Lots of big dog stuff here! Here's some nice things for the little guys (~25 lbs and under). Many of these items are good for big dogs, too; will note them with a * sign and list them first in each section.

Treats

  • Himalayan Dog Cheese Chew*: Long-lasting hard cheese chews; can be microwaved to make "cheesy popcorn" for your dog when it gets small enough to pose a swallowing hazard. Comes in a variety of sizes.

  • Brushless Toothpaste*: Our dog LOVES this stuff, and it keeps his breath smelling awesome. Also helps keep his teeth clean. May want to introduce these into the dog's diet slowly, as some are sensitive to the ingredients but acclimate over time. Comes in an even smaller size for the really tiny dogs, and bigger sizes for the big dogs :)

  • Freeze-dried chicken*: Easy to break into small pieces and sprinkle over your dog's kibble or regular food.

  • Stella & Chewy Meal Mixers*: Great to sprinkle over your dog's regular food for both nutrition and novel taste.

  • Fruitables Minis: Small and low-calorie; great for clicker-training your dog. Comes in a wide variety of flavors.

  • Crazy Dog Bacon Treats*: Also small and very-low calorie; another good clicker-training tool.

    Toys

  • KONG Mini Squeaky Tennis Balls*: Great for dogs who like either balls, squeaky toys, or both! My dog had zero interest in balls before these, and they're still the only ones he'll play with. Come in lots of sizes; not good for strong dogs who like to chew up their balls.

  • Dog Tornado*: Easy introductory puzzle toy that's not too big for little dogs. Good for kibble, wet food, and treats. May be too big for dogs under 7 lbs.

  • Dog Tower: Another great introductory puzzle toy suitable for small dogs. Good for kibble and small treats. Not sure how this'll hold up to big dogs, although I think it'd be fine with the gentler ones.

  • JW Treat Pod: Kind of like the Kong, but better suited for gentler, 'licking'-type dogs. Easier to clean out as well, IMO; the small Kongs are so hard to get completely clean even with a brush.

  • Outward Hound Flirt Pole: Fun and easy exercise, the Outward Hound version is more lightweight and suited for small dogs.

    Harnesses, Collars, & Safety

  • Pet Stairs*: Large collection of pet stairs. Some on this page are suitable for large dogs as well.

  • Hurtta Active Dog Harness*: High-quality dog harness for dogs that love to run around the outdoors in all kinds of weather and elements. Comes in a variety of sizes; for dogs 7+ lbs.

  • Ruffwear Swamp Cooler*: Comes in XXS, XS, and S. Great for keeping your dog cool in the summer if you don't live in a humid area.

  • Hurtta Pet Overall*: Great for rain and snow; comes in a variety of small sizes. Fit perfectly on our Pom mix and very high quality.

  • Musher's Secret*: Protect your dog's paws in cold weather.

  • Sleepypod Clickit*: Crash-tested car harness, comes in a variety of sizes.

  • Sleepypod Mobile Carrier/Car Seat/Pet Bed: Crash-tested dog bed/car seat/carrier!

  • Lil Pals Step-in Mesh Harness: For the seriously small dogs.

  • Ollydog Marin Collar: Completely waterproof, rustproof, extremely durable, easy to put on...the perfect collar!

    Grooming

  • The Stuff Detangler and Conditioner*: Keeps your dog's coat looking clean and glossy; easy to apply and doesn't have a strong odor.

  • Lil Pals Grooming Kit: Miniature grooming tools for your miniature dog at a very affordable price.

u/ski3 · 1 pointr/dogs

We don't live in Colorado (yet, we actually just started to apply for jobs out there and hope to move to the Denver-area later this year. We've already mapped out the drive and done some brainstorming about where we'll stay on the road since from where we live (Pittsburgh), it's about a 24 hour drive, so let me know if you need any help on the research we've done on that), but do camp (in OH, PA, and MD), hike, and road trip with our 1.5 year old Golden Retriever pretty frequently when the weather is warm. I'll discuss what we have for our dog's set ups.

Road Trips

  • Car Harness (we use the Ruffwear Loadup) to help keep him safe in the car and to keep him in the backseat
  • Car Seat Cover to protect your car
  • Cleanup Supplies just in case your dog gets sick (my policy if that if you have them, you probably won't need them. But that one time you don't have them is when you'll probably need them). We keep a bottle of Nature's Miracle and paper towels in the trunk.
  • Something to carry your dog's kibble in. We use the Ruffwear Kibble Kaddie
  • Travel Dog Bowls. We really like these Doggie Bento Bowls for travel, since they're sturdy and the top one is keeps water in without leaking.
  • Treats
  • Crate for the hotel room/wherever you'll be staying on the road if your dog is crate trained.
  • Leash and poop bags for when you take your dog out to potty at various rest stops, etc.
  • Toys for when you get to your destination/your nightly lodging
  • A bag to put everything in. We just use a folding duffle we've had lying around the house for a while.
  • Collar with vaccination tags, as well as a tag with your home address (if it's a short trip) or the address of where you will be staying (if it's a longer trip)
  • Doggie First Aid Kit (include items such as disinfectant, hydrogen peroxide (can be used to clean wounds or induce vomiting), vet wrap, gauze pads, activated charcoal, tick key, thermometer, ace wrap, scissors, tweezers, styptic powder, etc.)

