14. 2 Hounds Design Freedom No-Pull Dog Harness Training Package with Leash, Medium (1" Wide), Black

    Features:
  • The Freedom No-Pull Harness design minimizes or eliminates pulling, neck strain, and the chance of escape. The Freedom Harness is recommended by trainers as the "ultimate in flexibility, control, and training." Vets love the harness because it is designed to walk from the back of the dog keeping their spinal cords in alignment. Adoption groups love it because of its ease of use.
  • Comfortable and durable! The Freedom harness has a soft Swiss velvet lining on the strap that goes behind the legs to help prevent rubbing, chaffing and sores that sometimes can be seen with other harness designs. All of the edges of the webbing are turned out to keep them from irritating your dog's skin. This well made harness will stand up to daily use by even the strongest dogs!
  • Multi-functional: The harness can be used for discouraging pulling when attached to the front or for exercise when attached to the back. The double ended leash (included) can be attached to both the front and back of the harness or just the front or the back. Test it to see which works best for you and your dog! Industry leading lifetime chewing warranty: The manufacturer will replace up to two chewed straps for free, no questions asked, for just the cost of shipping.
  • Reduces pulling! The patented action loop sits at the back of the dog between the shoulders allowing your dog to walk in a straight line without twisting or straining, while discouraging pulling by gently tightening around the chest.
  • SIZING: Use a tape measure and measure the circumference of your dog's chest by placing the tape measure all the way around the chest (rib cage), behind the front legs. The tape measure should be not pulled too tight, but not loose. 5/8" XSMALL: 14"-20" chest, 13-21 lbs; 5/8" SMALL: 18"-24" chest, 18-35 lbs; 5/8" MEDIUM: 22"-28" chest, 30-50 lbs; 1" MEDIUM; 22"-28" chest, 30-50 lbs; 1" LARGE: 26"-32" chest, 45-80 lbs; 1" XLARGE: 30"-38" chest, 75-135 lbs; 1" XXLARGE: 36"-44" chest, 125-200 lbs.

my mini wigglebutt has the same problem. He likes to be chased and chase things but doesn't like to return the ball. He thinks it is funner to drop the ball wait there and make me try and go get it and then he will pick it up and run. He gets nippy so its hard to play with him because he gets so amped up. i got him a tethertug that he will play with. https://tethertug.com I get him different squeaker toys to put on the end and he will latch onto it which is good. Although the toy is meant to be able to play by himself he does not like that. So I stay on the other end and get him amped up and swing it at him which he likes. He wont nip at me cause he will go after the toy and i don't have to go after every toy because it is in the ground. He will get tired pretty quickly which is nice. If you don't want to hammer a metal stake in the ground, I also have a flirt pole. its like the same thing as the tether tug but instead of it being in the ground you hold it and fly it around and my wigglebutt will hold on and likes to be dragged. https://www.amazon.com/Outward-Hound-41001-Exercise-Replacement/dp/B0042I5G2I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469571753&sr=8-1&keywords=flirt+pole something like this. I would recommend getting a flirt pole first to see if she likes the idea of having a toy on a pole. Hope this helps. it certainly has helped me not get nipped at, herded, or pull my shoulder out from playing with him.

So, we avoid undercoat rakes and combs on the advice of our breeder (don't want to pull out or cut any of the active undercoat). It took us a while to really get that she was right (at least for our pup), but it is what we've had the best luck with. We use a metal comb to do the line-comb technique as /u/cpersall suggests, and then we finish with just a normal human pin-brush (which he likes quite a bit) for the topcoat. We also brush him at least every other day while we're watching TV of the evening.

You asked about shampoo and such: we've had enormous luck with The Stuff spray in conditioner while we're brushing him out. Makes him look purty (seriously got so many compliments at the herding-dog park parties that we now have half the town using it on Corgis, Aussies, and BCs). We've been using AvoDerm for shampoo (about once every two-three weeks depending on how much mud he's gotten into). Aussies tend to be great self-groomers. We only really give him baths when he's muddy and we don't want it in bed or on the couch. Also he loves bathtime, so sometimes I give him 'baths' sans shampoo on hot days. Drying off with the towel is the Best Game Ever!

I have that same tunnel. She loves it. I had it setup outside for a while and it's reasonably sturdy for periodic use at home. It's a light-weight tent material and if you use it daily - I'd be surprised if you get a season out of it, but if you want to add it to your play sessions once in a while it should be OK for a couple years and then you can decide if you need an upgrade.

