PUG DVD! Everything You Should Know + Dog & Puppy Training Bonus

PUG DVD! Everything You Should Know + Dog & Puppy Training BonusFor anyone interested in getting a Pug, but absolutely knows nothing about the breed, this is the level 100 intro. It doesn't cover Pug specific health problems such as sensitivity to high heat, cleaning, etc. It is only the most basic of basic information. Only the first 15-20 minutes of the video actually cover the Pug. The remaining part of the disc is a generic training video with another type of dog, Aussie, I think. My real praise for the video is just for the cute factor of the Pug puppy featured in the DVD. He is a star in the making. The music on the video is repeated throughout and can be quite annoying.

There is a lot of information specific to pugs like; shedding, overheating, housetraining issues, as well as their eyes. This was not covered. It was very generic about dogs. I think the title is misleading.

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 9-Inch Braided Bully Stick Dog Treat, 2-Pack

Loving Pets Pure Buffalo 9-Inch Braided Bully Stick Dog Treat, 2-PackMy dog loves bully sticks, but he is not much of a chewer. I think the thinkness of the braid was just to much (he's a 60 pound lab mix). It was a great deal for what it is, but we're going back to plain old bully sticks for our picky pup.

E-Collar Technologies Einstein Medium/Large Dog Remote Education Collar

E-Collar Technologies Einstein Medium/Large Dog Remote Education CollarThe product itself is excellent. I have a high-drive 75lb German Shepard and the highest setting I have to use for a correction is 50. This may seem like a lot but realize the charge is going through three coats of fur. I tried this setting on myself and while it does get your attention it does not hurt.

The unit is rechargeable and easy to use. Also, once you lock in the level of correction you want you don't have to worry about accidentally raising/lowering the correction level.

Alfie Couture Pet Accessory - Flashing Pet Safety Collar - Collar Color: Baby Blue, LED Light Color:

Alfie Couture Pet Accessory - Flashing Pet Safety Collar - Collar Color: Baby Blue, LED Light Color: Blue, Size: MI first criticized this product but company wrote and explained that the collar had an on/off butttonhidden and no instructions came with it. Now it works very well. I appreciate company positive response and urge others to get this to keep their doggies visible at night.

I really love this lighted collar. My little dog is black and You can see him when we are walking at night. I use a harness so I can't say if it holds up with a leash. But I bought it for safety when he runs at night . I have had numerous people ask where I purchased this. No complaints .

Buy Alfie Couture Pet Accessory - Flashing Pet Safety Collar - Collar Color: Baby Blue, LED Light Color: Now

I purchased this collar along with a LED leash in the matching color because my dog goes out to walk at night and I jog with him in the morning before the sun is fully up. Now I never worry that we won't be seen. Neighbors have called out across the street to ask where to get them for their dogs!

So far it has been durable even in rainy weather.

Round High Quality Genuine Tan Leather Choke Dog Collar 25" Long XLarge

Round High Quality Genuine Tan Leather Choke Dog Collar 25' Long XLargeThe workmanship on these is definitely superior, but the leather is very stiff. I even treated it a few times with mink oil to soften it up; limited success. It was a hassle to return, so I ended up chucking it in a bin for the next yard sale.

Disappointing, because it does look so nice ...

Good quality and just what I was looking for. My dog is a Chow Chow and has a very thick coat, especially around his neck. All of the typical nylon collars are horrible when it comes to causing the mattes in his fur. The rolled leather collar helps keep him matte-free. Also received this in a very timely manner.

Simple Solution Potty Training Aid 16oz

Simple Solution Potty Training Aid 16ozAfter seeing some of the earlier reviews I was a bit skeptical about this product. I got it anyway because it was only $6 and if it works cool and if not then whatever, I'll just go back to what I was doing before. Yorkies are notorious for being difficult to housebreak. With this, and earlier reviews, in mind I really didn't have high expectations. The first time we took her out and sprayed she went right away! I've had it for a week now and everyday she goes when I spray it and has started to go without me spraying. This worked for me. While she doesn't go in the exact spot that I sprayed she will sniff the area and then about 30-45 seconds to 1 minute later relieve herself.