    Camping

  • Tie-out stake and tie-out line for the campsite. It's extremely useful not having to hold your dog's leash constantly while you're setting up camp, starting fires, collecting wood, etc.
  • Something for your dog to sleep on (optional). We use the Ruffwear Highlands Sleeping Bag and the Ruffwear Highlands Sleeping Pad (we got both for over half off at L.L. Bean). Summit usually ends up ditching the sleeping bag and trying to climb into ours and cuddle though. The sleeping pad is really nice to have since we can easily move it to near the fire so he has a nice place to lay.
  • Toys you don't mind getting dirty. We especially like light up and glow in the dark toys for at night around the campsite since we can actually find them once it starts to get dark.
  • Food and some way to store it (we generally use the Ruffwear Kibble Kaddie for this too and store it in either the car or a bear box when it's not being used).
  • Travel Bowls. For camping we tend to use the Ruffwear Quencher Cinch for food.
  • Water and bowl (we use a Nalgene Bottle with a [Pupwerks PupCup](http://www.pupwerks.com/shop/the-original-pupcup, which when not in use, fits snugly on the bottom of the water bottle)).
  • Treats
  • Leash and poop bags
  • Doggie First Aid Kit
  • Light-up Dog Necklace to make your dog easier to see at night

    Hiking

  • Harness/backpack. Summit has the Ruffwear Palisades Pack for hiking, but so far has only used the removable harness from it and not the pack (we didn't want him carrying the pack last summer while he was still growing and can't wait to try this summer).

  • Leash and poop bags. We really like the Chaco Dog Leash since it has a buckle to allow us to clip him to different places, and you can adjust the leash to clip it around yourself to walk hands-free if needed.

  • Longline or Flexi-leash (controversial, we personally hate flexi-leashes EXCEPT if we're hiking in an area where there are not many people/dogs nearby. I would not recommend it unless your dog has excellent recall in addition to the flexi). This allows your dog to wander a little farther away from you and sniff and explore on his own a little bit.
  • Water and bowl (we use the Nalgene with the Pupwerks PupCup again for hiking)
  • Treats
  • Doggie First Aid Kit, especially if it's a longer or overnight hike

    Additionally, for camping, I'd strongly recommend doing some camping training in your home before taking your dog camping for real. We set our tent up in our living room and slept in it at home a couple of times with our dog just to let him get a feel for what things would be like before we went outside camping for the first time. Lots of treats were involved to show him that being calm in the tent was a good thing. Also start small. The first time we took our dog camping was at a campsite in Ohio about 20 minutes from our parents' house. We made sure it was just one night and that we had an easy-out in case Summit wasn't ready and started to freak out or disrupt the other people camping. Everything went perfectly but if Summit hadn't been having a good time, we could have quickly packed up and left and slept at either of our parents' houses where he would have felt more comfortable.

    In terms of hiking, also start small. Start with shorter, easier hikes that take maybe 30-60 minutes. Then work up to longer, steeper, more challenging hikes.

    Finally, for road tripping, especially in places that you don't know as well, I strongly recommend taking a look at bringfido.com and dogfriendly.com. These websites will allow you to easily look up different dog-friendly establishments (such as restaurants, hotels, parks, activities, etc.) in the areas that you are traveling.

Here's some of the gear I bought:

hands free leash

Boots + socks

Collapseable Bowls

pack and harness

That's the only hands free leash I've ever tried but it's worked well. I'd recommend it.

Boots - my dog got used to them after a really funny 1-5 min adjustment period every time I put them on. The downside to the boots was they'd fall off and if the dog was heeling we'd have to back track to find the boots. So now I only use them on sharp rocky terrain or grated metal stairs/bridges. Definitely nice to have the piece of mind that if your pup cuts his foot you can throw them on and protect his feet.

Collapseable bowls - for short trips these are great. Using daily for months they became a little gross, leaky and some threads started coming undone. Now we just pack out cheap Tupperware bowls that I have around the house.

