K9 Flyer Jr Dog Toy in Lime

The K-9 Flyer JR - 6 1/2'My dog hasn't really taken to this yet. It's smaller than I expected and it's so heavy that she's afraid of it at the moment.

I think I would have been better off getting a lighter-weight frisbee.

Our frisbee dog loves these, either size. It takes some practice to get a good even, straight throw, but our 5 yr old can do it. They do take quite a beating/chewing, but if left alone our dog will chew the center out. Although, even with the center out it still flies. It's also easy on the teeth and gums for catching. Our dog gets bloddy teeth if catching the typical plastic frisbee.

Our Australian Cattle Dog loves the small size of this frisbee. It is soft enough to avoid hurting her mouth and she gets a great satisfaction out of shaking it as she brings it back. More pet store chains should be carrying this item.

Soft and floppy with no sharp edges that will hurt your dogs mouth! Holds up great to dog teeth and crazy wild canine tugging!

You need to look around but this is the best Frisbee type disc on the market. I could not properly exercise my border collies without them. The small once re the perfect size. They are much easier on the gums and teeth then the hard vinyl and they will sail a long way. Don't use them as chew toys. Some sites are still offering them below $6. They have gone up in price with the rise in the cost of petroleum.

Pet Parade's Wireless Bark Buster Training Tool

Pet Parade's Wireless Bark Buster Training ToolI just got this device today and so far it works. I have a very irresponsible and inconsiderate neighbor who did nothing about her young barking dog. I complained to the Homeowners' Association and to Animal Control but both are processes that were not going to get me a good night's sleep for a long time. Soundproof windows were just too costly an option. So, I purchased this device in hopes that it might provide some relief. I put it up and it seemed to work immediately. Watching the dog's reaction gave me mixed feelings of 1) happiness that the device actually worked and could bring some relief; 2) guilt that it seemed to cause the dog extreme discomfort; and 3) anger at the owner for letting the situation get to this point. I think after the first few days of round the clock training, I'll only be turning the device on at night when I really need the peace and quiet. Hopefully, I can train this OTHER PERSON'S DOG to just pipe down at night. The device definitely works but is not for the faint of heart. You will have to choose between the annoying barking and the pathetic whimpering.

I've been listening to my own dogs bark for years and just can't take it anymore. When I saw this product on tv I couldn't believe I was yet again falling for another "as seen on tv" product, the price was right I had nothing to lose. My 1 dog hasn't barked since turning this device on and the other just a little. Most of these reviews are based on trying to stop outside dogs from barking not your own in your home not sure if that makes a difference but I have to say despite the others I'm happy with the results :)

I bought 2 as gifts for family. Neither worked on big or small dogs. I then bought the dog bark reducer is the one that looks like a birdhouse. Worked great. I bought 2 more for family. It struggles to contain the the little yapper dogs but eventually works.

So my dog likes to protect my room and bark...even with a wagging tail. I bought this to keep him quiet when friends came to visit. When I turned it on and he barked it definitely worked. He put his head down and went under the bed. Although I felt bad it felt so good to carry on a conversation with out trying to shush him.

Now here's the problem. I don't know when its going off. I wish there was a light that went off when it was emitting the sound. My roommate has 2 dogs who bark as well and I don't know when their barking is punishing my my dog. Or if the batteries are still working.

I think people need to realize that dogs ears are different among themselves. My parents have a dog that acts weird when a cell battery gets low and is beeping... while the others don't seem to be phased.

This thing does not work. I tried it positioned in many different ways, inside and out, and still nothing. I would not recommend buying this product. A waste of money.

SportDOG Bark Control - 18 levels

SportDOG Bark Control - 18 levelsWe have two very bark-y dachshunds that have caused neighbors to leave us anonymous notes of complaint about them barking constantly while we were away from home, so we have no choice but to use bark control collars on them while we are at work (it was either that or have their vocal cords cut, which I consider more inhumane than a bark collar). I like the bark control part of this collar very much, as it has 18 levels of correction. There are 3 different settings you can choose for your dog, each with 6 correction levels. Whichever setting you use, it will gradually increase the "correction" level until the dog stops barking, then will reset back down to the lowest correction level for that setting for when they begin barking again. It is extremely effective, and if they bark at all, they only get one or two barks out and then stop. Before purchasing this collar, we used another brand that only reset down 1 level below the last "correction" they received, which didn't seem fair in my opinion. Incidentally, our male doxie has to be on the middle setting (he's quite stubborn) but the female does well on the first (lowest) setting. We've never had to go to level 3, which I imagine would be reserved for large, stubborn dogs.

