Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

As a dog, I’ve always taken home security very seriously. Parked on my perch, I spend my day defending my fortress from anything out of the ordinary. It’s an exhausting job, but apparently I’m the only one willing to do it!

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Until I was introduced to Kidde RemoteLync that is! The RemoteLync Monitor and the RemoteLync Camera pictured above are my new friends in making sure my home is safe and secure.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

The RemoteLync Monitor is a smart home device that will listen for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home and send an alert to your smart phone if a problem arises. (even I can’t do that!)

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

The RemoteLync Camera is a battery operated, cordless camera that alerts you via smartphone when motion is detected in your home.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Together with the free Kidde RemoteLync App, there really isn’t much left for me to do except…

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

…be a dog again! (AKA park myself on the couch and watch cartoons!)

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

See with the touch of a button mom and dad can arm and disarm my house via their phones so that the RemoteLync can start listening for any smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors that go off, and watch for any intruders that might enter my home. You can even set it to arm & disarm automatically when you come and go from your home via GPS.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Mom loves that she can even arm it when I’m left home alone, and feels safer knowing should there ever be a fire she’d be notified right away so I’m not in danger. The camera can even be set to ignore pet movements, so she’s only told if something out of the ordinary happens at home. (I guess I won’t be having any secret parties anytime soon).

Checkout these videos from Kidde on how the RemoteLync System works:

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

You guys had so much fun seeing me “caught on camera” last month that I’m back with another installment! You may remember that the Vimtag Wireless Video Monitor System showed up at my house a month or so ago. Well, ever since it’s arrival I’ve found myself getting into a little more trouble than usual.

Since the Vimtag camera lets my parents check up on me 24/7 via their smartphones I pretty much can’t get away with anything anymore. And I was really hoping they wouldn’t find out about a few things…

Naught Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag + A Giveaway

Until the Vimtag camera came along mom and dad had no idea that I like to get a little “frisky” with a certain someone’s pillow when they are gone. (sorry dad, I thought you’d never see this!).

Naught Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag + A Giveaway

I mean, do you really blame me, magazines are way more fun to play with than dog toys!

It’s really hard to deny these little indiscretions when mom had physical proof in the form of timestamped pictures from Vimtag….

Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway are brought to you by Bark Solution. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

I am a Dachshund. And being a Dachshund means that I do have one distinct trait (ok aside from being short) that makes me like all the other Dachshunds out there…..I like to bark. Not just an occasional alert bark to let you know someone is at the door, more like I could sit and bark out the window for a good solid hour at the same thing.

Does your dog like to do this too? Yeah, it’s pretty fun right?

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Well apparently I’ve been informed that the humans don’t really like all that barking. (shocker right?) Sometimes when I’m barking the humans like to join in too by yelling at me to stop. But did you know that when you do this I just think you’re barking with me, which reinforces that I’m doing a good job and we should definitely be barking at something!

Recently my parents were introduced to a new product called Bark Solution that’s supposed to help the humans in telling us dogs that it’s not really appropriate to be barking.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Now I’d never enforce a product on my blog that was ever cruel or inhumane to animals, which lets face it, a lot of those “barking solutions” out there are just that (shock collars, sprays, etc), but Bark Solution is none of those things.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Bark Solution is simply a metal can filled with things that make a loud racket. So all you have to do when your dog is barking (and you don’t want them to be) is shake the can to interrupt their barking pattern.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Now us dogs, we’re designed to protect the humans (goodness knows they aren’t very good at protecting themselves), so the Bark Solution isn’t going to stop your dog from barking all together. But I did notice that when my parents shook it, it would distract me enough that eventually I sort of forgot what I was barking at all together.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

*A helpful tip my parents found was that if they sort of snuck up on me with the Bark Solution it worked quicker in interrupting my barking pattern.

So if you’re looking for a way to humanely cut down on the amount of barking your dog does (without having to use harsh products or spending your day yelling at your dog), then you might want to check out Bark Solution.

My parents loved that it kept them from having to yell at me to stop barking all day, and lets face it, that doesn’t really work anyway.

You can also purchase this product on Amazon.

And P.S. isn’t the super fun retro packaging so cool too!

Now for the best part….

A Wireless Camera to Help Train Your Pet

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Vimtag. All opinions are my own, and I only share products that I think you and your pets will love.

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

A few months ago I did something very bad. I know, it’s so out of character for me seeing as how I’m always on my best behavior (at least that’s what I tell everyone). In my defense though, I didn’t really feel like being left home alone with Trooper at his house.

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

I began to regret my unfortunate decision to leave my “mark” on Trooper’s brand-new door when mom announced that I would have to stay in my crate whenever I am left alone at my buddy’s house.

The crate?? But don’t they know how much I HATE being left in that thing!

So thus began the adventure of my mom conditioning me to enjoy (as much as one can) being in my crate at Trooper’s house.

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

You may remember a few weeks ago I introduced you to a new Wireless Camera that mom and dad used to keep an eye on me when they were away from home. Well the Vimtag Camera began to play an important role in my crate training as well.

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

After setting me up in my crate with a fun toy filled with peanut butter, mom would set up the Vimtag Camera before heading out the door.

