PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Home is Where The Dog is Design

PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Home is Where The Dog is DesignI have two very small dogs (under 10lbs each). I had to hang them on a suction cup on the door, instead of the handle, just for them to reach it. But they work well and the puppy is figuring it out. I'm happy with them!

Contrary to ad it was not easy to train my dog he still doesn't get the idea. In fact he shys away from it.

These training bells are very nice. The quality is excellent, the bells are much bigger than they look in the photo, and they are plenty loud when your dog noses or paws at them. Would purchase these again in a heartbeat.

I was hopeful that this would be the solution I needed to fully house train my dog. He's getting the idea of 'pottying' outside, he's just not consistent yet. What I didn't anticipate was that he would be afraid of the bells. Once I hung the bells on the door, he wouldn't walk past the door to go outside. As a result he chose to 'go' inside in order to avoid the door. So I had to remove the bells. He is still apprehensive of the door though the bells are gone. To be fair, I can see where this would work well for a dog who isn't a chicken like mine. So I didn't want to give less than 3 stars. If your dog doesn't shy away from loud sounds, give it a go!

This was a great tool for potty training our 3 month old black lab mix. It is convenient and our dog got the hang of it real fast. It also enabled us to know when he had to go when we were not in the room. Definitely a must for potty training. I feel the price-point is a little high for this item in my opinion, but couldn't find one anywhere else.

Cloud Star Chewy Tricky Trainers, Liver, 5-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)

Cloud Star Chewy Tricky Trainers, Liver, 5-Ounce BagsOur Goldendoodle puppy loves these. We are training her with these and a couple of others (Zukes's Chicken, Cloud Star Duck Flavor to name a couple) and these are hands down her favorite. And they are small and can be broken down smaller very easily. Just perfect.

They are perfect. I wanted healthier option in soft dog treat. I needed something to be able to administer my dogs thyroid pill. She of course won't eat it on its own and I didn't like idea of hot dog or anything else unhealthy twice every day. These treats work really wellmformthat and my dog loves the little snack treat.

Dean and Tyler Advanced Puppy Sleeve with Bar, Jute - Fits Both Hands

Dean and Tyler Advanced Puppy Sleeve with Bar, Jute - Fits Both HandsThis is a great sleeve, soft with good padding. The only thing is the handle is set 90 degrees off from a normal trial sleeve, so it may take some getting use to when you first use it. All the dogs I have been working with love it and so far it has been hooding up nicely.

Richell Paw Trax Pet Starter Kit, Large

Richell  Paw Trax Pet Starter Kit, LargeI got this Richell 94531 Paw Trax Pet Starter Kit Large for our 20 LB Chiwhuawa Mix. The description was misleading, as it says it is "Large" but did not give dimensions. Well, it IS too small for our little guy. He has no room to do his little circling routine. Plus, being a boy, there IS plenty of room to miss!! Might be okay for a toy breed, & "maybe" some small-breed dogs, especially female... but even then, I personally think it's a bit too small. Now I'm stuck w/ it, unused. Too bad 'cause product itself actually seems really good & durable enough, & literally a snap to use.

This product is good 4 training ur pup nside the home. It works prefectly...no mess, no fuss.

Along with the pads that go with it is great! If you have yorkies, you know you need pee pads. My dogs use them and that makes life easier!

It works!!! And very well! I love it. It is so easy to keep it clean, so easy to change pads. I love it. It would be better to have a larger one, like 22" x 22", but for a small dog it is perfect. My home looks clean! And my pet has learned to identify it so we both are very hapy with it.

