Tug-Preventing Dog Trainer
Most dogs don’t take to a leash too kindly the first time you slip it onto them – the secret is to let them know that you’re the pack leader, and they’re supposed to follow a step behind you whenever the both of you take a walk. Any tugging or pulling is a no-no, but what happens when you think that you’ve exhausted all avenues, including those pronged collars that might seem a tad painful to some, and nothing has worked so far?
Perhaps this $39.95 Tug-Preventing Dog Trainer might be able to help. This ultrasonic device is meant to help you train your four legged friend walk without tugging your arm off, especially if it is a large and active breed. You will attach the Tug-Preventing Dog Trainer between the leash and collar, and whenever Fido decides to tug, the built-in speaker will emit a harmless ultrasonic tone which irritates your furball without being audible to you. That’ll teach him to walk in step!
The more the dog tugs, the louder the ultrasonic tone becomes, and you can adjust it up to four volume levels. Nice to know that this tone will be directed to the leashed pet so that others in the vicinity will not be disturbed, and it is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.
I’m not sure if this is waterproof though, so you might want to remember removing this from the collar before you let Fido off for a swim.
Twitch Automated Cat Toy
I am a firm believer in the theory that dogs need to be taken for a walk daily in order to burn off their excess energy so that behaviorial problems can be minimized or eliminated – but when it comes to cats, it seems that those felines do not know their place. They think that they’re the master of the place, traipsing in and out as they please without a care or concern in the world on how you’re feeling at that particular moment. And yet, some of us continue to play subservient to this species, so if you fall under that category, you might want to check out the $19.99 Twitch Automated Cat Toy.
This cat toy intends to help keep your little feline friend occupied whenever you’re away, where this programmable toy will provide some form of entertainment for your cat. It can be attached to most surfaces without any issues thanks to the suction cup, and will sport regulars such as the ball, feather, & bell toy that swings around in order to invite an attack.
Put it in “Away” mode and it will beep and perform a 10-minute play session at the time of your choice throughout the day. Just make sure there is enough food in the bowl and a clean set of litter before you pack your bags and leave!
Frolicat Bolt Laser Cat Toy
You know how cats love to chase stuff, whether it is alive or inanimate – here is something that might just keep your kitten (and adult cats, of course) occupied for hours on end – with the Frolicat Bolt Laser Cat Toy. As you can tell by its name, this device will project a red dot (somewhat similar to how those laser pointers work) onto the surface where you point it to, and see your kitty go nuts trying to track it down only to realize that it cannot be “killed” or “maimed”.
You can opt to use it manually where you dish out the dose of frustration, or set it on automatic mode and see it deliver hours of fun for your favorite feline. All you need to do to have it work on its own would be to place it on a flat surface and turn it on. The Bolt will turn off by itself automatically after a 15 minute session, and make sure you have a quartet of AA batteries hanging around always to keep it juiced up.
I’m not quite sure whether Jon would fork out $19.99 for the Frolicat Bolt Laser Cat Toy when Garfield’s birthday rolls around…
Hyper Flying Duck
Own a dog who loves playing nothing but fetch? A game of tug, going swimming, or performing basic obedience commands don’t quite cut the mustard for ol’ Fido – and nothing gets him going like a game of fetch. To make things more challenging for you as the owner, he can be at it for hours on end literally, but look on the bright side – at least you get to practice your throwing arm, right?
How about a little help from the £8.99 Hyper Flying Duck? Yes sir, this unique device will be able to launch the Hyper Flying Duck at a range of up to 100 feet, where the only kind of effort you would need to expend would be using your thumb to flip the trigger. To make sure the Hyperduck takes a decent flight, hook your thumb under the beak and pull back the tail rope with your other hand. Aim and release accordingly, and see Fido fly after it with gusto!
Good thing the Hyperduck is made out of tough suede and woven material so that it won’t get worn out too fast – but will instead clean and strengthen your dog’s teeth as you play. Neat, no?
Professional Fit Fur Life Treadmill
I read somewhere that you can drive a dog nuts by having it walk on a treadmill, because if you follow Cesar Millan’s school of thought, dogs need their daily walk to burn away mental and physical energy, and doing so on a treadmill is not going to work. Surely there are others who dispute this, and for those who prefer to take the risk of walking in the comfort of their own homes with their pooches, there is always the Professional Fit Fur Life Treadmill that will set you back by a whopping £2,535. Yes sir, that is no chump change for sure!
Perhaps it is better used to rehabilitate injured animals, since that was why it was developed for in the first place anyways, in addition to training service dogs. If you’re one of the more exclusive folks who bring your cat for walks, then this might also be worth looking into, no? No idea on whether your dog is going to love this or not, as the noise or unfamiliar manner might just be a huge turn off, which means you would have just blown more than two thousand quid on a really, really large paperweight in your living room.
On the bright side, at least you can walk on it – all alone if Fido prefers to lie down there and whimper in the corner because he wants to experience real trees and chase rabbits across the meadow.
Heated Pet Car Seat will make Fido love you more
For those who see vehicles as a mode of transport, and not an expensive purchase that needs to be taken care of far better than an ancient mummy, then chances are you won’t let your pooch or cat roam free in the back seats of your vehicle. Here’s something for folks who love their furkids to bits, and want to provide the very best for them – hence the Heated Pet Car Seat, perfect for those winter moments.
This can be touted to be the only kind of pet car seat which is heated to deliver a cozy, warm quarter for pets whenever you travel. There is a 12-volt heater located inside the seat cushion, where it is capable of producing a mild radiant heat up to 15º F above the ambient temperature. The seat cushion itself is filled with 3″ of soft, supportive foam, while the interior of the car seat is covered with smooth, plush fleece.
You can string the car’s seat belt through the base of the car seat to help it remain stable even when you drive, and as long as Fido doesn’t chew through the heating element’s plug to the vehicle’s DC outlet, the both of you should be better off. Expect to fork out $149.95 for the Heated Pet Car Seat.
Sleepy Bunny lets your new pup sleep
If you happen to have rescued a puppy from the local shelter, or one of your friends decided that a litter of 8 labradors are too much to handle, hence giving away some of them, then you might want to enlist the help of the £15.99 Sleepy Bunny. Why so? Puppies might find separation anxiety of be an issue, of course, and when they’re removed from their litter and their mom, it can be quite hard to sleep – and when puppy whines at night, no one else gets their fair share of rest as well.
The Sleepy Bunny intends to provide a sense of security to puppy, where it is not powered by carrots but a couple of AA batteries. The Puppy Pulse inside will simulate a heartbeat that calms and reassures the latest addition to your family, making them doze off to puppy dreamland, chasing balls and having unlimited treats in the process, before waking up the next morning to a pleasant greeting and plenty of love from the family.
Aikiou Cat Stimulo Feeding Station
You know, pets do have feelings as well, and they can feel rather neglected at times, losing their appetite. You can’t just pull a tuna out from your pocket to make sure Garfield’s appetite is going to come back just like that – so why not get the $24.99 Aikiou Cat Stimulo Feeding Station and see it work wonders? Hopefully it will work as advertised, but before that, let us take a closer look at how it works.
This unique device is an interactive cat food dish which will stimulate the intellect while making sure your cat remains entertained during its mealtime. You will be able to hide bits of kibble in the bowl’s many tubes, so little puss will need to fish the kibble out with its paw whenever hungry. This in turn makes meals longer to eat, and that results in no weight gain – reducing digestive problems in the process to boot. Stimulo is also said to have brought back interest in food for older cats.
What do you think? Does it work wonders?
