Halti Head Dog Halter Size: 5

Halti Head Dog Halter Size: 5I bought this to add to our supplies for the dogs that we train. I love this brand because it has the safety strap that means if they slip the head collar off you still have control of your dog and they are not lose, unlike some other brands.

WACKYwalk'r Dog Leash - Large - Orange

WACKYwalk'r Dog Leash - Large - OrangeI love this leash. It's so much easier to walk the dog now! I have recommended it to friends on Facebook..

We have a beagle/husky and live in a neighbor with a stray cat problem. Needless to say, before this leash, she had broken 2 retractables and the standard leashes just ripped right out of our hands. After she almost tore my shoulder out, I found this online, and thought why not. It's been absolutely wonderful. She can try to pull, but it just doesn't work on her end. I love it!

The Buddy System - Hands Free Leash - Regular Dog System - Blue Regular

The Buddy System - Hands Free Leash - Regular Dog System - Blue RegularThis is a fantastic system to use when training crazy young puppies and dogs! It keeps your dog safely attached to you, leaving both of your hands free to Click your clicker, give hand signals, and treat your dog! This product feels very sturdy and well made. The leash material is very thick and feels like it will stand up well to prolonged use. All of the buckles and the leash clasp feel sturdy as well. The leash clasp can unbuckle from the leash itself (as you can see in the stock photo) so you can let your dog roam or swim, and then hook them back up after. The leash section itself can also unbuckle, allowing you to use it just like a normal leash and is adjustable from 22" 40".

As a group dog class instructor, this has become an invaluable tool for me. I can hook my demo dog to me, and gesture with my hands while giving demonstrations, without one of my hands being tied up holding a leash.

I also recommend this product to clients that are having trouble with leash pulling, as it helps prevent you from allowing your dog to pull your arm in different directions. You're strongest at your trunk (around hips, waist) so it gives you better control of a pulling dog and they are less likely to pull you over, though I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with lower back issues.

I also love this for hiking trips when my dog can't be off leash because I can adjust how much leash to give him and it's almost like he is off leash, but I still have 2 hands free to take photos. I haven't bought any of the accessory leashes, but I'm seriously considering the bungee leash for hikes as well.

I would definitely buy this product again and recommend it to all of my dog training clients.

SportDOG YardTrainer 105 Dog Trainer, SD-105

SportDOG YardTrainer 105 Dog Trainer, SD-105We recently purchased the Sport Dog shock collar. Me being the reluctant female(thinking..."ohhhh...how cruel", and my husband being ever so reassuring that it really would be beneficial, AND he would test it on himself(be he ever so manly...I had to see that one!)... We bought it for the sole intent of gaining immediate and definitive control of our then 7 month old/70lb doberman pup, since we have two children roughly the same size as the dog with the dog soon to surpass them in size. Setting 1 did absolutely nothing, setting 2...well, dog ran around confused after the correction. Setting 3 definitely got his full attention. I was a believer after using this the first couple of times that it is VERY VERY effective in a good way. The best part is the warning tone... you give the corrective command, and when dog does not respond, you beep then immediately give the corrective shock(what really amounts to a strong static shock from walking across the carpet and touching another human...even tried it on myself...and I'm a GIRL!)... The positive thing about the warning tone is that after just a couple of shocks after the tone...ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS beep...dog magically responds, and does as he should. Great for a bark collar as well. When my overzealous barker goes nutzo in the backyard just because he wants to hear himself bark...I give the tone from in the house...he STOPS barking, and will quietly go about his routine outside time only to bark at the really emminent threats(well...that he perceives when the cat walks on the fence!). Batteries last okay... we really just got lazy about turning the unit off EVERY time, so they did run down within a couple of weeks of use, but not that expensive to buy a couple more at the local market. The ONLY CON is that when the collar is not on the dog, he KNOWS it, and pushes his luck a bit more. I have heard tale of other collars having a dummy collar for just such cases, so I am considering making up a dummy for him to maybe trick him into thinking it's always on until he is a grown up doggie, and will be all knowing in the ways of human expectation of less barking, no jumping on the glass door, no sniffing the no-no area on guest or pack members, and come to my side when I say... On that last note: that was the BEST part when my lunatic came immediately to my side after saying "Come", tone, zap! Pretty soon, "Come", tone".... now just "Come", and voila', he's there! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

I did a lot of research on these before I purchased one for my cocker spaniel. Many of the other products out there, at $20-$50 less, had great reviews BUT when you looked at the actual review, the products had many problems (distance less than expected, batteries wearing out quickly, not working at all after a few months, etc.). It appeared as if they were scored high because the dogs stopped doing what the owners wanted and therefore rated thier experience as good even thought the product failed.

