Amazon Basic

Raised Bed

The raised dog bed from Amazon is not only a comfortable and healthy resting spot for your furry companion, but it can also be a useful tool in dog training. By providing your dog with a designated space to relax and call their own, you can help establish positive associations with that area. This is particularly helpful for dogs that struggle with anxiety or fear, as having a designated "safe space" can make them feel more secure and comfortable. Furthermore, the raised design of the bed keeps your dog off the ground, which can help with air circulation and prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria. By making the raised bed a positive and safe environment, you can enhance your dog's overall training and create a happier, healthier living space for them. This bed comes in multiple sizes.

Herms Sprenger Prong Collar

The Herm Sprenger Prong Collar is a highly effective tool for dog training when it is sized, fitted, and used properly. When used correctly, the prong collar distributes pressure evenly around a dog's neck, which can help to discourage pulling, jumping, and other unwanted behaviors. This collar is also designed to provide quick and clear communication to dogs, allowing them to understand what behaviors are expected of them. It is important to note, however, that prong collars should only be used under the guidance of a professional dog trainer and that the collar must be properly sized and fitted to ensure that it is safe and comfortable for the dog to wear. When used correctly, the Herm Sprenger Prong Collar can be an incredibly useful tool for dog training, helping to establish clear communication and promote positive behavior in dogs.

After your 1:1 session, your trainer will advise you on size and proper fit.

LickiMat

 

I highly recommend this to entertain your dogs but also to use for dogs with separation anxiety, dogs that are bored, or crate training. Personally, I put yogurt on the mat and then freeze it!

Tumble Treat Ball

 

I love making my dog, and the dogs that I train work for their food. Plus, this is a simple way to get your dog thinking and moving around. A tired dog is good, but a mentally tired dog is better.

PET CORRECTOR

Sometimes it helps to have a can of compressed air to help get your dog's attention if they ignore your negative marker such as "shh" "Ahah" or "No" to get your dog's attention.

RundA

Snuffle Mat

The Runda snuffle mat is a fantastic tool for dog training and enrichment, providing several benefits for both dogs and their owners. One of the main advantages of using a snuffle mat is that it can help to promote mental stimulation and reduce boredom in dogs. By hiding treats or kibble within the mat's soft and durable fibers, dogs are encouraged to use their sense of smell and problem-solving skills to find their reward. This can be especially helpful for dogs that struggle with anxiety or hyperactivity, as it provides a calming and engaging activity. Additionally, using a snuffle mat during training can help to build focus and obedience in dogs, as they learn to follow commands and work towards a reward. The Runda snuffle mat is also easy to clean and can be used both indoors and outdoors, making it a versatile and convenient tool for dog owners. Overall, the Runda snuffle mat is a great investment for any pet owner looking to provide their furry companion with a fun and stimulating activity that can help to promote mental and emotional well-being.

Chicken Liver

While I always recommend using your own kibble to train some dogs are picky and sometimes you need just something extra. I love the Chicken liver because it's easy to break apart and unlike the breast pieces it doesn't get too messy.
