Review on PetSafe Manners Minder Remote Trainer by Danielle Hartman

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 Like Your Dog Behaves before using the device. Because you are in control of Treat & Train, it is important that you understand the basic principles of positive reward training. The quick start guide and guide are easy to follow when you know you need to read them to be successful. The manual and DVD are a complete crash course in teaching your dog proper behavior and some chapters don't even cover treatment and training. This stuff is excellent and I give it 5 stars. In my first training session I followed the instructions and Fido quickly learned T&T. Even before the bowl of food was finished, he learned that he had to look at me to get the reward. As I started putting treats on my plate, Fido immediately lay down in front of T&T. It didn't take long for him to like it and what's not to like about a machine that gives food. It took him longer to realize I had him under control. Once he did, the treats were quickly distributed and I taught him how to play the clay. At the lowest volume, I found the sound volume to be appropriate and not too loud. Someone was sleeping in the room while I was using it and didn't wake up. So I think this T&T is great. I can watch the NBA Finals while training my dog and I don't have drool on my hands. Then it got stuck. Dry food stuck in dispenser and ring. It was an easy fix, but here's the thing. T&T is positioned primarily as a tool to keep your reactive dog's attention as he opens the door and lets visitors into your home. Well, neither the pizza delivery man nor your guest wants congestion during their live workout. I figured out why it was sticking and it turned out that some of my pieces were too big. I think the design of the wheel has changed since the review recommended using a dremel to sand the lug. I don't see anything that could be causing the sticking other than the diameter of the hole. I would probably drill the hole with a drill. I switched to a big hole wheel and haven't eaten yet, but now it's an average of 3 bites per reward instead of 1. With all the science going on here, the optimal bite would kill anyone. size of each wheel? Why can't we buy wheels with different diameter holes? As a tool that keeps me from getting Fido's saliva on my hands and allows me to do other things during my workout, it's worth it. Do you need this device to train your dog, no. If you want, you can do T&T jobs by using the "yes" tag word and manually delivering the goodies. If this is what you need to get Fido's attention when you open the door and bring a guest into your home, then you'd better find the right combination for the diameter of the feed hole. On Call of the Wild (red pack), the smaller one will stick and the larger one will deliver an average of 3 pieces per reward.
