Buckle Collar

Veterinarian's Review: This collar is extremely strong and will stand up to even the strongest pets.

4ft Leather Leash

Latigo leads are made from full, top grain leather distinguished by natural markings. Range marks, insect bites, and fat wrinkles give each product it's own unique character. Because of it's strength and exceptional durability, Latigo leather has been used for all purpose and training leads. Expertly sewn and crafted to be both durable and fashionable.

Long Line 15' - 30'

  • An essential training tool.
  • Allows you to teach your dog recalls.
  • The best long line available.

 

Easy Walk Harness

The Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. The Easy Walk Harness is simple to use and easy to fit. Your dog will love it as much as you will! Unlike a collar, the Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area. Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the "opposition reflex". That's the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness redirects the pressure through the front leash attachment. And, the patent pending martingale closure tightens slightly across the chest and shoulder blades when your dog attempts to pull forward. Measure your dog around the rib cage to determine proper fit. 12"-16" Girth = Petite (Teacup breeds), 15"-20" Girth = Small (Jack Russels, Shelties, etc.), 20"-28" Girth = Medium (Border Collies, Spaniels, etc.), 26"-36" Girth = Large (Labs, Goldens, Rotties, etc.). 34"-46" Girth = X-Large (Giant breeds). 'TWEENER SIZES ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Does your dog fall in between 2 sizes? Check out our "in-between" sizes for that perfect fit! 14"-18" = Petite/Small, 18"-24" = Small/Medium and 22.5"-34" = Medium/Large.

Check Choke Training Collar

This combo collar combines the safety of a collar with the control of a choke. The collar allows you to prevent your dog from slipping the collar when startled or during training. When the coke feature is not used. The collar acts like a loose collar.

Treat Pouch

  • Classic Black Bait Bag
  • Extra Pocket to store your things.
  • Well constructed and durable.

 

Silent Whistle

SILENT WHISTLE THAT HUMANS CAN BARELY HEAR BUT YOUR DOG CAN. The most reliable safety devise available.

The Kong

The #1 recommended chew toy in the world! The Kong comes in all sizes and should be stuffed with food (I like a little meat or cheese followed by bread to jam it in there!). If stuffed properly, the dog will work on this for 30-60 minutes or more! An excellent interactive toy that provides stimulation for dogs that are bored and can help separation anxiety by occupying the dog's time when you are gone. Also, daily chewers of the Kong report that their teeth are immaculate (the rubber scrapes away plaque as they chew).

Buster Cube

This puzzle/toy can keep energetic dogs busy for hours. The dog rolls the cube around with his nose and if he rolls it right, treats fall out! Good for "needy" dogs that seem to overburden you for attention. Also helps with separation anxiety.

Galileo

The Galileo is the strongest chew toy there is (that I know of, anyway). Recommended for the toughest of chewers.

Snappy Trainer

A modified mousetrap that safely keeps dogs away from the furniture, the garbage, potted plants, etc. An amazingly simple, and extremely effective device -- I wish that I invented it!

The Knot

The Knot, by the Nylabone company, is an extra-tough chew toy, one of Asia's favorites! She chews on this toy every night and has yet to chew it up! A little pricey, but well worth it for dogs that love to chew.

Nylabone Chews

Choose from a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Not as durable as "The Knot," this toy is not recommended for voracious chewers.

Rope Toys

Great for tug-of-war (either with you or another dog!). Please keep in mind that tug-of-war is not recommended for dogs with dominance issues.

Tennis Balls

The greatest game in the world -- Fetch! Many dogs are natural retrievers and catch on quickly to the game. You can incorporate training into this game by making the dog "sit" before throwing and "drop it" before continuing play.