PVC hurdles and weave poles are pretty easy to make and will save you some money. These 1" cups for hurdles have been good. I sometimes hold a hula hoop and my pup loves jumping through that too.

u/SuperAwesomeFace · 1 pointr/WiggleButts

I was considering maybe this one, but it's pretty pricey and I would hate to plunk that kind of money down for it to just not work the way I want it to. I really like the idea behind the lupine pet one, but it says it only comes in medium and large? I'm wondering if my dog could fit into a medium. She's still pretty small. I have definitely read a lot of reviews that say the easy walk harnesses are very easy for some dogs to get out of, which is making me shy away from those. Thanks for the suggestions so far!

I'm in Wisconsin, fromm is great but expensive ($60 for 33lbs), American Premium Natural is another good one that is not quite as expensive ($50 for a 40lb bag). Fish or lamb has worked best, fish if they get gassy.

Sauerkraut is fantastic if they ever get an upset stomach.

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/Szalkow · 4 pointsr/WiggleButts

Just to add my two cents, I've found the Furminator removes a lot of fuzz but it's uncomfortable for the pup and may remove too much of their undercoat.

Ideally, you want something that removes loose clumps and de-tangles knots. The dogs shed plenty on their own, your brushing should just keep their coats clean and silky.

My aussies' favorite brush is this Safari undercoat rake. It's way cheaper than the $50 Furminator, removes a ton of fuzz, and it's much easier to brush with. The teeth don't poke or tug so my guys love it, they'll even roll over and ask for extra brushies, something they've never done with wire-toothed or Furminator-style brushes.

u/yelruh00 · 1 pointr/WiggleButts

Thanks! He's wearing a PetSafe Easy Walk Harness (the green one)..these things are amazing and I highly recommend them. They attach at the chest so you can control their movments easier and it prevents your pup from pulling while you walk them. He's also wearing a RuffWear Track Jacket because we were going on a hike in the woods later that day.

u/jclark343 · 1 pointr/WiggleButts

I use something like the Freedom harness of my aussie. I don't use the second leash option, and just keep it clipped to the front but I think the extra piece between the legs helps to actually keep the harness in position. I find that the easy walk can shift a lot or hangs low unless it fits perfectly which is hard to do.

We personally use a Herta Lifeguard harness: https://www.amazon.com/Hurtta-Collection-35-Inch-Padded-Harness/dp/B003TWISUU/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474642082&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=hertta+harness

It's our favorite harness. It doesn't have a front-clip option, but it has one on either side as well as on the handle on top. It's been a very handy harness to have when we need to easily grab him (he just loves see what's happening when two other dogs get in a scuffle...).

These are Penny's favorite toys, and they are super cheap. Feel free to link your pup's favorite too! Christmas is coming!

Like others have said, crate train. Wrangler hated his crate the first time I put him in it, so go slowwww. Tips:

  • Get a crate that's only big enough to let him stand up and turn around. Chewy sells a crate that has a divider so you can increase his space as he grows.
  • Feed them near/in the crate. Play near the crate. When he sleeps, place him in the crate with the door open. Teach him that the crate isn't scary.
  • Go SLOW. Start with closing the door for two seconds, then five seconds, ten seconds, etc. Do not open the crate if he whines or barks. Only open it up once he settles down. This may take a while.
  • When introducing them to the crate, come back and leave the room to let them know that you're not abandoning them. Talk to them, but don't speak in a calming voice because it might teach them they have something to be afraid of. Speak in a regular tone.
  • Don't use puppy pads! This will teach them to go inside the crate/house and is apparently a hard behavior to break. Yes, it is different than them going on a blanket because their scent entices them to go. You're better off just tossing a blanket in the wash.
  • A puppy can generally hold their bladder/bowls for as many months old that they are plus one extra hour. So eight weeks, three hours. This is a general rule, and not always true, especially when they are in the crate. My 9 week old pup will go 7 hours in his crate before he whines to go outside. So do be prepared to wake up in the middle of the night to go potty. I would get an alarm app on your phone that goes off at a time (within a range you specify) where you are not in the middle of a sleep cycle so you aren't so groggy when you wake up.
  • Put something with your scent in the crate that he won't rip to total shreds. I'd suggest a sweatshirt with drawstrings removed.
  • I wrapped a small ticking clock up in a blanket to mimic a heartbeat to comfort my MAS. We then upgraded to a Snuggle Puppy

    I read a good crate training guide online, but I can't find it. When I do I will post it!
