Sherpa Travel Original Deluxe Airline Approved Pet Carrier
"We go down to invitationals in Orlando, so these things are fantastic. They’re easy to pop underneath the airplane and they’re very sturdy. I’ve used them for years and trained the dogs to get in it on their own."
MidWest iCrate Collapsible Wire Dog Crate
"This is the crate I use every weekend when we're in trials, and it’s just a great bargain. It folds flat in your trunk, and it’s easy to put up and down. The two of them go in the same crate, and they’re so cute in there together."
Amazon Basics Scented Dog Poop Bags
"We get the lavender scented ones, but these are nice to have on hand when you’re out and about. They claim to be biodegradable, and they’re a great bargain. That one pack lasts me for over a year."

KONG Wubba Dog Tug of War and Fetch Toy
"The training toy I use the most is that Wubba. It has a squeaker, and it’s easy to throw. What’s nice about it is they can pick it up from either end and both of the dogs love to tug. It’s a great tug toy to reward behavior."
GoDog Wildlife Rabbit Large Toy with Chew Guard
"These dogs will tear through anything, but with the GoDog brand, I found that they last a long time. They’ll pull all the stuffing out, so it looks like Christmas in July sometimes, but the fabric will last forever."
West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Treat Dispensing Dog Chew Toy
"I’ll put in raw beef into this West Paw toy and put it into the freezer, and then it’s just like a bone and they’ll chew on that for 15, 20 minutes. But they love that. It’s very durable and safe."
DogsWell Vitality 100% Meat Jerky Dog Treats
"I love this jerky. What’s nice about those is you can put a stick in your pocket and then snap one off. It’s very convenient and if you have a small dog you can snap off little pieces if you have a big dog you can give them a bigger piece. They love it for rewards."
PetSafe Manners Minder Treat & Train
"We’ll use this a lot for distance training. Scout loves to be right next to you, but I really had to work to get him to go out on his own. The Treat and Train is good for rewarding when they're away from you."
Fairwin Leather Dog Leash
"This leash comes a little bit stiff, but once you break it in, it's great. They’re very durable, you can wipe them clean, and they’re easy in your hand. As they wear, they’re very pliable so you can wrap it up in your hands for training. When you’re doing obedience stuff, it’s good to be able to quickly shorten the leash."
Best Friends by Sheri The Original Calming Donut Dog Bed
"They love that donut dog bed. I have one in my office, and we have halters in the car so we put one in the back seat for them. They just love those things. We had one for each of them, but they usually hop in the same one. They scratch around it to puff it, up and it’s super lightweight and easy to clean."
PetSafe CozyUp Folding Pet Steps
"They sleep in our bed and for Pip, she can’t jump up and it’s not good to have your dog up and down. So, they use those stairs to get up and down into our beds. It's great and folds flat if you need to take it to another room. Plus, it's plastic if you need to wipe it down, and it’s at a good price point."
PetSafe Drinkwell Pet Fountains
"They love this drinking fountain. It’s actually a calming thing in our kitchen, too, because of the sound of running water. It keeps the water clean, and it has a carbon filter in it. We used to have a big water bowl and the top of it would occasionally look filmy, so this keeps it fresh."
