written by the manufactuer. DON'T BUY THIS1

Simple Solution Disposable Liners Light Absorbency 22 Count

Simple Solution Disposable Liners Light Absorbency 22 CountThese should say they are womens' pantylines. Because that is ALL they are, and cheap thin ones at that. Save your money.

Like the previous poster mentioned, these are glorified pantyliners. They don't hold urine very well at all. I use regular nighttime maxis for my doggie diapers now, and they work perfectly and keep the urine from soaking through to the diaper.

Save your money and spend it on normal overnight maxis.

These are a total waste of money. I have a little dog who likes to mark in the house, so I bought the small male dog diaper and these liners from Simple Solutions. The liners are so small that you'd need x-ray vision to get them lined up right when your dog wears the diaper. I don't, so the fabric got wet, and totally defeated the purpose of having liners. I ended up using two at a time just to use them up. I can't imagine what would happen if someone whose dog wears bigger than a small diaper tried to use these. Ugh. My advice? Go on eBay and see how many people are out there making and selling male dog belly wraps that don't need liners. You can get several for the price of one Simple Solution male dog diaper and they're custom made!

I felt like a total idiot when I opened this package. The diaper liners look like regular panty liners you can buy in the feminine hygiene department of any store for $1. I am not really disappointed with the product itself, more so with myself for not realizing this before paying almost $10 dollars for this item.

I used this for my 15yr old lab Bailey who has since left me sadly in October of 2011. This was the best thing I came across to use for his little drip issue we were having. I just remodeled and I wanted to be comfortable and I wanted him to be comfortable as well. Bailey knew he had an issue as he tried constantly to clean up after himself, I started using this and he was so much happier! Now a few pointers!!

The pads are not worth the money!! They are not very absorbent, They do not stick well at all and if they get a tad damp forget it they fall off, they crunch up in the wrap making them useless and more expensive the female products soooooo...

I used Poise Ultra Absorbent people pads inside and they were fantastic VS the Simple Solutions pads which sadly were terrible and a total waste of money. Simple Solution pads are just over priced expensive Kotex pads that could not handle the amount of urine that can occur unlike the Poise pads, remember this is what Poise pads are used for. You should get the ones that fit how much you dog drips so it may take some experimenting my dog was large so mine were the most absorbent I could get. Great thing is you can get them in-store and on sale almost anywhere!

I bought baby wipes to wipe him down and keep him clean, remember it is the same concept as a baby wearing a diaper and sitting in it, I didn't want to risk any infection. No alcohol!

Make sure you measure your dog, to tight can cause a lot of chafing!! Mine was the right size but I ended up sewing micro-fiber cloth on the elastic part where the material scrunched up as this was causing chafing behind his manly area. He was not use to anything rubbing his skin in that area and the material is pretty stiff. I had to leave it off till it healed and sadly I never had the chance to see if the microfiber would have relieved the problem. Make sure you check your dog to make sure this is not occurring due to some dogs have a higher tolerance to pain. It would be great if they could use a softer material in the elastic area. I wish they were a tad cheaper in price, I did purchase one at Petsmart and the other on Ebay for a fraction of the cost, if you don't mind used(they are washed!!) it's a deal! I would recommend but def do some shopping as they are not cheap!

New PetSafe Yard and Park Dog Training Collar

New PetSafe Yard and Park Dog Training CollarWe were extremely satisifed with this product (the one for large dogs) and have recommended it to our friends and family. We had occassion to purchase the product when a very young and large lab type looking dog (turned out to be a Scottish deer hound and german shepard mix) appeared at our door step. We were unable to identify or find his family and because of his sweet nature decided to keep him. It turned out that even without any training on our part, he was truly a working dog. We were having a horrible time with foxes and a coyote killing our free range fowels. Harmon would stay with the girls the entire day, wandering about the yard and pastures with them, keeping all predators away. However, the coyote became more and more bold and when it finally got too close, Harmon took off giving chase to it and failed to respond to our frantically trying to call him back. We tried to find him but to no avail. Fortuneately, we received a call from a young lady, who lived more than 2 miles away, about 30 minutes later saying that she had found him and that he had still been chasing the coyote. They had crossed over at least two busy roads. We then purchased this product on the advice of another friend and found that it solved the problem immediately and completely. We have had to use the shock no more than 3-4 times and Harmon can still chase predators up to 500 yards, which he seems to really enjoy, and we can keep him safe at home by simply beeping him.

Our dog is part chocolate lab and part timberwolf, at around 1 year old his aggressive nature started dominating his moods so we spent weeks researching safe collars that we could use without feeling guilty that we were hurting him. We got this on sale for $130 and it was the best thing we could have done, on top of the training he already had, just setting this to 1 or 2, which is probably something that wouldnt even hurt a teacup chihuahua, he would immediately snap out of it.

We also used it to train him to be off a leash, you have to hold the shock button through 3 beeps before it will shock, and since he was already used to the collar, if he would run off or run to people to play with them, after 1 or 2 beeps he would immediately focus back on me and stop his bad behavior.

very great product, would recommend to anyone having dog behavior problems but would only use as a last resort. Shock settings are very mild up to 4, which feels like a common shock toy, didnt try past that as it was very rarely needed.

