Pee Whiz- Urine, Stain, Odor Remover & Cleaner- Fresh Apple Breeze- 32oz Spray Bottle

Bought this product a few weeks ago at Petco and it works great! I have (3) dogs and they sometimes

have a 'mishap' and then I have to clean it up. This product works as good as others but SMELLs much

better! I would disregard the previous review if I were you because this is good stuff. I'm writing

this review (even though I didn't initially buy it from Amazon) because I felt the other review was

harsh and unfair. I do a lot of shopping on Amazon and I was looking for a bigger quantity. This comes

in gallons too. That is were I found the other review. A buy of $10.49apx a quart vs $18.00apx a gallon

seems like I found the place to buy!If you still are unsure about this product....just give it a try and

see what YOU think. Don't let anyone scare you away. Life is great, inhale deeply!

The smell from older and newer puppy accidents disappeared. It's a great product to use for general household smells and situations.

They're thin but they get the job done. I really wish they would make these pad with an adhesive so that the wind doesn't keep blowing these over.

PetSafe Yard & Park Remote Dog Trainer, PDT00-12470

Four years ago, I purchased the PDT00-10603 generation of this product and I continue to be an avid consumer of this product. I am pasting my prior review below. But, I would like to provide an update on concerns over cruelty, which I go into with the prior review.

I use the trainer to control my dog during hikes and it works. When I pull it out and place the trainer on the counter, my dog jumps up and barks with excitement. While it charges, she lies down and "baby sits" the charger. This demonstrates, in part, that Tobi does not have any issues with this device or concerns over cruelty. It's a great tool!

------------------------

Subject: Wonderful tool; fixed a critical issue

My wife and I love to hike with our German Shepherd. However, her (the dog) behavior had become an issue. Whenever, she sees another dog or horse, she loses her mind, and we lose control of her. We did not want to resolve ourselves to hike with her on a leash.

Now that we have this device she "comes" on command, and not on the second or third time we call. She comes the first time, and to my hand. Now we can hike with her, and gain control when we see dogs, horses, and those who do not share our enthusiasm for dogs.

I like to add this devise is not cruel in any form. It has a dial of 8 settings. I tried it on myself. I could not feel "1" at all. "2" and "3" tingled. "4" felt uncomfortable (not painful), and that is where our dog is set.

The only issue is at home. We have an "invisible fence", which works on a very similar principle. The issue is that when I "beep" her or "zap" her at home, she becomes very confused. Hence, we only use it primarily for our hikes, which was our desired goal anyways.

The conclusion is that I highly recommend it for hiking or rather "off-leash" walks. You may have mixed results at home, if you have an "invisible fence". Although without the "invisible fence" issue, I believe it would be very effective for any sort of training.

Bottom line is that it works and I wish had I bought this tool earlier.

My rescue dog is a Flat Coated Retriever. She has become more and more disobedient over the months since I have gotten her. I love her very much, but was at the end of my rope and was ready to return her after she repeatedly ran into the 55 mph road right off my acreage. She also found it necessary to run into the farmers field adjacent to my yard so she could entice the neighbor's 3 border collies in an aggressive attempt at dominance. Although I have huge yard, it would not be cost effective to fence in 12 acres. Let me also say that my dog KNOWS the commands, "come", "sit", "stay", "drop it", and "no". She would obey these commands indoors, but once we got outside, no amounts of cut up steak would entice her into obeying if she had seen or smelled a squirrel or rabbit. I had also attempted to change her behavior by asserting my dominance as the pack leader. If she disobeyed me, I would immediately tell her "NO", and make her lay down on her side for 10 minutes while I held her there. Obviously, this only worked sometimes and was difficult to do if I had my 3 year old with me outside in the snow at cold temperatures.