100 Pack GRIDLOCK 24" x 24" Puppy Dog Animal Training Wee Wee Pads

100 Pack GRIDLOCK 24' x 24' Puppy Dog Animal Training Wee Wee PadsI purchased a shih tzu in December of 2008 and was advised to visit Amazon.com for pad suggestions. I must admit that prior to believing all the "hype" I was very skeptical due to the cost comparison with other major brands. I ordered one box of the gridlock puppy training with the sticky peels on the back. While awaiting the arrival of this shipment I visited Petsmart and purchased a box of Simple Solutions Pee Pads and Nature's Miracle. What I learned with that experience is absorbency is the main consideration factor. If you leave water out for your dog as you should throughout the day while utilzing this brand;be prepared to have a mop and Simple Soutions Odor and Stain Remover on hand when returning home. The outer layer is a plastic blue which allows leakage if your dog releases himself more than once.It may be a cheaper brand however you will use them at a faster rate because the absorbency is of poor quality. Again, you get what you pay for. It was very important for the pee pad to be "the best" due to utilizing this method for training my dog where to release outside when the time came. Believe me, you would not want to reference back to that product if using this method to teach your dog exactly where to go in the backyard to allow him freedom and avoid worrying over the location of his/her release. Now, the Gridlock Wee Wee Pads are by far the BEST BRAND of pads for samller breeds based on my experience with the smaller dogs only. The top layer has more of a cloth feel and not the white thin layer as other brands. It is more appealing to the eye and does not take away of the decor of any room it is placed in. I don't know what mechanism they used to lure the dog to the pad to release but whatever it is cannot be beat. My dog has never had an accident or questioned where he should go when using this brand. I even tested the theory of location training versus pad training by using the pads in other rooms of the house with hardwood floors and simply placed my dog on the pad to direct one time. He will go to this pad no matter where I put it in the house. The absorbency is "out of this world." You would have a hard time trying to figure out if your dog has released or not unless he "poops" of course. They must use a dry acting enzyme agent for both due to the feces drying up very quick and hard almost dissolving. In addition, he quicly absorbs ordors as well. My dog always barks to indicate he has released which gives me an awareness to the need of changing the pads. If my dog ever stopped barking to tell me he has used the potty I would have to use the glow light for pet urine to determine the usage of the wee wee pads. THESE PADS ARE BY FAR THE GREATEST PADS FOR SMALLER BREED DOGS YOU COULD EVER INVEST IN!!! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY BY ANY MEANS!(I don't comment on the usage for larger breed dogs only because my sole experience has been with smaller breeds. But hey, what do you have to lose.If they have a pad large enough-go for it.)

I have a toy breed dog that uses puppy pads in a litter box instead of going outside. I have tried just about every brand of puppy pad in an effort to find one that is absorbent and odor resistant. These are the best I have found for the price. I am very pleased with the product. Other products are scented in order to mask the odors and smell horrible right out of the box. These are unscented but still manage to keep odors at bay despite being soiled for several hours. The reseller, DigItPet, shipped my order quickly and correctly.

Well somebody has finally gone and motivated me to write my first ever review for amazon it's been a few months since this happened, but since it is still bothering me I thought that perhaps sharing with others may help relieve the trauma.

So picture this as they will do, you have a line-up of little doggies waiting to anoint the fresh pads that you are putting down, but as you stand up to move aside for them to have at it, in the center of the pad you notice a dark spot with some long curly strands emanating from it, so you begin to reach down toward it while you ponder "how in the world did I manage to drop a tangle of black yarn on a pad that I JUST took from a just opened box, when it's not even in the same room as my yarn stash? And do I even own any black yarn, have I ever owned any black yarn? " Then just as your hand is a split second from making contact with the black blob, your brain finally kicks into gear and recognizes the oh so out of place spectacle before you the perfect silhouette of a MOUSE caught mid-run curly tail outstretched behind him pressed within the layers of the pad agggghh!!!

Well, although all of my screaming and hyperventilating was confusing to them, still my pack of little ones was standing there with their little legs crossed, so somehow I managed to force myself to remove the "mouse-pad" and unfold another (fortunately no extra pets included in the next one),then still hyperventilating I called the company's 800 number to tell them of the horrific event, and what was their reaction no apology, no explanations, no "please give us the code from the box so that we can trace the problem", but simply "how many pads will you be sending back for exchange". Send back for exchange?! I had to leave the house, have the pet shop delivery another brand while I was out, and have my super come and throw the Gridlock pads down the trash shoot the moment that I got back keeping them, packing them up for shipping was completely out of the question, but the company had zero empathy for my situation!

Now I know that some of you may be thinking "so big deal, every factory has mice", but think about it there is not any food involved here, and mice tend to run away from movement, so can you imagine how over run with filthy vermin this place must be to have mice running through the moving machinery how dirty even the pads that don't have the entire rodent included must be?

