Has dog equipment taken over your life

[ladybug1802]

Didn't know you sold products, gosh I'd be a nightmare!

.

Yep! Currently in my spare room I have a large box of VIVID LED collars, one of Red Dingo cat and dog collars and leads, a big box of Tuffy and Mighty dog toys, some Nina Ottoson treat trappers and games, some harnesses and Hurtta collars, some Wacky Walkr's...think that is that! And I need to get lots more Stagbars in! Not much room left in my spare room!

Oh that reminds me, on my list of Dylans stuff I also have one Visiglo collar and one VIVID collar...for the dark!

Edit: And a freshly ordered 50 FT green leash :']

And I need to get lots more Stagbars in!

Does Dylan know where they're kept

[Ari_RR]

We also have coats, neck warmers...

The latest gadget is a little very bright blinking red light, which attaches to leash or harness or coat, for walking in the dark... So others can see us, or if he manages to get away and I have to chase him in the woods in the darkness.

Another very useful thing is a poo-pouch.. Like a treat bag, slightly bigger.. Its on a little belt, and positioned on my back.. That's where poop bags go, so I don't have to carry bags with poop in my hand when we are out on a walk.

Flirt pole is a great thing to have!

Whistles, clickers everywhere....

But we don't have many toys though... He destroys them all, even the ones that say "indestructible"

Cat has her own stuff too..

So yeah, dog equipment obsessive, indeed!

Onyx has:
-leather collar
-green nylon collar (we use this one)
(he doesn't like toys much, and shares leashes with the girls...)

Opal has:
-Pink flat nylon collar
-pink patterned martingale collar
-blue EasyWalk harness
-pink light-up collar for nighttime
-Doggy backpack (we don't stuff it with things for her to carry; we just put like, a bottle of water and a bowl in for really long walks)

Marble has:
-Tan flat collar
-purple Puppia soft harness
-Pink light up collar for nighttime
-Christmas sweater

And for all of them, we have
-Bait Bag (I like our Outward Hound one)
-Clicker
-One blue, one grey single-ended leash made of mountain climbing rope
-My double-ended grey mountain climbing rope leash ( <3 so much)
-Two flexi leads, mostly for potty time or taking them to the garden
-One 100 foot lead (haven't used it yet, dunno what I'll use it for. I got it without really thinking about how long it is...)
-One 35 foot lead (probably easier to handle than 100 feet, haha)
-One Kong Wobbler
-Two Kongs
-bully sticks
-Zuke's Z-Bones - Opal will eat the carrot ones, so we get those
-lots of random toys
-Two dog beds
-Two dog crates

I really want to get the little agility set they have at the pet store...It's got a tunnel and weave poles and some stuff.

Just when I thought I had a lot of dog equipment, ya'll come on here and list what you have!

Karma has over 160 balls, 267 bones, at least several leashes and collars, about 20 "tuggie ropes", five harnesses, 100 or so squeaky toys, 15 or so frisbees, six beds including mine, and the list goes on and on!

In the bed part, she thinks my bed is her bed, but she's got another thing coming!

[ladybug1802]

And I need to get lots more Stagbars in!

Does Dylan know where they're kept

Probably yes!!! He has a sniff around in there sometimes!! But he isnt amassive chewer....he has his stagbar in his box of toys (yep its an actual box, bought in Ikea, where his toys are kept as he has so many!!) and he has a quick chew every so often. But he has never been a massive chewer so dont think he has any need to raid the stagbars!!

Mind you, he felt the need last week, when a copy of How Dogs Learn arrived that I had bought on ebay, to take it off the side where my dog walker had put it, take it into the living room and half unwrap it....almostg as if to see what it was, then when he saw the title he thoyught "nah...."!!! and left it on the rug for me!!

Karma has over 160 balls,

Scout wants to come to your house

100 or so squeaky toys,

And she can help you cut back on these, too!

[Flyby]

Blimey. I feel like I'm abusing my dogs now. All I've got are 2 leads. 4 Food bowls (2 in the van for away games), 1 water bowl and that's about it.

That's not actually true. Pippin has about 20 food bowls, but they're all squashed. He takes so long to come for his dinner that Odin has his scoffed and is already making a beeline for Pippins bowl before Pippin even appears. As result, I usually meet Pippin half way, which means his bowl gets left in the middle of the yard where later in the day I habitually flatten it with the 4.5ton forklift.

Saves washing them I suppose....

Pah, this is neither edible or squeaky, pointless

Am a bit worried that PikiPiki will re-read this thread, see that some people have 100ft leads and be back on eBay again

[minkee]

That's not true at all, Flyby, you've built a stone playground just for your two! That's more than Scout gets. And they even let you mooch around in there too, which is jolly nice of them.

[JudyN]

267 bones

You counted? I bet you missed the one under the sofa

Right, where to start.... Not counting all the old, broken, discarded or passed on to brother for their dog:

1 6' lead, 1 4' lead
50' lead that I don't trust myself with
Too many toys to mention, including 4 Nina Ottosson ones
3 dog beds, made up of combinations of old quilts & covers and old dog beds in various stages of shreddedness
2 food bowls
2 water bowls
brush
tick removers
few hundred poo bags
several muzzles in blue & purple plastic
fleece pjs
warm waterproof coat
two travel food/water bags (that leak )
car harness
clickers
target stick
soft 'comfy cone' collar
oodles of kongs
nail clippers
falconry bells to attach to his collar so I can hear him when he's done a runner
dog walking bag (a gundog dummy bag which is a perfect size & shape)
whistles
blankets
baby shampoo, arnica, boswellia, antiseptic powder, tea tree spray, lavender oil

I'm sure there's more - when we go away, he has more luggage than we do

The 100' lead is homemade from a rope wth a clip tied to one end. No need to search e-bay.