I have to say that, for some reason, there is a general societal consensus that shock collars are bad. I subscribed to that until I adopted my Flat Coated Retriever. I had successfully trained an Australian Shepherd and thought getting a rescue dog would be the same amount of ease to train. I was wrong. My rescue dog was a 3 years old retriever with an unknown history and didn't have one ounce of shepherd tendencies. She is a hunting dog and likes to chase EVERYTHING that moves. After reading an article online written by Lou Castle, who is a police dog trainer, my mind was changed. I highly recommend his website to anyone wanting a well trained dog using "ecollars". […]. Needless to say, I got this shock collar and it changed my dog in 1 day! The first day I used it to stop a chase into the road and to stop the aggression with the neighbor dogs. I also learned that my dog had already been "etrained". Once I used the shock collar, she was a velcro dog, continually heeling at my side. It was magnificent.

Finally, for anyone wanting to buy a shock collar for their dog. There is definitely a right and a wrong way to use a shock collar. Please do your research before you decide to correct behavior. You have to give an alternate command when you shock so your dog knows what is expected instead of the bad behavior. When my dog starts chasing, and is given a light shock (we only need to use the sound now without the shock) we would say "come" at the same time so she would know what to do to make the sound/shock stop. Once she takes 4-5 steps toward me, the sound/shocks stop and she is praised when she gets to me with a pat on the head and a few "good girls."

We got a young female hound mix from the ASPCA, and couldn't keep her in the yard. You know hounds: nose down and they're off. A neighbor suggested a radio collar.

We bought this one. I didn't go through the training regimen. She was too timid to work with. All we did was walk her around the yard on a leash some, giving the negative tone and negative voice tones when she tried to leave the boundary. Within two weeks, I started using a long lead and giving a low setting shock along with the negative voice. Within a month, she ran free with the collar and no lead.

It has been 8 months since we started with this product. We shocked her maybe 10 times TOTAL on setting 4. For the past 6, she hasn't left our property. We put the collar on every time she is out and not tied up. She rarely even tests the boundary, but a negative voice is enough to break her from a scent, another dog, or a person and have her head back to the middle of the yard with her tail tucked. She walks right along the unfenced boundary but doesn't cross. I've even taken her to a public park and she listens to the tone and negative commands. She comes when called.

Great product. Use the collar right; making sure it is snug and the electrodes are on the skin, so a low dose is felt. Use TLC with the dog. There should be no need to shock many times.

I ordered this as a replacement due to running the remote for the last unit through the washing machine. It was sufficiently close in price that I just bought a whole new set rather than replacing the remote. I was quite pleased with the original unit and this would give me a spare collar and charger.

I could tell on unpacking it that things had changed and the collar appeared to be more cheaply made now. After using it for a month the battery life on the collar started to degrade rapidly. The prongs on the charging unit broke and would have rendered things useless if I didn't have the charger from the old unit. Now the collar won't charge at all, just three months after having received this new unit. It appears that they've cheapened the build quality a great degree on this product and I'm horribly disappointed. I would not recommend this product at all and I'd be suspicious of anything that PetSafe is putting out these days.

We have a 65 pound, very stubborn dog that will only listen when he wants to. We had put him through obedience classes and while I think they were great he only listened to commands when it was convenient for him. This product has changed all of that and he is now very obedient. The first time I used the product I had to turn it up relatively high before I ever got a response from him (6). But after only one time of zapping him at that level I have never had to zap him ever again. Now just the warning sound and he will listen to any command I give. He does get scared when I put the collar on him but it is just a mental thing and I hope to break him of this. So I would take the advice of others here and put the collar on 1/2 before and 1/2 after a training session and do fun activities with it on so your dog doesn't associate the collar with negative feelings.

I like the quality of the product as everything feels really sturdy and doesn't feel like it will break. The fake-leather collar is sturdy and very adjustable. I like the option to only give a warning message as I don't want to zap my dog. The charger will charge both the collar and the handset at once and no batteries are needed (This is essential). I don't have any battery issues like other people have reported and the charge seems to last forever.

