Comment on NewAgePet Medium All Weather Insulated Dog House -Bunk House with Small Door, White/Blue, Medium, for Pets up to 60 Pounds Reviews by Jussara

Review by P. Chesnais for Rating: This is the first dog house I have ever purchased. It is quite easy to aslsmbee. However, the small trim pieces at the top of the roof that are supposed to snap on broke. The house looks very artificial/plastic unfinished. Using stains semi-transparent and solid made the house look great. You can easily adapt to your decor. The only draw back is my dog prefers to stay out in the rain than be in the house so I can not give it a paw rating.When getting stains, purchase the sample size, you will find it will easily cover the dog house.April 6, 2010 edit: I emailed NewAgePet customer service about the broken end caps. They are sending me replacement parts.

Comment on No Bad Dogs: The Woodhouse Way by Bill Butler "Bill Butler"

IT WORKED FOR ME!, May 14, 2000

Bill Butler "Bill Butler" (Tarzana, Ca. USA) -

This review is from: No Bad Dogs: The Woodhouse Way (Paperback)

A friend of ours got incarcerated for drunk driving. This lasted for six months. She had a dog named Maddie who was to be put in a doggie's home. I took the dog. Maddie was a German Shepard mix and a whole lot sweeter than human beings! Everybody loved her. But when I walked her, she would chase after other dogs. And she would howl terribly at them. I got this book at a yard sale. What Woodhouse said in it frightened me a great deal. A CHOKE CHAIN! YELLING AT THE DOG! It was a riculous book. But Woodhouse assured the reader that a choke chain would not hurt the dog or even cause ANY pain (if you did it right). And she also said that the yelling was necessary. I didn't want to yell at Maddie. I don't like people who hit their dogs, not counting their children. But I had to do something. Every 30 min. walk and bathroom session and Maddie would go crazy at some neighbor's fence that had a dog in the yard. Pretty soon, I would avoid certain parts of the

neighborhood in North Hollywood. I bought the choke chain, reluctantly put it on Maddie, and followed Woodhouse's orders. I also used her "voice" technique. When Maddie would go after another dog, I was to yell real loud, "BAD DOG! REAL BAD BAD DOG! " (this once scared a policeman out of his pants! ) Using Woodhouse's advice, the choke chain caused no pain! I examined Maddie's eyes to see if there were any pain as I used it. Nothing at all. She didn't mind it a bit. But you will have to use it as Woodhouse states. Like a flick of the wrist. The next part was rougher. Screaming at Maddie when she would go after other dogs even with the choke chain on. I was also instructed to pet and praise her when she would pass a dog who was barking or just sitting quietly. This took about 20 days. And every now and then, she would have "relapses". But after one month, she was a real sight. And never went after other dogs. Then came a bad part of Woodhouse's books. Excessive petting. Yes, according to Woodhouse, you can pet your dog. And snuggle them. I would scratch Maddie's belly 400 times at once! But Woodhouse implied that this was habit-forming. And so I did cut down (not by very much, maybe 50%), and Maddie seemed much less restless! And she sure loved her belly rubbed! So this book really helped me! I had to give Maddie back when the owner got out. It was rough. But I did it. Maddie was over 4 years-old when I took her. It was the right thing to do. I don't want to think about it. BUY THIS BOOK! BUY THIS BOOK! BUY THIS BOOK!

Walk Softly "Walk Softly" (Roseburg, OR) -

This review is from: No Bad Dogs: The Woodhouse Way (Paperback)

This isn't a step-by-step training book. It's an attempt at human adjustment. The author provides clear examples of how people's lack of canine understanding often causes "bad dogs." For example, if you have a neurotic, nervous dog, you shouldn't sympathize with it and coddle it (which only exacerbates the nervousness); you should take control and provide clear leadership, thus building the dog's confidence. Many times the owner's sympathy is the greatest hindrance to proper training, for a dog needs a leader. If you aren't it, the dog will run you.

Woodhouse provides solutions for all sorts of problem behavior such as soiling, jealousy, fighting, barking, and schizophrenia. And she teaches the proper use, and style, of choke chain by which to get the dog's attention without harming it. She provides examples of how she was able, with firmness, encouragement and praise, to create drastic changes within hours in problem dogs brought to her for training. The greatest hindrance to change was the owners themselves seeing their beloved pets manhandled. She also discusses how dogs, being quite telepathic, would often display the phobias and fears of their owners. For example, a woman who hates men may have a dog who hates men, or someone who is an erratic driver may create a dog that hates being in the car.

I quite enjoyed the book and read it in a couple of hours. I came away understanding the "mind" of a dog better, and with that understanding the necessity for firm leadership and a few tips and tricks for getting results.

My dog absolutely loves this toy. The minute she comes in the house, the obvious look on her face is: "where's my gator?". She will not rest until it is located, then all her troubles fade away. Delivery was practically overnight too. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Pretty weak gator!, February 13, 2010

F. Li (San Diego, CA) -

This review is from: Petstages Just For Fun No Stuffing Plush Big Squeak Toy for Large Dogs (Misc.)

My dog is not a very aggressive chewer, but within 10 minutes he had this gator skinned. The empty outer covering is just lying around, but he seems to continue enjoy chewing the huge squeakers which make up 90% of this toy. The squeakers are the same design as the small round ones found in other toys, but instead are the size of a Coke can and made of much thicker plastic, so they manage to keep squeaking for a long time. So it does provide a good amount of fun, just don't expect it to stay in one piece for very long.

He still killed the squeeker, December 14, 2009

This review is from: Petstages Just For Fun No Stuffing Plush Big Squeak Gator for Large Dogs (Misc.)

This toy is very rugged and my dog (110 lb. boxer/mastiff) loved it from the start. At this point i don't expect a squeeker in any toy to hold up for more than a couple days, this was no exception. (only exception so far has been KONG Air Dog Squeaker Football Dog Toy, Large, Yellow ) However, the toy itself is somehow still fully in tact even after constant gnawing. I gave 4-stars only because of the squeeker breaking so soon.

good content, horrible line spacing, August 18, 2011

Dawn M. Trautwein -

This review is from: The Great Dane (Kindle Edition)

Some good information but please do something about the wonky line spacing throughout the book. It is very distracting. If the spacing was conventional I would have given it 5 stars for the content. Your editor was asleep at the switch!

This review is from: Kyjen Squeakin' Animals Replacement Squirrels for Hide-A-Squirrel Toy, 3-Pack - Large (Misc.)

I have purchased these products multiple times now. They are my puppy's favorite toy. We call them her "guys" and have had to create a "guy hospital" to repair them on a regular basis. The only reason I can't give them five stars is the fact that she DESTROYS them. More her fault than the products and I will continue to repair and replace them for as long as she enjoys them

I got this to replace two of the original squirrels that were taken apart. Now they get them ALL out and there are squirrels everywhere! Lots of fun!

Great toy but not very challenging, November 3, 2011

This review is from: Kyjen Squeakin' Animals Replacement Squirrels for Hide-A-Squirrel Toy, 3-Pack - Large (Misc.)

Both of my dogs had a blast with this toy. They have a tendency to be pretty tough on squeaky/stuffed toys, but after two months, we still have one squirrel left and the tree. They were way more interested in the actual squirrels. The only complaint that I might have is that it was too easy for them to get the squirrels out of the tree. If you're looking for a puzzle to keep your dog trying at for a while, this isn't the right toy. It does however, make three great squeaky toys.
