Zack & Zoey Polyester Lil Honey Bear Dog Costume, Small, Brown


So cute!
The puppy looks so cute with this costume, is very soft and warm, it could be better if the honey pot could be fixed to the costume (velcro).
made very well
Particularly for the price. It is large for our puppy and she was too rambunctious at this time but it will be perfect by Halloween.
Cute Costume, but very specific fit
This costume was absolutely adorable, but you really need to pay attention to all of the measurements and really take your dogs shape into consideration. Probably the most awakward part were the legs of the costume. Would've much preferred if they were velcro instead.

Dogit X-Gear Weather Tech Waterproof Dog Mat, Brown, Small


Tough Outdoor Dog Bed
I have an elderly dog that has become incontinent so no longer can live inside and must stay in the basement. He does his business anywhere including his bed. I needed a tough waterproof bed that could stand up to numerous cleanings a day. This Dogit bed does the trick. The cover is thick and waterproof, the Velcro seal underneath holds tight and the inside pillow is thick. The overall bed is firm but the dog seems to like it.

Pros:
Washes off easily.
Teflon coated.
22.5 x 17.5 is large enough to fit four of my dogs.
Durable.
Quality materials.
Velcro fasted across entire bottom.

Cons:
May be firmer then your dog is used to.

Highly Recommended.
pretty good outdoor mat
this mat does seem to be waterproof/resistant. its not real thin but not real thick. just thick enough to give your pal a little cusion from any hard surface, as well as off of a cold surface. not really sure how well it would work on a hot surface though. (its still winter here) material seems to be tough as well. would buy again, or recommend to a friend.

Doggles Dog Carrier Hemp Messenger Bag, Small, Off White / Brown


EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY!
Love this carrier--my Maltese loves it, too. The shape of the carrier is excellent for wearing on your shoulder when shopping; it fits close to your body so you're not bumping into people as you walk down store aisles. Also, it looks like a personal messenger bag, so it's not obvious that it's a pet carrier. It's a cozy place for the pet because he/she is able to rest against you as you carry the bag; the black mesh sides and top allow air circulation while allowing the pet to look out without being seen. The hemp is a natural fiber so it doesn't have that yucky smell or crunchy sound like synthetic material. Smart brown and linen color. This bag has been ideal for our needs.
small dog carrybag
Nice bag; only wish the side staps were connected to the very top of the sides, it would carry much better that way.
cheap materials
I was so happy to have a great stealth bag option for my little 8lb. dog for when I needed to slip into a store without leaving her outside. After a month of light use though, the zipper came unattached from the mesh at the top and the whole bag is now falling apart. Such a shame to have a major design flaw on such an otherwise great product.

PoochieBells Classic Dog Potty Training Doorbell in Chocolate Brown, Cold Nose Warm Heart Wording


This product works well and it is not hard to train your dog to use it
I didn't believe it at first when I heard that a friend's adopted dog had been trained to ring a bell to go out. When I found this item on line (after experimenting with a homemade version that was too heavy and didn't work well because bells were too large) I thought it was a good idea. It is a GREAT idea. It hangs at a height at which my short dog can easily reach it. Repetition and consistency are the keys to using this. Glad someone thought of it!
Looks nice & great for training but made a little cheap
I bought the hanging door bells to replace a set one of my neighbors had given me to make the door look a little nicer. My neighbor had given me a string of bells that she'd picked up from the dollar store and she took off all of the bells except for the bottom one. I'd added some string on it and hung it on the door with the string. The dollar store version actually rings louder with just one bell than this item does with 4 bells. The dollar store's bell is a little bigger and gives a lower pitched ring whereas this device gives a high pitched ring that can be a little harder to hear. Also the strap is little more than ribbon. I was expecting something more around the thickness of a thin dog leash, not the case.

I think you could do about the same or better with some pretty ribbon and some dollar store bells from Christmas. It looks nice but could be made a lot better.
It's cute...it might work...but.
It's not working for my dogs. I have two, a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel who is bright and quick to pick up new tricks, lessons, and the like, (I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to run her through feldjager training when she was a pup, so she's very bright and well trained). And a 9 month old Min Pin, who is a little slower, but still bright.

