The tug of war is over!

This book is a compass for women (and frankly men too). Practical advice, insightful stories; all showing us that women can bring their whole selves to work and by doing so be better leaders. I was deeply touched by Fran's book. She not only teaches how to balance the choice to be nice with strength (in a series of realistic polarities), but her very way of writing through the pages embodies the balance so beautifully that reading this book feels intimate and practical. In every single chapter there are strategies that will quite literally give you opportunities to make clear choices about how you lead. As a leadership consultant for the past 30 years I am buying a pile of these books and handing them out to my clients. This is going to be one of the best business books of the year!!

I have been a fan of this series for a long time now, and waiting for the final book was torture! While there is a large amount of fans who were VERY disappointed by the conclusion to this series, I myself was very happy with it.

Our puller now pulls... less :) She is strong willed, but it's a lot better now that we have this lead. We were honestly at the end of our rope (or leash, as it were) with walking our dog. But she actually likes walks now!

We have come to the end of the road for Andrew and Alyssa.  Although I hated seeing this story  come to an end there was two main things I loved most. First, We finally got the fully story behind  Andrews past. All I can say is, prepare your self case its truly heart breaking! An secondly, Alyssa finally grew some balls and stands up for what she wants! And everyone feels her wrath, Its truly a joy to see!

This was the first series by Ms Williams Ive read, but I can assure you it won't be the last.

5++ for Volume 3 as well as the entire series.

The last addition to the Wild Act manga series. It was nerve-racking, fun and satisfying. After searching everywhere for this last book, I finally purchased it and was relieved to finally have put this series to rest. Like the other books I kept rooting for Ruy and Yuniko to be together and finally the mystery of their parentage was revealed and I can't say I'm unhappy about the ending!

There are a TON of halters, harnesses, and what have you that all claim "guarantee no pull" however what people need to realize is they are only a tool and that the only way to guarantee "no pull" is to work with your animals, there will never be an instant no pull product because all dogs aren't created equal (thank god!). Now that being said I have 4 dogs, 2 doxies and my 2 mixes (both rescues), JW is a 3 y/o Catahoula/Bull Terrier who weighs 67 lbs and Cooper is a 3 1/2 y/o Amstaff/Boxer mix who weighs 60 lbs, needless to say walking the 2 big dogs can be exhausting and painful to my lower back and knees. Having worked at my local Humane society I was introduced to the easy walk harness, which was ok for a few walks but JW still ended up dragging me around. Next I moved to the Weiss walkie no pull, and that was ok for the first 2 walks and everything after that was JW dragging me while at the same time choking himself, and so that brings me to the YUP pet halter. I wanted to get a few walks under our belt before posting a review, the halter arrived on Nov 29th and it is now Dec 14th so we are on 2 weeks worth of daily walks. When I first inspected the halter I was a bit skeptical as I wasn't sure the parts that go under his legs would hold up to JW's pulling, but it was easy to put on and adjust so off we went.  From the first walk to today this halter has really impressed me, no raw areas under his legs thanks to the sheep skin type material, and no choking himself out while we are walking. What I also like compared to the Weiss walkie is that there isn't anything attached to his collar, so "if" he was to break away his collar with his info would still be on him. Now back to the common sense.. does he ever pull with this? Yes he sure as heck tries (he is a Bull after all), especially when we are approaching a home where he remembers there are dogs there. However with commands from me to "leave it" and several tugs on the walker I am not having to use all my strength to drag him away from his fixation. With each successive walk there is less and less pulling, and each time he tries to take the lead on our walks a few tugs from me and he is back in line quicker each time. Originally I had feared that I would have to take each of my big dogs on separate walks in order to train JW to walk on a leash and dreaded that idea, now I am able to walk both (around 120 lbs together) comfortably. Now I also use regular leashes and the one I have on JW has a second handle for those times when he is really fixated, but all in all this harness has helped me improve JW's leash training as well as make our daily walks less of a dreaded chore and more enjoyable. One final thing about the harness the little tightener does loosen occasionally (mostly when he has his fixation moments...squirrel!) but it isn't anything for me to reach down and tighten it back up. So while Cooper is fine with a easy walk, the YUP halter is what I needed with JW, proving that there is no one product that will work for every dog/and person. Maybe down the road I will get another for Cooper just to have one, but for JW this has been the only halter/harness what have you that has worked to help me, help him learn to be on a leash and remember who is in charge..me! So if you are like me and have a determined dog I highly recommend this halter, just remember no product is an instant fix, everything takes time and some effort on your part..

Kong need to stop with this "extreme kong" (black) bulls***, as their red stuff is actually tougher than the black. The black bones get little splits on the ends eventually. The new fully red tug toy is lasting ages too compared to the crap old hard red plastic and black "etreme" rubber and the red flyers always lasted longer than the black ones

I have three pitbulls and it was the cutest thing watching all three of them play tug of war together. Too bad 4 hours into giving them my boy chewed it to shreds.

If your dog pulls, this works! The medium size fit my #35 Cocker Spaniel with room to spare so the sizing is correct. He was a consistent puller when walking...the Yup Pet Halter stopped this almost immediately. Now we can walk with a loose leash :-) When he forgets, a quick tug corrects this action.