DT Works Harness, Therapy Dog In Training, Black/White, X-Small - Fits Girth Size: 21-Inch to 26-Inc

I purchased this harness for my spaniel mix and am happy I did! I received it very quickly and just as I imagined after reading the description and a bunch of reviews. I was looking for something well-made but still comfortable enough for my dog to wear all day, and it HAD to have the reflective feature (which by the way is NOT just painted on but an actual reflective strip sewn on!). I say the service is great because the product was shipped promptly and even though I did initially receive the wrong patches, after a quick email and a couple days later I had the correct ones in hand!!! So THANK YOU Dt Works for making this transaction great/quick/and easy for me!!! =)

Puppy Bumper - Keep Your Dog on the Safe Side of the Fence - Bugs and Hearts -10-13"

I purchased this product about 3 months back. I love that the bumper actually keeps my dog in the fence (minature schnauzer) .My big German shepard at first thought it was a toy. It's light weight and my dog did not seem to mind at first. However, now that she is getting older she wants to go to the neighbors house and hang out with the 6 chihuahas they have. Due to her eagerness she figured out a way to somehow get the puppy bumper and chew on it. She did this until finally she just ripped it up like it was a stuffed animal. It was great while it lasted. I am going to order another one soon though. She doesn't wear it all the time. Just when we are not home and no one can keep an eye on her. Shipping was fast!

PureAyre Pet Odor Eliminator Refill, 1-Gallon

As a multiple cat owner, there's no way to avoid one of the worst odors in the world: cat urine. PureAyre is the only product I've found that really does eliminate this odor. I've been using it for over 8 years now, ever since I witnessed the founder of the company at a home improvement show squirt it straight into his mouth to prove how safe PureAyre was. I bought a couple of spray bottles at the show and didn't have to wait very long for an opportunity to try it -my 20 year old cat had peed on her sherpa pad bed again. I rinsed the bed, then heavily sprayed it with PureAyre. Like the instructions say, ideally you should leave it on to work its odor-killing magic until the object dries out. I was truly amazed when no cat pee odor was left! I tried to always have some on hand, even though it was very expensive then. When my latest cat arrived 3 years ago, she decided to mark her territory and outright pee on clothing and worst of all, my $4K nubuck leather couch (which she'd peed on repeatedly before it was discovered). Unfortunately I was out of PureAyre and back then the only way to get it in quantity was to mailorder from the company. In a panic I ran to the pet store and got Nature's Miracle and Simple Solution. After applying both the odor was actually worse, because it smelled like cat pee underneath the cleaning solutions. After this disastrous experiment, I called PureAyre and had them Fedex two gallons to me. I sprayed the outside of the non-removable cushions heavily, used a syringe to inject at least a gallon of PureAyre into the cushions, tipped the couch back, turned on some box fans to help dry it out and crossed my fingers. After 3 days, it wasn't completely dry but the cat pee odor was finally gone and my couch was saved. The important lesson to me was to always always always have PureAyre on hand. As I've become hypersensitive to the smell of cat urine, I now use PureAyre if there's even the faintest whiff of pee or puke, and to freshen up the litter boxes. PureAyre has a slightly herbal, minty aroma that doesn't linger.

After many years of dealing with cats peeing on the bed and tearing my hair out, I'd like to share my strategy for dealing with this problem. Most important, the best insurance against worst-case scenarios short of having an airbed is to have a good waterproof mattress cover that's comfortable and doesn't make crinkly plastic noises. On top of my bedding, I always have a Mambe blanket which is fleece on one side and waterproof material on the other (it's soft but not absorbent). As a final topper I have a 100% cotton throw which will absorb the pee or puke. Now when I come home to find someone's had an accident, all I usually have to do is scoop up the Mambe blanket and cotton throw and toss both into the washer (with some PureAyre in the rinse), tumble dry, and everything is squared away well before bedtime. I don't always sleep with the Mambe blanket or cotton throw especially when the weather's warm, but religiously keep the bed covered in this manner especially when I'm not there, when stuff seems to happen.