Another great feature of the bark control equipment on this collar is that it has an "off" setting, which is great for when you pack them for travel or store them away for an extended time. We've had the bark control equipment that comes with this collar for just over 7 months now and the batteries are still holding strong.

The only reason I don't give this particular product a 5 star rating is because the collar itself is awful. After we purchased these, we ended up replacing the collars immediately with nylon collars. The plastic is hard and not very flexible, and it was too big for our dachshunds (which are supposed to be miniatures, but are more "maxi-minis" since they weigh in at about 15 lbs each). Consider instead the PetSafe PDBC-300 Deluxe Bark Control Collar. It's the same bark control equipment as this item, but with a nylon collar.

I have a SportDog SBC10 that works well. I bought this product(SBC-18)and it is crap. The intensity/test switch will not stay at one setting, the dogs can change the setting during play. Most of the time I put the collar on at night and by morning the switch is on test and my dog is happily barking away.Don't buy this product.

These collars do work work but are hard on the batteries, I've had to replace them a couple of times in two months. The only part vulnerable is the microphone. If you have more than one dog (I have three) the others can (and did)damage the microphone.

Had the 10R model for a couple years for our larger dog, but it was way too big and heavy for our 11 lb. terrier. This model is much lighter and works well. The first unit has a sensor issue but was replaced with an extra collar by the factory. They have excellent customer service.

I bought this item just a couple days ago at Cabelas. The first unit I purchased was defective as the light stayed on in test mode and did not flash. I promptly returned it and now have a properly working model. The batteries last 3-6mo depend upon use and new batteries can be purchased at a local pet store for $10 for a pair of them. I recommended testing all three levels to find the one that works. For my dog the lowest mode did nothing, I could tell the middle power would curb the length of each individual bark. However on the highest mode it had an immediate affect on him, even when I would take him outside without this collar on he would look hesitantly at me prior to attempting to bark. My dog is a 9mo old puppy and I would strongly encourage any pet owner to use this on your dog as a puppy when he is young and eager to learn. I am hoping only to have to use this on him for a couple of months. If your dog is older and constantly barks with this on then there may be other behavior factors to consider and you may want to look into other means to correct its barking. Ultimately, I'm very happy with this device and would consider it an important part of puppy training.

Anima Gold Sparkle Harness and Leash Set, XX-Small

Anima Gold Sparkle Harness and Leash Set, XX-SmallHave owned yorkies for thirty years and expecting a new pup so I bought this for her. It looks very cute, well made, and will also coordinate with my rhinestone and gold retractable leash for times in the park. If you are looking at this item then you will understand the previous statement. It looks great. Enjoy your fancy dog in it. And don't forget to put a gold bow in the puppy's hair so she (or he) will coordinate well. (lol)

I am a foster mom for a small dog rescue, and have nearly every brand of harness in my stash. But of them all, these are my favorite, and all 6 of our dogs dress like little kings and queens in their glittery vests. The pictures here don't begin to indicate how shiny, classy, and expensive they look. They do cover more of the upper torso than it appears in the pictures, which I like. The velcro at the throat and tummy is strong and large enough to allow for adjustment. If you can be careful to keep the dog's hair out of the way when fastening the velcro, the vests will stay on well even if you have a "puller" at the end of the leash. And having a matching leash really makes this set look high-end. I have these in the pink (for our girls) and the gold (for the boys), but wish they would make these in more color choices. Red would be amazing at Christmas and in Feb. for Valentine's Day.They are REALLY sparkly in the sun, and I get stopped constantly by people who want to have them, too. These are well-worth the price, and they really are (gently) washable. (FYI, I use the SMALL size for our 6 lb. Chihuahua and Pommies.)

This harness wraps safely around my long haired puppy. I have to be careful not to catch her hair between the velcro, which makes it not stick well. But when i pull the hair out of the way it is a safe, secure and comfortable harness.

Boss Pet - Prestige 50ft Skyline Aerial Dog Run

Boss Pet - Prestige 50ft Skyline Aerial Dog RunWe gave this to our dog for Christmas. Not that he could open the gift or that he even celebrates. Still, the smile on his face (he smiles) let us know he appreciated our thought. And then we installed it and he was thrilled. We mounted the device on the back porch and into the woods. Our dog is loving being able to walk in the woods on his own. I think he really likes being out there without company sometimes. Maybe he is meditating? Whatever he is doing out there, he loves it. And so do we.

I bought this trolley for my puppy, back when he was much smaller. I had forgotten the weight rating, but I suspected it was time to replace it: sure enough, the now 67-pound puppy pulled the anchor out of the side of the house this afternoon. This particular version is rated for 60 pounds -so make sure you respect that weight rating, and if in doubt, size up!

