Great for our puppy, though not as advertised

We got this on clearance when I was looking for a toy that would dispense food when played with. The large hole on the end was a little too large to be very useful at occupying our puppy for long. A couple of nudges and he was through it. It also only holds a snack sized amount. But he loved playing fetch with it and while training him to lay down, I would smear peanut butter on it which made him very happy.

Then I decided to make my own treat that he'd have to work at. I made a mixture out of his kibble, kefir and some peanut butter, filled it up and froze it. He loves it! I have him lay down at my feet in the evening and he works at it for a long time. He can only get to half of it on his own, but even after he starts to lose interest in it, he will keep coming back to try again rather than coming back to my chair to chew on it. And he is definitely calmer after this period of focused licking and chewing.

At the end of the evening, I push the rest of it out for him with a stick, wash it and make up another mixture.

He is an English Shepherd puppy, so not a very powerful chewer, but it is holding up well so far.

I really like the collar! It works perfectly on our newly adopted 3-year-old rescue dog, who pulled terribly on her leash. I would rate it four or five stars, but what I received wasn't a Halti. It was clearly marked Walk N Train--so a totally different brand name. I'm not returning it because my husband had already started using it and it does work well, but I don't appreciate the misrepresentation.

The image for this product seems a little misleading. Product is not quite as plush as pictured. It's more mat-like, with a little bumper border. I originally intended to use it as puppy's bed, but it's nowhere near comfy or thick enough for that. However, it does line the bottom of his crate quite nicely. The colored, striped inside material feels a little rough, almost a bit of a plastic feel to it, which may actually work well for inside the crate...but it's definitely not snuggly-soft material, just FYI.

Purchased this leather puppy collar for our rescued male pit who was about 7 weeks old when we found him. When we got him he was underweight and tiny (he was abandoned and most likely pulled from his mom too soon) so we needed a small collar for him, but we also wanted one that was strong and durable and would hold up through his puppy years. The collar was perfect for him while he could wear it. Turns out, he's going to be much larger than we originally believed (who knew that food, exercise, and a lot of TLC does that...). He's now about 6 months old and can't wear it anymore, but we are keeping it for our next puppy because it works so well. The only *pitfall* was his slight discomfort with the felt-like material on the inside of the collar. It tended to aggravate him sometimes, but he is also a puppy and was going through leash training. I've attached some pictures of my pup wearing the collar (okay, so I really just want to show everyone how cute he is).

We purchased this collar for our puppy when it became obvious he intended to become a sled dog. Even at a few months old he was difficult for my wife to control and he was choking himself on a regular flat collar. I first purchased the small size, but the nose strap was way too tight. The medium size is a bit too big around the neck, but I managed to adjust it to fit snugly as suggested.

Once fitted it works as advertised. Although he still likes to pull down hills, a couple of fingers on the leash is sufficient to control him and most of the time he prefers to walk with slack on the leash, quite unlike our experience with a flat collar. He is still getting used to the feeling of the nose strap, but whatever annoyance it causes him seems far better than the constant choking with a flat collar. I still use the flat collar for quick potty breaks and the difference is pretty pronounced. I do not allow him to pull me and simply stop and have him him sit, but he doesn't seem deterred, especially if there are bunnies, blowing leaves or other distractions. With the gentle leader, I can give him a verbal correction followed by a small pulse and he turns back toward me rather that continue his tug of war. I understand he is only a puppy and distractions are part of the package, but at least now we can move along without incident and actually go for a walk.

Ok, so now for the bad part. Our puppy has very thick fur around his neck and it will only be getting bushier as he gets older. The gentle leader must be adjusted quite tightly around the neck compared to a flat collar. Getting it on requires a relatively still dog who tolerates you fiddling with his neck for a minute or so while attempting to snap the clasp. It uses a common, simple two-piece mini plastic clasp where one part inserts into the other to snap on. On my dog it can take many tries to get it positioned properly high on the neck and actually snap in the clasp because there is so much fur in the way. It would be so much better if it were possible to clasp it around his neck in a loosened state and then tighten it, but it doesn't work properly if you do that. Putting the thing on is a major patience test for me and the dog and my wife is skeptical that she will ever be able to put it on at all. More than once I have run out of patience and tossed the thing across the room. That said, once it's on the improvement is dramatic. I will be on the lookout, however, for a product that is easier to get on our dog.

well, our puppy is very courageous but doesn't like to travel.  This made a HUGE difference.  He bitched as normal for about 2 minutes and then settled down.  I'm a believer!

We have an 8-pound chorkie, and when we bought our new bed, we were worried about him being able to jump onto the bed due to its height. It was easy to teach our puppy how to use them by just placing a treat on each step. Now that our puppy is a little older, he doesn't use them he just kinda jumps up on his own. We are just going to put these away for the next time we get a puppy or as ours gets older and needs them again. A great product!

I bought this item for a new puppy, a Rat Terrier. If you have a puppy breed that is feisty, smart, and determined. You might want to re-think buying this. I viewed this as safe because it's soft. We had previously bought one of the portable wire fences. Which my 10 week old Rat Terrier pup was able to climb out of the second week we had it(total waste of money). Last night she pulled on one of the sides of this soft pen and pulled it in on herself, then turned the thing on it's side. When we came back into the room, it was almost completely collapsed and the only thing that probably kept it from collapsing totally was the small water dish, couple of toys and her blanket. I doubt even collapsed it would have injured her, it's pretty soft and flexible. And does appear to be pretty durable. The problem now is, I'm not sure will be able to use it at all. We've had it about a month.

