How to Keep Your Dog Fit with a Wobble Board + A Giveaway

Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by the Dog Agility Shop. All opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!

Real Dogs Have Muscles! via Ammo the Dachshund

Us dogs are powerful, muscled beasts (well when we’re in proper shape), and I’ve always been one to believe that the greatest service you can do for your dog is to help them keep in shape! As hard as it is to “feel the burn”, I’ve always believed that being the ideal weight will help keep us dogs from getting injuries, health problems, and even back issues (especially important for us dachshunds). Which is also why I’m so excited to tell you about a product to help keep your pup well muscled from my friends at the Dog Agility Shop.

How to Keep Your Dog Fit with a Wobble Board + A Giveaway with the Dog Agility Shop

Introducing the Wobble Board! The Wobble Board from the Dog Agility Shop is a 22″ wide board that sits about 3.5″ off the ground.

How to Keep Your Dog Fit with a Wobble Board + A Giveaway with the Dog Agility Shop

The attached wooden ball to the underside keeps the board “wobbly”. It’s even painted with silica (sand) on the surface for added traction.

The Wobble Board has lots of great benefits for your dog:

  • Improves your dog’s reaction and control
  • Improves balance
  • Improves sensory & body awareness
  • Helps strengthen the bond with your dog through interactive positive training
  • Builds confidence in your dog or puppy
  • Can be use to introduce your dog to contacts and dog agility equipment that will move
  • Can be used to rehab after an injury (torn ACL, sprains, etc)
  • Builds muscle and strength

With Trooper as my coach, mom used some yummy treats to lure me onto the Wobble Board.

Once I was confident enough to put all 4 paws on, she used the treat to lure me around on the board to get my core really working! But to really get the full effect of how the Wobble Board works, you’ll have to watch me in action…

I’ve actually been using the Wobble Board a couple time a week, and it’s going to be great in the winter months especially when it’s a little too cold to run around on the farm. I’ll use this to keep fit indoors!

You can fetch your own Wobble Board from the Dog Agility Shop in two fun colors, Purple or Blue for $49!

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween weekend, I know I sure did. I’ll be back later this week to share my Halloweenie adventures with you, but today I wanted to share with you a new product that I’m very excited about!

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Ruffwear’s new Front Range Harness is great for everyday wear, and a snap to put on your dog.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It has an aluminum V-Ring on the back for easy leash attachment, I also use mine in the car and it easily attaches to my seatbelt.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It also comes with a reinforced webbing attachment on the front so you can attach a leash there for additional control or training.

Mom and Dad also liked how there was padding underneath the buckles in the back, which makes it quick and easy to put my harness on without the risk of the buckles pinching my skin.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Another cool feature is the hidden ID pocket. Inside the little flap that says ID is a tether so you can attach your dog’s identification, then neatly tuck it into the pocket. It’s great for the hiking trail so you don’t have to worry about your dog’s tags getting caught on things.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

And for the sake of never having enough ways to keep your dog safe, the inside of the harness also has a handy tag that you can write your dog’s name and phone number on, should they ever get lost (or should you ever loose your super cool new harness).

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Ruffwear Front Range Harness comes in 4 fun colors – Pacific Blue (which I’m wearing), Twilight Gray, Alpenglow Pink, and Campfire Orange.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

If you follow me on Facebook, you may have already noticed that I’ve been wearing my Front Range Harness for all of my most recent adventures! It’s quickly become my favorite go – to walking harness.

And even though typically I prefer a harness that doesn’t go between my front legs, this one doesn’t seem to incumber the way I walk and I actually quite enjoy wearing it.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But wether I’m hiking the trails, or taking a stroll through town it’s comfortable enough to wear everywhere I go!

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You can fetch your own Front Range Harness from Ruffwear for $39.95 in a variety of sizes for big and small dogs.

Lasso Rope Collar Review & Giveaway

Lasso Ropes Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at Lasso recently sent me one of their fun rope collars, the Jib Petit. (to which I immediately attached one of my Pod ID tags – because one should never go without identification!)

Inspired by the sea, Lasso makes wonderful nautical collars, leashes, and even harnesses for all sea-dogs (or even non-sea dogs that just want to look super cool).

Lasso Ropes Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With lots of rope styles, colors, and sizes there is something to fit every dog’s need.

Of course as soon as I received my Lasso Collar I did what any dog with a nautical rope collar does……I strapped on my life vest and headed for the lake!

Even the boat rental crew at the lake commented on how appropriately dressed I was in my nautical collar! It held up well to all my water-time adventures and the size was perfect since all of the Lasso ropes are handmade!

Lasso Ropes Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

All of the Lasso products are made with brass fittings, which have great corrosive resistance, so I never have to worry about it looking less than stellar after my many summertime trips to the lake.

