Anyone know how well this would work for training a Piaffe?

This gives you the ability to change the tempo-I think it is a great training tool. I use it for endurance running to help maintain a consistent pace. You also have a volume control--easy to workI have dropped it a couple of times and keeps on working.

It works great for my running requirements. I monitor my SPM (steps per minute) to ensure I am keeping a specific pace/cadence.

I used it for running, so it's light weight was critical. It's not very loud though, so if you can handle a bit more weight, a metronome on a smart phone might work better. Most of those metronomes can make different sounds as well whereas this makes only 1 sound. That said, this device worked for my purpose!

This is much gentler than a prong collar...it tightens only when pulled. It has worked well for training my large puppy.I would give this a try before going to the more restrictive prong collar.

It is helpful for barking. You would have to use the button to train your dog, so I would think you may want to seek another method to train your dog because it won't activate the noise unless they bark while nipping.

No there is no training dvd. I think the best decision about using it on a particular dog must be decided by the owner. Some dogs require more correction others very little. It sure worked on my Gracie. She is a German Sheppard. She is pretty smart.As far as how it works Great. I only used it maybe 5 or six times to curb behaviors that were out of line. That's all it took

It has worked very well for me. I stick it different places using velcro to keep my dog out. It has trained him very well.

This is a training device. It will help you train your dogs to respond to your commands better. You should expect to spend a fair amount of time training them. It is not meant to strap it on right out of the package and push the button when they don't listen. they will not know how to respond to that. It comes with very good instructions on how to train

I have used this for my 8 lbs pomeranian when she was less than a year old, and she has honestly found all ways to jump out from it. It was amazing how she managed to do all that! It will work if you zip the pawhut all the way both top and bottom because this is a very light tent. When I didn't zip the bottom, she managed to lift the whole thing and get out from it, and when i didn't zip the top she was able to jump out from it... If your yorkie is well behaved and really tiny, there is a possibility this will work... Mine was not trained and always bored at that time!

My grand daughter and I just watch YouTube and anything you need is on there. It gives you step by step training. Hope this helps you out, we loved the kit she had no problems with the materials at all.

No, for a puppy a piddle pad would be more appropriate to house train him. These belts are made mostly for incontinent dogs. My toy poodle is 18 years old and has become incontinent due to his inability to see and hear and is mostly unable to find the door anymore to go outside. I also believe since he has been wearing the belt to avoid accidents on the wood floor he has become used to it that it is okay to just go in the belt (padded with thick pad). The belt itself is not moisture proof used by itself the urine would flow right through it.

I have a German Shepherd/Rott/Lab mix that it works great for..! He weighs approx 125lbs and would initially jump in and out of my SUV. After he pulled a muscle doing this, I resorted to searching the web for something other than a set of steps that would be more cumbersome for me to handle. Hence, I found the OttoStep.....best thing going!! I love it and so does he..!! He was a little leery at first, but quickly picked up the concept. He does not have to jump at all. I would highly recommend it, especially for larger, older four legged friends. Hope this helps in making your decision. :)

I bought it for my 35 inch miniature donkey. Some parts were too small, some did not fit correctly for my animal. I would recommend this product as training equipment but would not use it for driving. Get leather or biotine if possible.

With the proper training this is possible. But it will take you spending the time with your dog.

I have an Akita and I've been using the Otto Step for 2 years. I'm also very familiar with Mastiffs. I think it will work for you. My Akita puts one foot at a time on the step. She was a little skeptical of it at first, but quickly adapted to it. She now waits for me to put it in before getting in and out of the car.

this is probably not what you're looking for. I used it to train my pup to stay in the yard and not bark in his kennel, but it eventually broke. It was all I needed it for, so I don't care that its broken, I def got $20 worth of use out of it, but if you're doing professional training or want a collar that is going to be around and work for a long time, this is not the right item for you. Esp for sport training, I recommend a water proof one. they're pricey, but could save your pup from a bad shock

If you are consistent and work with them a lot it will train them to walk politely with a normal collar. You can't just use the collar and then expect that they will know to translate that behavior to a regular one. There are training instructions provided in the package if I recall correctly. Personally I just this continually with my dog because it is safer than having the pressure on the neck.

I would try it and different sizes in a pet store that can sell what doesn't fit to someone else, or I would type custom made muzzles in google. I love the Baskerville muzzle and use it with clicker training, we fix almost all types of aggression this way! Be a use they can eat and drink through it, some don't fit well but it's a small price to pay instead of a bite :)

Not sure mine never worked so I returned it right away. I ended up going to pet smart and investing in an expensive (160.00) one. It was worth it. I know there are some really pricey ones out there but you have to find what fits your needs. They are great training tools. Try contacting the seller and see if they are willing to trade for an upgrade. Most of the reviews were not positive. They may be wiling to work with you since you are not alone. I hope this helps.