My dog was quite well behaved but at one year old, I still struggled with "come" and "stay" and he also didn't walk consistently well and when excited would constantly pull on the leash. THIS PRODUCT HAS TURNED HIM INTO THE PERFECT DOG!!!

At first, he wore it all day and I used it for every command. I followed the directions carefully and combined my command with the tone and then correction when he did not listen. He now only wears it when we walk or are just hanging out in the front yard (non fenced). He listens to me with out the collar on 98% of the time (still a puppy) and when wearing the collar he rarely needs corrections. I walk him with this instead of a leash and we can walk by other crazy, pulling, barking, snarling, yapping dogs and he stays right at my heal and looks at them like they are crazy.

And I have owned this product for 3 months and have not had to change or replace the batteries and have yet to find a range/distance it did not work. Sometimes I can't see where my dog is and I call him and give the tone and he appears immediately.

THIS PRODUCT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY I PAID. Highly recommend this brand.

I just got it and I'm fairly happy so far. It's small and lightweight as advertised and the quality seems good. Loading batteries into the receiver can be tricky so be careful. The transmitter and receiver each take two batteries. I don't know yet how long they will last. The snap collar makes fastening easy. My biggest disappointment was that the collar would not fit my Cocker Spaniel. If your dog's neck size is smaller than 15", look for a different collar. The stimulation levels seem good I tested levels 1-4 on my underarm. Level one was barely noticeable, level four approaches discomfort and will probably be the highest I will need. Features that this model doesn't have but you may want to look for include rechargable batteries, waterproof transmitter, momentary stimulation and remote turn-off.

I ordered the yard trainer for my LAB. We go to the park Monday thru Saturday mornings and walk with other dog walkers and their dogs. Our dogs are allowed to run free, and they love it. My dog was the only one who kept her nose on the ground and ate everything from paper to poop. The trainer has helped a great deal, but we're not "there" yet. Only one problem so far. When it is cold (below 20 degrees or so), it freezes up and won't stay "on" or won't even turn on. Come warm weather, I hope to see more improvement both in her disgusting eating habit as well as her obedience.

I was hesitant to use an E-collar but my 7 month old GSD puppy was just getting a bit out of hand with the chewing and jumping and barking and everything else. She is a good puppy most of the time but when she wants something, she'll pretty much knock down the glass door and she won't stop no matter what we do. Knowing that giving in would just empower her and reinforce the behavior, I got this collar after researching all the alternatives.

I tested it on myself and determined that level 2 gives a slight numbing pulse while 4 gives a little snap like a higher powered static charge when you get out of your car and touch the car door on a cold day. I read the manual which is pretty good and straight forward and started working with the dog. The dog is already pretty good with "sit" and "down" and sometimes "come" but not "heel". I also couldn't take the dog out without a leash and it was always a battle with the tugging and pulling. One time it broke off a smaller collar and I had to buy a big thick double heavy duty nylon collar to hold her.

The behavior changed within 1 day of using this collar. The dog comes immediately when I call and I just have to beep and she'll run over and sit next to me. I don't need to shock her anymore after just 1 day as long as she sees me. I still have to shock her though if she doesn't see me and she will still jump all over the wife and kid so I have to monitor her.

First time walking her without a leash, she ran off to the neighbor's house as she always does, I beeped, she didn't respond, I turned on the shock, she ran back so fast at a full gallop that when she couldn't stop in time next to me, she hit my legs and almost knocked me over. The second time, she ventured out a few feet but didn't dare go past me. We took a walk around the neighborhood without a leash and she was always by my side. Truly amazing.

Like the heading says, it's only been 3 weeks and I have to constantly monitor her with the collar and once in a while I have to beep it to remind her to behave but I don't have to use the shock unless she is getting very unruly with the wife, then I have to use the shock to remind her to behave. Batteries are still good, but I always turn it off when not in use.

