Leashes
Whether you're teaching your puppy how to heel appropriately or using the leash as a safety mechanism, a sturdy leash will be essential during your training adventures. Through rain, or shine, heavy chewing, or play time - it’s important to select a leash that’s comfortable for your pup.
Collars
To pair well with a durable leash, a comfortable collar can be extremely beneficial during training. Make sure your collar has updated tags and doesn’t restrict your dog. If your dog is comfortable and feels good, it’s likely the session will be more successful.
Clickers
A clicker is a helpful training tool that acts as a communicative device and aid in positive reinforcement. When a treat or reward is paired with a clicker, it can help speed up the training process. Here you’ll find a variety of clickers to choose from.
Treats
Positive reinforcement tools are very important to help praise your dog. While you definitely want to make sure that you’re not impacting your dog’s diet, these training treats are great for daily routines and teaching your puppy tricks.
Treat Bag Sets
Not a necessity but certainly nice to have, a treat bag will make it easier to extend your training sessions. Whether it be at home, in your yard, or out and about - treat bags carry your treats with ease and eliminate the odor that comes with digging into your dog’s plastic treat bag from the store.
Training Books
Need tips to teach your puppy tricks? A training book that outlines effective ways to train your puppy can help to solidify successful training without regression. Here you'll find a variety of books that cover topics like training, tricks, and long-term routines.
Chewable Toys
A durable chew toy can help act as a reward when your puppy successfully performs their tricks after a quick training session. Setting time aside where your dog can feel mentally stimulated while chewing helps to reset their ability to focus attention on the training process.
Harnesses
A harness can help teach your puppy how to walk comfortably and can alleviate the stress of a tangled leash. Here, you’ll find a variety from reflective harnesses to no-pull harnesses that can result in training success.
Cameras
If you’re looking to see how your puppy is holding up at home when you’re away running errands, a camera is the right splurge for you. Not a necessity but great to have to reward with treats or playtime when you arrive home - and if your pup reenacts positive training.
Orthopedic Bed
An orthopedic bed for your dog can help alleviate joint pain, encourage relaxation, and may result in better rest. If your dog is well-rested, you could potentially have more of a successful training session.
Gates
A gate can teach your puppy which areas of the house are off-limits and which areas act as a training oasis. It may be beneficial to set up an area of the house that separates training and play. Here you’ll find a variety of splurges that you’re sure to love.
Crates
A crate is essential for basic puppy training but can be helpful for tricks training as well. Rest and comfort are essential for a puppy's overall well-being and ability to learn.