Simple Solutions is a good brand, but this product is a huge FAIL! i would spray the area where i wanted my dog to use the bathroom & instead of going to the spot, it seemed like he would avoid it. When he did go over to the spot, he would lick the sprayed area. As far as training my dog, it didn't work for me.

does not work. When a return was submitted, I would have to pay to ship it back...not worth it. I would NEVER buy again.

I can't say that this works on training pads because I don't use them to potty train my dogs, but I have been using it on my PupPad (the artificial grass potty training pad), and the spray seems to work in conjunction with the pad. I've washed the PupPad numerous times, so the original "dog pee scent" has been washed away, and after spraying the pad again with this spray, my 5 month old puppy knows to go potty on it. I haven't tested it on any other training pads, so I can't say that it works 100%. It does seem to work on the artificial grass though.

I used it faithfully for two weeks. My dog NEVER went where I sprayed. It was like it was a repelant

Remote 300m Range Electronic Dog Training Collar for 2 Dogs Rechargeable and Waterproof

Remote 300m Range Electronic Dog Training Collar for 2 Dogs Rechargeable and WaterproofThese Petrainer collars are offered by Esky and Pet-Ed at lower prices. They are not waterproof, not even water resistant, as some sellers claim. Without immersion I had two fail after the dog ran in shallow water at the beach. Otherwise, while they worked the dog responded very well and only needed a vibration or beep to remind him when needed. After the last failure I continued to have him wear the defunct collar, and he still behaved well; well almost. Unless you live in a dry area, don't waste your money.

LED Nylon Night Safety Dog Collar by Nite Ize - Red - Small

LED Nylon Night Safety Dog Collar by Nite Ize - Red - SmallI will probably always have one of this on my dog since we do a lot of night time walks. Issues: 1. Batter use is a bit high. 2. Reflective strip is going away within a few months. 3. Fiber optic element pulls out easily but can be put back easily as well. 4. Not waterproof just water resistant be forewarned. 5. Easily slide back to full size position with current clasping mechanism. All these issues aside I have purchased several for friends and relatives due to the safety factor. Better than a hanging medallion in medium and short haired dogs collar tends to disappear in long coated dogs.

Even though my dog is on a lease it is still dark when I walk. I really like the quality.

Housebreaking / Training Pads-DTP4

Housebreaking / Training Pads-DTP4I have had several house trained dogs for 15 years and these are the most absorbant pads I have found. They are more expensive but worth the extra cost because less expensive products are not as absorbant and require more frequent replacement. Also, cheaper pads bunch up when they have been urinated on and leak through.

Etekcity Rechargeable Wireless Remote LCD digital Shock & Vibrate Dog Pet Training Collar

Etekcity Rechargeable Wireless Remote LCD digital Shock & Vibrate Dog Pet Training CollarThis collar claimed to be waterproof, but as soon as my dog got water splashed on it (not even submerged) it quit working.

I like the way it works and so far has not failed in anyway. The only problem is some times I change it to number 2 by mistake when it should be on number 1, which again is my fault. I would buy again if needed and I would recommend to anyone. It is a good value!

Buy Etekcity Rechargeable Wireless Remote LCD digital Shock & Vibrate Dog Pet Training Collar Now

My black lab could definitely feel the shock. I don't like to shock her, so after a few warnings, we switched to the vibrate. It seems like the device take too long to respond after it falls to sleep. I have to hit the mode button a few times, then I'm checking to make sure it's not on shock, by that time she's annihilated what ever she was getting in trouble for LOL.

I think if you are using this device during a training session, it would be GREAT! As a deterrent of bad behavior using only occasionally, not so much. I love that it is rechargeable, and it doesn't seem uncomfortable for the 75+ lb "puppy". You can't go wrong with the price...

PoochieBells Solid Classic Red Dog Potty Training Doorbell

PoochieBells Solid Classic Red Dog Potty Training DoorbellI have 7 dogs. Some prefer to stare me down when they have to go out, some just cry. My English bulldog loves to ring these bells. She rams into them and creates a loud noise, but at least I know that she has to go out. I never really taught her how to use them...I just hung them on the patio door and she watched one of my other dogs. It took her a while, but now she uses her bells all the time. She just turned 1 and has been potty trained since she was about 4 months old. These bells help a lot. Of course, there are false alarms...sometimes she just wants to go and play. But, I'll take that over accidents on the carpet any day!

English Bulldogs are NOT the easiest dogs to train (nor are they the brightest), but she seemed to catch on well.