We've got a 10 week old German shepherd puppy, and we use this to keep him entertained and make sure he doesn't eat too quickly. The 5 inch ball is too big for him to pick up (which is good, because he won't think about chewing it to pieces when he gets bigger); he pushes it along the floor or a few feet, then goes back to pick up the kibble. Yeah, it gets stuck under cabinets but that's easy enough to fix.

This did not work for our puppy.  It left her with quite the upset tummy.  It was the food she came home from the breeder on, but something must have changed when she got home.  We have since made the switch to eukanuba and she is a much happier pup!  Plus, I am happier too since I'm no longer cleaning up after her all the time!  As always, Amazon was great, but I would not recommend this food for your puppy.

We mix this into our pups food and she definitely filled out in her shoulders and legs more. She was extremely skinny and this helped her appetite and weight gain. From the picture, you can tell she's a small dog, but she was much much thinner before. We have been able to cutback on using this product because she is now thankfully hungery often. I think this product played a role in that!

The first time I ordered this off of Amazon, it was great! My puppy loved it! She ate it up. So of course after her food ran out, I ordered it again. When the food arrived, I opened up the bag and noticed that the kibbles are different from the ones I ordered before (even though it's the same brand). The kibbles are flatter and darker in color. I tried to feed them to her anyways but she has no interest in eating them. I went to a local pet shop and picked up the same bag instead and this time the kibbles were like the ones I got in the first batch. Puppy was eating again.

I noticed that this isn't the first time that it has happened to someone on Amazon. I'm not sure what it is about the Amazon batch but yup - just beware.

Our schnauzer sure liked it....but I am concerned about blue buffalo's labeling as of late. Seems they are having issues. We have switched to Fromm for wet(when we go on the road) and orijen for dry. We make most of his food with ckn thighs/brown or white rice and pick your veggie(peas and carrots or sweet potato).

We like it, except it's darker in color than pictured.  In addition, it arrived with one of the poles slightly bent and it's quite obvious; however, we did not have the time to return it.  I would purchase this product again and I do recommend it for small dogs.

While this food was highly recommended by 2 different vets, my 4-month old Shih-Tz puppy's stools were quite liquid-like for 3 weeks. I even added a probiotic recommended by the vet. I started transitioning to Nutri Source for Small & Medium Breed Puppy (25% Nutri Source to 75% Science Diet) and my puppy's stools almost immediately became normal (no longer liquid-like). The jury is still out on Nutri Source as it's only been a couple days, but I'm hopeful this alternative will be our solution. BTW, I do not give our puppy any table scraps or canned food. The dry food is his only diet.

My family kind of got this by accident (it was for a friend but our dogs loved it). Our dogs are small 4 and 8 pounds. The 8lb one can fit, if she curls up, but the 4lb one fits with plenty of space. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it did NOT look like the picture. I'm not sure if the manufacturing changed or something because other people's look like the pictures on the listing

This is a fun dog toy, and the seller I ordered from, Seacorals, had a good price and very quick fulfillment. I had ordered a "regular" Kong Dog Toy, the same size but not for "power chewers", from another company, which came in the same style of packaging as pictured above; that toy included a "Ziggie" Kong Dog Treat, as indicated by the triangular base compartment, the photo of the toy plus treats, the words "Look Inside", and the arrows pointing to the base compartment. You can see from the photo provided here that the packaging photo shows treats, arrows, and the words "Look Inside" pointing to the base compartment. However, when my sealed shipping package arrived from Seacorals, and I opened and pulled out the toy, the inner packaging base compartment had been opened, and there was nothing inside. I didn't think it was worth calling the company about - I was happy with the toy, my dog didn't need another treat, I didn't think it warranted asking for my money back, but it did indicate that something had gone wrong in that the inner packaging was opened, and that whatever was supposed to be seen "inside" the base compartment was not there. So, I gave the seller a "Fair" rating and mentioned that the toy had arrived with opened inner packaging and no treat. Immediately upon posting this rating, I received a call at home from a Seacorals representative. I was told it was unfair of me to post a rating without giving them a chance to make it up to me. I said I hadn't known that a "Fair" rating, which included positive comments on product, price and fulfillment, was a bad thing. The rep responded that a "neutral" rating was considered a negative rating by Amazon and asked if I would change mine if Seacorals sent me a dog treat. I said if the company wanted to do something to get me to change my rating that they should do it, but that I thought the rating was accurate; I received opened packaging with nothing where the text & form indicated there should be something. At this point, the rep stated that the Kong manufacturer never included a treat with the size of toy I had ordered, so that I had to be mistaken (i.e., lying) about the condition of the packaging I'd received. I found the packaging to double-check, and there was the opened base compartment, the "Look Inside" legend and the arrows, all indicating that something had been in the packaging that had been opened and was empty. I repeated that this is what I received from Seacorals, and that I thought my rating and comment reflected that. At this point the rep accused me of "slandering" their company! I repeated that if they wanted me to change my rating, it was up to them to do something about it. The rep's verbal assault continued, and when I suggested that continuing to browbeat me over the phone wouldn't change my mind, the rep said "I am not browbeating you," and I replied, "Yes, sir, you are," and chose to hang up the phone. The following morning I received an e-mail via Amazon from Seacorals banning me from purchasing from them again, along with negative comments about my character, and the lie that I had called their company "thieves"!!! So, by all means enjoy the Extreme Kong World's Best Dog Toy (size S), but BEWARE of purchasing from Seacorals!<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Extreme-Kong-Dog-Chew-Toy-Small-Black/dp/B001LUSNCU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Extreme Kong Dog Chew Toy, Small Black</a>
