Clickers

Clicker training is the most precise method of communicating to your pet that they have performed a behavior that you like for which they will be rewarded with something they love, making the chances of that behavior being repeated much more likely. Using clickers to train pets helps build a strong bond and relationship with them. Just click & treat for the behaviors you like and your pet will offer the behaviors more often!

Balance Harness

Want a dog harness that stops the pulling and actually fits? Six-point adjustment for the ultimate comfort, freedom and control, and ensures your dog has the proper fit for comfort, safety and range of movement. Looking for a no-pull harness that doesn’t cause chaffing, choking, or restriction – you’ve found the one.

Harness for Tiny Dogs

The Choke Free harness is the best harness for dogs under 20 lbs. Although the Choke Free Harness is not a training harness, it is made specifically for smaller breeds to prevent choking, coughing, gagging and takes the pressure off the neck.

Freedom No-Pull Harness

This is the harness I recommend to walk dogs of all sizes. The Freedom Harness has both a front clip and a back clip with a leash that attaches to both clips for greater control and leverage with dogs that are pullers. The back clip is attached to a martingale loop which tightens the harness around the dog’s rib cage when it gets to the end of the leash, providing feedback that it has gone too far from the handler. Along with the proper training, this harness helps teach dogs not to pull. It comes in many great colors and sizes and is adjustable at every strap.

Pet Tutor

The Pet Tutor is a great training tool with features such as the bark mode which releases food when the dog stops barking to help teach your dog to be quiet, and a tilt mode that can be used in a feeder toy that the dog engages with to act as an enrichment activity to help stimulate your dog’s mind and body.

Positive Techniques Training Book

One of my favorite books on dog training – “The Power of Positive Dog Training” by Pat Miller

“Meet Your Dog” Book

Meet Your Dog is the first, long-overdue step in reinventing it. Award-winning certified canine behavior consultant Kim Brophey introduces a comprehensive framework known as L.E.G.S (Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self) to explain all four aspects of a dog’s behavior.

“The Culture Clash” Book

The most thought provoking book ever written on dog behavior and training. Generations of dogs have been labeled training-lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Numerous other completely and utterly normal dogs have been branded as canine misfits simply because they grew up to act like dogs. Barking, chewing, sniffing, licking, jumping up and occasionally, (just like people), having arguments, is as normal and natural for dogs as wagging tails and burying bones.

"Doggie Language" Book

Dogs communicate with so much more than barks and tail wags, and misreading doggie body language makes life challenging for dogs and their humans.

This small but mighty book is your perfect illustrated guide to seeing and understanding the subtle visual cues used by your beloved pup to express how they’re feeling in different situations.

"Ruff Love" Book

In Ruff Love, Susan Garrett shares her incredibly successful relationship-building program. Based on her years of experience working with dogs, the Ruff Love program is designed not only to help people dealing with “problem” dogs, but to help agility, flyball, obedience, and other dog sport handlers build a better working relationship with their current competition dog or their next performance prospect.