The trolley worked well when the dog was within its weight limits. However, it only comes with one stop; if you need another, you'll have to go out and get a cable clamp. It shouldn't cost you more than a dollar or two. They really should include two in the set (especially since it would cost them next-to-nothing to do it!).

Simple Solution Training Pad Holder

Simple Solution Training Pad HolderOur adorable little beagle pup had a problem with seeing his training pads as play toys; a terrifying prospect we had to nip in the bud. Thankfully we came across this item, bought it and have used it ever since to great success. Granted, the instructions on how to assemble the 8 different pieces are absolutely no help at all, but eventually you can figure out how to assemble the lower and upper squares and put them together. The assembly is made out of pretty strong and durable plastic for even the worst of chewers like our own puppy and eventually they tire of trying to pull it apart. We've never run into a training pad that didn't fit within it, most often with room to spare. Best of all it got our puppy to stop tearing her pads apart and it stays put so she can use it when she needs to. Granted, if your puppy doesn't have the greatest aim just yet your cleanup may not be so much fun, but again, it's plastic so easily cleanable. Yes, it does have four pieces to remove to change the pad so it's not always the quickest, but the one piece section sometimes can be more difficult to remove than this, not to mention this comes in a smaller box which saves on shipping. We're totally satisfied with this as it helped tame our destructive little bundle of joy.

Pain in the paatute to use. Not worth the effort. Hard to assemble, and you have to assemble it every time you change the pad.

This holder keeps the pad in place unless your puppy is like mine and goes crazy scratching and biting at the pad and ripping it to shreds even with the holder. It will be good for someone whose puppy is a little more well behaved.

I had originally bought a tray, but it wasn't the size it claimed to be (if the dimensions says it's 17x17 and it looks like a rectangle...it's not 17x17). I found the tray to be cumbersome and it's just sitting in the closet. Got this one instead and am very pleased with it. My yorkie puppy was getting a terrible habit of chewing/ripping her wee pads apart. Not sure if it was a game to her or she was anxious since I wasn't home. This has easily solved that problem. The frame holds the pad in place and fits the entire pad with a little bit to spare. Granted it's in 8 pieces and if your dog misses....you have to clean the plastic, but same holds true w/ a tray. Invest in some cleaning wipes for easy wiping. As for the assembling, it's not too difficult and I'm sure you can glue the bottom part of the frame together if it really bothers you. I like that the frame disassembles into smaller pieces, makes traveling w/ the frame easier.

I use training pads constantly for a disabled dog. She recently began chewing the pads if they were left on the ground at all and would sometimes not make it onto the pad as a result of it bunching. I ordered this frame hoping to deal with some of those issues. It has helped significantly as it keeps the pad taut so that she almost always makes it onto the pad. The pieces are a little bulky and she has short legs, so sometimes we miss. The primary complaint with this product is that there is a top and a bottom frame consisting of 4 parts each. If you will be moving the pad around, which I do, they sometimes come apart. As a result, I have to be careful to keep it together. If I had no need to move the frame, I would have no complaints.

The Tinkle Bell - Bell Training for House Breaking Dogs - Black/Nickel

The Tinkle Bell - Bell Training for House Breaking Dogs - Black/NickelI love this set of bells. My Cavachon is slightly scared of them-with time he will know what to do. They are sturdy and look wonderful next to my back dook. Training a puppy takes time and I know that the bells will be used. He is actually trying to bite the lowest one (what he can reach) and I am confident that the bell will not come off and that he is trying to tell us something.

Small Dog Comfort Adapter fits Dogtra remote collars

Small Dog Comfort Adapter fits Dogtra remote collarsI ordered a comfort adapter after a few days of using the dogtra IQ e-collar on my 14 lb rat terrier/chihuahua mix and seeing how much the regular prongs poked into her neck when the collar is tight enough not to move around. The collar works just as well with the comfort adapter on and she seems much more comfortable wearing it. So far I have been very pleased with this adapter & the e-collar.

I was worried that this might lesson the "correction: and that I would have to turn up the strength, but that wasn't the case. This seems to be a comfortable fit on my dog, way better that 2 prongs poking him.

These are easy to put on and make the collar sit smoothly against their neck without sacrificing performance. I will use this whether the collar is on a small dog or larger one. I'm using it with Dogtra's smallest remote collar, which I also love.

