Never one to pass up the opportunity to test out a cookie, I found the Canidae treats oh so yummy.

In fact, I think these cute animated gifs of me trying my hardest to get mom to feed me more Canidae treats, by displaying my best cute puppy faces and acrobatics, pretty much speak for how much I enjoyed the cookies….

Dog Clicker App Review & Giveaway

Posted on October 3, 2014 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Smart Dog Clicker.

Since it’s Birthday week here on the blog I’ve packed in as many fun giveaways and goodies as I could for all of my faithful readers!

Smart Dog Clicker App Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I recently got the chance to test out the Smart Dog Clicker App for iPhone. Most of you probably already know that I’m an avid fan of clicker training and my mom has been using this training method since day 1 with me.

Now if you’re unfamiliar with clicker training you can brush up on the basics, but essentially the Smart Dog Clicker App puts a “clicker” conveniently in your hands without the need to carry around one in your pocket.

For people and dogs who prefer the mechanical sound of a clicker when training this is useful, for me personally mom usually uses a click of her tongue – making it not totally necessary for her to carry one around for training on the fly.

With the Smart Dog Clicker App you’ll still need to provide your own treats for any training sessions with your dog, but at least you won’t have to carry around a bulky clicker.

The elite version of the app also comes with tips for teaching your dog 32 different tricks.

Some of the tricks are pretty basic, like sit and and stay.

But there are a few more complex tricks like playing dead, bow, and yawn. Full disclosure though, I did wish the steps were a bit more detailed and perhaps in a step by step guide.

As you can see I’m already an expert at playing dead, but there are a few on the list I might have to try.

The Smart Dog Clicker is available from the iTunes App store for iPhone in a free version (which includes ads and a limited list of tricks) and an elite version for $1.99 which includes no ads and the full list of tricks.

And now for the best part….

Watch This // Training Horses Through Mimicking // Ammo the Dachshund

Whenever it’s time to work on training the ponies I’m never too far as I love offering encouraging words to my ponies as they learn new skills and tricks.

Watch This // Training Horses Through Mimicking // Ammo the Dachshund

My buddy Boomerang here is learning how to be more comfortable on a teeter totter.

Watch This // Training Horses Through Mimicking // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes though, the ponies learn best by watching someone else do it first. So I offer up my skills, and tell Boomerang to watch this as I plod effortlessly across the teeter totter. In theory, watching someone else do it helps my ponies to realize it’s not as scary as it seems.

Although it would also help if Boomerang was actually paying attention instead of sneaking grass behind me! Sigh.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at The Eclectic Hound sent me over this adorable martingale collar to take for a spin.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now Martingale Collars are all the rage right now, but did you know that they were originally designed for sight hounds, such as greyhounds and whippets, whose heads are smaller than their necks and can easily slip out of traditional buckle collars.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The same can be true for Dachshunds and more and more trainers recently have been recommending them for dogs of all breeds and sizes because of their safety.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Designed to slip over your dog’s head, this collar from the Eclectic Hound should then be adjusted so you can fit 1 -2 fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.

The martingale loop, which functions by gently tightening around the dog’s neck when pressure is applied to the leash, makes it so your dog can’t back out of the collar.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Eclectic Hound Shop has so many fun collar designs it can be hard to decide which one to get (or get them all!), but ultimately I chose this preppy alligator design, because I’m pretty sure it makes me look extra tough. Or preppy I guess depending on how you look at it!

So if you’d like your dog to look preppy and tough at the same time too, you can save 15% off your next purchase at The Eclectic Hound with code AMMO15.
