The Night’s Watch

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

Being a farm dog means your guard dog duties never end.

Even as darkness begins to fall Trooper always takes his watch dog post with pride.

Although the job is always a little more bearable with friends, so I’m always ready to join him for the Night’s Watch.

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.“

Dog Walking Light Belt Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by GoMotion. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think my readers will love!

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at GoMotion recently sent me their LiteBelt 100 to take for a spin. The LiteBelt 100 is a wearable light that can make walking your dog at night bright again!

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

Sadly it was a bit too large for me. But not to worry, mom informed me that it would actually work a lot better if she wore it on our evening walks.

The 100 Lumen Cree LED light on the front offers 3 adjustable light levels for spot to flood beam control. You can even rotate it to angle it up or down.

One of the nifty features of the LiteBelt is that not only does it have a spotlight on the front, but it also has these handy rear lights that can make you more visible at night to cars.

The great thing about using one of these LiteBelts instead of a headlamp or flashlight is that it comes with lots of extra storage for all your dog walking essentials (like poop bags, keys, phone, treats, etc) and gives you your hands free (for doing things like picking up dog poop…..how fun!).

The belt itself comes in a breathable mesh with reflective trim and not only comes in the Hi-Vis Orange, but also a fun Coastal Blue color. And it’s even water resistant, so you can’t use that as an excuse not to walk your dog in the rain!

The LiteBelt runs on AA batteries (that are included) and even has a battery life indicator on the front to warn you if it’s running low. It runs up to 54 hours when used on the low beam setting.

Overall I thought the LiteBelt from GoMotion would be a great accessory for anyone that walks their dog at night.

You can fetch the LiteBelt 100 (as well as other wearable lighting options) from GoMotion for $59.95 and as a bonus you can save 20% off with code GMEVENT20

Friday Fetch: All-In-One Smart Dog Collar

Posted on by

I’m already a “GPS Dog”, with my trusty Trax collar that I love, but I couldn’t help but take notice of the new indiegogo campaign to fund Dogtelligent’s Connected Collar. The Connected Collar is a a proposed GPS Tracker, Activity Monitor, Safety Collar and Training Device all in one. Just check out the video below to see what it’s all about!

The most interesting thing to me was the ability for the Connected Collar to simulate a leash tug through vibrations – to perhaps keep your dog from running into traffic, or going too far from home. I can’t wait to see how these collars perform once they make it into production. There’s still 25 days to get involved with funding the Connected Collar into production, and eventually you’ll be able to fetch them from DogTelligent.

My New Yellow Glowdoggie Collar

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Glowdoggie.

My pals over at Glowdoggie (Hi Leila and Harriet!) recently sent me a new lightsaber led glow collar to take for a whirl.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m no stranger to the super awesome LED collars that Glowdoggie sells, in fact I currently own the red, blue, and green mini collars. So I was really excited to test out their new Yellow Mini Collar.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

I use my Glowdoggie collars ALL THE TIME, especially on the farm. I also wear one every time I go out in my backyard at night or for a walk in the evening.

Mom says they keep me safe and make it easier for her to know exactly where I am. I admit I like to wander a bit when I’m at the farm.

These collars are super bright (the photos don’t do it justice) and I’m so glad to have a product that makes it so mom feels safe enough to let me explore the farm on my own in the dark.

Here are some great features about this product:

  • 100% waterproof, not just water-resistant (I’ve worn mine in the water, through the mud, and down groundhog holes with no problems)
  • 2 year warranty, but they last considerably longer (I’ve had some of mine for 3+ years and they are still going strong)
  • K-9 Search & Rescue tested and approved
  • Extremely robust, durable construction
  • Superflux-LEDs with over 150,000 hours shine-life
  • Superior visibility at night or in low-light situations (I’m visible all night long on the farm)
  • Intelligent battery-management technology for long battery life  (Mom changes the batteries on mine about once a year!)
  • Automatically turns on&off thanks to patented motion sensor chip (by simply holding the collar upside down the light will turn off, I store mine on the doorknob by the backdoor for easy use)
  • Perfect for North America’s often extreme weather conditions

I can’t say enough good things about Glowdoggie, it really is one of those products I just can’t live without!

Product Review: SafetyGlo Harness for Dogs from Chewy.com

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.

When my friends over at Chewy.com, formally known as Mr. Chewy (they dropped the formality because we’re all friends here), contacted me about the new SafetyGlo products they are carrying on their site – I just knew I had to take them for a whirl.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

The SafetyGlo products are the only ones on the market that are solar and usb chargeable. They emit a glowing light that is visible from over 500 yards away.

Perfect for keeping your pet safe on late night walks, visible at night in the back yard, and if you’re like me….on the family farm.

But before I could take the SafetyGlo harness for a spin, I had to charge it up! The easily detachable charging unit comes with a small USB cable that can be plugged into your computer for charging. Alternatively you can leave it to charge out in the sun – or simply place it on your dog while they are outside during the day and let the sun do it’s magic.

Once charged, the SafetyGlo unit easily snaps & velcros to the back of the harness.

There is also a handy on and off switch on the charger – so during the day you can switch it off.

And at night you can let it Glo!

Of course the true test is always the farm dog test….so I harnessed up and prepared to romp around the farm in my new SafetyGlo Harness.

Farmdog approved!

I’m wearing the medium SafetyGlo Harness, which fits me snuggly like a glove – it seems the sizes might run a little small, so when ordering maybe order a size up if you are unsure.

You can fetch your own SafteyGlo Products from $5.99 – $24.99 at Chewy.com!

Glow-tastic!

Posted on by

When nasty Hurricane Irene came blowing through my town a few weeks ago it was lights out at my house for a little while. And when I posted a picture of me playing board games in the dark on my facebook page, my pals over at Glowdoggie decided to help a pal out!

So, when my Glowdoggie LED collar arrived a few weeks later, I did what any dog with a super cool new waterproof led light-up safety collar would do….

…Fashion Show!

Sorry, I know, that was kinda girly of me – so to redeem myself I made sure to also take some photos in my rough and tumble lifestyle. (aka the farm). And just because I enjoy a good fashion show doesn’t make me any less of a farm dog!

I have to admit, I look pretty dashing in red, and this thing is just MEANT for adventurous dogs like me!

Mom says that since the sun will be setting sooner I’m going to have to wear my glowdoggie collar every evening out on the farm to keep me safe.

Did you know that the Glowdoggie collar is German engineered? Which pretty much means it was totally designed for me, you know, because Dachshunds are German.

So far I was digging my new Glowdoggie collar, but there was really only one way to put it to the test.

I had to take it down a groundhog hole!!

Now that I have a light to show me the way I am a much more efficient digger.

And those groundhogs are gonna have no idea what hit them!

If you can’t tell by the look on my face, I’m one happy ground-hog hunting dog, and the Glowdoggie collar passed my rigorous hole burrowing test!