I reluctantly bought my 15# terrier a bark collar after we were kicked out of one apartment, allowed to move to a different location in the same complex, and told that if there were any complaints we would have to move out entirely. He doesn't bark that much, but there is nothing to drown out the noise between neighbors. Anyway, I bought the Dogtra 300 and the prongs were huge for such a small dog. I bought the comfort adaptor and feel much better about putting the collar on. A lot of reviews talk about dogs getting sores where the collar lies. I think this adaptor will prevent anything like it. BTW, I tested the collar on myself and there is no way the static stimulation could cause these sores. If your dog yelps, try it on yourself and you will see it just doesn't like being corrected at all. It doesn't hurt at all for the levels I have used on my dog (up to 3).

This product is an excellent addition to the Dogtra IQ. My company utilizes the IQ on a regular basis training professional working dogs and doing human/dog aggressive rehabilitation. The biggest problem we have with the IQ is that the factory-issued contact points rub the hair off our short-haired breeds (Boxers, APBT, hounds) and create contact rashes, even when the strap is properly tightened and the shorter contact points installed. The SD Comfort Adapter installs quickly, easily and actually provides a better, most consistent contact surface. It has six, nubbed contact points arranged in a circle. This not only spreads out the stimulation, it makes it more easily adjustable and suited to more sensitive dogs. It also ensures consistent contact with your dog's neck, even during activity, work or exercise.

Since buying our first adapter, we've since outfitted the rest of the IQs we have in stock.

Kakadu Pet Empire Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, Small, 1/2" x 4-6ft, Fire (Red)

Kakadu Pet Empire Extendible Nylon Dog Lead, Small, 1/2' x 4-6ft, FireGood leash with no fancy bells and whistles. It is light enough for our smaller (20 lb.) dog, and the length is adjustable. Being nylon, it is vulnerable to being chewed if your dog is so inclined, but it's a very good leash.

I like how this leash can be expanded from 4 to 6 feet. It's the perfect size for a growing puppy. The 1/2 inch width is perfect for a smaller dog as well. The only reason I'm not using this anymore is because I had to upgrade to a bigger harness, and the D-ring on the new harness is too thick for the clasp on the leash. So just keep that in mind, that the connector on the collar or harness will need to be small enough to latch onto the leash clasp.

Einstein ET-800TS E-Collar 1 Mile Big Dog Trainer

Einstein ET-800TS E-Collar 1 Mile Big Dog TrainerI purchased this product for a very strong, high prey drive male German Shepherd Dog that just didn't respond obediently in certain situations. His obedience was great 90% of the time until there was a competing distraction e.g. deer. Reward/treat based training only goes so far with a dog that has an overwhelming prey drive.

So about the collar...it's an excellent product. I really like the design and wanted to buy something made by a USA company. I have not been disappointed. Its quality is evident in both the receiver and transmitter. It conceals nicely in your pocket and ergonomics are great. It's very intuitive and provides feedback to the dog as either stimulation or vibration (pager feature is awesome and extremely helpful for getting attention and interrupting behaviors which is not found on most e-collars).

Unfortunately for me, because of my dog's strength and desire to chase prey, I had to add an additional receiver to the collar for added power as he fights through even the biggest corrections sometimes. But the customer service I received from the manufacturer was second to none and they made every effort to make sure I had what I needed to succeed. The owner personally contacted me to correct the issue. I would recommend this collar to anyone seeking a higher level of control on their serious sport/working dog. This product is right up there with Dogtra and Tri-tronics and they will go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction. Do not hesitate to buy.

I recently purchased the Einstein 800ts collar. I have been using an older Tri Tronics collar for years. I have found this coller to be easy to use and I am able to use much lower levels of stimulation. The stimulation is much smoother as you can dial it up and down as needed without it turning on and off as you change levels. My dog responds very well at very low levels. Working nights I also like the lights on the collar and the ability to turn them off is good too.

Bought the Einstein ET-800TS Remote Training Collar recently to replace a competing product that we have been using for some time. I am very satisfied with this purchase. The transmitter has a very friendly user interface and the controls are quite easy to manipulate, even with cold weather gloves on; the size and form is conveniently compact and comfortable to hold; and the unit has some very unique characteristics, such as the remotely activated collar strobe and / or constant light for night time use and ease of locating your dog. Most importantly, the collar has been very effective on our 110 lb Male Akita. He responds very well to this collar, particularly to the "tapping sensation" vibration feature. When used in accordance with proper and safe electronic collar training techniques, this training collar has proven to be an excellent choice.

have yet to try out the mile claim but so far no complaints. I bought this for the vibration feature and it was recommended by leerberg. I have a deaf Bull terrier/American bulldog i like to take into the woods and so far this thing has held up and never given me and issue. the vibration isnt the strongest thing but with training my dogs comes as if she was called. If she has starred to go after something or does not want to respond a simple 10-15 static nip is all that is needed for me at least. I have gone all weekend with only one charge and never had the low battery light function and i use the vibration quite often.