Pack and harness -. I have mixed feelings on this one. I actually went through 3 harnesses. Mostly because my pup would chew them while wearing them at first. Not the fault of the gear (and he no longer does it) Luckily Ruffwear was great to deal with and never made me pay full price for a replacement. Though on one harness I did get some wear and tear where the leash attaches. He also got a little raw in his front armpits where the straps went around his chest. We added some moleskin to the straps and that seemed to help.

Overall I'm happy with the pack, but if I were to do it again I'd strongly consider getting a Groundbird Custom Pack. I saw a handful on the trail and they looked great and I wonder if the custom fit might have helped with the rawness in the armpits. Also the same price as the Ruffwear pack.

>Also, how did you train the pup that pack=good trail behavior?

Reinforcement mainly. When we hiked we kept moving, no playing, no picking up sticks (Mac loves sticks so much they called him LumberMac on the trail). For breaks and at the end of day the pack comes off and he's free to be a pet instead of a trail dog. :). And nowadays he gets super excited everytime he sees the pack come out.

Also, another thing I couldn't find details on was puppy claws on inflatable sleeping pads. My dog walked on many of the most popular pads during our hike and none popped, so that's good to know.

Hiking the Appalachian Trail is about as demanding on gear as it gets, so these were pretty extreme circumstances.

If you're planning a weekend hike vs a long distance hike I'd probably give you different sets of advice, but the #1 piece of advice is to always put your pup's well being first. Remember they'll run themselves into the ground trying to keep up with you.

Feel free to ask any questions you have. I'm happy to help puppies become trail dogs. ( :

u/fallenelf · 3 pointsr/Dogtraining

Hey I have a pitbull/boxer mix and many of the things you're saying about Jax seem similar to what I went through when I adopted Marty.

  1. Pulling on leash- Pitbull/Boxer mixes have ridiculous amounts of energy and love exploring. Marty sound similar to Jax in this aspect. Marty is great about not pulling within a minute or two of leaving the house, but gets very excited when he know we're heading home. Short leashing helps a ton (look up videos) and when Marty was younger I would literally stop and have him sit for a few seconds by my side whenever he would pull too much. It's a lot of work, but it helps soo much.

  2. Doesn't obey all the time, especially when excited. How often are you doing training? Marty is similar to Jax in that they get insanely excited, but Marty has learned to calm down when I give commands. Marty is 3 and we've been doing training at least twice a day for about 10 minutes at a time ever since I got him (he was 6 months). Before meals, we always run through a trick routine as well. Constant training, coupled with exercise, will do wonders.

  3. Accidents- Marty also had this problem! He would get over excited or randomly scared and have an accident in the house. It's interesting that Jax hasn't gotten over this, but I'd try to be more alert as to what is happening in the house when he has an accident.

  4. Rough play. Marty, like Jax, loves to play rough, but be completely gentle when not playing. The big thing is to help teach Jax when it's playtime and when to stop. Marty learned the "Gentle" command a long time ago. "Gentle" is for when Marty is playing rough and hyper and I want him to calm down. It started with him completely stopping playing, but over time it has shifted to him calming down and licking whomever was playing with him. It's a really good command to have.

    Regarding walks/energy levels, invest in a backpack. I was never able to tire Marty out. We'd go hiking for 4-5 miles, running, 3 walks a day, etc and he'd never get tired. I got him a backpack (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2KAACK/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1425671232&sr=1&keywords=dog+backpack) and put it on and fill it with water and such whenever we go on a walk just for some added weight (and to make him feel like he's working). His energy level is still high, but a nice hike or run with the pack on is enough to calm him down a ton.
u/heyjoob · 5 pointsr/dogs

Ahh definitely a problem I'm familiar with (high energy dog... in an apartment). I think it's great that you're thinking of it now. One thing that will go a long way is amping up the mental stimulation. This weekend discussion has a ton of examples! Mental stimulation is great for tiring their brains out - kind of like the tired feeling you experience after studying really hard for an exam. A lot of ways to get creative with this too!

Given her hunting skills, I'm guessing she's got a decent prey drive? Will she play fetch? We like to do some pretty intense fetch sessions to tucker our dog out.Flirt poles are also fantastic exercise tools (you can make your own for a fraction of the cost - I just linked one on Amazon). If you guys like to hike or go on long walks, have her wear a backpack. It'll tire her out much more than an unweighted hike/walk.

If you want to start dabbling into dog sports, I bet she would love Barn Hunt. In it, dogs search for a live rat in a PVC pipe (it's safe, they have strict rules about it) hidden in a haystack. It's a great way to harness some of those searching/hunting skills, my dog goes absolutely bonkers for Barn Hunt. Nosework is another fun one. Similar to barn hunt, they use their search skills to find essential oil scents, like birch, hidden in boxes or other containers. Both sports are really welcoming of newcomers and encourage people to try them, so it's not as scary as it seems to get started! If that does seem like too much, you could always just do a weekly obedience class together. Training classes are a nice way to work their brains too.

