PoochPad Pet Training Pad
Buy PoochPad Pet Training Pad Now
I bought these after training our Miniature Dachshund puppy to use wee wee pads indoors. We live in a climate that is always raining and we get lots of snow in a very long winter and felt it would be better to just have her be an indoor dog rather than fight getting her to go outside. I was having a lot of guilt throwing away the disposable pads all the time. She adjusted to them really easily. We use these with a tray, although they have never leaked, the tray keeps them in place. I have 6 and she soils about 2 a day, so we are able to keep on it a bit easier. She has been using these for about a year and they have held up great, I do line dry them though to hopefully have them last a little longer. They are more expensive than the disposables, however, I don't feel the guilt anymore at unnecessarily adding to the local landfill. I would recommend these to anyone with a dog that either is trained to go indoors or for dogs that need a back up plan when they can't make it outside. It is an excellent product I plan to repurchase when and if these ones ever wear out.Read Best Reviews of PoochPad Pet Training Pad Here
After dealing with shredded potty pads that were too thin and leaked urine everywhere, I decided to try these pads. I was hesitant to get a washable pad, despite the fact its better on our environment, due to the concept of urine in my washing machine, but it hasn't been a problem at all.The pads can hold quite a bit of urine and reduce the smell, but they are not perfect. Over time, the moisture can sort of condensate, for lack of a better word, and cause moisture to build up underneath them. I noticed that my carpets felt damp and smelled like urine.
To fix this, I purchased a washing machine tray in the same dimensions to place underneath the pads, and it worked gloriously. I now no longer have issues with my carpets getting urine in them and if there are any "misses" on the edges, the tray will pool the urine for easy clean-up. If you purchase these, I highly recommend purchasing a washing machine tray as an accessory.
These are the trays I purchased from Amazon. Camco 20752 30-Inch by 32-Inch Washing Machine Pan, White

I've always used the regular disposable paper weewee pads, until I came across these doing a search for quality puppy pads. I have an 8lb dog and even with 3 walks a day he still uses a weewee pad 3x a day. At first I thought it was all about saving money, (and maybe being kind to the environment), but after some calculating, the savings aren't that much. I was buying my disposables at a good price, working out to about 20-25 cents a pad, 1 a day, that's about $75 a year, not terrible. 4 of these washable pads, plus 1 50-pack of disposables (to keep on hand when randomly necessary) would cost about that much anyway, so there are no savings (for me at least) in first year. And the savings for me over 4 years is only about $150.BUT!! that's not what I love about them. Hard though my pup tries to go in the right place, sometimes he'll just be a little close to the edge of the regular paper pads and then there's a bunch of pee on my hardwood floor that seeps underneath the paper pad with plastic backing. Yuck. That's been going on for 9 months (which is how long i've had my pup). Well, I bought a pack of 2 of these pads 6 weeks ago (then bought another 2 pack) and have not had one bit of weewee on the floor since. Not only *that*! But these somehow absorb the smell much much better, Woohoo! When he has 3 walks a day I can leave the poochpad down for sometimes 2 days before changing it. I even left one pad down for 2 days once and after he let go this huge pee i thought for sure there would be something coming through the bottom of the pad, but nope, nothing. I also think they look a bit nicer than regular pads as they sit in the corner.
Re: washing. After 1 is ready to be changed i spray enzyme spray on it, run the shower over it for 30 seconds, and the pee is pretty much gone! I squeeze it out and line dry it, and it's perfect and ready to go again! So with just 4, I don't see myself every having some not available. Also, having them rinsed out means i can put them in my normal wash b/c there's really barely anything in the pad. (plus this way there's not a bunch of pee filled pads milling around in your house. After a normal wash, i feel like they are almost totally scent free, very impressive. I get the 20 x 27 inch medium for my 8lb dog.
So while I'll still have some disposables on hand for those random times (dog @ mom's house, pads all due for a wash, etc) I plan on using Poochpads from now on. : ). I will update if anything changes. (already updated this review 9/1/11)
3/24/12: Still love 'em. Now that i have less time i'm using paper pads at times, but i put them over the Poochpad. : ). So happy with these poochpads.

This is a heavy duty cable to connect my dog to his overhead cable-trolly, to replace a similar one that broke after several years of use. It can be hard to find just the connecting cable so we don't have to re-purchase the entire set-up when the cable inevitably wears out.

Isle of Dogs 100-Percent Natural Mini Health Dog Treat
The ingredients are listed which is good, and and it shows bunch of fruits and vegetables... So the treat is healthy. This brand is top notch, I'm glad they amazon has Isle of Dogs pet products.
I used them to teach the dog to walk down the spiral stairs, so I know the dog loves them.This is a good seemingly all natural treat. My picky dog also liked it. The size is just right and the smell is good too.