PureAyre is not a disinfectant or even an effective cleaner by itself. It does one thing and that is to positively eliminate the nastiest odors in the air, and in areas and on things you can't put in the washer. The ideal procedure would be to use a cleaning solution (such as non-toxic Simple Green) if possible, thoroughly rinse with water, then end with an application of PureAyre, allowing time so it can fully "eat away" the odor-causing compounds. Believe me, I've tried competing products over the years in an attempt to save money (Nature's Miracle, Simple Solution, Urine Off, Anti-Icky Poo, etc.) and none can compare to PureAyre. If you need disinfecting power, an excellent and very safe disinfectant is a botanical one called Benefect that smells like thyme. Together these two great products tackle all of my tough pet and household conditions and always win.

We are a multiple (multiple MULTIPLE) pet household and even though I'm very fastidious, there's no getting around the fact that pets DO make stinky messes sometimes (or all the time!). With Pureayre no one would ever guess we have any pets. It's THAT good. Yes there's a faint peppermint smell when you first use it, but it does dissipate quickly. I have a very keen sense of smell, I am chemically sensitive, and I like things extremely clean Pureayre is a total win in all of these areas. We can't be without it. Nothing else even comes close. If you're battling elderly pet issues, kitty problems, anything stinky, get Pureayre and revel in olfactory liberation! :p

Those who complain about the smell of this product consider the alternative. Which would you prefer? And this smell goes away.

So my old cat peed on my bed and got everything: sheets, comforter, pillow. I soaked everything immediately with Pure Ayre, threw the stuff into the wash and no more stink. The down comforter, I used Pure Ayre to soak the part Kitty got and it works. I thought the comforter was ruined but this stuff really does the trick. Kinda minty smelling I don't like it but it's mild and goes away (and better than cat pee!). I also use it after I change the cat box. I have 3 cats and you wouldn't know. I plan on buying a gallon next just to have around.

One day later: My down comforter, even with the black light, shows NO traces of cat pee! I can't believe it. It took 2-3 treatments with this stuff, and there is a slight mint smell leftover but no cat pee! It was there this morning, and I was about to take the comforter to the laundromat to wash the whole thing with vinegar, but due to the snowy roads I decided to give it some more Pure Ayre. I could see the outline where the stain was, so I sprayed the stained area well, put it in the spare room with a fan and now, 8 hours later it is dry and No Smell. I looked everywhere for the stain with the black light and couldn't find it. I'll probably wash it anyway but this stuff really works. I'd give it more starts if I could. Highly recommended by a 3 cat owner!

P.S.I. Imports Silent Acme Whistle (Carded) Psi Silent Acme Whistle Card Training & Behavioral Aids

I've had several of these over the past fifty years. They are all the same: top quality and they do their job. They may be tuned to be totally silent but that would drive me nuts. So I just tune mine for a high pitched tone I CAN hear and the dog for sure can. I use these whistles in addition to the Acme Thunderer "pea" whistles often while training so I don't disturb folks in the neighborhood. The dog soon learns to respond to either whistle.

I HAVE had trouble with one whistle not holding its setting. Otherwise these are solid and unbreakable. I have one that has been around here for at least thirty years.

High quality but you'll just HATE it when you lose one!! And, as you noticed, they ain't cheap!

I got this to try and keep my neighbors dog from barking. It didn't work at all. The dog would stop for 2 seconds then go right back to barkingI think perhaps I misunderstood the productI don't know.

Natural Chicken Breast Fresh Breath Treats for Dogs 15 Oz Made in USA

I am writing this review with the caveat that I bought them about 2.5 weeks ago and with the purchase price on each individual bag at $9.00. I just looked and today, the same bag is $23 and change PLUS $12 shipping. Big difference.

I bought 3 of these as I was looking for made in the USA Dog Chicken treats with no additional by products and/or chemicals. The treats do smell more than others that have chemicals as they don't use anything to mask the treat. I have two cavalier spaniels and they love the treats. I am confident in giving these treats to my dogs and happy they are not at risk of getting sick from bad chicken jerky.

At $9 a bag, this is a great product. But with the price I just saw at what amounts to $35 for a single bag, I would not buy again. I probably would find the nearest petco or order the colorado chicken jerky from petco online for a chicken jerky with similar pure ingredients.

