We've been very busy in recent days updating the accuracy of our search.  We still have a bit more left to do, but as of now our search is much more accurate than it previously was.  The following may get a little too technical for all but the most nerdy of you ;-)  Please read on if you're either a software developer, or just glutton for punishment! 

Previously, our search was was very elementary in that it would take your search terms and check the title then the description of each item for those terms.  Basically if you searched for Dog Bowls we would search the title of the description for Dog Bowls and then the description for Dog Bowls.  However, if the title contained the text Dog Food Bowls then that item wouldn't have been found.  I know - pretty pathetic.  Also we weren't checking the actual category that the items belonged to in the search.  For instance a search for Pet Accessories would not previously search the category Accessories but instead would have searched for items that contain the words Pet Accessories in their title or description.  Further, the two words would have needed to be right next to each other.

Now what we are doing is creating a hash table of keywords and cross referencing those keywords to the corresponding items.  Then we add in a keyword that tells if the items is for cats or dogs, male or female, and which category each item is under.  This means that when you search for Dog Leads all leads for dogs will show up regardless of if the item actually says Dog Leads anywhere in it's title or description. 

Why not try a search for Dog Carriers, Cat Toys, or even Nylon Dog Collars and see what you come up with today?

Also please note that we are always interested in improving our site, so please, if you ever do a search for something and can't find it but later discover that we actually have it - please send us an email and let us know! 

Happy searching!

There's a bunch of dog training options out there. Some work, some don't. It all depends on the specific needs of each dog.  The most common form of dog training is the collar.  While most owners use regular quick release nylon dog collars or buckled nylon collars, a lot of the time your pet can easily escape if they figure out how to move just right.  For these types of "stubborn" dogs it is best to use training collars.  There are many types of training collars.  Two of the most popular are the martingale collars and prong collars. 

The martingale collars are mostly made for sight hounds because their heads are smaller than their necks.  These martingale collars are similar to choker chains but are made mostly of nylon.  They are more comfortable but most importantly, safer than choker collars.  The martingale collars expand and contract but only to a certain point.  They feature a safety that only allows the collar to get so small. Choker chains do not have a limit and therefore can constrict the windpipe of your pet causing injury. 

Prong collars, also known as Pinch collars are similar to the martingale collars in that they have the same safety feature.  However, these are much more heavy duty and are meant for use on more assertive and aggressive dogs.  The prongs simulate a bite and "pinch" the neck when the collar is pulled taught.  These collars are excellent for correcting bad behavior in larger and more assertive dogs.  No worries though, these prongs will not puncture the skin and many are available with rubber tips for extra comfort.

When armed with the right pet supplies, it makes dog training that much easier!
