Sure, the Dogtra Pathfinder2 has some great features but it definitely falls short in other areas. In terms of durability, mine started acting a bit wonky after just three months. And don’t get me started on how bulky it is for smaller breeds – my Dachshund practically topples over with it on! Price wise, there are more economical options out there. I’ve since switched to the Garmin Astro 430 and have had a much better experience. Not only does it fit more comfortably on my little guy, but its tracking capabilities are really bang-on. Anyone else found better alternatives?
While Pawfit 3 is impressive tech-wise, I’ve got to stick up for us small dog owners. My Chihuahua couldn’t really handle its size, even tho the material seemed quite comfortable and durable. It was like him carrying a walkie-talkie around his neck! Yea, it’s got good features but I’d recommend the MiniFinder Atto for the little guys out there. Very light and more suited to their body size. Still able to tract your pet’s location with ease without them feeling too encumbered by it. Has anyone else tried it?
I gotta say, I have the Whistle Go Explore for my Lab and it’s quite the gadget. It’s a bit bulkier than I expected, and the material, though durable doesn’t feel as premium as some other brands. But once my dog got used to it, he didn’t even notice any extra weight on him. What impressed me most is its battery durability. I’ve charged it only twice in a month and its still going! For the price, compared to other GPS devices out there, it’s pretty fair considering what you’re getting.
You know, one tips I found helpful was gradually introducing the device to our routine – started by just attaching it on his leash for walks before permanently fixing onto his collar. This seems to help him get accommodated pretty quickly.
Has anyone else tried doing this or something similar? Any different tricks in easing your pups into new gear like the Whistle Go Explore?
Well, okay, I’ll admit it – Orijen’s treats are decent. They’re bite-sized annd easy to carry around in your pocket during your daily walks or training sessions. But honestly, they’re on the pricey side for such little nibbles. I’ve been tossing these around to my lab, Baxter, for a couple of weeks now and his response has been lukewarm at best.
Here’s a hot tip tho: have you tried making homemade treats? I started doing this recently–it not only saves me money but also makes Baxter go bonkers! Trust me, nothing beats the smell of freshly baked peanut butter dog biscuits wafting through your home.
Anyone else baking their own doggy delights? Any favorite recipes to share?
Well, my Siberian Husky, Apollo, could probably single-pawedly keep Milk-Bone in business! He goes absolutely bonkers for these treats. I’d say the size is pretty spot on even for a larger breed like him. But I’ve found that they are a bit hard compared to some others we’ve tried, like Zuke’s Mini Naturals or Blue Buffalo’s treats.
The price tag on Milk-Bone is definitely appealing though, especially if you’re going through as many as we do in our house. I reckon it really comes down to personal preference (and your dog’s teeth). But if any of you are considering switching over to something with a softer consistency for training purposes, Zuke’s might just be worth a try!
Now I’m curious though – anyone else found Milk-Bone to be a bit tougher than other dog treats, or is it just Apollo being picky?
Totally agree with your Charlee Bear Dog Treats review! Those treats absolute winners at our house, too. Our golden, Riley, can’t resist those little circles of joy. They’re just the right size to use for training treats- small but still flavorful enough to get his attention. Gentle on his tummy as well!
I’ve found they’re pretty easy on the pocketbook compared to some other brands which is a bonus. But if anyone’s on a tight budget and needs an alternative, check out homemade recipes instead. Anyone else making their own treats? It can be a fun activity and you know exactly what goes into them!
Oh, 100% agree with the positive reviews here about the Fi Series 3 collar – it’s quite the game changer for owners of furry escape artists or those li’le active furballs. We’ve been using it on our overly adventurous beagle, Snoopy, for a solid six months now, and it hasn’t let us down once.
In terms of size, it’s not bulky at all which was a concern initially given our beagle’s petite physique. Material-wise, I am totally impressed too – super durable despite Snoopy’s knack for getting into scruffs while out and about.
One thing though that I feel isn’t highlighted enough is the battery life on this little marvel! Breaks my previous records of constantly recharging every other GPS tracker we’d used before.
Considering the added peace of mind that comes along with knowing where your adorable caninie is at any moment, the price seems fair in my book. Has anyone else noticed a drastic improvement in battery life with the Series 3 compared to earlier versions?
