TRAINING TOOLS
These are not "Must haves" This is a page to learn how to properly and SAFELY use these tools
Halti Training Lead
Halti's take practice and supervision for dogs to get used to this tool but this greatly helps with guiding dogs on walks rather than them pulling you.
Basket Muzzle
I believe every dog should be muzzle trained. This is an open-mouth muzzle. A dog can wear this for long periods of time, can drink, pant and take treats with this on.
Place Bed
This is the type of raised bed trainers use to teach "place". The fact that it's raised helps dogs understand that this is a specific area for them to go and hangout calmly.
Weight Pack
This gives a dog a job on the walk, helps keeps them focused and can make a 30 minute walk into an an hour long walk for dogs who need extra exercise.
"Do Not Pet" Vest
Advocate for your dog! This is a vest I use for many of the dogs who are being rehabilitated and trained. This statement helps keep people from walking up and petting your dog, especially reactive dogs. You can also purchase "In Training" Velcro attachments to this vest as well.
Mini Educator E-Collar
This is the best e-collar on the market to teach and guide dogs in every situation. There are many ways to use this but we use this to parallel known commands and get the dogs attention when off-leash. This tool is NOT used to "shock" a dog into submission. That would be abuse. I recommend this for all dogs owners who want secure off-leash work.
