Premier Easy Walk Dog Harness

Heavy dogs that pull when they walk can be difficult to control, and all dogs that pull against their collar can cause coughing, gagging, or choking. Enter the Premier Easy Walk Dog Harness ($13) – it’s unique front chest D-ring leash attachment stops pulling by steering your dog to the side and redirecting his attention towards you. Now you can walk your dog instead of your dog walking you.

PetSafe No Bark collar

When the bark is too harsh for the neighbors (or let’s face it, the owner, too), one way to help correct undesirable barking is to use the PetSafe No Bark collar ($45). There are 6 progressive correction levels, so if the dog barks again within 30 seconds, the next shock will be stronger, though not too strong for small or timid dogs. The collar is designed to train the dog, not punish it, and the shocks are not harmful. For safety, if the dog barks 15 times in less than 50 seconds, the collar shuts off automatically for a short while.