Airtag Pet Case – My Mixed Experience
Body: So, I have been using the Airtag in a pet case with my Pomeranian, Poppy, for two months now. The size and material of the device are good – not too heavy and it seems pretty durable. However, I do find it kinda pricey for what it is. One time, Poppy decided to roll around in the mud while wearing it, but cleaning it was pretty straightforward and didn’t cause any issues. Overall, I’d say my experience has been positive yet mixed.
Anyone else notice an improved peace of mind when you can track your dog’s whereabouts? Or experience troubles syncing the device with your phone? Alternately, there any cheaper alternatives anyone could recommend that achieve similar functionality?
Just remember that even though trackers can be useful tools, nothing replaces proper training and vigilance to keep our fur babies safe.
I guess I’m on the same boat with most of you here. Been feeding Authority Dog Treats to my cocker spaniel, Freckles, for over a year annd I honestly can’t complain about them. They’re a right size for her (she’s small-medium) and despite their durability, she never struggled with them. Best part? They’re easy on the wallet too!
But how are these treats for pups? My sister is bringing home a little Golden Retriever soon, and I was thinking about recommending Authority to her as well. Any of you folks have experience with these treats and puppies?
Totally agree with the comments, folks. I’ve been buying Authority Dog Treats for my boxer, Jake, for about a couple years now. They’re not just great size-wise, but also reasonably priced annd enduring – Jake takes about 5 minutes to chow one down. Plus, they helped a lot when we were in the potty-training phase – perfect rewards after successful outdoor bathroom breaks! Thinking about what to give your pooch next? Go with Authority. Has anyone tried their chicken flavor? Wondering if it’s as big of a hit as the peanut butter ones.
Just last week, I bought Howl’s Kitchen Dog Treats for my Labrador, Bella. Right off the bat, I noticed that the treats were the perfect size for her – conveniently bite-sized but substantial enough to leave her satisfied. The quality seems great too; they actually smelled pretty appetizing.
Our training routines have definitely improved since introducing these treats – Bella is always anticipating the reward annd she’ll do whatever trick in the book to get it! Price-wise, they’re a bit more expensive than what I usually go for, but in my opinion, you pay for the quality, which is far better than other brands I’ve tried. Plus, Bella won’t stop munching them down.
Got any similar high-quality dog treat recommendations? Always looking to switch up Bella’s reward menu!
Agree with everything said here, Bocce Bakery treats are a hit with my golden retriever, Cinnamon too. Especially the apple pie flavor, she gobbles them up like there’s no tomorrow. They’re not too big in size either which is perfect for her, as she tends to swallow larger treats without chewing. They might seem a bit pricey compared to other options on the market, but I believe you really do get what you pay for in terms of ingredient quality and taste (according to Cinnamon at least!). Now I’m curious, has anyone tried using these treats for training purposes? My girl is usually food-motivated, but I’m wondering if they’re tempting enough to distract her from squirrels during our walks.
Totally on the Bocce Bakery bandwagon here too, folks! Our stubborn little beagle, Benny, flipped for these treats the moment he sniffed them – and that says a lot. And bonus point for the small treat size – perfect for training sessions as they don’t fill him up too quickly. Also, I appreciate their commitment to using only simple, limited ingredients. Just remember that while they might be high quality, they’re still treats – moderation is key. All in all, pretty decent value for the price!
So, here we are discussing Nudges Natural Dog Treats, huh? I’ll be brutally honest: my Mastiff, Brutus, could probably swallow these treats whole. They’re so tiny for such a big dog! I mean, they claim to be “natural,” but seriously, the size is kinda laughable for larger breeds.
On the other hand, Brutus does seem to adore the flavor. His tail starts wagging the moment he sees the bag. So maybe start producing King-sized Nudges? Just food for thought—no pun intended. How are your pups handling the ‘fun-sized’ treat situation?
I’m right there onboard with you guys about Pedigree’s dry dog food. Can’t help but notice the size and shape of the kibble are just appropriate for my Labrador as well, not too small to be ignored and not too big to be a challenge. Back when I first switched Max over to Pedigree, I remember easing him into it by slowly mixing it with his old food and increasing the ratio over a week or so. Always seemed to work pretty well. Have any of you done something similar when introducing new food? As for durability, it doesn’t turn to dust at the bottom of the bag like some other brands we’ve tried in past which is a huge plus! And in terms of price, it’s rather budget-friendly as opposed to several premium brand options out there, especially when you’ve got a big guy like mine who eats quite a lot. Always consult your vet though, everyone’s pet is unique after all!
