We get questions all the time about our recommended leashes, collars, and training equipment. Below we listed all our favorite products and their features! We carry many of these products with us, if your training with us and want to try one of these out please let us know!
Collars:
Teaching our dogs to walk on a loose leash can be a challenge. We believe the martingale collars are the best tool to help us. Max and Neo's Martingale collar is our go to. Available in two styles, nylon with stainless steel chain and full nylon. While we prefer the steel chain for durability both are great realiable options. These collars feature a locking buckle to prevent accidental unclipping. They are designed to tighten with pressure but unlike a choke chain collar they can only tighten to a point. These collars are designed for walking only! Due to their tendency to hang loosely, when properly fitted, they can easily catch on things around the house. Make sure to remove your dogs martingale after walks.

While the Martingale is intended for walking on, we love BioThane collars for daily wear. We like to refer to this as our "ID collar". Having a collar to wear 24/7 with identification on it can be a life saver and you'll see why this is our top pick. BioThane is a coated webbing material that is durable, waterproof, and easy to clean. In case you were wondering waterproof also means stink proof! Normal nylon collars tend to soak up a lot of moisture, dirt, and grime, overtime they can start to smell pretty bad. If you've ever had issues with stinky collars or collars causing irritation we highly recommend trying out a BioThane collar. If you're interested in supporting a small business we love products from Rubysaurus Creations on Etsy! They have lots of color and hardware options, as well as customizable options!

Leashes:
Our top pick for your traditional nylon leash. The Max and Neo line provides so many options you're bound to find the leash that's right for you. These leashes feature a reflective stitching on both sides to increase visibility, neoprene padded handle for extra comfort, and high quality metal clip and d-ring. Made of high quality nylon webbing these leashes are durable enough for even the strongest dogs yet still comfortable for the handler. Also available in many colors, we always love when our leash can match pups collar!

Made with the same features as the other BioThane products mentioned, a long line is a long tether to your dog. Perfect for training distance stays and recall the long line still provides you with the comfort that your dog can't run off. While normal leashes tend to drag a little, a long line spend a lot of time on the ground. That's why we prefer a biothane leash for this job. Who knows what the leash may be dragged through, hose it off outside of toss it in the sink to clean it off! If you're interested in supporting a small business we love products from Rubysaurus Creations on Etsy, their leashes have length options from 2 - 20 feet.

A traffic leash is a training tool designed to help keep your medium/large dog close to you. Useful in crowded situations, busy streets, with reactive or overly friendly dog, and for training. We love to visit dog parks however, you never know who you might encounter. This is when we use traffic leashes the most. You have an easy handle to grab if you need control over your pup however, they don't get tangled up like they would draging a 6 foot leash. They are also very useful when training a close heel. Our top picks are Max and Neo's padded nylon traffic leash(left) and Rubysaurus Creations BioThane Traffic Leash(right).
