In reply to one person's view. Especially if some evil human (like me) stuck her own face in it. :)

Um, I want one just so I can take pictures of faces in it (including my own). 🙂 (hehhehehhheheh) Talk about a mood lightener! (Seriously, though, I guess it might help some dogs.)

Um… okay.

Looks like a NASA-inspired product.

I think a lot of dogs, like Shiva, would be more reactive rather than less. And I’m trying to imagine the reaction of some little old lady trundling by with a bundle-buggy of groceries as a FACE appears in this bubble, checking her out!

I’d consider this to be a crazy genius invention, but as a lot of other commentators said, you have to know your dog. And I’m really not too sure if it would be good for either Frankie or Beryl. But I can see how it would be a blessing for some dogs. Can’t wait to read about your other finds!

I have no idea. All of our dogs have open views. I really have no idea what to think about that peep hole. I’ve got a feeling it would be based on your dog. Do they calm down more when they can see or not?

Brut would be my biggest concern. He’s better if he can’t see. And I think I would worry if they could somehow pop it out!

I think our Greyhounds would love a portal into the world, but Morgan would get even nuttier than she is! She would have a permanent sore nose from hitting that thing, I just know it! I think for many dogs, it would be a good idea, though!

Neuticles! Bwaaaa ha ha! Oh, please, please, please write about them! We had one heck of a grand discussion about them on a Greyhound forum I belong to several years ago! The words “his knacker sack looks like a fuzzy potato chip” will be forever emblazoned upon my brain.

Interesting topic since I just purchased one of those crazy dog items today. I’m not going to tell you exactly what it is yet, but I will say it came recommended by my brother who has a squirrel-crazy, obsessive, I’m-gonna-get-that-squirrel-if-it’s-the-last-thing-I-do, kind of dog. He is in a whole other world when he sees one. My brother was actually getting a shock collar (I know. I am completely opposed too.) that only he could zap when Dozer got really bad, but then his wife found this gadget. All I can say is it works. Since my foster came to stay, she and Jasper have become fence rushers with the dogs in back of us. Jasper never did this before. In seconds, I had both their attention. We’ll see how it goes, but it just may do the trick. So, I’m all for gadgets if they work and don’t harm the dog.

As far as the whole Pet Peek, I find it very intriguing. I don’t think I would ever get one, but I think it’s kind of funny and ingenious. Did you notice it’s kind of hard to bark when you’re whole head is in there? 🙂

BTW – Thanks for the goodies! The box just showed up on my step today. We’re still going through it. 🙂

Hmm . . we walk by a couple of houses with chain link fence and Cali and the other dogs wait until they can see each other and then bark (I always pretend that they are just saying hello!) There are some beagles down the street that go absolutely ballistic when they see a dog . . humans they are fine with, dogs, not so much. They stand up on their deck which overlooks the fence (they live across the street from the middle school so they get plenty to look at!). It seems like this Pet Peek would just be a window to more barking on my street . .but what do I know? It looks cool!!

In reply to Kristine.

Kolchak would probably like this a bunch, but Felix?? He looses his fluffy little head if he can see what is going on. My dream is to get a fully functioning wood privacy fence to completely secluded the demented little weirdo in his yard. He has been counter conditioned until the COWS come home…he still flips out. The problem? He isn’t trying to scare you AWAY from his yard, he is begging you to come over and play. The counter conditoning actually *made it worse* as we trained him to expect good things from passersby. *whoops*

We are a bona-fide crazy dog product house. Not so much me, but the Daddy and the Nana love this stuff. I balked when they brought home the Doggy watercooler, but it’s actually kind of awesome. I don’t think I’ll be buying Kol a spare set os testicles anytime soon, though. He already plays with his balls. We don’t need anymore ;0)
