is one we have had for years, and it still remains one of our most
favorites. It even looks as the day we received it. The handle makes the
tin so wonderful to transport. It keeps your special treats accessible for you
yet just as importantly, inaccessible to your furry kids. And, the tin is filled
with incredible treats. There are absolutely no dog treats available today that can compare to
these. Initially developed several years ago for a Golden who was very,
very sick with inflammatory bowel disease and pancreatitis, it was a
miracle that she lived through her ordeal. These were actually the only
treats that she could have. Click on the tin on the right to see a glorious supersized image.

Saigon cinnamon (5% oil content), and organic ginger.
All of our organic
whole oat ingredients come from USA based Grain Millers, the world's

North America's premier oat milling and specialty whole grain company.

Great Lakes. Value: $77 (incl. shipping).

even that much more irresistible. The actual size for these bright Photo Gloss
oval stickers is 4" wide x 1 6/16 high. Value: $44 each (incl.
shipping).
Tell
Bell Training System (7th Place)
The Tell Bell™ is a specialized dog training device that permits a dog to
“tell” his owner when he needs to go outside to the restroom (potty)! This is so
much better than guessing, cleaning up accidents, having marked doors from
scratching or having a dog bark. Mary Oakes, President and Founder of Kelston
Products, LLC spent over two years developing and testing the product.
The
Tell Bell was born out of necessity. Following years of pleading from their
children, Mary and her husband, Merrill, finally agreed to add a dog to their
household. Mary had read and knew people who had used hanging bells to potty
train their dogs, and decided to use bells. Additionally, it has been
recommended for years by professional dog trainers.
But Mary did not want the bells hanging on the door knob; they were not
attractive, the bells would ring every time the door was used, and the dog would
mark the door trying to ring the bells. She went to several large pet stores and
found nothing, so Mary decided to get a call bell. The problem was that the
plunger at the top of the bell was not large enough, resulting in their dog
missing the plunger. In addition, the call bell needed to have a smaller radius,
so it could sit out of the way by the door. Mary’s husband redistributed the
weight and made a larger plunger using thick plastic. In just a few days their
dog was ringing the bell.
Mary knew other dog owners could benefit and love the product. While juggling
her duties as mom and wife, Mary managed to come up with the design, test and
re-test Tell Bell and now her product is patent pending. It took Mary over two
years, which she says “it took more time than I thought to design and
manufacture Tell Bell and to perfect the methodology.” Now she has dog
trainers recommending Tell Bell TM because owners are more successful with the
device that is only heard when the dog needs to go outside to potty, and the
easy to follow steps reinforce what trainers are stating. Mary refuses to take
all the credit, because her children and husband have been instrumental in
assisting her.
The product comes in a package containing 2 Tell Bells (an extra one for
traveling or a large home), 1 step-by-step positive reinforcement instructional DVD, and 1 training
manual. Tell Bell is the total package with a device and methodology. It
doesn’t have any electronic features so it is safe. People, who have tried it
love it more than hanging bells on the door, because it is attractive, comes
with a complete dog training manual; including how to train your dog to wait by
the bell when you can’t come immediately. Also, it is only heard when a dog needs
to go outside. Value: $30 (incl. shipping).
Two Spiffy Dog
"Air" Dog Collars (8th to 9th Place)
The
Air Collar is the most comfortable dog collar you will find for your
dog. And, it has been named one of Dog Fancy Magazine's 15 best dog
products of 2008. Here's what they had to say about it in the December
2008 issue: "Made of that same squishy, porous material as your running
shoes, the Air Collar is lightweight and breathable. The spongy cloth is
comfortable and designed to be quick-drying, so your water-loving dog's
skin won't chafe, get irritated, or get stinky after a swim."
