  • First Impression: Well my leash skills are so darn good Dad decided to just hook me to his belt and not worry about me. He purchased the “extra buddy” which does not come with their belt and saves about $7. It’s really no different and will slide right onto any belt. Now when dad wants to go photographing he can have both hands free and I never get left home.
  • Conclusion: Excellent! Strong buckles and leash. A must have!

  • First Impression: When Dad first adopted me I was a hellion on a leash. I was sure that I had to pull him along. We went through many different harnesses before we found something that would work. This is one of the things that didn’t work worth a darn. The design is simple. If I pull straight forward the front cinches down, pulling my shoulders together, making it impossible for me to keep pulling. Great in a theoretical world where dogs always pull straight forward… I personally would like to pull off to the left or right, which made the harness useless, it couldn’t cinch down then. One night I decided to chew the harness apart while Mom and Dad were sleeping. Dad contacted Premier and they offered to replace the harness for $7. Dad said it wasn’t worth it and threw the remains in the trash.
  • Conclusion: Don’t waste your money on this product. Premier Pet makes another product that works great, the Gentle Leader! Or you can always try out the prong collar. 1.5 out of 4 paws because its construction is good, but ineffective on a true large breed dog.

  • First Impression: Dad used the Clicker to help train me to be a good dog. Clickers are very cheap and very effective. Recommended for Rottweilers with owners who are trying to train their dogs.
  • Conclusion: It may seem like a gimmick at first, but after a while you realize what your parents are doing… The “click” basically means “good dog, you’ll get a treat soon”. So once you figure that out, it’s easy money.
