Trainer Picks: Dog Training and Safety Products

Help keep your dog cool and safe in the car, and keep people from reaching in, too!

I use these as decoys in my Growly Dog class and private sessions.

Fancy rear-attachment head collar from England.

This European leash can be used more than eight different ways!

The Comfort Trainer is the "cadillac" of head collars.  Rounded edges to make your dog comfortable.  Head collars are the best way to control big pullers!

The Ferrari of dog walking harnesses. The Freedom harness works great with double-ended leash (sold separately) to attach to the chest and back of the dog, for more control. (Standard Double Ended Leash comes in TWO sizes! Narrow - 5/8" w/small clip comes in black/brown. Wide - 1" w/large clip comes in black/silver-grey.) Swiss velvet on chest strap to prevent chafing. Manufacturer's warranty covers chewing!!

Freedom!! Flexi is the original brand for retractable leashes. The all-belt style is the most safe.

Protect your back seat with this nifty seat protector. I've had a backseat hammock for years and years in my car and am glad to finally have them at Ahimsa.

Travel responsibly with your dog using this safety-tested harness in your car or truck. Unrestrained pets cause more than 30,000 accidents per year, and are at far greater risk during any accidents.

Tug toy and a leash! That way, you'll always have a toy with you when you walk your dog.

Muzzles can make or break the safety of your training program. Always condition a dog to be used to a muzzle before having your dog wear one. Never leave a muzzled dog unsupervised.

Great as crate pads or beds for training "go to your bed!"

Keep your pets out of the garden with this natural repellent spray.

The Outward Hound® Designer II Quick Access Treat 'N Training Bag saves you the trouble of digging treats out of your pocket or carrying an extra baggie. A great tool for both pet owners and professional trainers.

The Max Walker is the bungee leash that we use as a tether at the training center.

The clicker leash is a leash and clicker in one, so if your dog is still in training, you'll have a clicker at your fingertips whenever you need it during your walk!

Strong leash with a very soft handle! Just what you need if your dog pulls.

Your dog's leash attaches to the front of this harness, putting physics on your side. Walks with your dog can be fun again!

The TRETS Treat bag clips at your waist and stays shut with a magnet!

Soft dog collar that's easy on the dog! Comes in several colors, but not the green that's pictured. Go figure...

These foam rings are excellent targets for dog training!

Soft double-ended leash with a small clip on one end and a big clip on the other end.

Long line, made from padded webbing. Great for practicing recalls. Available in two sizes (10 M = about 33 feet & 5 M = about 16 feet) .

They're here! Baskerville Ultra Muzzles are now shipping.

Finally, an odor eliminator that is strong, effective, yet safe for your family. PureAyre is food-grade, meaning it's better than just "non-toxic."

Calm your dog with a pheremone of a mother dog.

Great aromatherapy mists to help your dog calm down in the car or during stressful events.

Spray Shield Works! I have personally used this spray to break up dog fights where the dogs were clamped on. Officially called an "Animal Deterrant."

Pro-Leash is a great two-in-one leash. Two handles, two clips. Use as a tab for training or a traffic lead. 1-Inch-by-6-Foot 2-in-1 Dog Leash, Black, from Premier

The Gentle Leader® Calming Cap™ is a behavior management aid that is designed to lessen a dog's anxiety or aggression in high-stress situations.

Spiffy Dog Treat Bag - store treats, poop bags, or anything else that you want to make sure you bring on your walk.

Our all natural Bison Trachea Pipe Strips are a natural source of glucosamine and condroitin sulfate, both of which promote healthy joints in dogs. Your dog will love them.

All sorts of uses!

Your dog may be at risk for strangulation when you are not home. This breakaway collar could save your dog's life.

I love this smooth dog leash. It's easy on the hands, never tangles, and I can even use it for a tug rope.

Puppies have accidents. That's just the way of the world. So get some of this odor remover so that you can easily clean after your puppy to help prevent future mistakes.

No spill, foldable travel bowl. This is the designer edition, so it's cute, too!

Holder for Bags on Board. Clip to your leash or belt.

Save your furniture from puppy teeth. Bitter Apple is the best deterrent spray out there!

Biodegradable bags for picking up after your dog.

Nail trimmers for dogs, with red PVC handle for comfort.

Many uses!  Safety strap for the Comfort Trainer or other head collars or attach your head collar and harness together for major dog control.

The clicker marks the instant the dog does something right, and tells him he's earned a reinforcement. One free clicker is included with each training class, but if you want another clicker, get one here!

Keep your clicker handy with this wrist coil. Never drop your clicker while training again!

File your nails instead of trimming, or use this file to smooth out the rough edges after you clip your dog's nails.
