Product Pick of the Month
Soft Claws
Nail Caps
Save your furniture and avoid painful scratches without declawing your cat.
I find this product to be a great alternative to declawing. Nail caps fit over your cats claws and do not interfere with
normal nail retraction. To put them on your pet all you have to do is trim the nail, put a drop of the adhesive into
the cap and slip it over the nail. You may need a helper if your pet is a little frisky. The caps last about 4-6 weeks and
come in purple, hot pink, blue, bright red, or clear. The kit contains 40 nail caps, six applicator tips, and tubes of adhesive,
instructions are included. The kit costs around $15.99. If you can't find them in the store you can order
them from several pet product magazines such as Drs. Foster & Smith. You will need to measure your cats nail to get the
correct size. Foster & Smith have a size chart included in their catalog.
Note: Also available for dogs. Clear only.

Books
Speed Train Your Own Retriever
by Larry Mueller
Hunting Dogs Editor
Outdor Life
I think this book is a great pick for anyone wanting to train their own hunting dog.
This book takes you through starting off right with your new puppy all the the way through having a wonderfully performing
finished dog. There are a couple of things in the book that I disagree on, such as ear pinches, but you can just skip
that. I don't think you should pass up on this book just because of that, because it really does cover everything, from
basic obedience, whistle commands, water and land hunting, and so much more.
So if you're thinking of training your own retriever this would be a great book for you.

Product
Halti Headcollars
I like the Halti headcollar because it gets your dog to focus on you and will also help with pulling. I got one for our
samoyed/lab cross because training with a conventional slip chain just did not work. After she got used to the Halti her pulling
stopped and she was more focused on me making it easier to train her.
You will have get the correct size for your dog so that the collar doesn't ride up on your dogs eyes or slip off. The
packaging has a size chart on the back of it that goes by breed. The Halti costs between $10-$15 depending on where you buy
it. If your vet sells them they can help you to get a good fit.
I would recommend this for just about anyone who has a dog that pulls your arm off everytime you walk them whethe your
interested in obedience training or not.
