Dog Cages & Travel

The Lupi works very well. Simple, easy to use, effective.

Advantages: Helps the dog to correct himself.
Disadvantages: Can possibly slip out of it.

...it! The lupi worked very well right away. The first week that I used it, I did notice that his underarms were a bit red, but the lupi is designed to only tighten up when the dogs pull, so he figured this out quickly (when he was pulling with just the collar and leash, I was very concerned about him damaging his throat, because he would pull so much he would choke! I think a bit of red under the arms is better than a damaged throat!) As I said, it ...
...himself when he feels the lupi working. I know that a regular harness would not work for my dog as he would just pull against it. The lupi deters him. His arms are just fine now, there is absolutely no redness. The one thing that I would say you need to be careful of is that your dog doesn't slip out of it when it is excited! My dog did this once when we met another dog. I was holding him but he managed to back out of it ( this was one of the first ...

Review of Lupi Harness

Keep Your Dog Under Control

Advantages: Safety for you and your dog, easy to put on and take off
Disadvantages: Your dog might not like wearing it

This is a car safety harness which claims to be "The Original" dog car safety harness. So why do I need a dog car safety harness? = Well basically if you don't have a dog then you don't need one, however if you do then you should have a way to have your dog safely secure when in the car. There are 2 ways of doing this, you can have the dog in a crate (dog cage) in your boot or in a harness in your back seat. ...
...means we can still use our boot for storage, secondly if a car ran into the back of you the dog does not have much chance and also if you stopped suddenly the dog could still get thrown around the crate. There is currently no legislation that says you dog must be restrained while in the car but there have been rumours that this may be introduced in the future. Personally I think this would be a good idea for both the dog and the human passengers ...

Review of Hi-Craft Dog Car Harness

A life-saver for dogs

Advantages: strong, comfortable, safe
Disadvantages: none

I was introduced to Kumfi leads, collars and harnesses by my dog's trainer the celebrated author of animal books and qualified Canine behaviourist Joyce Stranger. I am fortunate enough to live near Joyce and she helped me with invaluable advice and training for my monster pup Jack, a mixed breed, RSPCA rescue pup. One of the first things that Joyce showed me as an important practical solution for me and my boisterous dog was a Kumfi safety harness. ...
...materials the harness and all Kumfi products are made from webbing and rust proof metal fastenings, they have reflective flashes and are adaptable to size and available in different sizes. I have also purchased a half check collar and a multi use lead from Kumfi and I visit the website at www.kumfi.com often to look for more helpful products. George Grayson, a retired Police Officer and dog handler is the man who designs and makes these products ...

Review of Kumfi Safety Harness

Crate or Cage?

Advantages: Helps toilet training, secure and safe place for your dog
Disadvantages: Could be misused if you leave your dog in it for a long time, takes up quite a bit of space

...Dog-it Animal Crate made by Hagen when we brought our puppy home in July. Why a crate? = Our breeder recommended a crate both for toilet training and also for providing the puppy with a safe area so he wouldn't come to any harm when we weren't there and also so he couldn't damage things when we were out. A crate is basically a large cage designed for your dog. The crate we bought We bought a Dog-it 2 door wire ...
...it cost? The Hagen Dog-it crates can be bought currently online from stores including PetPlanet who currently have the size we bought for £44.99 instead of the usual price of £89.99. Usual prices for the crates range from £39.99 to £99.99 for the smallest to the largest sizes. You can also buy fitted cushions, rubber feet to fit underneath the crate if you use it on a wooden floor and attachments to hold the ...

Review of Hagen Wire Cage for Dogs

A safe warm sanctuary for pups.

Advantages: Great for housetraining.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive.

I have crate trained my last two dog and will never look back. First i want to go over the things crates are NOT. They are not cages to put your dog if he has been naughty. They are not a place to put your dog 24 hours a day to keep him out the way. They ARE A safe, warm comfortable place for your dog to get some peace and quiet. They are an exellent way of house training. They are great at keeping young puppies away from potential danger ...
...to the shops. **House training** As a dog trainer I always recomend getting a crate for a new pup it is a great start in helping house train. First we have to understand how a puppy thinks. Dogs are clean animals and prefer not to soil where they sleep, by crating your puppy overnight he will begin to try to gain some bladder control. This will not happen straight away and may take several weeks before the pup becomes dry at night. You will first ...