Dog Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent

I am a postal carrier and purchased the dazer as a first line of defense against dogs. I easily see over 100 dogs a day and when a dog barks at me, I hit the dazer.

I have nearly worn out the battery testing this little device. I cover many routes and have tested this device over 1000 times (easily). It has worked tail-tucking-excellent on only 4 dogs. It will stop about 50% of all dogs from barking for a few seconds. And about 30% of dogs from barking as long as I hold the button.

For a postal carrier this is great because it quiets down my day, but I'd only use this as a primary defense if I had a can of mace as back up--which I do.

I also agree that it works much better on mid-size dogs. Nearly no effect on small dogs--the ones that yipe and bother me the most--darn.

I normally don't make time for reviews but this item is so wonderful I want to post flyers for it throughout my neighborhood as the barking dog problem is rampant. The short version...The pros: It will quiet a barking dog with sensitive ears,it really does shut them up! The cons: It doesn't work through walls! You have to be near the dog (w/in 50ft) for it to have an effect. Get this item if you have a barking dog problem and an inconsiderate neighbor who refuses to do anything about it.

The story: Everytime anyone used to go outside of my newly purchased house, the neighbor's dog would bark incessantly. Not to mention the fact than anytime anything happened w/in earshot the dog would be barking. I asked the neighbor if she could do something about this and she replied, "He's a Lab, they just bark". Unacceptable and not true, only untrained ones do. I tried dog treats, I tried coaxing then I resorted to the hose, and all it did was raise my waterbill and make a large stripe in my lawn very green. So we built a large privacy fence (at our expense) and the barking did not stop. This "Dazer" was my last hope. So the day came to try it out (read: "the moment it arrived in the mail" comes WITH batteries!)It works exceptionally well!!!! I can't tell you how empowering this thing is. I feel like John Wayne. To finally have something to stop the barking. It's so peaceful when my family, friends and I go outside. If the dog starts, I walk over, aim it in the dog's direction push and hold the button and say "Quiet", the animal stops and runs in the house so quickly, you'd think I'd maced it. So I am covertly training my neighbor's dog for her! I was skeptical but relieved to have a tool to bring respite to this barking phenomenon that appears to be taking over the peaceful homes of America due to socially irresponsible dog owners (don't get me started). PS: I love animals. I have 2 well trained dogs myself, that have never needed a Dazer as I took them AND myself to dog training courses. (I'd never heard of it before until I Googled "how to stop your neighbor's dog from barking") Get this, if you value peace and quiet.

Buy Dog Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent Now

Add me to the growing list here of people who swear by this product and are amazed at its effectiveness. It really does work, so much so that I felt compelled to tell others.

Like other reviewers, I bought the Dazer in desperation after all other methods had failed to stop my neighbors' two Schnauzers from barking at me and my children every time we tried to use our own back yard. When I first used the Dazer on them, the dogs actually stopped mid-bark and looked at me as if I had just called them Chihuahuas. When they started to bark again, I Dazed them a second time and again, they stopped instantly. I then gave the now-silent and clearly befuddled mutts one final shot of ultrasonic goodness for good measure (heh heh), at which they turned and scurried off into their house not in pain, but clearly annoyed at whatever sound the Dazer puts out (humans cannot hear it, nor can my two elderly dogs).

The mongrels and I repeated this scenario for two more days after this, and that did the trick. Now when anybody in my family goes into the back, they either run off or ignore us completely. Oh, they still bark sometimes, but not at us. Like John Wayne (as one reviewer put it so well), I keep the Dazer clipped to my waistband just in case I need to remind them what it sounds like. I might even have done so once or twice, but that cannot be confirmed.

I don't know if the thing works on all dogs, or if it stops a charging dog, and I hope never to find out. I wouldn't rely on the Dazer or any other device to protect my children from an attacking dog, anyway, as Mr. Schinzer below might. But I know this: the Dazer has made my back yard a fun and QUIET place for me and my family to enjoy once again.

Now, if it only worked on loud people...

