PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Reviews

PoochieBells The Trusted Name in Dog Training Doorbells in Classic Starry Night Stripe
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

After about two days my little puppy was ringing the bell when nature called. It was funny because you could tell how bad he had to go based on how aggressively he rang the bells. I've been diligent in making potty time not play time. If we're planning on going out and he rings the bell while I'm getting ready, we go out and go potty and then come back in and wait a while until we go back out for play. I want to make sure that he doesn't associate the bells with getting to go outside and play. So far so good highly recommended.

We have a mini schnauzer and she caught onto the bells right away. The only negative is that she rings them when she has to go to the bathroom but also when she just wants to go out and play....so the bells are ringing a lot.

These work great for my puppy to let me know she needs to go. I live in an apartment so I can hear it in each room! It was

easy to get her to use them I would just take her nose and touched the bells every time I was taking her to tinkle for about 5 days and she got it :) now she does it on her own.

I bought these for my newly adopted Shih Tzu mix dog and they are great! I hung the bells on my sliding glass door with ease. I love that the height is adjustable if you have a larger dog. Great purchase.

I have two small dogs, the older one is not house trained and did have accidents, so when we got a new puppy I decided no matter what he was going to get house trained. I ordered the Poochie bells, they were made a lot better than I expected and I loved the design. So I got to work. I would sit at the door with Ziggy and take his paw and hit the bell and then give him cheese and praise, after a few days of this after taking his paw and hitting the bell I would take him out side and after him going potty would give him some more cheese or another treat he loved. I did this for weeks and got very discouraged he just was not getting it. Then one night I was watching TV and heard the bells, at first I didn't know what it was, I turned the TV down and heard them again, looked over at the door and there he was sitting at the door and then he did it again, took his little paw and rang the bells, you would have thought I won the lottery the way I jumped up. When my husband got home he didn't believe me so I asked Ziggy (got to go potty, ring your bell: and he did) my husband couldn't believe it worked. Ziggy lets us know now when he wants to go outside, he does want to just go play sometimes but has not had any accidents in the house as long as we are home, and the best part, even though my older dog won't let us know when he needs to go when he hears the bells he knows it's time to go outside and comes running. I ordered three, one for our house, one for our camper and one for when we visit my mom and he uses them all.....

I ordered the Large Igloo just a couple days ago and it has already arrived. The post office didn't handle it properly & one of the snaps was broken and when I did the live chat with the amazon rep she immidiately offered me a full refund, I told her I wanted to keep it & would fix it & she gave me 20% off. Great customer service. Thank you :)

As for the Igloo at first my Dogs (Collie & Terrier) didn't want to go in so I threw in some dog treats and a soft bed. After going in to get the treats neither one of them came out, lol. Later on that day I looked inside and I saw that my cat was in there with both of the dogs too. I went outside to take a picture but they all came out to greet me, dogs wagging their tails & the cat purring. Great buy & great price (believe me I have been doing my research). I wish they would have had a better description of size so that I didn't have to do all the research to make sure I was buying the right one. But for all those other people out there here you go: the large is for medium sized dogs like a full grown collie. She would not have been able to fit in a medium Igloo. The lable said 50-90 lbs but I wouldn't go over 70lbs in a large.

Good quality & well built design.

I also just bought the K&H Lectro-Soft Heated Outdoor Bed, Medium and will post a review once they've tried it.

I am very pleased and now feel like a good pet owner. They all seem so happy in their new home :)

This doghouse has been wonderful for my pup. It is waterproof and the vent works well to keep air flowing through, which is important.

I would recommend filling it with hay, and not wasting time on the pad, especially if your dog has a tendency to chew when bored. The hay has an added bonus of extra insulation during the winter and is soft and scratchy for the dogs at the same time. It also helps to keep the door from blowing in the wind.

My dog likes to nap in the house out of the sun while I am doing yardwork, or hide from the rain and snow. Great purchase and it came set up right out of the box.

This is the first thing I have ever been dissatisfied with from amazon. I got the impression by the words and the picture of five beds stacked up that I was getting 5 beds. I was hoping to give them to the shelter where I work. So disappointing. Think ad should be made clearer. I know that the price is a very cheap price for 5 but I thought it was sort of like clearance. The beds are quite nice but I just was expecting something different.

Update I wrote a e-mail and the company immediately responded. Very courteous and said they would adjust the ad a little to make it more clear. Again the beds are very nice and really turns out to be a fairly good price compared to others out there. I ordered more for my shelter. Nice removal pad in the bottom could be washed separately.

I've been using this product for several years now. I've been happy for the most part except last year when we had heavy ticks, my dog still got several ticks.