My dog has learnt to tap the bell and we totally love it. Even with a slight tap, the ring/chime (whatever) is audible and you can then attend to the dogs need. The bell is just very effective.

Great! My dog learned to ring the bell rather quickly and we love it. Great product for your pet to let you know he needs to go out to do his business or just to be outside.

When I first opened the package I was unsure how successful we'd be training our lab to ring the bells on our sliding glass door. Especially since she barked in fear and the first sound of the bells ringing. But we were diligent and followed the instructions and it's been over a month now and she is 100% trained to ring the bells when she wants to go outside (OR wants to call me over for attention

Squawkie Talkies Flamingo - Squeaking Dog Toy

Squawkie Talkies Flamingo - Squeaking Dog Toy
  • have a unique patent
  • with a squeeze
  • will squawk for a continuous 10 seconds
  • Actual Dimensions: Depth - 4.00 ; Width - 3.00 ; Length - 18.00
  • Actual Weight: 0.64 .lbs

However, if dog toys annoy you...don't buy this!! This toy has brought hours of laughter to my family and hours of play for my dog. It squawks when it re-inflates so my dog treats it differently than his other toys. He talks to it and handles it gently. I have no idea why other than he thinks it is alive. It is a horrendous noise! But if you are looking for laughs and entertainment for your pet, this is it! Fairly durable. His last one lasted about 6 months of regular play.

Zanies 3-Inch Polyester/Polyfill Bitty Buddy Dog Training Toy, Miss Kitty

Zanies 3-Inch Polyester/Polyfill Bitty Buddy Dog Training Toy, Miss KittyBought three a few months ago and my small dogs love them. One has been chewed up but the others still going strong. Will buy them again.

This arrived and my mouth dropped open. It looked nothing like it was shown on the website. The color was really pale. This was bought for a small poodle and after looking at it, I would not give to the dog for fear she would swallow it. Now I am wondering about the other toys I bought that are Zanies. I haven't received them as of yet.

Innotek Train-INN-FS15 Free Spirit Basic Remote Trainer

Innotek Train-INN-FS15 Free Spirit Basic Remote TrainerI gave it a 3 star only because after 2 days, I had it on my dogs and also had another collar with the tags and it would lose the connection from the collar to the remote. The only way to fix it was to remove the battery in the collar and put it back in. I called the customer service on the product. More than likely I will send the product back because I had a previous collar from Innotek that I thought stopped working but suddenly started and much prefer it. I have had it for 13 years.

Grannicks Bitter Apple 8oz w/Sprayer

Grannicks Bitter Apple 8oz w/SprayerHave tried a few different sprays that are supposed to keep the dogs from chewing. Our little pommeranian mix disliked a couple of them but our cattle dog mix liked the taste of them and would chew even more. This one worked the first time! They had both started chewing on the corner of my hope chest and I sprayed it on the area they had chewed on. Both dogs just had to lick to see what it was. The faces they made were comical and the water dish was soon in use. They will not chew or lick anything with this on it...just the smell reminds them how bad it tastes.

My doberman has super dry/itchy skin. For 6 years, my husband and I have looked and tried so many products on her fur to make her stop itching her "hot spots" on her back. NOTHING ELSE WORKS.

This bitter apple spray is amazing. She doesn't lick her back.

Highly recommend.

I bought this to help stop my 3 month old Lab from chewing things and it works, but only when the solution is freshly sprayed on the object. Once its dry you have to reapply for it to work again. I would have liked a spray that would continue to work even after the solution has dried...

Read Best Reviews of Grannicks Bitter Apple 8oz w/Sprayer Here

Our dog trainer recommends using Grannick's but you must put a spray inside the dog's lip when you spray it on furniture. Then the dog remembers the intensity of that experience next time he even faintly tastes it. It works much longer that way. The real fix is to always crate your puppy when out of your view.

Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Medium, My Little Angel/Red

Gentle Leader Deluxe Head Collar and Leash, Medium, My Little Angel/RedOur golden retreiver pup is still very independent and is being trained to follow rather than lead...

That is fine but walking her was an unenjoyable chore. At the end of the walk she was frustrated and exhasted from pulling, she got no socialization benefit because she was too impatient and WE were frustrated. No one got any enjoyment or benefit from these sessions.

