Treats
- Jiminy’s Cricket Treats for dogs – My secret ‘high-value’ treats. Many of these are made from crickets!
- Tricky Trainers – wide variety of options!
Leashes & Harnesses
- Harnesses
- PetSafe’s 3-in-1 Dog Harness – my personal favorite harness. Cheap, makes a HUGE difference in pullers with its chest-clip.
- Blue-9’s Balance Harness – pricier, well-known for its customization in fitting
- PetSafe’s Gentle Leader – head halters provide the most powerful form of leash control, however they can take longer to acclimate for dogs
- Leashes
- Partial-bungee leashes – I really like partial bungee leashes. They provide a little more freedom for sniffing while also providing gradual leash-tension-feedback. (not recommended for hard-pullers)
- Waist-leashes – being able to walk with both of your hands free is a blessing.
- Long-lines – leashes that are 20-50+ feet are fantastic ways to safely train recalls, impulse-control, and general retention
Enrichment
- [searching just “enrichment” pulls up thousands of ideas!]
- Kongs – FREEZE these after stuffing them. I recommend soaking your dog’s kibble in water, then packing these. Can turn a regular meal into a 45-min activity.
- Snuffle-Mats – simulate scavenging through grass. Fantastic form of enrichment
- Lick-mats – very cheap and easy way to keep dogs busy, freeze them!
- Snuffle-balls – I love snuffle-balls, basically loofahs! super easy to set up and wash!
- Jolly Egg – great toy for dogs that like herding. They push the egg around continuously.
- ‘Puzzle’ Slow-Feeder Bowl – My favorite slow feeder includes multiple layers and functions. I love how effective it is and how easy it is to clean.
Gadgets
- No Drip Water Bowls – Tons of water bowls for sloppy drinkers