Even though this is a great tool, it is no substitute for taking the time to work with the dog. This will speed things up and supplement a good training regimen, but it is not a substitute.

Cloud Star Soft & Chewy Buddy Biscuits Dog Treats, Peanut Butter, 6-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 4)

Cloud Star Soft & Chewy Buddy Biscuits Dog Treats, Peanut Butter, 6-Ounce PouchesI have chihuahuas so we need smaller treats. One is losing her teeth and she is still able to eat these treats because they are soft. They are also easy to break in two, since I give them each just half of biscuit as a treat.

I appreciate the quality of ingredients and that they are made in the USA. If you've ever researched the ingredients in most pet foods and treats, you'll understand why this matters. The resealable package helps keep them fresh. The dogs know the sound of the bag opening and they go nuts!

To say my dog loves these is a huge understatement. She knows the sound of the bag now and will sit staring intently and can barely contain herself when she sees someone getting one out. As soon as the bag opens her little nose starts twitching like crazy. She is not like this with many treats! We call them "peanut butter men" and she now knows them by name. I'm tempted to try one myself to see what all the fuss is about. And they are made in the U.S.A!

I started training my puppy with these and he absolutely loves them. I bought some other treats from the pet store but my puppy does not like them. Since my puppy is a small breed I cut each treat into four. Every time my puppy sees the treat bag he starts barking and gets so really excited I am curious on trying a treat myself.

Great product for walking the dog! I walk my Benny for hour a day and put four in my pocket and when he jumps over a stump I always give one! He loves all the flavors but peanut butter is the favorite and they are chewy and not crispy like how some dogs do not like baked or crispy snack. 4 bags for a good price and last a long time it seems! Great treats for your dog and great for training and quick rewards.

Dog Agility Equipment - Tire Jump, Weave Poles, Single Jump & Tunnel - Beginners Bundle / Package

Dog Agility Equipment - Tire Jump, Weave Poles, Single Jump & Tunnel - Beginners Bundle / PackageThis product is very good quality and stands up to my Great Danes, who very much enjoy going through the tunnel, although they have to crouch to enter. There are no written instructions, but the vendor includes photos of the equipment so it's pretty easy to figure out what goes where when assembling. My 12-year-old daughter put the tire jump and hurdle together with no problem. I plan to buy more equipment from this seller in future.

Great starter kit. It is easily blown over in the wind however. I have had some difficulty adjusting the tire jump height because the metal pieces fit so tightly.

Funny Face

Funny FaceI have a Scottish Terrier and a Jack Russell and both dogs love these balls. They chase them in the house and in the yard. I can see where they are too small for larger dogs but they are just the right size for my two.

Nor will you get to choose the face of the ball. I had a couple of them, not from this seller, so I wanted to choose my face, but was expecting to get more than one ball for about 7.00. Let's face it, these cost probably 50 cents per ball. I thought I was getting more than one or at least got to choose the face. Oh well, too expensive. Make sure you read the print at the end as you will not get the six balls shown in the mail, kind of misleading.

Chompy Romper Tug Dog Toy

Grriggles Rubber Chompy Romper Tug Dog Toy, 9-1/2-Inch, Ultra VioletI purchased this for my two labradors, who together destroy toys, and it has held up pretty well over the past two weeks. There are definitely signs of wear, and I am pretty sure that my most destructive dog could chew this thing to pieces if left unattended; however it is constructed out of a fairly sturdy rubber that has proven much stronger than any of the fabric or rope tug-of-war toys I have seen so far.

Advanced Portable Sonic Dog Repeller

Advanced Portable Sonic Dog RepellerI must state that I bought this to deter two dogs who always "dogg" me on my daily walks. The device had no effect on them. In fairness I must point out two other similar but different brand devices also had no effect. So I bought one of the pepper sprays to use as a last resort, and THAT DID have an effect.

I purchased this dog repeller in the hope that it would prove to be a help when confronted with a dog or dogs which appeared aggressive. I am a cyclist and often have problems with loose dogs. I am always very concerned about this when I am abroad.

I found that it did not work at all. Even at close range, dogs were unaware of any change in the environment.

Eventually I used the repeller with friends' pets and they ignored it too.