Anyhow, the good news is that after much searching I discovered Prevail Underpads which are larger (36"), and more absorbent than the gridlocks and with the great price and free shipping that Amazon has for them, I'm paying less for a pad that can take 6 9 little dog pees than I was for the gridlocks which could only handle 2 3 of my little one's pees!

And although still traumatized by the gridlock mouse-pads, I am comforted by the fact that the Prevail underpads are made in the USA (gridlock is made in China, and we already know that China doesn't worry about putting poison in our dog's food, so how can we expect them to be concerned about the purity of pee pads), and since the Prevail is actually made for human's I hope that there might be a bit more effort at quality control.

So in a sense I am glad that the mouse trauma happened because it ultimately led me to find a cleaner USA made, cheaper pad that lasts 3 times as long pretty much a no brain-er to switch to the Prevail pads, even if my gridlock Vermin experience doesn't worry you!

I was very excited when I read all the reviews for Gridlock Puppy Training wee wee pads in hopes that it would be the magic pad for my magic mutt. Although I was pleased at the absorbency and quick drying, my puppy did not share the same feelings...everytime she tried to squat her tiny paws would slip and she could not get a grip when going on the pad... though soft, its very slippery. I'm a little sad I bought a 100...I'll keep them for traveling...This is the third brand she has tried, and she was much more responsive to the other two...I would buy a small pack first.

Want 100 Pack GRIDLOCK 24" x 24" Puppy Dog Animal Training Wee Wee Pads Discount?

I purchased these dog pads because I thought I could save some money on pee pads for my small dogs. The box is nice and the way they are packaged is great. But they do not compare to the Four Paws brand wee wee pads. These get soaked like a paper towel would, and the liquid spreads right off the sides. I will probably keep searching for a less expensive version of the wee wee pads, but won't spend money on these, they do not work well.

Zuke's Jerky Naturals Dog Treats, 6-Ounce

Zuke's Jerky Naturals Dog Treats, Tender Lamb Recipe, 6-OunceWe have a little Maltese that we spoil to no end. These treats are the perfect size for him and he loves them.

He can be a little picky. Among his daily treats are Greenies and since we found these on Amazon, Zuke's Jerky Naturals. I will say that we tried two different kinds. Along with these, we tried the Wellness WellBites Chicken and Venison Recipe Dog Treats, 8-Ounce Pouch.

The Zuke's are really potent. When you open the bag, you catch a big whiff of how strong they are. They're probably real flavorful because of it (I didn't try one). The Wellness treats seem a little dryer. While our little guy likes both of the treats, the Zuke's win over the Wellness. Plus they're cheaper so that's even better. He can't get enough of them.

We also tried the Zuke's Z-Ridge Mini Carrot Fresh Breath Dental Chew Bones, 15 Count Pouch made by Zuke's. He doesn't like those as much as the Greenies.

I would say that this product is one of the best we found for our dog. Plus we were able to take advantage of the free super saver shipping as well. These are highly recommended.

[Edit: August 14, 2011]

He still loves them!

We've had to start giving our little guy Remedel for a little shoulder injury he had. These Zukes make it real easy to give him the pill. Since they're moist, we just put the pill inside and press it all around the pill. That way he doesn't even know he's taking it. Trying to give him pills with the Wellness treats doesn't work so well since they're dryer.

[Edit: September 29, 2012]

Anyone else notice that they seem different?? The last couple packs we bought were dryer and brittle. They also weren't as potent as the other ones were. He doesn't seem to like them as much any more. I don't know if the bags we bought were partially opened so they dried out by the time the were delivered or if their recipe changed. I'll buy some more and see how they turn out. A little disappointed...

I have a geriatric mini poodle. He can't chew biscuits or rawhide textures,but these treats are soft enough and still provide some workout for his gums and remaining teeth.

I appreciate the fact that the ingredients are domestic and it is manufactured in the US.

I bought two bags of these, thinking it was the same product that I used to buy in different packaging (light blue, with a see-through dog shape against a grass green background). Unfortunately, it was completely not the same thing! These treats were actually like jerky-tough and brittle. I give my dog soft treats because he doesn't chew the damn things, and he choked on these horrible things; I had to toss them out.

