Microwave Warming Cushions Provide All Occasion Comfort

Microwave warming cushions are a safe and comfortable way to provide warmth and security to your pet. Instead of using hazardous electrical wires that can zap your pet if she chews, microwave warming cushions are filled with all natural, edible buckwheat. If your pet ever manages to chew through our durable covers, a quick vacuum will provide easy clean up.

New puppies will appreciate microwave warming cushions to provide the comfort they used to feel snuggling up with mom and siblings. Our Puppy Cuddle Pal is the perfect solution. These microwave warming cushions are puppy shaped and will hold their warmth for hours to keep your pet contented and let you get some sleep. There's even a chewing tail on these microwave warming cushions so puppy can stay occupied even if she can't sleep. These microwave warming cushions should be spot cleaned.

Older pets appreciate microwave warming cushions too. The gentle warmth helps ease achy joints to let your pet get some much needed rest. Our Warming Soother Dog Cushion has a durable plush cover and natural buckwheat filling in a cozy shape that keeps your older pet warm and comfortable for hours. It's terrific to use after pet surgery when your dog's system isn't quite prepared to regulate itself yet. The outer cover of these microwave warming cushions is removable for machine washing.

Clicker Training For Your Dog

If you're looking for a positive way to train a new puppy or an older pet, clicker training may just be the answer. Clicker training has really caught on in recent years, mainly because it helps you train your dog quickly without punishment.

Before pet owners became more enlightened, they often used discipline to housebreak new dogs and stop them from other unwanted behaviors. While this method had mixed success, there is one thing it did for sure. It taught dogs that their human companions couldn't be trusted not to inflict pain, and the bond between owner and dog could never be as whole hearted once that trust was broken.

Clicker training methods are built on positive reinforcement techniques. Every time your dog performs a command correctly, you instantly snap your clicker as an audio cue that captures your dog's attention and then give him a treat. Clicker training stimulation done immediately connects your dog's action and a pleasant reward as one in his mind. In this way clicker training reinforces good behavior and makes your dog want to please you. When your dog doesn't get the command right, there is no clicker training reward. He soon learns the difference and knows what he has to do to get the treat. Eventually the good habits are so engrained the clicker training only needs to be used if he starts to slip.

Our Dog/Puppy Clicker Training "Getting Started" Set has everything you need to begin clicker training with your dog. You'll receive a clicker training booklet, a durable clicker, and a sample of healthy treats to use with your clicker training sessions. If you want to train your dog in a totally positive manner, we recommend that you give clicker training a try.

Pet Crates Have Multiple Uses

Pet crates are multi purpose items no pet owner should be without. However, pet crates have gotten an undeserved bad rap from animal rights groups, and it's important to understand their proper use.

Pet crates should never be a full time living space. Pets need exercise, mental stimulation and affection to thrive, not simply survive. Pet crates may be used in several ways to benefit your dog or cat.

Pet Crates and House Breaking

A pet crate is an invaluable aid in house breaking your pet. Pets have a natural instinct not to soil their own nest, and will usually not potty in their sleeping quarters.

Accustom your pet to sleeping in his pet crate overnight to keep him safe, and from chewing furniture and having accidents while you sleep. First thing in the morning, take your pet outside to do his business, and then make regular trips outside with him until he learns the proper place to relieve himself. Once your pet learns this is his special place, he'll likely take naps there willingly if you leave the door open during the day.

Pet Crates For Travel

It's irresponsible to allow your pet the run of the car when he travels with you. It only takes one moment's inattention for an accident to occur, and you and your pet are at risk for injury, as well as anyone on the road with you. Pet crates keep your pet properly contained for the drive, so he's not jumping on your arms while you're steering or launching out an open window as you drive down the freeway.

Paws Shop's Home-N-Go Soft Pet Crates offer durable and safe spaces to keep your pet when you can't monitor him yourself. These pet crates have removable water proof trays and come in an assortment of colors and sizes, and they are far easier on auto interiors than standard wire pet crates.

Pet crates are a necessary item for responsible pet ownership, and when used properly, your pet will reguard one as his personal home, not a cage.