Excelvan Remote Control Dog Training Transmitter & Rechargeable Collar, 100 Level Shock and Vibratio

Excelvan Remote Control Dog Training Transmitter & Rechargeable Collar, 100 Level Shock and Vibration + FREE Micro SD/TF Card ReaderThis product was a replacement for a previous unsatisfactory product of a similar type. I was silly enough to believe the description. First, this product is the SAME manufacturer and design of the previous unsatisfactory product. Its features are identical even though the external design is slightly different, everything else is exactly the same. Next, the documentation and instructions are incomplete and in some ways indecipherable. It took me a long time to figure out some features and I am still uncertain about the operation of the device. Finally, even though the product is working, its function is inadequate to get the attention of my stubborn old mutt on full power. It works, but I think one should shop a little more carefully than I have.

Ricko Dogsitter - A Humane Way to Stop Dog Barking When You Aren't At Home.

Ricko Dogsitter - A Humane Way to Stop Dog Barking When You Aren't At Home.I have a miniature dachshund mix, Ace, who suffers from a bit of separation anxiety; i.e. barking & bothering neighbors when I am not home. I had exhausted all other options & felt extremely frustrated in not having found anything to help with our problem. As advocate for the safe & humane treatment of all animals I was thrilled to find Ricko!

Though a bit skeptical at first of it's ability to curb my dogs barking tendencies, I am happy to report that it has worked wonders for my pup! Ace is comforted by the sound of my voice & recording & I can monitor the amount of times he has barked when I am away. His barks have decreased dramatically since I began using Ricko. We're both very happy with the product, as are our neighbors :) Ace & I highly recommend this product!!!

I am the proud owner of a 2year-old male Weimaraner, well trained, well behaved but my neighbors complain about the dog's persistent barking whenever I leave the house. Of course I was aware that this had to stop because of the noise level, but no chew toy kept my dog from barking non-stop until I came back home. I checked the pet stores, talked to the breeder and the vet, but all of their recommendations -basically everything on the market for barking controlstrikes me as inhumane.

Then I discovered "ricko" a tool to control my dog's barking with a 'natural' approach that fits with training. I tried a few command recordings and it worked instantly:

dog's quiet, neighbors are too.

In addition, "ricko" takes care of the cause leading to the barking: my dog's feeling of being left behind. Eventhough I'm not home, the dog's call is now being answered by my voice.

Buy Ricko Dogsitter - A Humane Way to Stop Dog Barking When You Aren't At Home. Now

I found this product while searching for something that would help us with my barking dog. We've tried everything and nothing seemed to work. The neighbors were getting upset and we had to do something.

Super easy to set-up and use. I am recommending it to all our friends that have dogs. Finally someone has come out with a humane way to stop the excessive barking. Stores tried to sell us shock collars as the only "true way" to stop the barking that just wasn't going to happen. This is the solution we've been looking for.

Highly recommended.

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

Fresh Is Best Freeze-Dried Raw Whole Chicken Heart Treats for Dogs and CatsI was skeptical at first, but my "wolfie" has been on a raw diet for a while, so this seemed like a good companion snack. Surprisingly, "dried" doesn't always mean lack of moisture, as these are some juicy morsels that keep my pet performing tricks for treats until I give out. Each one is a generous portion, even for my baby who's a pretty big boy, so I always slice them before feeding. It's also great to aid those sometimes finicky eaters, as an occasional sliced topper for meals. The package may seem small, but a little goes a long way.

I bought these recently for my two kitties that eat a grain-free diet. I thought these would make a nice treat and boy, I was not disappointed. They love these so much they refuse to accept any other treats I offer. As another reviewer said, these are too big to be bite-size for a cat, so I cut them up (which is kinda gross, but better for them). They're a bit stinky to me but they store easily and one package will last a good while for my two cats. They absolutely love these. As soon as they see me grab the bag and head for the kitchen shears, they come running. They purr as they eat them, and then they come over and thank me with plenty of rubs and more purrs. These are definitely unbeatable, and I'll be trying out a few more of the other varieties as well to see what they like best. A bit pricey when compared to cheapo grain and cheese snacks, but well worth the extra expense to feed them something better suited to their diet that they love.

You simply can't find a more healthy, pure treat. My cats go crazy for these. They aren't quite bite sized for a feline though, so I just cut them up. Very good product!