Things you need to know about your husky:

u/Chrissygandti · 2 pointsr/Dogtraining

I understand the struggle and I've got a few things for you to try.

First, like an other poster suggested, try playing with him before the walk starts. I have a very jumpy dog and I work with "touch" a few times before we even start walking. Touch is simple and dogs catch on super quickly. You just hide a treat in your hand, put your hand out and wait for him to sniff at it. Then reward him. Once he starts to get it, add the command before you stretch out your hand. I get mine to jump up to touch.

Second, he wears a backpack during walks so he's carrying a little extra weight and is mentally occupied with something besides scanning for cats (his other favorite pastime).

Last, as far as walks are concerned, before the stop and start method is actually effective, you have to teach him to come close to you when you're standing on the leash. So basically what you should do for about 10 minutes in the beginning of the walk is stand. And whenever he slacks up the leash or glances back at you, give him a high value reward. And THEN start walking. That way he associates the stopping with coming close to you before you start walking again. Also, I don't do the stop and start method, I do the stop and turn around and go the other direction method. And I'm very quick to reward him when he's not pulling and just before he starts to pull. So when you feel that leash start to tighten a lot, start making all kinds of interesting noises to pull your dog's attention back to you. The reason I don't stop and wait is because, well, my dog needs the walk. So when I turn around, at least I can reward him a few times before he's suddenly pulling again and slowly that stretches out from a few steps to longer. It does take awhile though. It's taken my dog about a month of solid practice to be chill when there are no distractions. When there are distractions, I bust out the hotdogs.

I did want to add that with a really anxious, high energy dog, you don't want to leave it to the walk to get all of his energy out. You should invest in some interactive toys like kongs or this treat dispensing toy so he has something extra to work at while in the house. Those are just two I use right now. I have gone through so many interactive toys but my dog seems to love those.

Anyway, good luck.

u/gooberlx · 2 pointsr/dogs

check out /r/backpackingdogs.

I have the Mountainsmith K9, and it's pretty good. I prefer the way its chest piece/harness works to the Ruffwears. That said, the Ruffwear Approach is probably most often recommended. The prices on Amazon for it are kinda shocking. I've definitely seen it for less in the past.

Like the reviews you've read, I found Outward Hound to be garbage for quality. I know some people use and like the tactical/MOLLE vests, but I can't vouch for them.

In any case, the K9 is pretty good bang for buck. I'm guessing your dog would be a medium. There's a used medium on Amazon for ~$45.

FWIW, my next pack will be a custom fit groundbirdgear rolltop pack. Much pricier sure, but I'd rather the super high quality customized fit.

u/Rain_Walker · 4 pointsr/Septemberbumpers2017

I so, so promise your dogs can do better! I have 3 high energy dogs and I'll tell you what has worked for me.

  1. Walks at least 5 days a week. But don't skip two days in a row. I was doing an hour walk with them before pregnancy but I switched to 30 min each because I'm still working on pulling issues with one of them. Try to keep it as consistent as possible. I walk mine around 6p every night. They know when it'll happen. As they learn to expect it, they will calm down.

  2. Behavior correction spray. This will help with the jumping. First, tell your guests to totally ignore the dogs when they come in. They don't get attention until they are calm and all four feet are on the floor. If they jump anyway, tell them down sternly (but don't yell). If that doesn't work, then you spray. Never at them, but the sound and the smell catches their attention.

  3. Dog backpacks. I use these with the walks. It gives them a job to do so they're mentally focused and by adding in some cans of soup, it wears them out a little faster.

  4. Work on good walking behavior. It's easier to do one on one. They don't leave the house before you and they walk beside or behind you. As they calm down, where they walk doesn't matter as much but at the beginning, it's best they are next to you.

Aww. Glad they were so generous about it.

Here's some unsolicited chewing dog advice. Take it or leave it.

With a dog that loves to chew, here's a few recommendations and a blog that is really great for hyper / anxious / chewy dogs. Goes without saying if you're already doing these things then keep on keeping on.

  1. change all meals to puzzle toys like the tug jug and the wobbler. Make them work and think for their food

    https://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-Buddy-Dispensing-Medium-Large/dp/B000KV7ZGQ

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ALMW0M/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493834636&sr=8-1&keywords=kong+wobbler

  2. more exercise and consider adding a backpack like the outward hound or ruff wear. Use filled Nalgene bottles for weight for an excellent doggy workout.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B2KAACK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1493834678&sr=1-3&keywords=ruffwear


  3. More training. A trained dog is a confident happy dog. Do a new trick a month. Join a class. Etc.

    All this is a recipe for a less chewy dog. If they're tired both mentally and physically and are confident, unwanted behaviors like chewing and barking generally decrease.

