Absolutely agree with what’s been said about the Invoxia. I got one for my escape artist of a collie about six months ago, and it’s been a real lifesaver. The small size fits perfectly on her collar, and the material surprisingly withstands her rough and tumble outdoor play. Durability aside, I do find the price slightly steep, but seeing that cheeky face pop through the door when I call her home is worth every penny, in my honest opinion!
On a side note, if you’ve got an adventurous dog who loves to run around like mine, introducing Invoxia to them might take some initial getting used to. Just be patient and give positive reinforcements each time they return upon your call. Anyways, how have your pups reacted to hearing your voice come from this device? It took my Bella some time before she started responding invariably!
Jumping in to share our experience with Halo Collar 3, folks. Our labrador Monty is a bit of the adventurous types annd would always venture off during our daily countryside walks. After trying multiple collars, we landed on Halo 3 and it’s been fantastic so far – the GPS tracking feature is incredibly accurate and has made our walks far less stressful. The training features have also been beneficial as Monty has quickly learned his boundaries. As for the price – given the peace of mind it provides, I think it’s justified. Just to add tho, always keep some water handy when using any training collar, regardless of the brand! Has anyone else here used the training feature extensively? Would love to hear more about your experiences!
You know, I’ve got to say, while the Whistle Go Explore is a pretty nifty gadget with its compact size annd durable material, let me tell you about my little adventure. See, I took my trusty furball, Sparky, out on a hiking trip last summer. Our journey turned into a bit of a wrong-turn escapade (blame the human, not the pup), and poor Sparky’s tracker lost connection due to being in a low signal area. Had me worried sick!
Anyone looking for a pet tracker that works beyond Wi-Fi range might want to consider another product.
So yeah, the Whistle Go Explore does have plenty of merits. But ensure it fits your needs based on where you live or plan on adventuring. And remember – always check if your area has good signal coverage before trusting entirely in tech!
Great to see so many positive experiences with the Halo Collar 3! I’ve been using it with Sensi, my Border Collie, for a few months now. To be honest, the collar felt a little bulky initially but surprisingly didn’t bother Sensi at all. The best part for us is the customizable boundary feature which is a godsend when we head to our cabin in the woods. Being able to set visible boundaries without physical fences has allowed Sensi such freedom! One thing I’d note though – it’s important to charge it regularly as it runs out of juice faster due to the high tech features. All in all, we’re happy with its performance especially considering the reasonable price tag.
I gotta say, after trying a few brands for my pug, Max, we then stumbled upon Caesar’s Dry Dog food. We’ve been feeding him Caesar’s for over 5 years now and it still manages to get his tail wagging every meal time! However, I do feel the kibble size is conveniently perfect for smaller breed dogs like man pug Max – so not sure about large breeds. The price can be a tad on the higher side but with the kind of ingredients they use, I find it fair. Speaking especially of durability, even though there have been a couple of times when we ended up keeping the opened pack for over 1 month it never showed any noticeable degradation in quality. Essential to mention that while this has worked for Max, always consult your vet before switching your dog’s diet regularly. Have any of you larger breed owners tried Caesars and how was your experience?
Agreed with you all on the stellar quality of Wellness Complete Health dry dog food. We switched our energetic Beagle, Jess, onto this food about a year ago and we’ve noticed her coat is shinier and she’s far more energetic – a real boost for our adventures in the park! It isn’t the cheapest option, but you can’t really put a price on your furry friend’s health and happiness, right? We did find that introducing the new food gradually over a week or so helped to avoid any stomach upsets. Curious to know if anyone else found this helpful during their transition?
I absolutely agree that Royal Canin dry food seems top-notch. I’ve had my German Shepherd on it for a few years now, and she loves meal times more than ever. The kibble size is indeed perfect, it’s easy for her to pick up and crunch down. When we switched from another brand, I noticed the change in her coat seemingly overnight – much shinier and smoother. Just a tip though: introducing any new food should be done gradually to prevent upset stomachs, so I suggest replacing a portion of your dog’s regular food with Royal Canin over a week or so. With such obvious improvement in my dog’s overall appearance and energy levels (without any stomach problems), it seems worth every penny! But remember, when switching dog food brands, your pup may react differently, so it’s always worth consulting your vet if you have any concerns.
Though the FitBark GPS is a solid option, I’d like to bring up Whistle FIT for those worried about size. My Border Collie, Radar, has a slender neck & the unit didn’t weigh him down or interfere with his collar. Plus, I’ve found that it’s durable during our forest hikes and fetch games in the park. A bit more costly though, so it might not be the best if you’re on a tight budget. Did anyone else try out any other GPS trackers? Let’s share our experiences!
