Products I Love

Tested and Approved

As a dog trainer, I use a lot of different products working with dogs.  I've learned what works well and what doesn't work.  Everything I refer people to in sessions can be found here. These  are links to some of my favorite products on Amazon. If I refer to something in a session, you can find those products here.

Mini Educator E-collar Technologies

We are a proud dealer of E-Collar Technologies. These training collars are high quality, with gentle stimulus. We utilize e-collars to give dogs off leash freedom as a way to help your dog check in with you. 

Black Biothane Long Line

Biothane feels like leather but its washable, waterproof, and strong. I use a 15' Long line in my training sessions.

Leather dog leash

I LOVE these leashes.  Nothing feels as good in your hands as a leather leash. These are hand made by Amish craftsman.

These are the cots I most frequently use in training. They are indoor/outdoor.

2.25 mm Herm Sprenger Prong Collar

These training collars are German made.  They are made to evenly distribute pressure around the dog's neck. They are the best quality training collars. 

Prong Collar Backup Clip

This is a backup measure to ensure your dog doesn't escape you if you have a flight risk or an untrained dog. Use for prong collars, harnesses, regular collars, or to back up your leash. 

Dominant Dog Collar

These are recommended for any do that is a fight risk or a danger to humans or other dogs. I also prefer them for dogs that tend to lunge at things for more control.  

Turquoise Pet Ami Treat Pouch

This treat pouch is awesome.  It is big enough for a ball and treats. It has a zip pocket and a mesh pocket. It also has a place to hold your poop bags. It comes in a variety of colors to add to your happiness. 

Yellow Foam ball dog toy with rope

I love these balls. They add safety and are less rolly with a rope on the ball so they are good for training. Great for any do that likes a good tug or fetch game.

Green Doog Shoulder Bag

This is a great training pouch that has a side pocket, an inside pocket for your phone, and it has a poop bag dispenser in the front. It comes in a variety of colors to match any style. 

Redline K-9 Jute Tug with two handles

This is a great tug toy for dogs with strong jaws or that are tough on toys. It is built solid and is a great option for those dogs that like stuffed toys but destroy them. 

Flirt Pole for Puppies

This is a great toy for energetic dogs to have something to chase. For all breeds and sizes of dogs. This is a great way to give your puppy mental stimulation and exercise, practice impulse control, or build your relationship. 

Lemberi Chew Proof Kennel

Some dogs need a sturdier kennel. I recommend one like this.  It's chew proof, escape proof. It has trays under the floor to catch drool etc...

Dog Mud Runner Rug

These mud rugs are amazing.  I use them all the time.  Machine washable.  I put one rug outside the door and one inside.  If they have muddy paws, I pour water on the outside rug to wash off their feet and the rug inside dries their feet.  Best investment when you have a lot of dogs in your home!

Midwest Homes Two Door Dog Crate

I highly recommend this type of crate with a double door for most dogs. Trust me, it will make your life easier! 

Vital Essentials Beef Mini Nibs

These are the training treats I use in my training studio. They do come in a variety of proteins. Single protein and Mixed Tocopherals (Vitamin E) are the only ingredients. They are great for dogs with allergies.

Chuckit Ball Launcher

This is a great way to exercise your high energy dog. It allows you to throw your ball insanely farther than you would be able to. Be sure to get the rubber chuck it balls for extra durability. Their squeaky rubber balls are pretty tough too. 

Orange chuckit balls

These are very durable and long lasting. My dogs killed tennis balls so fast. These last infinitely longer and they float too.

Blue Chuckit squeaker balls

If you have a dog that likes the squeak, these are very tough squeaker balls. Long Lasting, float, and durable.

Red Classic Kong Dog Toy

Stuffable, fetchable, freezable, dishwasher safe, and quite possibly one of the biggest "must have" toys for any dog owner.

Black Kong Extreme Dog Toy

Like the Red Kong, but tougher. Built to survive the toughest chewers. Stuff it, freeze it, throw it, put it in the dishwasher, it's a must have for any home with a tough chewer.

Baskerville Ultra Muzzle

I prefer to use these muzzles. They are not 100% bite proof but it does allow the dog to eat, drink, and pant. It also prevents the dog from doing severe damage. Make sure you fit it so your dog can pant naturally. You may have to wrap the bridge of the muzzle that goes over the nose with a soft material such as felt if it rubs. 

Millers Forge Stainless Steel Nail clipper for Dogs

These are the best nail trimmers! Super sharp and stay sharp.  I've trimmed millions of dog nails. These are the best.  They don't work on super huge nails like great danes, but pretty much everyone else they work great for. 

Musher's Secret Paw Wax

This is a must have for Northern Dogs. It helps protect against the salt on sidewalks. Great stuff for protecting your dogs paw pads.

Anti Anxiety Donut Cuddler Bed

Dogs love to snuggle and feel safe. This bed lets them cozy up into something and helps relieve anxiety. It's a great investment for dogs that love to snuggle into their bed.

Quck Snap Herm Sprenger Prong Collar 2.25mm

These quick snap prong collars are nice if you don't have the finger strength for the normal prong collars. They don't give pressure as well as the typical herm sprenger but they are a nice option. 

Tropiclean 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner

This is a great option for your dog baths. It is gentle on their skin and coat and doesn't strip the coat of it's natural oils. I used to groom dogs at the vet clinic I worked at and this is by far my favorite.

Bite Wedge

These are great for dogs who love to to bitey things! Very durable and tons of fun! It has protected handles to protect your hands. Great for a good tug game and teaching "out".  Also a good precursor to using a sleeve for bite work. 

Micro Prong Collar

These are an awesome option for small and toy sized dogs that just need some extra help.  They take the extra pressure off the neck and evenly distributes it around. Very good quality. I've purchased a few of these over the years and have always been happy with them. 

Bite Rag Puppy Toy

This is a great starter tug for puppies.  It's soft on their developing teeth and a great way to build engagement or play drive. Attach it to a flirt pole or tie a leash to it and drag it for extra fun. 

Comfort pad long hair wings e-collar Technologies

This is a comfort pad for e-collar Technologies ET-300 Mini Educator. They get better and more consistent contact through long, thick fur than the normal contact points that come with the collar. The dog is also able to wear the collar for longer periods of time without it needing to be rotated. 

Fleece tug dog toy

For dogs that struggle with playing, having a toy with animal skin on it can help develop that toy drive. These are pretty awesome toys. Like many of these toys, I would not recommend leaving them down unattended. 

Comfort pad short hair wings e-collar Technologies

This is a comfort pad for e-collar Technologies ET-300 Mini Educator. They get better and more consistent contact through short fur than the normal contact points that come with the collar. The dog is also able to wear the collar for longer periods of time without it needing to be so rotated.