I got the bell for the Min Pin mostly, she was trained on potty pads by her previous owner, I don't do that here, my dogs use the outdoors. So, it was for the purpose of retraining for her, and for giving my Cocker Spaniel a signal for me. Previously she'd just sit by the door, silent, and wait for me to notice her, until sometimes I swore her eyes were crossed. That's no good, if I'm in another room, I need to know so she isn't just waiting on me to walk by.

It's been nearly a month of doing exactly what the instructions say, potty time isn't play time anyways here, and my Cocker is an on command pottier...

PoochieBells Classic Dog Potty Training Doorbell in Warm Gold and Brown, Best Friend Wording


Sadly it didn't work for us
But our doggy is two years old, has a checkered past before we got him, and he couldn't learn to use the bells. I'm sure they work nicely for other folks/dogs, just not ours. The quality is good and appears durable.
Let me go outside
While you could make your own set of these, these are aesthetically pleasing. Worth the money. Two dogs out of four were using them within a week.
Fantastic!
This was a most pleasurable and easy way to train my puppy to let me know she wants to relieve herself. I just walked her over to the door, have her the Sit command, held my finger to the bell until she followed and touched her nose to it, at that exact moment I said "Potty" in a cheerful tone, and out the door we were! After the third time of this exercise, she had it down perfectly. Now, while I'm otherwise engaged with daily chores, she lets me know she needs to go out by ringing the bell. A simply intuitive, easy, and pleasant way to train your pet!

East Side Collection Acrylic Peace Sign Dog Sweater, X-Small, 10-Inch, Brown


WARM and DOGLY!!
This is excellent quality, good fit, good value, looks great on. Will be warm and snug on those nippy days....
Sizing
This is suppose to be a xsmall, but I think it's too big for a xsmall The sweater is nice it's just I'm starting to have sizing issues with East Side.. but since it's too big, maybe it will fit oneday.
Perfect for my little Chihuahua
I actually bought three different "East Side" sweaters and I like them all. They all seem to be very well made. Please note, that the "teacup" size is very small, and will probably only fit little runts like mine or a puppy. :) I have a 2.5lb chihuahua who needs to wear sweaters throughout winter. Often, I even have to put two sweaters on her (or a sweater and a coat) because some sweaters don't provide enough warmth. Fortunately, this sweater is thick enough to stand up to most winter weather all on it's own. It is very cute, soft, and thick. It has cotton leg straps in it to keep it in place, but I just tuck them under the sweater. My dog is happy to wear sweaters when its cold and it stays on fine without them.

PoochieBells, the Original and Trusted Name in Dog Potty Training Doorbells, Classic Bone Appetite Brown Paw Print Bone Pattern Design


PoochieBell
This door bell for dogs is AMAZING! It really does work!!! I put it on the sliding door handle and every time we opened the door to let the dogs out, we rang the bell so they heard it. Within days they would ring the bell to be let out. My dogs are not the most well trained dogs (far from it, really) but they got the door bell thing down. I'm giving it 4 stars because the ringing is not as "sharp" (for lack of a more descriptive word) than the generic brand that I had prior to this. Still works though, and much cuter than others out there.
Perfect for small dogs to reach any door!
If you are thinking of teaching your dog (or new puppy) to ring a bell to go outside, these are a must have. These easily hang from any door and are reachable by any size dog - our puppies were only 3 lbs when we started training them (now 10 lbs), and they were able to nose / paw at them to signal that they wanted to go outside. In fact, they like using it to signal the water bowl is empty, that they are hungry, that there is a bird outside that they want to bark at - it is a pretty neat communication tool!

You can look it up on youtube as to how to teach a dog to ring a bell - it just takes some patience. You hold the bells in front of them, tell them bell, and wait for them to bonk it, whatever method they prefer. The first bonk is the hardest - once they do it, you give them a treat, and then they will definitely repeat it. You keep treating them, and eventually they understand "bell" = ringing the bell = yummy treats. Then step 2 is hanging it on the door, and...
Poochie Bells
Great product; fast and easy shipping as usual from Amazon. It took about 3-4 weeks for my puppy to begin using the bells consistently when he had to potty- he now regularly notifies us when he has to "go". Just make sure NOT to let your dog play or do anything else when he/she uses the bells so you're not training your dog to mess with you every time he wants to go play ball. Great training tool in my opinion.