Best Deals for Bio Spot Spot On for Dogs 31-60 lbs., 3 Months Supply

I used biospot for over a year on my dog and 8 cats and had no problems. Then..one of my cats got fleas and I freaked out b/c I didn't want an infestation. I talked to my vet and he said that biospot was as worthless as water. Lovely. He said I had just gotten lucky. I have noticed that when I use frontline the animals don't freak out and act like it is burning their skin. Whenever I used biospot the animals would freak out and run around afterward, and then have a grease spot on their neck for a week. This doesn't happen with frontline.

Honest reviews on Bio Spot Spot On for Dogs 31-60 lbs., 3 Months Supply

I have two cats and two dogs at home. Even tho they never really go out besides the backyard we had a big problem with fleas. I try Frontline and it didn't work at all. I was washing one of my dogs almost everyday and once she had almost a hundred fleas that I picked off her in the shower. Finally my mother-in-law talked about Bio Spot that she had used years ago when my husband was younger and they had dogs and cats at home. For the super low price I bought Bio Spot for all my pets. The amount of product in each "small bottle" is a lot. Way more than other brands we tried before. Right away the pet hair gets grease and it does not have the greatest smell in the world. Still, none of my pets had any bad reaction except my bulldog who would try to wipe it off her back since she can't stand anything with strong smell (like acetone, perfume or anything like that). After a week or so all the fleas were gone! We didn't even have to work that hard to get rid of the fleas that were probably all over the house. After 3 months of using it I found a flea on my dog only a couple of times. I'm ordering more now and I will keep using Bio Spot as long as it keeps the fleas off my pets and house!

I first used BioSpot years ago for my cocker spaniel. She would get hot spots on her skin whenever a flea would bite her and clumps of her hair would fall out. [She was an indoor dog.] The vet would give her a hydrocortisone shot and finally pushed me into using a prescription only flea preventative. At the time, I was still using Hartz spray and flea collars from the grocery store. The flea preventative du jour for his office was Frontline pills. Frontline did nada, but it wouldn't work for her anyway because the only way it kills [adult] fleas and ticks is if they bite into the dog's skin. It didn't do a thing to prevent flea eggs unless the flea ingests the chemical. I needed something to keep them from biting her period. I had to go to another vet to try another pill (Program and then Sentinel) which I later discovered worked the same way although the vet gave me his sales pitch on why pill X is better than pill Y. Next I tried advantage and finally my dog got some relief. Due to her grooming schedule, Advantage proved to be too expensive since you have to reapply after each bath. [During summer she would need baths twice a month or else she would get a really musty doggy smell.]

I ran across Biospot by accident and noticed it had the same ingredients/formula as Advantage. Of course, the ingredients for both products have since changed but Biospot still works just as great and is much more affordable. Since then, it's the only flea and tick preventative I use on my dogs. We've lived as far north as Chicago and as far south as Atlanta. Never a problem. The dog I have now goes to the vet regularly and they have never found a flea on her. The one time I found a tick on her it was dead; pretty good considering the tick was on her stomach but you only have to apply Biospot at the shoulder and near the tail. I would recommend this if you find that Advantage works well for your dog and you want something that KILLS and REPELS fleas, ticks, and mosquitos. Flea pills NEVER repel. Don't buy them if you need them for this purpose.

We ordered this to help housebreak our 2 month old puppy, and he learned quickly and was accident-free in 2 weeks. The potty bells have also saved our door from a lot of puppy scratches -we just hung them on a nail beside the door and he hits them with his nose when he wants to go out. WARNING: be sure during training when he rings the bells, you only take him on a leash to his potty spot, then reward and bring him straight back in. At first we let him out off leash and he rang the bell like crazy to go outside for "play time".

this product is well made. it actually looks good hanging on the door. i've had it for several months now and neither of my dogs ring the bell. one did it once but it was more out curiousity then anything else. now when i ring the bell, they come running. they know it means i'm letting them outside. i took care of a puppy for 5 months and tried training him as well. he never rang it either; but he too, knows when i ring the bell it's time to go outside. i will admit that once we used the bell for about a week, he would not go in the house and as soon as i rang the bell, to the door he ran.

I ordered these bells for my Catahoula puppy to put in our bedroom since we are going to give her night freedom soon. I already have two sets of Poochie Bells on other doors, but I thought these would be cuter. Unfortunately, they are also made out of a fuzzy material that my dog associates with pet toys, so instead of ringing the bells as a signal, she is more likely to tug at them since they simulate a toy. The concept works, but the material used gives it a lower star rating.