It's finally arrived...the final part of the AVALON HIGH CORONATION trilogy.  HUNTER'S MOON is volume three in this Manga series.

Ellie has to finally convince her boyfriend, Will, that he is indeed the reincarnation of the infamous King Arthur.  The Homecoming Dance is just around the corner, and if Ellie can't get him to believe in himself by 10pm that night, all is lost, at least according to the Order of the Bear, the sworn protectors of the prophecy.

Morgan, a rival for Homecoming Queen, is out to sabotage Ellie however she can.  And in the background, Will's brother, Marcus, is still a threat.  But Ellie can't be concerned with either of those things.  Her sole purpose is to make Will believe.

As the clock counts down, Avalon High's football team struggles to conquer their rivals the Barbarians.  And Ellie doesn't feel comfortable in the dress that Jennifer has picked out for her to wear as part of the Homecoming Court.

HUNTER'S MOON concludes the series nicely.  I don't want to give away all the drama and action that ensues - that would spoil all the fun!  But as with the previous two Manga books in this series, the illustrations are lavish.  The plot moves quickly, and is easy to follow along.  The romance is sweet and appropriate for all ages.

For any fan of Meg Cabot, this will surely please.  And for fans of Manga, they too will be spellbound until the final page and the resolution of the prophecy.

This really is tough! My dogs (60 and 70 lbs, respectively) love a good game of Tug, and this fits the bill! They love to run around with this, and it has held up so well! One dog is a chewer, and has frayed the ends a bit, so if you have a dog who loves nothing more than destroying All Things Soft, it won't last forever. However, it's lasted much longer than most other things we buy, and I would have no problem buying it again if it ever becomes unusable.

For over 5 years, over 50 issues, over 1000 pages of story, John Ostrander and Jan Duursema have told the story of Cade Skywalker, drug-addicted bounty hunter and borderline fallen Jedi as he struggled with the Sith Empire and his own inner demons.  This book finishes the story!  The Alliance, the Empire and Jedi have united against the Sith for a final battle.  Heroes and villains fall and the galaxy is changed forever (or at least until the next galaxy-changing storyline).

If you liked the earlier books, you'll like this one.  I actually liked it more than the last few which felt like they were treading water and repeating the same threads again and again.

It does feel a bit rushed, and yeah, Ostrander leaves room for a sequel, but it's a pretty satisfying end to a good series.

Duursema's art is as good as ever, he does everyone from aliens and starships to facial expressions and sword fights with equal skill.

There were rumors that Lucasfilm was unhappy with this future and ordered the story ended, if so I'm glad that they were able to give it a satisfying wrap up.

I am the proud owner of 2 American Bulldogs (female 80lbs, male 90lbs) who are powerful dogs with strong jaws to say the least and their favorite game with "Mom and Dad" is tug. I bought the first ring 2 years ago in-store and just tonight noticed that it's time for a replacement! This toy has been worth it's weight in gold! I have had A.B.s for 18 years and have NEVER had a toy last this long, (with the exception of KONG Extreme, although if my male is in a focused mood he will dismantle those!). I'm replacing it, not due to it having been chewed up, but after many pulls the rubber is splitting--after 2 years of daily tug of war games (that typically result in 130lbs Mommy getting pulled across the floor lol!) and daily chewing, it is JUST NOW splitting! I know I'm gushing, but this ring is awesome! I think that part of why it has NOT been chewed up is that they really can't get a real good hold for chewing and due to the shape, chewing the exact same spot isn't quite as likely to happen (this has been the case with the basic KONG shaped toy, easy hold + same spot to gnaw = destruction). Other points about this ring is that it has no plastic "connectors" that are toast in 60 seconds, it's a very flexible rubber so less likely to break, and the seam of the rubber goes around the outside circumference of the ring rather that being one that goes the short way around the middle of the rubber (I hope that makes sense lol). It goes without saying that you should keep an eye on you dog ESPECIALLY if you have a power-chewer and/or focused-chewer just in case, dogs are great at surprising us with what they are capable to chewing up!

I hated the fact that Mort  succumbed to the pressure to become bound so I was ecstatic at the thought they would be able to get out of it.  Mort 's character really got developed in this book.  The King and others who were hateful, got their comeuppance and the good guys finally won! This was a perfect ending to the series.... Or was it?  I would like to see more of our heros but it seems their story is all but over.  The twins though, now that is a new beginning.

Walking my three rambunctious dogs is now a breeze!  Had to get used to it, but worth the effort.  If your dog pulls, this is the tool for you!

My power chewer/tugger Pit/Lab LOVED this toy.  I really enjoyed the strap inside that maintained the tuggability longer than other toys.  Alas, like with all other toys, eventually my girl killed this Fat Cat.  She had a blast doing it though!  And at that price, I don't mind that she killed it.  So many lesser quality toys are more pricy.

A fitting end to a fantastic series. In my opinion, it was the best. There was much more depth of character to both Pippa and Jensen. The authors deftly brought all the previous characters together and brought Pippa and Jensen into their large and varied clique. There was less sex but lots of sexual tension  which to me was as a pleasant surprise. I loved the book and will most likely put it on my reread list!
