We use a variety of training treats when we are training. You need to find which treats or food your dog will work for, and enjoy. Some dogs find different treats more motivating than others. Here are a few of our favorite treats. Please follow these links to purchase, and you will support our small business. Thank you! K9 Connosseur Dehydrated Beef Lung is ALWAYS a favorite, and is great for dogs with poultry allergies. There is only 1 ingredient - Beef Lung. amzn.to/4aSCFZo Raw Paws Pet Food's Freeze Dried Tripe is not only good for your pup, but most dogs find it a very motivating treat. amzn.to/3QqtabB Bocce's treats are some of our favorites as well. They are crunchy, so not for every training situation, but they have limited ingredients and dogs love them. They are easy to break up into small pieces, also. amzn.to/3WkRY We also love Stewart's freeze dried liver. amzn.to/3UfN8Hm There are also some fruit and vegetable options that our dogs love! These Banana Chips are Bananas! amzn.to/3wlSRTP These dehydrated apples make great treats! amzn.to/3y4CR9d These Carrot Pops have been very popular with the dogs training with us. amzn.to/49UjKMr Giving your dog a place to "chill out" or wait can help with a number of behaviors, like window barking, and being under your feet while you are cooking. Their "place" should have clear boundaries and be free of children, or other things that may disturb or bother the dog. Sounds like a knock on the door, a doorbell or a phone ringing can be taught as cues to go to the "place." A place board can be used inside or outside and can help keep your dog off of a hot or cold ground, or out of the mud.
Here are a few Place Boards we like. The Veehoo Chew Proof bed has an aluminum frame. Dogs who may chew the frame, couldn't damage this one. amzn.to/3UwW6QH Kuranda makes some pretty tough cots also. They are the leading manufacturer and one of our favorites. If you want one that will last. Kuranda makes some good ones! amzn.to/4aOh1Wf The Acrimet Cooling Bed is another great option! amzn.to/4aOh1Wf If you are on a budget, and you have a small to medium sized dog. This one is a great option! amzn.to/3UfaDAl We love books! We understand that sometimes you want to do some learning at home. Did you know we have a book club?

It is a great book for all puppy parents. amzn.to/3W4qNyV Steve Mann has another great puppy book! amzn.to/3JzfJ5a House Breaking Problems? Peggy O. Swager has a great book for that called Hard to Housetrain. amzn.to/4d98Q8n Here are some other great books! This is our current Book Club Book! The Do No Harm Dog Training Manual by Linda Michaels. amzn.to/3xN1LKu This is a great book for the more challenging dogs. When Pigs Fly by Jane Killion amzn.to/3xKvcgr Adolescent Dogs can be difficult. Sarah Whitehead has written a few really great books to help get through that stage. amzn.to/49PIN3l and amzn.to/3UcYtb5 We love Clicker Training! Emma Parsons has a great book called New Clicked to Calm amzn.to/3w31KSd Kathy Sdao is one of our favorite people. Her book Plenty in Life is Free is great! amzn.to/4d5JcBs Pat Miller is a leader in the positive training industry. SHe has MANY books and they are all fantastic. Here is one example we love. amzn.to/3WaFMaK Our dogs benefit greatly from enrichment. Some enrichment can be going out for a sniffy walk, eating a meal out of a different vessel, or finding treats hidden around the house.
There are some products that are great enrichment tools. 1. A snuffle mat. We sell snuffle mats at the training building. Medium are $20 and Large are $25. Here are some great Amazon products that can help with your dog's enrichment needs. Licky mats are a great way to distract your dog while you trim nails, or even while your dog has a vet exam. I often use them when we are sitting outside, at a park or cafe, and place it on my dog's mat. amzn.to/4aCW8NJ There are many treat releasing toys that you can use to feed your dog, to add enrichment to meal time. amzn.to/3Us3FJC The wobbler is one of our favorites! amzn.to/49KDbHm The tennis ball treat dispenser makes your dog really think! This is a great way to feed a meal! amzn.to/3Jqc61x With Spring on our heels, we would like to share some of our favorite Amazon products with you as you "gear" up for more outdoor time.
You will need a proper harness and leash for your spring walks. We love 6 foot leashes that are made of cotton or hemp! This WAUDOG leash comes in fun colors and in 6 ft and 10 ft lengths. amzn.to/3xHrvb8 We also love harnesses because they protect your dog's neck, trachea, and thyroid gland. Here are a few of our favorite harnesses. We are always happy with harnesses that have a Y front and can be adjusted to fit snugly against your dog's chest. The Pet Safe 3 in 1 Harness allows for easy adjustment and comfort. amzn.to/441KBVD The Spark Paw Harness is another great harness amzn.to/3U1jDJ7 Watch here for more great product suggestions. |