Bought the collar 2 years ago, only really had to use it for 6-12 months before he didnt need it anymore

Old Mother Hubbard Mother's Solutions Snacks for Dogs, Soft and Chewy

Old Mother Hubbard Mother's Solutions Snacks for Dogs Soft and Chewy, 5 Calorie, 6-Ounce PouchYes, my pups love these chewy treats and I love the fact that they are made in the USA. I'm currently using them for training treats since they are so popular, and since my pups are still small (13 pounds and 7 pounds) I break them into three pieces. Now this would be a ridiculous thing to do with a big dog, but with the pups it takes them some time to eat even a third (about the size of a Chiclet) because they are chewy.

Made from Chicken, Brown rice, barley flour, cane molasses, vegetable glycerin, chicken liver, gelatin, apples, carrots, salt, phosphoric acid, sorbic acid (as a preservative) mixed tocopherols (also a perservative) glucosamine hydrocholoride, and chondroitin sulfate.

A 10-30 pound dog should get 2 treats/day. This is graduated up to 5 for a dog over 95 pounds.

mom/dog lover

My two shelties are a little overweight, and this is one of the only dog treats that provides any information on calories. These snacks stay soft in their resealable bag or in sealed baggies, have a pleasant but not overwhelming smell that my girls really like, and taste delicious according to my shelties. I appreciate it that they are very easy to break in half or into quarters even with my arthritic fingers and make terrific training treats and rewards that I can be sure are not loaded with calories. I wish more dog foods and snacks provided calorie and nutritional information like the kind on packaged foods for humans.

Bought these for my little Pomeranian so that I could give her lots of treats without making her a little fatty. She's still slim and active and enjoys these treats to no end! One tip I would give is to be sure that you do not let them dry out. If you don't seal the bag perfectly before putting it away they become hard and ashy :( My dog still eats them, obviously, she doesn't care! But she liked them much more when they were soft. This happened as I neared the end of my first bag, so next time I just kept most sealed up and just took out some in a smaller ziplock for more active use. (Since I treated her every day, going to the main package open/closing it was multiple times to risk the whole batch!) Other than that, which isn't really their fault, totally my fault! I recommend these for sure! It's much better than giving your dog human food or high calorie treats they don't need!

My puppy loves these treats. My husband and I sometimes break them up even smaller and that's so easy to do because they are soft. They smell nice and meaty too. I am glad they offer a low calorie option.

If anyone else is worried about their dog gaining weight, this product is a good option and I've also purchased 1/2 calorie treats from another brand. He likes both a lot.

Tip: you can also give dogs some of their daily rationed food as "treats" while training ...if they eat kibble. (My boy eats raw and canned food but he gets kibble or treats like Old Mother Hubbard Snacks during training)

Steel Coated Dog Collar in Teal

Platinum Pets 22-Inch by 4mm Steel Coated Dog Collar, TealThis is just a superb collar at an excellent price point. For training I will always prefer a martingale collar and haven't worked with a choke collar in tht regard in years. However chokes have their value and these are excellent.

The links are huge 4mm so they look great around my bulldogs necks, they're like line backers we have a six year old and an eleven month old puppy. The collar is well made, the links are beautifully even and well finished. Most important the glide of the mechanism is smooth and effortless and releases immediatley.

As for the color it pops like crazy! it's just gorgeous against Elvis's (the puppy) snow white coat but the 26 inch is a bit to long for him so we'll either remove a few links or wait until he growns into it, which atthis rate shouldn't take long. We ordered another one of these collars in black for our oldest "Harley" and it's equally well made and stunning in every way.

These are wonderfully made collars available in a wide assortment of fun and unique colors. The plating by the way is excellent, no chips, cracks or unfinished links. Just terrific collars at a great price. If you have a Prime membership you'll get free two day shipping to boot!

The collar is an awesome teal blue a very beach-like color very cool looking with my dog's auburn coloring. I received it quickly and on time.

Nice product but these run small. I recommend buying the next larger size and remove links if needed. It is also important for people to use these collars properly. They should be used as high up on the neck as possible, NOT down where a regular collar would typically sit. This will assure you are not choking your dog or damaging their larynx. It matters how you put them on. If you walk with your dog on your left, hold the collar and attached leash so it makes a letter "P" not a letter "Q" as you face your dog. Putting the collar on properly will insure that it releases and loosens when you ease up. The collars really should not be called "choke" collars. They only choke when misused. A dog should NEVER be tied up to a choke collar, even if you are just going in somewhere for a minute. They should only be used with a leash, and only by people who know how to use them. It should just barely fit over your dogs head without hurting on the way on. If it is too small it will go on but be very hard to take off and may hurt your dog's ears on the way off. Remember this is not a device to help you win a tug of war with your dog. It is a device to alert your dog that you do not like what she is doing or about to do. It should be used with a quick tug and release to the side. It is to interrupt their thought process or fixation. For example as you approach a dog coming towards you and your dog is going into an excited or fixated state, give a quick tug towards you to get have your dog focus on you and not the approaching dog. Or if your dog is constantly dropping her head to sniff at everything, especially food scraps you should give a gentle correction as she BEGINS to drop her head. These are great devices to train dogs to know when it is time to "Walk" and when it is okay to sniff or do their "business."