Honest reviews on Potty Training Bell - Flower

This product actually works. I was worried that my new puppy, an Australian Cattle Dog, would have accidents because she doesn't make noises at the door like my Basset Hound does. However on the first try, she realized if she touched the bells, she could go outside and potty. The only reason I don't "love" it is because it jingles every time I open the door too. :)

I used this to teach my dog to tell me when he needed to go out so that he wouldn't learn to bark instead. I didn't want my dog to scratch on the door or bark to tell me he wanted to go out, so I started early with him to touch the bell with his nose to indicate he wanted to go out. I have one at the back door, one at the top of the stairs, and one on my desk at work (he is a service dog). I trained him to "touch" to indicate he needs to go. Since he already had a schedule to go out at 11, 2, 5, 8, and 10pm, I jsut made him touch it at those times that I was going to take him anyway. He got used to touching before the door would open. Now, if he needs to go and it isn't a regularly scheduled time, he will touch the bell. I hear the sound, and I will let him out (as will my family members). I did this with my prior dogs too, but the bell I had before was a heavy sleigh bell which was just too big for a papillon. This is light enough for any sized dog to use.

It takes a long time for our dog to get the treat out of these. It's one of her favorite toys, particularly good for when she's left alone.

We have several of the green camos and so picked up a few of these blue ones. We always get these a size up from what they call for. This round, even that was tooooooo small. According to the manufacturer's own chart, he should wear an XL, but we always buy an XXL (their largest) to be safe and to allow for shrinkage. The dog is only a Lab mix, mixed so he is much smaller than a Lab. I do not know if it is because we bought the camo in blue this time, but it should not matter. The items were returned (Amazon backs up their products well regarding that), but the manufacturer needs to get a grip here.

I bought this hoodie for my german shepherd mix. He normally wears a XL, but I checked the measurements and according to their information provided, the XL would be too small but this XXL hoodie would fit. When I tried it on him it was significantly smaller than stated. In fact, it just barely fit my corgi mix, who is only 40 lbs. On the plus side, the hoodie is VERY cute and appears to be warm.

My dog lives in this shirt now. He doesn't want me to take it off. I need a back-up, so I can wash it once in a while. I bought the XL and am glad I did. I consider my dog medium sized (about 44 lbs) and very skinny, so this shirt definately runs super small. I though the hood would be annoying to the dog and flap around, but that's not the case. He doesn't mind it at all and it looks really cute. The only problem is that the dog peeed on it the first time he wore it, so I just rolled up the underside of it and put a seam, so it wouldn't hang in that area. Now he doesn't pee on it. Great shirt. I'm going to buy another.

Review of Extra Fine Gold Snake Chain

Guardian Gear X-Fine Gold Snake Dog Chain, 12-Inch
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is a very beautiful collar. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is that most slip collars are flexible enough to easily draw the chain, or leather through it to make it a slip collar. This chain is not flexible. It does not arrive as shown in the picture with the slip already to go. you must bend the chain forceably to slip the chain through to make the slip knot. Some people will not be able to do this. It will withstand the bending to do this, even though it does not seem as if it will, but don't be afraid. The chain is made very well, and will withstand the rigger it takes to assemble it properly.

Once assembled it is a really great chain! Substantial enough to hold your dog, yet light enough to not bother the dog as he wears it around the house.

And it really is pretty, without being froo froo. A handsome piece of functional jewelry for your male or female dog. Also this seller is the cheapest for this product, and it did arrive quickly.

Just like the expensive ones purchased at dog shows. Very thin, lightweight and attractive. Lovely gold color. Good functional show collar for purposes in which you really want your canine pal to "shine!" Maybe not the ideal walking collar as it is a choke collar unless you have a very well trained dog that won't pull against it.

Best Deals for Extra Fine Gold Snake Chain

Showing dogs in the ring is not only fun, it is exciting! It keeps you in shape and shows just how much you care about your pet. Having the right show chain for your dog is very important. You don't want one that will tangle in the dogs hair or one that will slip off. You need a chain that is flashy (for the looks) and functional. This chain does everything. I have long haired ISSR Shiloh Shepherd Dogs and my girl Rani shows beautifully with this chain and the leather lead I attached to it. It "zings" (the sound) quietly, the craftsmanship is strong enough for my 100+ dogs and if it were in the rules, Rani would just run around the ring on her own. LOL I highly recommend this chain as it is lightweight enough for her, strong enough and looks expensive, but is not. The length (24") sounds long, but it really isn't and looks very nice when you run around the ring with gold in your hands (or close to it).

Honest reviews on Extra Fine Gold Snake Chain

Appear to be well made, but the extra fine chains measure slightly less than 3mm, not 4mm as the description says. The product tag also describes them as 4mm, but this is wrong also. I will exchange them for the 'medium' chain, which is described as 1/5 of an inch. I have larger dogs and I'm trying to match a serpentine show chain that measures 4.5mm. I thought these would be close but they are literally half as thick.