I am a avid cyclist. Aggressive dogs are a big problem in the rural area I live in. I have bitten 3 times while cycling. I had one dog bite my spinning front wheel which crushed his jaw. I have even gone over the handle bars when a pack of dogs chased me one day. I am chased on almost every ride.

Not a big fan of "domesticated" animals for obvious reasons.

The Dog Dazer was recommended by a friend. I was skeptical. To date, I have been chased by 5 dogs since buying the Dazer. All the dogs were different breeds. All 5 dogs stopped chasing when I pointed the Dazer at them hit the button.

Pros:

IT WORKS.

it's cheaper and safer than using pepper spray or a gun ( I would use the latter if i would not end up in jail for killing a dangerous dog).

Cons: It is a little bulky and heavy.

Would I recommend it or buy it again?

YES

I have three large dogs next door that bark and howl all the time! There are two rots and one chow/husky mix and they are constantly waking up my 15 month old. I decided to get the Dazer 2 because of the reviews and the price and I am SO GLAD I DID! I stand out my back door and point it at the fence where the dog is (about 25 feet away through a 6 foot wood fence) and press the button for about 2 seconds and at first they just stopped barking for a minute, than barked again so I set it off again and they ran inside. Now whenever they bark, I set it off and they tuck tail and run in the house. Now they rarely bark! 1 month later: If they do bark all I have to do is open the sliding back door and they run in the house. I would defiantly call it a SUCCESS! I could KISS the inventor!

Innotek Rechargeable In-Ground Pet Fencing System

I installed this around my house for my 2 small dogs. The installation was easy as I had an edger to cut a line in the grass and used a shovel to cut into the ground at an angle, then lifted the ground and shoved the wire in. Although I only used about 3/4 of the roll of wire, there were not enough flags so I had to buy extra flags at a local pet store. If you have any kind of sizable area (5000 sq. ft or more), the wire may be enough, but think about ordering EXTRA FLAGS.

Installation and hooking up to the control unit was relatively easy and took about 4 hours with edging, wire installation, and flag insertion. I installed the fence in a "square" area around my property, crossing my driveway at an expansion joint (concrete driveway). The control unit is mounted in my garage.

I'm currently training according to the included CD, which is a critical part of successfully using this type of fence. The collar unit is just the right size for my 15lb shihtzu, but is slightly big for my 9lb chihuahua...I wish they made more streamlined/smaller collar units that work with this system, but after reading reviews of other systems and how often batteries had to be replaced (proprietary, nonetheless), I thought having rechargable collars would be much more convenient.

I ordered this package and also an additional collar since I have 2 dogs. The collar that came with the package was DOA, but the extra collar I ordered worked right out of the box, even though it was low on charge. The instructions stated to charge the collar for at least 14hrs initially. I had the defective collar on the charger for almost 20 hours, and it would not take a charge (green light didn't blink on the defective collar, but working collar was blinking red indicating low charge). I reported this to Amazon, and they sent out another whole package with next day delivery at no charge, and I swapped out the collars. Thanks Amazon, although you could have just sent out an extra collar package and I could have swapped it with that instead, saving you on shipping costs!

What could be better?

1. More flags

2. Containment area setting (how close to the wire before collars "fire") isn't very precise...at minimum the collar will fire 2-3" from the wire, anything more than minimum setting it will fire 12" from the wire...not very precise.

3. More streamlined collars/smaller units

4. Only 2 settings for shock level...low is too low, high is too high (I tested it on myself, not my dogs since we're only training without shocks at this time).

5. Installation instructions could be more descriptive.

With that said, for the price, this system is a pretty complete package and installation should be easy for those do-it-yourself types.

Here's the deal with this product...I think it would work OK, but only under certain conditions. First, you have to have the time and patience to train your dog not to go near the boundary. Of course, if you can do that, you might not need this system at all. The second thing is, if you dog has a thick coat, this product may not work. Even after ordering the longer contacts specifically designed for long-haired dogs, it was still hit or miss. And...if your dog runs at the boundary, he or she can easily run right through the shock zone. No matter what the company says, the system simply cannot respond quick enough to beat a fast dog to the punch. Again, all of this could probably be eliminated if you have a very trainable breed. If you have a breed that is very independent minded, such as the dogs we have, I suggest putting up an old-fashioned fence...which I'll be doing this weekend.