Note that the "Zuke's Jerky Naturals" with the other packaging (http://www.amazon.com/Zukes-Jerky-Naturals-Beef/dp/B00008DFPY) have always been moist and soft, and I've never had a problem with those. I suspect that this batch was not new packaging, as I had thought, but very old packaging; these may be the same treats I usually feed my dog, just having sat on a shelf for years. In any case, these were COMPLETELY different treats, and not safe to feed my dog.

These are not the tough, durable jerky that I was expecting, but small, soft, chewy squares. They break up easily into tiny BB sized balls (maybe 12 per square) and my puppies will do ANYTHING for them! Best dang training aide on the market!

Fresh Is Best Freeze-Dried Raw Whole Duck Heart Treats for Dogs and Cats

Fresh Is Best Freeze-Dried Raw Whole Duck Heart Treats for Dogs and CatsI have a super-picky older dog and two cats who LOVE the freeze-dried raw treats! They are really worth every penny since they never go to waste and they are the only treat I've purchased in YEARS that they all LOVE. Seriously...my picky dog, who is still finicky about her dinner, can barely contain herself when she knows she's getting these goodies. These will probably be the only treats I purchase for them in the future since they're consistenly a hit. I feel good about feeding them a high-quality natural food that isn't filled with byproducts and grain fillers.

My Shih Tzu's love these! I didnt think they would eat them at first but as soon as I gave it to them it was gone =)They have allergies to most grains, we feed them a grain-free diet & these are perfect & wont make them itch like crazy. I will definitely purchase these agian & would recommend them to anyone!

The shihpping was VERY fast, I ordered them on Friday night (06/18/2010) & got them today (Monday 06/21/2010).

My 15 year old cat has IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease) and is on a limited ingredient diet. I bought this for him since duck is the protein source of choice for him. It is very hard to find duck treats for cats! He loves these, and I am thrilled to be able to offer him a healthy, tasty treat once again. I wish they came in smaller pieces for cats, but they do split into pieces relatively easily. I am a vet tech who will be happy to share this find with clients in a similar situation. Absolutely worth the price!

I got these because I have an elderly cat with both Diabetes and Inflammatory Bowel Disease and I was glad to find a ' novel protein' low-carb treat for him. He was glad too -he loves them. My other 2 also went crazy about them including the 4 month old kitten who who growl with horrible relish as he devoured the treats. ( I did have to cut or break them into smaller pieces for the kitten but that was no big deal. )

My two kittens can be quite picky with treats, but these things bring out their inner wild ocelot. One bats it around all over the house like half-dead prey for twenty minutes, while the littler one sits in the corner gnawing on it and snarling to break it down and keep it away from other predators. Who knew indoor cats could get this way over a simple treat. These duck hearts are on the big side (for cats or small dogs), but my two kittens seem to like the challenge of taking the time to chomp them down. They're pretty easy to cut into smaller pieces with a butter knife, if you do want to give them bite sized pieces. All in all, I highly recommend!

Z-Bone Box Treat Size: Regular/8-Pack, Flavor: Berry

Z-Bone Box Treat Size: Regular/8-Pack, Flavor: BerryAll Zuke's treats are great. Always look at the ingredients first and their order. There are no fillers or grain in any of the Z-Bones. The only critique I have is that the bones have a rather strong odor. I wouldn't call it a 'bad' smell but we only let our puppy enjoy them in the basement now. All their stuff in made right here in the good ole USA and their production plant is USDA certified. Never buy any dog treats from China!

These are probably my least favorite Zuke treats. The treats themselves were a little 'gummier' than I would have wanted for a dental treat and, two of the dogs, got an very mildly upset stomach after eating them.

Buy Z-Bone Box Treat Size: Regular/8-Pack, Flavor: Berry Now

Labs tend to eat most things but mine gets more excited when he gets a Z-Bone. There are a lot of new products on the market and most have way too many preservatives and fillers in them. I try to eliminate preservatives from the food I eat and do the same for my dogs. I have bought several of the other flavors and they are good as well (as per my dog). Zuke's has a great product line, all with limited preservatives and no fillers.