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

With the ability to view my every move from the Vimtag Wireless App, mom would head out the stable to watch my progress with my buddy Boomerang.

Starting with short sessions to being with, she’d leave me in a crate for 10 – 15 minutes at a time.

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

With the ability to not only see what I was doing, but also hear whether I was crying or barking too, mom was able to time coming back into the house to release me from my crate at a moment when I had actually calmed down and relaxed.

Thus the Vimtag Camera made it possible for her to only release me when I was in a calm state, rewarding me for being quiet and patient.

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

Thanks to Vimtag, I’m getting more and more comfortable with being in my crate at Trooper’s house. Mom says it’s been invaluable to my training, and made the process go so much quicker!

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

So when my mom and dad upgraded my kitchen this summer, they also upgraded the dining room table too.

(and yes, I know I STILL haven’t shared the “after” images of my DIY Kitchen remodel, but my dad still has some things he’s finishing up. And being a perfectionist, he wants me to share my beautiful kitchen when it’s COMPLETELY done!)

Being that it’s the month of family gatherings and holiday dinners, I thought my table could use a little something to festive it up.

So when I received a package from my friends over at Lupo & Olimp, I was thrilled to find something to not only dress up me….but my table too!

A Car Seat Cover to Keep Pet Hair Away + A Giveaway

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

My buddy Trooper recently got a new car. As in a sparkly, shiny, glistening new car that muddy paws, pet hair, and dog cookies were not allowed in!

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

That is until my friends at Ruffwear sent us one of their new Dirtbag Seat Covers, so us dirty dogs were finally allowed to ride in the new car!

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

The Ruffwear Dirtbag™ Seat Cover is a durable, waterproof cover that shields vehicle seats from the remnants of dog adventures.

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

It can be installed in a traditional or hammock configuration, and their non-slip fabric keeps your dogs from sliding around during the ride.

The great thing about the Dirtbag is that it maintains openings for seatbelts. So for dogs like Trooper and I who are always securely seat belted in during drives can still do so.

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

During our long road trip last week to South Carolina Trooper and I brought along the Dirtbag Seat Cover, and the humans were super thankful we did because my boy Trooper here is like the shedding king!

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

And when one of us (I’m not pointing fingers) rolled in something extra stinky, the Dirtbag kept the new car seats stink free until the cover could be popped into the wash.

Another cool feature is this handy pocket for storing leashes, bowls, or anything you may need. And when you’re done using the cover it can fold up and be stored inside the built-in zippered pocket.

A Seat Cover from Ruffwear to keep Pet Hair at Bay

Even our pal Cricket the Cat thought the cover looked mighty neat!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

Now if you thought my every move was documented on this blog, I’m about to take it to a whole new level thanks to my new friends over at Vimtag!

Vimtag is the creator of a Wireless Video Monitoring System that you can use to spy on your dog!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

My new little companion here can connect to your ethernet or wifi network and records HD video of anything you would like.

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

And I bet you can guess what my mom decided to record with my Vimtag….me! I am the star of this show after all.

So after a simple 4 step setup (mom didn’t even finish reading all the directions before she had it up and running), my Vimtag was ready to record some video.

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

From the Vimtag online portal mom can monitor what I’m doing in the other room, as well as have access to a whole slew of other features!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

But the absolute best part (for your mom and dad at least) is that the Vimtag goes mobile with the FREE Vimtag App! From here your video monitoring is totally on the go, with access to a live view of your pet whenever you’re away from them.

From the app you can even tilt and pan the camera, listen in to exactly what you pet is doing, record picture snap shots and video (for viewing later) and even TALK TO YOUR PET!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

You can also set up motion alerts for the camera, so if your pet enters the room (or maybe jumps on the bed if they aren’t supposed to) you can get a notification on your phone. With the addition of a mini sd card you can even set it up to auto-record when the camera detects movement. I guess my days of being sneaky while mom and dad are gone are over!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

So a few weeks ago mom and dad set up the Vimtag camera in the bedroom (where I tend to nap a lot) on a night they were headed out of the house without me.

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

Then my parents headed off to a local football game (can you believe they didn’t take me!), but checked on me several times throughout the night with the Vimtag mobile app. Even though it had gotten dark at home, the camera has night vision so they were still able to see what I was up to crystal clear.

Here’s a fun little playback of some of the video mom and dad saved from that evening…

Being that this is the first time ever mom and dad got to see what I did when they were away from home they noticed that I was on high alert to every little sound. So next time they said they’ll leave a TV on for me so some of the outside noise is drowned out. And when I heard them talk to me through the camera for the first time, boy did I cry! I may be a tough dog, but I always miss my mom and dad when they’re away. (P.S. don’t worry, they were only 5 minutes from home when they decided to test out the voice feature)

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

My mom and dad thought the Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera was a great way to give them peace of mind while they were away from me, and with a cost of $99, it’s a great price for adding several to your home – to capture anything you can imagine! (Hopefully they didn’t catch me trying to sneak onto the dining table the other night!) They even work for a whole slew of other things like Nanny Cam, Business Monitoring, Security, Vacation Home Monitoring, and Senior Monitoring.

You can snag your own Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera from Amazon! They’d make an awesome Christms gift too!