The black and pink is normal :) She'll start gaining more dark pigmentation as she gets older. That's nothing to worry about!

I second the Musher's Secret. It'll protect her paws and keep them from getting too dry and cracking. Also, put it on right before a walk to protect her paws from the ice melt (salt) that is often used. Then wipe her paws off immediately when you get back.

I bought my boy some cheap boots for now, since his paws may grow. Be sure to let her get used to them slowly, as they may need to be broken in, just like human shoes. Also, if she has dewclaws, make sure they don't get caught on the boots. One way to prevent this is to buy socks or boot liners to cover the dewclaws. Vet wrap can also be used to protect the dewclaws and protect her paws while breaking in the boots.

I like this pair of boots for the price. Here are some [boot liners] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LHXQTQS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483897676&sr=8-1&keywords=dog+boot+liners).

Be patient with the boots. Most dogs hate them at first.

Good luck! :)

We have a 45lb. pit mix with short hair. Last winter was pretty brutal, but we thankfully have a yard, so short pee breaks were easy.

We still walk - albeit sometimes shorter distances when it's really chilly or really windy. We got some Ruffwear stuff - the quinzie coat and the grip trex boots - that seem to help take the edge off. We also have a few zack&zoey hoodies that help keep her warm - she has almost no fur over most of her belly, even with her winter coat. It seems like even just having a quick top layer helps to take the edge off the chill. -- depending on your dogs' builds, I've seen friends buy Old Navy kids/toddler stuff and it fits their dogs too!

For us, the toughest thing is the salt. We have a few neighbors that prefer to shovel it all over their sidewalk instead of actually shoveling, so if we don't have our pup in boots, we can only get about 30 feet before she starts picking up her paws or limping. The balloon boots are fine for quick walks, but they'll start to tear up after 2-3 uses. Our ruffwear boots were pricier, but we've also used them when walking through areas with broken glass, hiking over rock, etc. We originally started getting our dog used to them around fall, so she's comfortable with them by the time we need to put them on.

u/TheDirtyArmenian · 6 pointsr/flying

For sure MuttMuffs, and follow the instructions on them. After making sure they fit and trimming the straps, don't use them for fun or games at home. It needs to be a thing the pup learns to love having on in the plane because it makes her ears less painful.

Consider having some blankets and towels to keep the vibrations of the plane low on your pup. They'll want to lean on the sidewalls (at least mine loves to) and that can be more vibration than the seat-cushion would allow.

Definitely schedule in bathroom breaks often, maybe 2 hours or so with at least a half hour on the ground. Treats for encouragement. And if you have a passenger along with the pup, consider having them sit in the back with the dog (if you can put her the back seats and not forced to keep her in the baggage area only). Company is nice back there for her!

This is the one we have and we love it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0081XIKYG?vs=1

It's pretty good quality and the medium is the perfect size for our 8 month old and has adjustable staps for him to grow into. I also love the handles. I can pull him onto our canoe/boat very easily and it looks comfy.

u/beepboopbadiba · 3 pointsr/mlem

I use this

He loves it! He loves having a 'job' to do and gets exited when he sees the bag once we get to the trail. I love it too! Its very sturdy and I just hose it and let it dry in the sun when it's hot. It only comes in one size though and it's the tightest it can be on him and barely fits. It's pretty hefty, but Ethan is a strong dog and can deal with it. It holds a lot of stuff, too. All in all I like it :)

u/tragopanic · 3 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This has become the highlight of my workweek. Truly. Every Wednesday. Thank you. I mean it.

You look stunning today, by the way.

Definitely need these life jackets for the dogs here. They are a must have on the boat!

I got my user name from my husband, my name is Emily and a friend used to call me emilio I wanted to use Emilio but then everyone would think I'm a man! My husband said emilolz because I laugh a lot! I liked it :)

u/RLWSNOOK · 2 pointsr/WiggleButts

I don't think they make my exact one any more (but have one very similar), but it's from a company called ruffware I think this is the updated version

My dog Bella is a miniature Aussie so I got her a small (based on their sizing).

But the reason I got this one over other brands is it has floatation material under her chest/belly where many life jackets for dogs only have floatation on the sides and on the back.

It took some coaching her, going out in the water with her myself, and lots of treats but once she got the hang of it she loved it. It's nice having the handle because you can grab onto it and pick her up if need be.

