PetSafe Manners Minder Remote Trainer Review

I bought this in early 2014 and use it to help my reactive dog socialize with strangers. This really offers safe engagement at a safe distance. Depending on the type of food used, the jam can sometimes occur in the device, but opening the device and manually rotating the mechanism by hand can easily clear the jam. The device is fairly dog proof. My dog is very good at getting food from different containers. She can hit this block if left alone, but luckily it won't damage it in the process…

This treat dispenser is ideal for the home. But it would be great if I could manage it from my phone at home. In combination with the Switchbot button, it CAN! I've tried other pet treat dispensers but they spill treats all over the floor. I like this method more because it distributes them well throughout the dish without making a mess. Sometimes it gets clogged, so you need to find treats that are the right size and not too soft. I use Jumbo Temptations for my cat and it lasts a lot! It's not

This is a great training aid. I have trained several agility dogs over the years but have never had as much success as I have with this pole exerciser. This is a modified version of clicker training, only better. My inexperienced dog learned very quickly that a loud beep would be followed by a treat, and then when I did what I wanted, make a beep that called out the treat (or all the food given in small portions, or whatever quantity I had adjusted). ) . After spending several months building…

I've had this thing for about three weeks now. My trainer convinced me of this and although I haven't had the opportunity to use it to its full potential based on my initial experience, I firmly believe that it will work very well for my training. That being said, I'm disappointed to have spotted a very simple but important technical error. I noticed that during continuous output (sit and stay mode as they call it) the machine would stop at random times. I have tried different size dispensers…

I love this thing! For several months I wondered if I could justify such an expense. Last month I heard rumors (which I haven't verified) that PetSafe, the only company that makes and sells them, will stop making Treat & Train. I'm not sure if that's true, but I finally got one and it was the absolute best solution. This helps especially with my disability so I don't have to run back and forth to my dog's multiple times to treat her because she stays on her bed while I'm in the kitchen. So it…

Car runs great. The How It Works section of the manual was a bit difficult/confusing to understand and required several re-reads. I remember terminology and dialogue as a problem. The machine comes with two discs, one with smaller holes and the other with larger holes. You set up a disc with holes larger than the size of the treat you're using. There was a short list of treats on offer to give you an idea of the type and size. We had a rather strange problem. We used treats from "Zuke's…

Fido has a new favorite toy. The support materials are great, but the device can stall, which can be a problem when idling in a strange learning scenario. Overall, it pays to keep your hands clean and watch sports while exercising. I wish I didn't have to dust off an old DVD player to play tutorial videos. A USB stick, download link or stream would be much more convenient. I've spent countless hours manually training Fido with positive rewards, watching videos, and Dr. Yin's book How to Behave…
