Hello all. First off, lovely site. I've been searching and reading it for days now, but have yet to come up with what I'm looking for. My son and I just recently got a new Rottweiler puppy and I was telling him about a red laser pointer I had long ago when I had my first Rottie, and how much fun we had with it. I've probably still got it somewhere, but last I checked, it didn't work (we're talking 15 years or more when I bought it for a decent chunk of change). I never tormented my dog with it or anything, just had the occasional fun when outside somewhere she could be unleashed and run wild. Anyhow, I never would have thought about getting a laser pointer just for this dog. The story about the old laser pointer came up with my son though when we were trying to teach her to walk on a leash. She just wants to hang out in everyone's yard like she's at home, and doesn't quite grasp the concept of moving forward. I thought, if i had my laser pointer, it would get her attention to the path ahead of us (when needed) and I'd like to incorporate it into her training. The problem is, as you all know, the market is FLOODED with super cheap Chinese laser pointers. Amazon (my go-to) is strangely barren of them, while eBay is swarmed! This forum (thankfully) warned me about all of that, and I now don't know the good from bad (in my price range). Those are the first 2 sites I think of when looking for cheap and free shipping (cheaper lol).
As I said, I've read A LOT of posts here. I've seen this question sooooo many times, but haven't come across anything...mostly due to the posts being too old and the links no longer working. I HAVE learned a lot though (thank you all). I had already ordered an SDLaser 301 (Green) not long after reading about it on here. Unfortunately, the more I read, the more I realize that's not very good for what I want it for. I guess daddy's got a new toy that we can talk about on the forums in the future. Not only have I spent hours upon hours scouring these boards, but I've spent even more time searching the internet for a decent laser pointer that doesn't cost a fortune as I'll need more than one.
I come to you for help. I don't care the color of laser, red or green. I'm thinking red for safety and cost, but would go with another green one if it fit what I'm looking for better. I'm trying to order online, so unless you know of a perfect one at a national store, it's not really an option (I hate shopping and order pretty much everything but groceries online). I'd like a keychain type to hang on my lanyard with a dog whistle and clicker. These things are easy to find on eBay for super cheap nowadays, but thanks to this forum, I now know better. I don't really care about (or really want) an LED flashlight combo. Something simple, I just need the laser to emit a point (like my old one) or a beam...no fancy designs, light patterns or anything. Something somewhat durable and reliable. I was hoping to stay in the $5-$10 range. Cheap, I know, but I need multiple plus I've already dished out money on that other green laser...not to mention I'm now possibly spoiled by the cheap prices I've seen everywhere.
Mainly however, I'm in need of a laser pointer that is as safe to use with my pup as it can be. I know, they're not ideal to use with pets. Again, it's not so much for play as it is for training. I'm training this pup a lot of different things using various techniques...at the same time...using several tools/methods. I'm in Florida, and these dog walks have me pouring sweat as it is...then I have to carry this heavy pup half the way home uuuugh.
So, I've come across a couple that I'll link to that seem perfect to give you an idea of what I'm looking for (looks/feature-wise, I don't know if they're any better than the Chinese garbage on eBay), but didn't/couldn't purchase due to various reasons like sellers not having enough stock or are overpriced, the companies being wholesalers, etc.
So, all of that said, does anybody here know of a keychain laser pointer out there similar to the ones in the links that fit my needs? Your help is greatly appreciated.