There are a ton of options though, but I'd highly recommend getting yourself one if she likes the water but won't go out.

u/LeifCarrotson · 0 pointsr/RunningWithDogs

>> I scolded her gently

>You scolded an animal for emptying a full bladder indoors, when they have no self determined access to the outdoors for that? This is misdirected.

Instead of waiting for me to wake up, yes. And it was gentle, more of an "Aww, Luna. No peeing in the house! Go potty!" than anything resembling discipline. She's correctly waited to pee for months. I think she knew she did something wrong.

>...You made zero mention of the ambient temperature and humidity levels. She may have just overheated a bit.

It was at about 8pm, when it was 70 degrees and 40% humidity. I tried to manage this by using the ponds and river, and thought I was successful based on her performance during the run and the level of panting afterwards.

> I like to use a Ruffwear Swamp Cooler vest with our young Pit Bull any time the temps are 75F, or higher. She can go faster for longer, and I get to carry much less water.

We love her Ruffwear harness, I may have to get my black, long-headed dog that Swamp Cooler vest. I think the heat is her limiting factor in the summer.

I'll also look into a door. We're planning on taking out the last of the brushy areas with burrs from from our fenced-in backyard once the vegetation dies off this fall, so we might be able to give her free access overnight.

u/I_am_Bob · 1 pointr/Adirondacks

This is the pack is the one my dog is wearing in that picture. It gets the job done. Only minor complaints are the lack of a d-ring (I either use a separate front clip harness underneath or clip the leash to the handle on the back). And a tendency to shift to the side while walking.

Ruff wear packs are really well reviewed, but come at a much higher cost, which is why I don't have one hah.

As for bug spray, I'm still experimenting. There is a repel lemon eucalyptus spay that was recommended to me, or a Picaridin/Icaridin based spray like Bug Guard or Sawyer which is supposed to work well.

In that first pic she is wearing an Insect Shield bandanna, specific for dogs. It worked pretty well for mosquitoes, but did dick-all at keeping biting flies away. She got a nice bite near hear eye that caused some swelling.

u/purplecowgirlnerves · 2 pointsr/RunningWithDogs

Thanks! He is indeed. It's an Outward Hound brand dog backpack. I got it from Amazon. They run pretty big, though, so if you do get one like his I'd recommend choosing a size down than what they recommend. I got the large for Linus, who is ~80ish lbs, and he probably could've taken the medium.
http://www.amazon.com/Kyjen-2490-Backpack-Removable-Saddlebag/dp/B0081XIEHE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394999539&sr=8-1&keywords=outward+hound+dog+backpack

It's so freeing when they carry their own stuff! Plus they feel like they're serving a purpose or working when they wear them... or so says the Dog Whisperer, anyway. What kind of dogs do you have?

u/Enraiha · 1 pointr/aww

His is pretty good, but I prefer Ruffwear's Palisade model. The harness and saddlebags are connected on his pack, whereas the Palisade model has detachable bags (good if you're doing some bushwhacking/backcountry adventures).

Here's my girl with it on: http://i.imgur.com/iFq3P3a.jpg

Quality stuff, use the harness separate a lot for running with her, but the pack itself is well balanced. She's held 2 liters of her own water, food, and treats while in the backcountry with no problem. Most the time she likes having her own pack because she knows she'll be going out on an adventure and gets super excited.

It's a bit more expensive than the approach packs, but you can often find the Palisade model for sale for under 100 bucks. I got mine during an REI sale for 80 bucks. Here's an Amazon link for reference though: https://www.amazon.com/Ruffwear-Palisades-Multi-Day-Backcountry-Currant/dp/B005OTYE3Q

it's the cheapest but also the most popular pack on amazon... and it's really good actually! you have to keep the two packs balanced or it'll sag to one side. i've only gone on one hiking trip with it but toby tried to hit every rock on the mountain with the pack and it's still in good condition. so i think it'll do just fine.

u/musicAlly · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This four dollar finery would be most fabulous to flatter my fairly fat feline friend. Fatty the Feline will look oh so fetching while he flirts with the female felines who will fawn over him and his flamboyant garb; fighting, frenzied, over which fortunate female gets to follow this fanciful, fiery fellow home.