Halti Dog Harness - Multi-Functional! - No Pull Plus Regular Harness, Medium
Buy Halti Dog Harness - Multi-Functional! - No Pull Plus Regular Harness, Medium Now
I have read a few reviews and I must say. After using a Halti Harness harness on a 105 LB Black Lab and a oRot 135 lbs Rottweller. You must be a very small girl or you parents bought you to big of a dog for you may I suggest a dog behavior class. I have NEVER heard of these problems. I would think of having a Halti Dog Harness Multi-Functional! No Pull Plus Regular Harness,and a Medium one. Sounds like the dog is walking you, go to the gym or get in a few fights and see where you stand on the man scale. I am 6' foot 209 and these boys of mine know who the alpha is in my house. I sound like the dog is the alpa in your home. Sound like your mind is walking you and the dog sure does. I think you would have to shoot either of my dogs and leave your mind intact. Sorry you didn't give the harness more time. Maybe a tea cup poodle next time ah?Unfortunately this harness wasn't true to size. It was much too big for our dog and we had to return it.Want Halti Dog Harness - Multi-Functional! - No Pull Plus Regular Harness, Medium Discount?
This product has marginally relieved pressure on my arm from keeping my dog from pulling as hard as she can, but she can still pull hard enough to loosen the straps, and pop the clip off that attaches to her collars. I only put the on her when I walk her as I think it would chafe under her armpits.Friday, July 12, 2013
Four Paws 200pk Bags 22x23 Wee Wee Pads
So now I have tried Four Paws Wee-Wee pads, Dynarex Under pads(worst),Simply Right Super Absorbent under pads(very good-still use) and Natures Miracle Advanced Wee Pads(still use)and find Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra is the best by far for doggie wee pads!
I have to admit I am impressed on how absorbent Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra turned out to be. They claim to hold 6 cups of liquid and I believe it, this is the only pad with Polymer in it, Polymer helps absorption and keeps the spread of the liquid to a minimum getting more use out of the pad, this pad is also fantastic at keeping odor absorbed. I find Petsmart is the only place I can get these pads in-store in my area. The pad size is larger than the other wee pads at 27x23 compared to 23x24 and Natures usable pad area is pretty close to the 27x23 size where the other pads can be up to 4inches smaller in usable area size (so your 23x24 pad is actually 19x21 inches)because the blue border is non-absorbent and not usable(Dynarex brand)!! I just bought Natures Miracle Advanced Ultra on sale at Petsmart, 100pads for $39 which is a great price but I only use these in my crate due to that high price and for visit at friends houses. For daily use, I now go with Simply Right Super Absorbent 23x36 under pads from Sam's club which is also a very good product, not bad at keeping odor at bay, the size fits replacement crate trays, more room for 2 pups to use and best of all the cheap price tag of $24 for 120 pads and they are sold in-store, no need to order online. I will admit I would use these pads again if need be but there is no real savings in them as you do use more. I have 2 (4lb) small breed puppies 1 female and 1 male just so you have a picture. The puppies were definitely attracted to the pads and it was very easy to get them to use the pads which I am grateful. The first pads I ever purchased were the Natures Miracle Advanced Wee Pads and not by choice I just walked in having just gotten my puppies and grabbed the first thing I came across. Now Natures Miracle was a tad expensive so I started looking for another brand more in my price range so I did a lot of research and this brand was rated high by people, then as luck would have it Pet Supplies Plus had a great sale on Four Paws Wee-Wee Pads, now after some use and after the excitement of them actually using the pads I started to become a tad disappointed. You pay a good dollar for these pads and I started to notice things, the size is smaller than the other pads and the 23x23 size meant I had to use 2 of them in my crates and on a side note the actual size of usable pad is 21x21. They are pretty thin and I have felt dampness on the underside of these pads which is a problem since they were sitting on carpet( I have since bought crate replacement trays). When the pups went tinkle it would just sit on the top of the fabric and pool before actually soaked in allowing the pups to walk thru it and tracking it on my carpet. When the female went tinkle she pretty much use up a good portion of the pad so I was changing them often so the price savings now has gone out the door. I also found there was no odor control with these pads.

