Training Products for Puppies & Adults:
- Martingale collars give you the safety of knowing your dog can’t slip out of the collar, the conveince of being able to slip the collar on your dog with the leash attached if you choose to and it works similar to the outdated choke chain collar without the risks.
- Thicker Martingale collar , better for the larger stronger dog. Keeps the pressure evenly distributed rather than localized to one area, making less likely to cause damage and more likely for your powerful pup to actually know its there.
Downtown Pet Supply Deluxe Adjustable Thick Comfort Padded Dog Collar, Large, Blue
- Regular flat buckle collar because no matter what method you choose to walk your dog on, you should always have their tags attached to them when you go out.
- Flat buckle collar for the large and powerful dog.
PetSafe Nylon Leash, 3/8″ x 6′, Black – LSH-3/8-X-6-BLK
- Thin leash for the use of the smaller breeds of dogs
- Two handled or city control leads are an excellent choice for a large dog. It gives you the extra control you need to break the wrapping leashes around your hand habit.
Company of Animals – Halti Headcollar, Black, Size 2
- The Halti Head Collar while quick fixes aren’t ideal and I would prefer a dog learn a genuine heel or at least loose leash walk. Realistically I’ve met a ton of clients who just can not accomplish this own their own. The Halti gives these people that peice of mind to enjoy their walks. It also has a safety strap, unlike its competitor, to attach directly to your dogs collar. It also is not as bothersome as some headcollars on the market.
- The vest harness I prefer because its simple to put on, prevents pressure on the neck (should you choose to use it for walking), and my favorite part is that there is a spot for a cutomized patch to be applied. You can do their names or my personal favorite, “In Training” which makes people ask permission prior to petting allowing you to make each interaction a proper interaction.
- Treat bags come in many different styles , this happens to check most the boxes. Can be clipped to the waist, wrapped around waist or hung on shoulder. It also happens to include pockets for items and a poop bag dispenser. Along with a water bowl and clicker.
