Comment: I was sent a FurZapper. All opinions are my own. May contain affiliate links.
If you’re tired of washing and drying your clothes and still having pet hair all over, try FurZapper! It is so easy to use and the task it has is that it removes pet hair during the wash so you don’t have to fuss over it on your clean clothes and blankets.
The FurZapper is a tacky, flexible disc that gently collects and pulls fur, hair, dust and debris from items as they tumble through the cycles. It really feels weird to the hands and magically redistributes that hair from fabric to your washers drain and dryers collection bin.
I love that it’s non-toxic, re-usable, hypoallergenic and 100% made in the USA. It is also self-cleaning.
FurZapper even took home an “Buyers Choice” award from the Chicago ECRM housewares event. The packaging fits perfectly in a stocking of any pet owner!
While we spruce up our homes and shop for our loved ones, Pink Papyrus is here to make sure your pup sits in style and walks with pride with weather proof and sustainable leashes and collars with a chic luxe gold hardware.
This is Antionette (not our dog, the collar). Our dog is Maya and she is wearing this pretty pink Antionette collar from Pink Papyrus. The collar has a gold D-ring and luxe gold hardware that adjusts to fit well. The collars come in 4 sizes from XS to Large.
Each Collar is finished with an organic vegan leather Pink Papyrus logo tag. Washing it is easy – just wash with soap and water and hang dry. We also have the Isabella leash that matches her collar. This leash features a padded organic neoprene handle to keep you comfortable!
Whether your dog deserves to sport a new collar, leash or fun apparel, visit Pink Papyrus to find the right design.
Before the ground fills with mud, before paws come inside wet and dirty there are 3 things to buy for your dog that are must haves for your winter dog walks. Let me share these with you and why they will save you this next season.
Let’s start with the ZenClipper Precise. Keeping your dog’s nails trimmed is a grooming must all year long, but when their skin gets frosty and ears wet after walks having trimmed nails will save them from discomfort as they scratch and thaw out once they come indoors. My dog’s can’t stand staying wet, they do zoomies and dig at their ears and coat until dry.
The ZenClipper comes in different sizes and are fully adjustable to miss those painful quicks. Just the tips is all you need to clip and these clippers are designed to do just that.
Once those nails are trimmed up it is time to leash up. The SmartLeash is great for control especially for your benefit on icy sidewalks. If your dog attempts to bolt, this leash stops them. The leash auto locks and just so you can rest easy that that locking doesn’t cause whiplash, the bungee is there for their comfort so you and your pup get a bit of give in a sudden stop.
Maya is our ‘bolter’ and this leash knows it. See that look she is giving me? This leash stops her and fast. You can tell by the green that she did not get far when we stepped outside and she attempted to take off.
Now that you are both safely back home, what about those dirty paws? The Paw Plunger should be waiting at your door with water if you were prepared. Simply grab a paw and plunge and the soft, rubber bristles inside will leave the dirt in the cup. Grab a towel (have that ready too) and let them back inside!
These 3 items are available to pet owners from Pet Product Innovations and also available on Amazon.
We adopted Maya September of 2017. She is a Whoodle (Standard Poodle and Wheaten Terrier) and is incredibly smart. Teaching her tricks like sit, shake and dance were natural for her. The problem with a smart dog is she thinks she can outsmart us. She will purposely ignore us-even turn her head away as if to say “I can’t hear you…”. This is stressful when outside because she will wander and not come back or come inside on our command.
We have tried punishments, treats and she still wants to listen only on her terms. Then we got the Doggie Don’t device and overnight she began to listen and without hesitation. This is how to train your dog using sound aversion and it is working well on Maya and her new sister, Leah.
Click video below to see how Maya will now ‘Come’ on command and I don’t even have to use the sound anymore……
With the Doggie Don’t device it makes a (very) loud sound dog’s do not like. I show it in the video above, but you know the sound a taser makes? It is like that and you can hold down for a long play sound or just tap the button for a short, loud audible and that usually is enough so the neighbors shouldn’t get too annoyed-lol.
The sound gets your dogs attention. Eventually, you should be able to say your commands and not need to use your device. Be consistent to change behaviors. Say your command, use your device properly and reward your dog for good behavior to transform your dog into a well-behaved and socialized pup.
It is important to note that this is not a crutch! You use this to teach voice commands and the goal is to eliminate the device so they respond to your voice and words. For example, if your dog runs through the front door and heads towards the road you may not have the Doggie Don’t readily nearby. You would want your dog to stop instantly as you yell your command or they may keep running toward the road. Never use a device as the only command, but rather as a training tool until training is complete.