Wow. That is so bad. XD I'm so sorry. Fun contest!

u/qoaa · 1 pointr/SquaredCircle

I got a hunting dog, I go quail/dove/duck hunting every season and he brings the birds back. He loves hunting but since I got ear plugs in for safety I also use ear protection for my dog. I think Cody could use something like this but have some folks in the costume department modify these to look really cool for TV. This is what I use on my dog when hunting:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002CZQ1TA

u/RunawayDev · 5 pointsr/germany

There are ear protectors for dogs. If you order now you will have enough time to try them on and see if they fit your dog and whether she likes them or not. If she's comfortable with them you might be able to shield her from the noise and the flashes by keeping her inside with you until the noise has blown over. You also won't have to expose her to an unknown environment that could additionally worry her. At home, with you, with the ear protection, cuddling on the sofa or wherever, might actually be the calmest situation you can provide her, and you don't even need to drive that far :)

Just my 2 cents, I hope it can help you.

u/Zoobles88 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

hehee awww

Okay so let's do this - should my dog be this or this for Halloween xD Because yes, I'm dressing my dogs up haha

u/hi_from_brian · 2 pointsr/RunningWithDogs

I fully agree with a fresh, and focused, visit to the Vet. Beyond that, though, I wonder if heat is not a large part of the issue. I currently run with a 3 year old Pit Bull, and she clearly benefits from using a cooling vest whenever the temperature gets to 65F, or higher. She runs faster for longer, with less panting, and no salivating.

On a different note, you did not mention how old this dog is. In my experience, the larger breeds can begin slowing down between 5 and 7, while medium dogs tend to do so around 7-9, and smaller dogs can stay spry up to around 9-11.

u/traslin · 1 pointr/WildernessBackpacking

I thought about doing this, but the bags I looked at seemed a little gimmicky. I also have no idea how my dog would handle having weight strapped to her during the hike. It is definitely something I'm going to consider in the future, but I don't think I have enough time before this Thursday to make sure it will be worth the hassle.

I'll likely pick one up eventually so I can do some test hikes with my dog before my next trip. Do you have a recommendation for a particular bag? I thought this one looked pretty decent.

u/helleraine · 1 pointr/dogs

I don't have any experience with that company. I prefer the canvas/tarp type material. I have this for Tesla - I like that the bags are removable.

Ruffwear has a super nice multi-day hike type backpack for dogs (I wasn't sure if you were looking for a plain vest or a pack type vest since the examples are different).

Company has a lifetime warranty. Wonder what their CS is like?

u/Boogita · 1 pointr/dogs

If you're pretty sure it's mostly the light and the sound, you could invest in some blackout blinds for your windows, and condition your dog to wear "Mutt Muffs." There are also websites that play white noise to drown out some of the noise, as well.

I would not hesitate to ask your vet for medications here. There are safe medications to help your dog through their thunderstorm fears, and it's really best to help your dog immediately instead of waiting for a bigger issue...Some dogs even start to associate drops in barometric pressure before a storm starts with intense fear and anxiety.

ETA: I've also heard of folks stuffing the inside of the Mutt Muffs with fabric or cotton for extra noise reduction.

u/Wishyouamerry · 2 pointsr/AskVet

It's actually a life vest. I wasn't sure if either of the dogs could swim (and Henry is pretty much like a lead weight!) The vest is very secure, though, and you can definitely pick the dogs up with the handle.

u/seasmith · 4 pointsr/Dogtraining

You could also try pawz dog boots. We have better luck with them than regular dog boots with my dog. He doesn't seem to mind wearing them...won't help much with cold but definitely will help with the road salt and won't let ice stick to the fur between their toes.

u/melotron75 · 3 pointsr/pugs

I don't know whose black lab that is. I just kind of took her to the dog park a bunch of times and she kind off picked it up. It helps that I kind of started her off by getting her a little pug sized life jacket: http://www.amazon.com/Kyjen-Outward-Designer-Jacket-Orange/dp/B003MU9OMU
Also, you gotta get extra small tennis balls because most pugs have small mouths:

I have two pit mixes. One is 68 pounds and the other is 75 pounds.

Bought each of them a life jacket from Amazon. It's easy to put on and they both liked them. I think they thought it was a harness. It worked really well for them. I bought size Large for both of them.

u/loki93009 · 7 pointsr/Dogtraining

He might need more exercise.

My brother has two malamutes and they get antsy like this when he can't walk them as much (he injured his foot and couldn't for a few weeks luckily his neighbor heard and came and took them for runs)

Malamutes are sweet dogs but they have a LOT of energy.

You might want to see if there is a place where you (or your girlfriend) can take him to pull tires or something. OR there are these backpacks you can get that you can add weight to when you walk him that help.

something like this:
https://smile.amazon.com/OneTigris-Cotton-Camping-Backpack-Rucksack/dp/B00MQGL712/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485529270&sr=8-1&keywords=weighted+dog+vest

edit:
Just talked to my sister in law about her dogs and apparently her younger one (who is just over one) destroyed their xmas tree and chewed through her laptop cord sooo you aren't the only one with naughty malamutes. (My SIL & Brother has to work more than usual this week so pups are misbehaving.)

u/joshlymanismygod · 1 pointr/dogs

Check with your vet before doing this since its a puppy, but you can get a backpack (like this) and slowly add weights over time to increase the amount of work your dog is doing while on walks. That can make shorter walks more effective exercise - but, you need to be taking that pup for a least 60 to 90 minute walks (in a single go).