This system works great. My dog tried to out smart me by running past the boundary but I reworked the fence so she would have to pass the boundary wire 3 times to escape. She doesn't think being shocked 3 times is worth leaving our property anymore. The rechargeable collars are great. I had this system 4 years now and still love it.

This version of a wire in the ground invisible fence system is easy to install. It could even be used, connected to the bottom of an existing fence, to train a dog not to dig out under a fence. The hardest part of installation is digging a very thin line in the ground about two inches deep to place the wire antenna around the property you wish to secure. The instructions are very clear as to how to connect all the parts.

It also has a nice number of adjustments to vary the strength and size of the boundary field and the strength of the correction.

The instructional DVD is excellent. It's clear, concise and to the point. As a retired veterinarian, I cannot emphasize strongly enough just how important it is to train your dog correctly from the beginning. If you follow the training instructions completely, you will succeed. If you don't, you will fail and will have wasted your money. 'Nuff said.

There is an advantage to having a rechargeable collar in that an owner can just recharge the unit overnight and does not have to chase all over looking for a specialized replacement battery. Unfortunately, this particular system has the collar recharger as an integral part of the central control unit. Since most of us install the system in an out-of-the-way corner of the garage, it becomes inconvenient to faithfully recharge the collar. However, it must be said a dog who is completely trained with this system might be permitted out in the yard without the collar or with a dead battery and may be trained well enough to stay within the limits of the system anyway. I've done that with my own dog, but, I do periodically send her out with a fully charged collar to "retrain" her.

One last comment, please remember this device will train your dog to stay within the boundary you choose. Unlike a real fence, IT CANNOT KEEP AN ANIMAL OR PERSON INTENT ON DOING YOUR DOG HARM OUT OF YOUR YARD.

Putting the wire beneath the ground was A LOT of work, but now that it's done, we're glad. Changes I would make include:

(1)Stronger flags--ours were plastic and broke when we had to keep moving them (every time someone mowed the lawn, they got mown over or moved).

(2)When you are testing where you hear the signal so that you can put the flags down, you get a signal at different places each time you try. For example, I tested, found my spot, put a flag down; did the whole front yard this way. When I re-tested, or checked myself, the signal would sound at a different spot--even a foot forward or backward of the previous spot. And it's not just me; my son just said the same thing two days ago, when testing so he could fix the wire, and we've had this fence in for 5 months!

(3)Higher shock levels? Our German shepherd SO FAR is scared of the shock, but there is one corner of the yard--I don't know if it's the snow pile or what--but he runs through and gets out. Now we've put a snow fence there to stop him. SO FAR.

Price was OK; charging the battery goes well (although I wish it didn't take 14 hours, for the dog's sake, because we have to coop him up on the deck!); and otherwise--until our dog figures it out--the fence is working fine.

COMMENTS ADDED JULY 28, 2012: I am now getting the product ready to sell. Our tough German Shepherd got through it too many times, and finally it was no use. We had to put up a REAL fence. And he's getting through that, too--pushing through the bottom. So we have to try to correct that...!

ABC's of Behavior Shaping; Proactive Behavior Management Seminar DVD Set

You are getting a lot of information for your 5 hours of viewing. What this doesn't give you and what is really needed is a web link to where you can get a copy of the notes from this seminar. This was originally taped in 1996 and was a weekend seminar with Patty Ruzzo and Leslie Nelson also presenting.

If you're really into the science of behavior then Ted will clearly outline all the reasons why things work and don't work. He backs up examples with real life experiences from working with a variety of animals and the mistakes that he has made in the past.

A lot of what Ted was talking about in 1996 has since been used very effectively by a lot of dog trainers in developing a variety of programs. If you've ever wondered where some of the information came from, here's a good starting point for finding it.