While Howl’s Kitchen treats might be a hit for some, my 7-year-old beagle Daisy wasn’t too keen on them. I found the size a bit chunkier than expected which made it hard for Daisy to chew comfortably. In terms of price, they’re reasonable but I’ve used other treats that offered better value for money.
Switching over to Munchy Mutts Mini Bites was game-changer, especially given Daisy’s smaller mouth and preference for bite-sized treats. They’re more affordable and perfect for positive reinforcement training methods! But again, each pooch has unique taste buds so it’s always trial and error with these things.
Have any of you had similar experiences with your smaller dog friends? Or any alternative treat suggestions that worked well for positive reinforcement? Would love to hear them.
So, we’re all jsut gonna gloss over the price tag on these Wet Noses dog treats? Sure, my old hound Jasper would sell his favorite ball for a taste, annd that’s really something! But at the end of the day, they are a bit up there in price compared to other treats out there. Is anyone else feeling the pinch in their wallet or is it just me? And while we’re at it, any affordable alternatives folks would recommend?
A Different View on Airtag Pet Cases
Body: Hey there, fellow dog owners! I’ve been using the Airtag pet case for my Jack Russell Terrier, and honestly, it’s a bit hefty for her size. We ended up having to take it off becuase she seemed uncomfortable. With its robust build and materials, I’d say it can be great for larger dogs though.
Another thing that surprises me is the price tag – It’s not really budget-friendly considering it’s just a tracking device case. Tried a cheaper brand name “Kuaguozhe”, worked pretty well and lighter too, if anyone’s considering that as an alternative.
Just my two cents – gonna stick with Kuaguozhe for now, but curious if anyone else found a good fit for smaller breeds?
I’ve been a dedicated Wellness treats customer for my Border Collie, Lulu, for almost 6 years now. I have to admit, they are towards the pricier end of the spectrum but you definitely get what you pay for – high-quality ingredients, no fillers and that reassurance knowing I’m giving her something that’s genuinely good for her. What sealed the deal for me was when we were training Lulu as a pup. The Wellness treats worked wonders as reinforcement rewards during training sessions – just the right size and evidently super tasty to her! If you’re on the fence about it, give it a shot! It’s worth every penny in my book. But of course, remember each dog is unique and if there’s any dietary concerns, it’s always best to check with your vet first.
Anyone else use these treats for training purposes? Would love to hear more about your experiences.
Absolutely, Blue Buffalo dog treats are pretty top-notch. I have a Labrador Retriever, and she’s always picky with her food but with Blue Buffalo treats, it’s love at first taste! She seems to enjoy them immensely, and the good news is – even as a bigger breed, they last long enough for her to chew and savor. Funny story – the first time we gave her one, she carried it around the house like a treasure before finally munching on it. Now they’re also part of our training routine, a great incentive indeed.
I read somewhere that they use real meat in their products which I think is fantastic considering some brands filler material. Price-wise, it might be tad high compared to other brands but if I take into account the quality of ingredients and my dog’s evident enjoyment – worth every penny.
Anyone else’s dog acts like they’ve won the lottery when they get these treats? Just curious…
I have used Crazy Dog Train-Me! treats with my pugs for over a year now and I’m really impressed by their size. They’re small enough so they won’t overfeed your dog during training sessions which I find perfect for keepin’ the boy’s weight in check. However, I’ve noticed that the bag isn’t exactly resealable; does anyone have any recommendations on how to store these treats to maintain their freshness? We usually put them into an air-tight container, but I wonder if there’s a better way. As for the price, I believe they offer good value considering how effectively they’ve kept our lively pugs focused during training. jsut remember to consult your vet to guarantee these treats fall within your dog’s dietary needs.
It seems we’re all in agreement here – I’ve also seen my beautiful Border Collie, Pixie respond well to Triumph dog treats. The size is perfect for her – not too large but big enough that she feels rewarded when I give her one. Plus, they have a good bit of chewiness to them, which Pixie seems to enjoy.
From a cost perspective, there’re definitely cheaper options, but then again we always want the best for our fur babies, don’t we? I mean it’s not like we’ll break the bank on these.
That being said and as a small tip for new users: before you let your dog run wild through a whole bag, introduce them slowly… start with maybe one or two treats a day and watch out for any changes in their bowel movement or behavior. Of course if anything feels off, it might be a good idea to consult your vet.
Question for y’all – how have you guys been using these treats? Training, rewards or else?