But honestly you can get better packs. This one has some issues with the stitching and tightening of the pack. It works for casual stuff but if you need something for long hikes than you might look for a different pack. If they have one that can double as a harness that's a plus. This one absolutely can not be used to attach a leash/lead. One good tug will rip the stitches

Not the one we have, but amazon has a ton of options. You obviously don't want to kill their backs, but a little weight, or lunch if you're going hiking, makes them feel useful. Or that's what I think is going on in their dog brains.

u/Hexarium · 2 pointsr/pitbulls

Looks like this one. We have the green one and it's great!

u/Vaalarah · 2 pointsr/service_dogs

This should be what you're looking for. You can put leash wraps over the straps or sew on some Velcro so you can attach Velcro patches to it. Probably won't be able to find one with service dog on it, so gotta get creative!

Edit: be sure to bring dog shoes too. You may have to evacuate onto the runway or navigate through shrapnel. It could also prevent the possibility of your dog's nails puncturing the life raft. I'd also see if you can find flight attendant training videos so you can figure out a plan for getting your dog down the inflatable slides without getting hurt.

u/silverbeat · 1 pointr/dogs

I really wanted a pallisades pack from ruffware but it was out of my price range. I went with outward hound and am very pleased. The pack detaches if you need to give your guy a break and the bags can hold a lot of bulky stuff. My only qualm is that doesn't seem as sturdy as ruffware packs. But after a year of use it's still holding up just fine and at $30 I won't mind replacing it when it does finally tear.

Put two water bottles in each pouch and walk him in the morning for about a mile.

Once we get back I’ll take it off, put on his thunder shirt, give him a blanket that smells like me, and put his breakfast in his Kong toy and leave when he is distracted without saying goodbye.

When I get back from work I’ll take off the thunder shirt, walk him with the bag, and give him his dinner regularly.

u/aurical · 2 pointsr/hiking

Amazon!

The manufacturer's website has a sizing chart. Rose is about 43 lbs, but I got a large because of her deep chest measurements. The harness fits well but the bags seem a bit large.

I don't think they'd hold up for serious backpacking but they should be fine for light daypacking I'm planning on.

u/-booplesnoot- · 2 pointsr/dogs

Oooh yeah I wouldn't trust that pack to clip a leash to. The buckles are flimsy and aren't positioned to ergonomically distribute any pulling force.

If you want to hook to the pack, get one that's based on a proper harness like the Ruffwear Palisades or Ruffwear Approach. Mountainsmith makes one too but the comfort and quality are not quite as good as the Ruffwear ones so I wouldn't trust it on a dog that pulls.

u/stylepoints99 · 5 pointsr/pics

They do lose hearing, but usually as they are pretty old for a dog (10+).

They do make hearing protection for dogs, but I've never seen anyone use them. They also won't work for dogs that go into water after birds.

Agree with /u/zelyre about a non-crazy colored saddle bag set. Quickly googled to see general pricing and found this one they might like. That said, I think that reflective stripes would be an add on, so I'd pay comparable pricing for a normal-looking saddle bag but probably not more than $50.

Amazon? He wears a medium and he's a pretty average sized ACD. The bags are removable so you can take them off and leave the harness part on if you stop for a break. Both pockets have a zippered mesh compartment in them, too.

Ferret sweater. It's not necessary, but my ferret would look so damn cute!

I tried the Petsmart shoes too - they were horrible. I got these on Amazon and they work really well. Even used them walking through an airport.

I believe they make things to cancel out noises for dogs,

It might be an option, there's probably something cheaper or you can make something similar yourself.

No recommendations but hopeful to see what comes of this. I've been looking myself and haven't really gotten anywhere. Corgis aren't often thought of when creating doggy accessories... I can't tell you how many times I've bought something on a whim and just completely failed at properly gauging the right size by eye alone.


Are you looking for just a backpack with handles? This is what I've had my eye on the last few days but haven't purchased yet.

Slap a pair of these on frightened puppers

Except, we have invented them. They are commonly known and used. Even in combat when required.

The complaint I have about the one I bought (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0081XIEHE/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1420752800&sr=1&keywords=dog+backpack) is that it has to go over her head to get it on. And she's pretty terrified of it. We're working on it slowly with treats, though.

Earmuffs for dogs? They're mad expensive though

u/TechGeek1994 · 11 pointsr/formula1

On an off-topic side note, if you are concerned about protecting your dog's hearing, then you should buy them dog specific hearing protection. No doubt having a dog wear human ear muff does nearly nothing.