So if you are looking for some fun nautical rope accessories for your dog this summer (or even yourself since they sell a variety of human-friendly products too), I highly recommend you checkout Lasso!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Noodle and Friends.

If you have are owned by a dachshund then you know how hard it can be to find items to fit them. And even sometimes when you can find something that fits – it’s not always the most flattering of outfits. My friends, it doesn’t have to be so, because my pals at Noodle and Friends have just what you need.

Noodle and Friends makes functional and fashionable gear with little dachshund bodies in mind!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Sweet Noodle (and her friends) sent me over some of their super cute coats to try, and boy were they just what I needed to keep me nice and toasty this winter season.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

This Red Blizzard Parka with Thinsulate is the ultimate in doxie warmth. It’s got a waterproof and windproof outer layer as well as an internal layer of Thinsulate insulation.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the great things about these Noodle and Friends coats is that they are designed to completely cover and protect us dachshund’s sensitive underbellies. Nothing like running through the mud at the farm and keeping your tummy nice and dry!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Speaking of the farm, I wasted no time in taking my new Blizzard Parka to the barn, mainly to show-off how stylish I looked to all my pony friends.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom says she likes the bright red color too, because now that it’s hunting season in Pennsylvania I have to make sure I stand out everywhere I go. (not that my dazzling good looks didn’t do that already).

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

I can’t wait to test this baby out in the snow this winter!

Red Blizzard Parka with Thinsulate

Features:
– Dachshund-specific length
– Broad coverage of the dachshund chest area
– Adjustable quick and easy velcro closures to ensure perfect fit
– D-ring and storm-flap covered, finished harness hole for easy and fast lead attachment
– Waterproof and windproof 2-ply Taslan nylon exterior
– Semi-permeable waterproof-breathable membrane backing the Taslan absorbs and evaporates away any internal moisture
– 150 gram high-loft Thinsulate insulation layer
– Water-resistant microfleece lining
– Lined functional pockets with easy velcro closures
– Decorative buttons and topstitch finishing detail

I also took for a spin this Reversible Peacoat in navy blue. I felt like I was ready for the open seas (if I only had a ship) with this trendy jacket, the buttons even featured cute little anchors on them!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

This 100% wool peacoat was super warm as well, and I’ve been having fun wearing it to work since it’s a little dressy for the farm!

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

One of my absolute favorite things about the Noodle and Friends coats is that they all have extra strong d-rings sewn into the jackets. You have no idea how nice it is to not have to put on a harness UNDER your coat. But should you choose, there is also a hole to hook a leash to your harness as well if you still want to wear one.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Another fun feature is their coats include pockets that are actually functional. You can store extra dog bags, cookies, or if you are super cool like me……you can carry around your own business cards.

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

The Noodle and Friends Peacoat is also reversible, so you can get two looks for the price of one!

Peacoat – Reversible

Features:
– Dachshund-perfect length
– Broad coverage of the dachshund chest area
– Adjustable quick and easy velcro closures to ensure perfect fit
– Two-coats-in-one reversible design
– D-ring and finished harness hole for easy and fast lead attachment
– Warm 100% wool exterior
– Water-resistant microfleece lining
– Lined functional pockets with easy velcro closures
– Decorative buttons and topstitch finishing detail

Trendy Coats to Keep your Dachshund Warm // Noodle & Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Noodle also sent me a fun little squeaky toy, which I had a blast annoying mom and dad with. BEST DAY EVER. 🙂

The only thing extra I wish these coats had was a label sewn into the coat with washing instructions (although they do come with instructions in the packaging) – mostly because my mom is super forgetful and tends to ruin clothing when she throws all my stinky barn wear into the wash. So make sure you mind the washing instructions for these coats, as some of them may need to be hand washed!

So if you’re looking for something extra special to keep your dachshunds warm in this winter, make sure you check out Noodle and Friends. Their coats come in a variety of sizes (I am wearing size medium, and I weigh about 17 lbs), and are lovingly made in the USA.

Which coat is your favorite?

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

Have you heard of Mattie & Margot? If not, then you are missing out my friend. Makers of stylish handmade dog collars, Mattie & Margot carry every color under the sun, and they’re just what I needed to brighten up my summer!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I purchased one of Mattie & Margot’s Mystery Collars (in yellow) and received this sunny Yellow Gold collar – isn’t it happy? With their Mystery Collars you can choose a color range for $16 or let it be a total surprise for $12 – what a great deal!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

And because Rachael (the expert sewing machine operator behind Mattie & Margot) knew that us farm dogs always need a back-up collar, she sent along this snazzy Bluebird/Navy Collar too.

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m still not sure which one I will stink up first on the farm, it’s a tough call.

I was looking so fine in my new collars that my kitty pal Spider got a little jealous. Too bad for her they don’t come in kitty sizes!

But for all you canines out there, I’m sure there’s a Mattie & Margot Collar just for you, they even come in a new miniature size! Which one would you choose?
