Deaf, Blind & Shy Dog Apparel
Should a deaf dog find themselves on the run, the collar cover alerts the public that “calling” the dog to them, may not work. It is also a wonderful educational tool which allows owners of deaf dogs to discuss canine deafness with the public. Many people are amazed to learn that dogs can be deaf and that they learn sign language very easily.

The Cape Cod House
Being in the dog house has a whole new meaning! Created by our resident industrial designer, The Cape Dog House is a whimsical twist on a traditional style. Constructed of heavy-duty 1/2 inch birch plywood, it is painted a dark blue-gray, and topped with cedar shake shingles, reminiscent of a New England coastal home. Its unique features are revealed from every angle...each wall leans out, so that it is wider at the roof line than it is at the floor. Irregular shaped windows allow for maximum ventilation and comfort of your best friend, while further enhancing this eclectic design. Now everyone will want to be in the doghouse!

Sweet Potato Dog Chewz
"All of our chews are made from orange fleshed, sweet potato (though sometimes you may find them labeled as "yams" at the grocery store.) These chews are highly nutritious and excellent for your dog’s teeth and health. Sweet potato is very high in anti-oxidants. We add nothing artificial, no sweeteners, colors, or processed food items. Sam’s Yams are made only of human food quality, fresh sweet potato and nothing more. The trick is in the patent pending drying process, where the sweet potato is transformed into a chew that has characteristics similar to rawhide or jerky. Basically, a vegetable rawhide-like chew. Best of all, Dogs Love Them!!!" link- Front Porch Pets
Ten Tips for Preventing Pet Behavior Problems
1. Set rules immediately and stick to them.
2. Avoid situations that promote inappropriate behavior.
3. Observe the pet and provide what it needs to be cared for and attended to.
4. Supervise the new pet diligently through undivided individual attention and training, and restrict the pet's access to a limited area of the house until training is complete.
5. Encourage good behavior with praise and attention.
6. Correct bad behaviors by providing positive alternatives. (A toy for a slipper, scratching post for the sofa.)
7. Never physically punish or force compliance to commands. This may lead to fear biting or aggression.
8. Don't play rough or encourage aggression or play biting.
9. Expose pets to people, animals, and environments where you want them to live.
10. See your veterinarian if serious or unresolved behavior problems
exist.

Float A Pet
Float-A-Pet is an illuminated inflatable pet collar with smart sensor and locative technology.
How the system works:
The collar serves to support two main situations. First, the passive system is used to recognize where your pet is located at night. The flexible solar cells gather the suns energy during the day and store it in small rechargeable batteries. A light sensor recognizes low light conditions and triggers LEDs to illuminate the collar. Second, the active system is used in disaster relief situations. For example: In the event of a hurricane or the act of simply slipping into a pool. The Collar has a clipped on CO2 cartridge designed to break away. When the integrated humidity sensor reaches its threshold, it is activated. It dispenses CO2 and inflates the collar into a float. The passive solar system will support the floatation device at night by blinking intermittently to get one's attention.