PoochieBells Classic Dog Potty Training Doorbell in Chocolate Brown, Cold Nose Warm Heart Wording
I think you could do about the same or better with some pretty ribbon and some dollar store bells from Christmas. It looks nice but could be made a lot better.It's not working for my dogs. I have two, a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel who is bright and quick to pick up new tricks, lessons, and the like, (I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to run her through feldjager training when she was a pup, so she's very bright and well trained). And a 9 month old Min Pin, who is a little slower, but still bright.
I got the bell for the Min Pin mostly, she was trained on potty pads by her previous owner, I don't do that here, my dogs use the outdoors. So, it was for the purpose of retraining for her, and for giving my Cocker Spaniel a signal for me. Previously she'd just sit by the door, silent, and wait for me to notice her, until sometimes I swore her eyes were crossed. That's no good, if I'm in another room, I need to know so she isn't just waiting on me to walk by.
It's been nearly a month of doing exactly what the instructions say, potty time isn't play time anyways here, and my Cocker is an on command pottier anyways. So I'm not abusing the bells and letting them play when they should be associating it with potty.
Neither of them have yet to ring the bell on their own. My Min-Pin would rather potty on the floor, than ring the bell, and my Cocker would rather wait on her potty breaks, or sit at the door and wait for me.
:(Blaze is still attempting to get over the fear of the bells. He is still in the middle of potty training, so we have noticed that he has been attempting to use them occasionally and hope that it becomes a habit. They are adorable and I believe well worth it in the end!I did not buy this doorbell dog bells for the dog but to put on the outside doors in the house so I was aware if the door was opened by my husband. I was able to get to him before he got out of the house as his sweet mind change in the end of his life. I still have them on the door as it is still a good idea to know if your door is opened. Also, if you have a little one you can know if they open the door.Love it when our furry girly rings her bells! Even better to hear it with no prompting or questioning. Cute. Thanks for a great training tool.

Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Large, My Little Angel/Red
This comes with a book of instructions, a DVD, absolutely everything you need to train yourself on how to train your dog. It teaches you how to strap it on, and how to give them treats as they learn to walk. After I was sure how to strap it on, I took to the streets with my boisterous lab.
The first thing people have to realize is this is NOT a muzzle. It goes around the top of the nose, and your dog can completely open their mouth.
The concept is simple: if you are walking forward, and your head is forced to the side, you will stop. You can't see where you're going. Dogs are the same way. This collar and leash puts the pressure in the correct way so that when the dog pulls beyond the reach of the leash, their head gets pulled to the side, instead of the neck getting strangled, and they simply stop. At first, they'll paw at it and try to get it off, but that's why you have the instructions and treats to get them used to it. Once you're done...you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
After the first two walks, my dog now sniffs at her gentle leader constantly, trying to get me to take her for more walks even though there's snow everywhere!My dog is one year old and still quite frisky. She is getting stronger and the kids were starting to have a hard time walking her. This completely solved the problem. The only issue I have with it is that only my 11 year old has figured out how to put it on. LOL

I just recently purchased this, so my dog is still getting use to it. My dog is like a little horse and when I received this and took it out of the package it immediately reminded me of a horse harness. I am using it to train my dog so I can walk him. He is so big and has so much power, that with our prior choke chain and chain leash I could not walk him. With the Gentle Leader Head Collar his demeanor is changed and he is a lot calmer. I am now training him to walk with me before I take the big jump and take him to the park. He is still getting use to the head collar and as soon as everything comes together I will take him for a walk. He is also a stubborn dog so this is taking a little longer. The quality of the head collar is very light, but well stitched. I thought the plastic piece would break, but so far so good. I find that by controlling his head, I can control him a lot better. I can't wait to be able to take him for walks.Read Best Reviews of Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Large, My Little Angel/Red Here

I had a hard time walking my 2yr old mix golden retriever & choc lab with a standard leash and collar. She is a such a strong dog and puller. With the gentle leader she walks right beside me and no more pulling. It took a week for her to get used to the harness on her nose, but she a great learner. The only time she pulls is when she needs to go pee or poop.Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Kyjen Outward Hound Designer II Treat 'N Ball Bag
good buy and has a handy tie top. I hate putting treats in my pockets. This is big enough to keep lots of treats and even a ball for when we go to the dog park. Great for training or just play. It closes securely so no treats can fall or spill out, and it has a belt clip so you can attach it to your pants, belt, belt loop or even the handle of our leash. This bag is awesome. No more treats in pockets!

I like the bag, it's slightly shorter than most competitors and wider, so might be good for people with large hands. I think it's a little too big though, it doesn't have any structure and it flops around, even with the velcro around a belt loop and the clip in my pocket. Don't even think about jogging or doing agility with it! But, if you need to carry a ball and treats while you walk around, this'll get the job done.Want Kyjen Outward Hound Designer II Treat 'N Ball Bag Discount?
I was so excited to receive this treat pouchI do a lot of training with my crazy misbehaving german shepherd, and I have needed one for a while now.This is the WORST TREAT POUCH EVER. It is GIGANTICI'm pretty sure it could fit two tennis balls side by side. It is huge and inconvenient and just hangs off your waist awkwardly. The little pull tab on the inside just gets in the way. I am embarrassed to leave the house with this. Get another brand, unless you just want a little tacky carrying container for all of your tennis balls.
I will give it a 3 and not a 1 because the quality of the bag seems good, and it was shipped quickly. Other than that, though, it has no redeemable qualities!