Enter the Gentle Leader. It was like turning on a switch. It was instant. It is like brakes, accelerator and steering wheel for your dog, all in one. Instantly walks became enjoyable for all of us. She took her time and checked out her environment. She was completely under control so she was able to meet people and other dogs. The benefits are so much more extensive than saving your shoulder joint.

After close observation it almost looks like she likes her flat collar less. As soon as she gets it on she wants to pull away from it. The gentle leader actually seems to calm her down.

A week ago no one in the family would volunteer for a 30 minute walk. This weekend she went out to two local parks for two plus hours each day and we got compliment after compliment about how well behaved she was, along with questions about where we took her for obedience training!

The family and the dog had so much fun together this weekend. By Sunday night everyone was in a better mood. The dog felt better and learned about lots of new things. She used less energy so we could stay out longer, and longer walks means more socialization. The family was encouraged and in a much better frame of mind to work with the dog the rest of the day. Everyone benefitted and we all grew closer and after all THAT is what this is all about.

We've used the Gentle Leader with two dogs, and with patience, they are a great training tool and a relief from dogs that pull. The key is to start when they are puppies, if you have that ability. You have to make sure they are properly fitted that being tight enough on the nose and the back of the head. So make sure you buy the correct size, which means if you adopt a puppy which grows into a larger dog, you'll have to invest in another at some point. The good news is, you'll have the smaller one for when you adopt your next dog!

We have a lab puppy that is 5 months old. I have been struggling with the martingale collar trying to teach her to 'walk' rather than run and pull and make a complete mess of our quality walk time (I do it twice a day as she is full of beans and needs 2 x 20 min walks, and am the reluctantly nominated 'leader of the pack'!). I have been increasingly frustrated and have been feeling emotional rage towards our lovable puppy.

However, the Gentle Leader arrived from Amazon today afternoon and I immediately watched the video, then tried to put the collar on. Our doggie resisted it like hell,but eventually I managed to get it in place so she could not get it off.

AND, we went for a walk.....

I have just walked back into our home after my best walk of my life with our puppy! Clearly, I think she was in some level of discomfort due to the newness of the collar, but she was absolutely brilliant on the walk! All the birdies, other doggies, every stone and piece of twig that she usually goes after were all left alone (in return for a hug, every 10 metres or so, plus loads of bikis!). I am hoping that in time the discomfort goes off and she actually enjoys the walks as well.

I am immensely grateful to you guys for this and cannot stop grinning from ear to ear!

Please watch the video before using the collar it is really useful and good and makes your life easier.

Bravo!!

I am disappointed with this product. The collar is very very narrow in width, not wide like the plain style medium sized one from Gentle Leader even though it's the same size. The clasp to keep the muzzle part in place won't stay put so it is constantly falling off my dog's muzzle. I've used other gentle leaders before and this one just wasn't the same quality.

I purchased this as a recommendation of our vet...my dog HATES it!! I have given up on the head collar entirely and use the leash with a harness. She is happier, and I can actually get her to WALK instead of constantly rubbing her face into the ground or with her paws to get the silly thing off. Even with the instructional DVD I can see no advantage to investing any more time or aggravation into using the head collar. Turned out to be an expensive leash...maybe it just didn't fit her properly, either way, I will not try a head collar again

Zuke's Z-Bones - Natural Edible Dental Chews - Apple Crisp - Mini - 18 count

Zuke's Z-Bones - Natural Edible Dental Chews - Apple Crisp - Mini - 18 countAs a proud pet parent of a six-pound Yorkie, I try to provide her with the healthiest possible food and treats preferably products that are made in the United States, given the recent issues with pet food and toys made in China and other countries.

The little one LOVES these Z-Bones (Apple Crisp is her favorite, though she also enjoys the Cherry flavor) and they're the perfect size for her to chew on. They usually provide her with 20 minutes of quality chew time, and are GREAT for improving her breath. They're easy for her to digest, as well.

One word of caution, which applies with ANY dog treats or bones: supervise your pet! When they get to the end of these things, that little piece is just big enough to get lodged in their throat if you're not watching them!

Overall: a great, healthy product made in the U.S.! Your dog won't be disappointed!

Great product, good wholesome ingredients...our three little rescued dogs love these as daily treat. Cleans their teeth while giving them about 30 minutes of 'entertainment chewing'. Highly recommend all the flavors.
