Bark Genie Pet Product Review & BarkWorld 2013 Swag Giveaway!

Yes, I finally have the BarkWorld swag ready to give away!  It took me longer than  I expected to unpack and take photos.

First, I would like to thank all of the BarkWorld staff & sponsors for making BarkWorld possible, and for all of the pawsome swag!

Thank you to my pal Sandy Robbins for the delicious treats from Loving Pets!  The It's Purely Natural Beef & Brown Rice Biscotti with Sweet Potato Chunks treats are furrific!
These natural treats are made in the USA, just like all of the Loving Pets treats I've reviewed.   Ingredients:  Beef, Brown Rice Flour, Dried Sweet Potatoes.

The Bark Genie from First Alert was Mom's "secret" weapon during BarkWorld.  (First Alert is a brand from Jarden Corporation, one of the BarkWorld 2013 sponsors.)   Mom kept the Bark Genie in the bottom of my stroller to control my barking.   I wasn't in a very yappy mood at BarkWorld this year, so Mom didn't get to test the Bark Genie as much as she would have liked.

I BOL! at attempts to silence me!

Once we were home, Mom tested it again.  It works on me some of the time.   However, nothing has ever been able to stop me from barking when I think I have something very important to woof.   BOL!!   Even a treat held right in front of my nose will be ignored when I need to bark at a dog that is too close to my property.   Even though it hasn't stopped my urgent barking, it has reduced my regular kind of barking.  Mom likes that this ultrasonic device has a test mode with a light that shows you it is working fine & that the batteries aren't dead.    It is the best one we have tested so far.  (I have tested a few ultrasonic devices, this is the first one that is successful enough to include on Pepper's Paws).  I am just very persistent.  I wanted another barking dog's opinion, so I asked my pal Oz the Terrier to test the smaller handheld Bark Genie for me.    This is his report:

Dear my pink princess, Pepper:

I was very excited when you let me borrow your hand held Bark Genie.  I could not wait to take him with me on my walks. 

Of course, I made Ma carry the Bark Genie.  She said it has a very convenient wrist strap that adjusts so it fits any size wrist securely and comfortably. 

We went on our first walk and I barked like a mad dog so Ma pushed the button.  I stopped barking immediately and waited for the Genie to appear to grant me my wish...but no Genie appeared.  

I feared my Bark Genie must not be working properly since no Genie popped out so a little while later, I barked like a mad dog again (as you know, I cannot be silenced for very long).  Again, Ma pushed the button and I stopped barking.  Still, no Genie.  That happened several more times...and never did a Genie appear to grant me my wish however a few times, Ma gave me a training treat and said "Good boy, Oz".

Later in the day, while resting comfortably with my Bark Genie, I got to thinking.  Maybe my Bark Genie is not a Genie after all.  Maybe it is a way to train my Ma into becoming a Treat Genie?!? 

So, on my next walk with Ma I barked a lot to test out this theory.  We walked, I barked my fool-head off, Ma pressed the button on the Bark Genie, I immediately stopped barking and Ma said "Good boy" and gave me a training treat. 

It worked!!  The Bark Genie really works!!!  If you bark a lot but stop when the Bark Genie tells you to, you can train your mom to give you treats!

I know I need to give the hand held Bark Genie back to you but if I could keep it a little longer I am sure I will have my Ma completely trained. 

Thank you, Pepper for lending me your Bark Genie!

Oz the Terrier

Oz, I must admit that I never saw a Genie pop out of mine either.  BOL!  At least you got some treats out of the handheld one.  The one in my house didn't give me any treats.  I wonder if Mom told it I was on a d-i-e-t?   It's weatherproof, so maybe I should put it outside to stop other dogs from barking back at me!  BOL!  It has a range of 50 feet, so it is a great product if you have a dog neighbor who barks from boredom because its humans leave it out in the yard all day.

Nourish is a great pet shampoo that is also a brand of Jarden Corporation.  It is available at Target.  What I really love about this company is that they donate a bottle of shampoo to a rescue every time a bottle of shampoo is purchased.   (I think Nourish shampoo is only available at Target.)  I have a bottle of the Soothing Milk Bath.  

Look at all of the swag included in the prize for one lucky dog!  

A full size bottle of Nourishing Oatmeal shampoo from Nourish is included in the dog swag prize.   (This bottle is in a special sealed shipping wrapper.)

 TagaPet donated one of their Argos tags specifically for the dog swag prize.  Whenever the QR code on your tag is scanned, it sends your GPS location to your humans.    TagaPet wants to see all lost pets returned to their owners.

I know everyone wants StarWars Yoda ears from Petco!   Guess what!  They are included in the dog swag prize!

Don't worry, I didn't forget my kitty pals!   Look at all the kitty swag in your prize!   Yes, you get Yoda ears too!  BOL!