One thing that hasn't continued since this seminar was the thought of starting your dog out as a puppy on a variable rate of reinforcement and rewards while teaching behaviors. Why did this get lost? I could imagine that a lot of owners would have less ring issues if they had followed Ted's suggestion in this. This whole section really needs more than I can give you here.

I also like how Ted suggested that you should be training your dog a variety of behaviors. Not just teaching for the obedience ring, but including tracking and agility and play in their repetoire of trained behaviors.

Worth the time and money. Yes, there are some video/audio issues from the original recording but not bad for the technology ten years ago.

When this leash arrived I was dumbfounded at what a quality leash this is. I was looking for an affordable 4ft that was not a flimsy 5/8w. You usually get what you pay for but this time I got so much more.

PetSafe Pawz Away Indoor Dog Barrier

I have 2 small terrier mix dogs. One is 10 and the other 2. The 2 year old is a bit slow and had a hard time potty training. He got into the habit of sneaking into our living room and pooping on the carpet. He also occasionally peed. I was having the carpet professionally cleaned every 6 months and was going broke. I Googled "indoor electric fence" not knowing if there was such a thing and discovered PetSafe Pawz Away Barrier. I read all the reviews and decided to give it a shot. I placed the base near the entrance to the dining/living room area. It was amazing! My older dog clearly heard the warning beep and got the mildest static shock and hasn't gone near the area since! (We've had it 2 weeks.) The younger, slower dog went in the "no no zone" and stayed. He looked around when he heard the warning beep and stayed put with the first mild shock. He did the same with the next beep and stronger shock. No response. On the third warning and shock, he jumped straight up and left the zone! He hasn't been near that doorway since!!! All it has taken is one zap each and they stay away. I bought 2 units and 2 collars. The one unit keeps them out of the living/dining room areas. I'm going to place the other unit in a heavy duty zip lock bag and put it near the gate in our back yard. Both dogs love to bolt when the gate gets left open. This is a fantastic devise! I was expecting to pay around $300 for some kind of indoor fence and only spent $100. You won't be disappointed. I sure wasn't!!

This little gadget literally saved the life of my cat. She was crapping and peeing on our leather sofa every day. She also loved to do this on our sheepskin carpets. Nothing stopped her. She now wears this collar during the day and is confined at night so we can take it off and give her neck a rest. We have several pods strategically located in different areas of the house. She has been flawlessly using her cat box and does not cross the boundaries. She may live to be a very old cat thanks to this. Love it! The collar does need to be tight enough to contact the skin, or it will not work...so play with it till you see the dog or cat respond to the "signal". ;-)

This system is expensive and brilliant if it worked well. I put the receiver to keep the dogs from sneaking upstairs and peeing on the carpet. This seemed to work on the little Scottie but did not work on the large white dog who was the real culprit. Her coat is so thick she never felt it. I ended up having to use an ugly child gate instead...

Love this item! It worked wonderfully. We have 9 month old Cockapoo that always wants to run out the front door and with 4 kids the door is opened a lot. After one day she won't go near the door. When she ran out the front door she would take off and not come back for anything. It could take up to 1 hour to catch her. Living close to a State Road we were very worried she would end up hit by a car. This has solved that problem. Our wonderful puppy is much safer because of this product.

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX THE COLLAR WHEN THE COLLAR DOES NOT RESPOND EVEN AFTER PUTTING IN NEW BATTERIES.

OPEN THE CASE AND REMOVE THE BATTERY HOUSING. THEN TAKE A BUTTER KNIFE AND DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

CIRCUIT BOARD IS A LITTLE METAL ARM, GENTLY PRY THE ARM UPWARD SO IT MAKES BETTER CONTACT WITH THE BATTERIES

IN THE HOUSING. THIS IS MY SECOND COLLAR AND WAS PRETTY FRUSTRATED THAT IT NEVER WORKED AFTER A FEW MONTHS.

NOW IT DOES! THIS IS A GREAT DEVICE FOR MY CAT WHO LIKES TO URINATE IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE HOUSE. WORKS GREAT!!!! NOW THAT I FIXED IT I WILL GIVE THIS ITEM 5 STARS!!!!!
