TOYS AND PUZZLES

OUTWARD HOUND TEASER TAIL

All of my dogs love this toy! it is great for entertainment and indoor exercise, especially when you can't get outside. I prefer to add the small Hol-ee Roller ball to the end of the pole instead of the furry toys that are included.

BUY HERE

SMALL HOL-EE ROLLER

The small Hol-ee Roller is a great addition to the Outward Hound Teaser Tail. It is also great for playing fetch and hiding toys and treats inside as a fun game. If you have a larger dog you may want a larger size for playtime.

TOPPL

This is my go to toy for feeding fun stuff like yogurt, canned foods, fruits, veggies etc. There are lots of great recipes you can find to help you fill your Toppl. I fill and freeze and use to keep my dogs busy. It is also great for teething puppies.

ZIPPY PAWS SNAKE PELTZ

No stuffing! Need I say more? These are a favorite of my dogs. Not so great for heavy chewers.

OUTWARD HOUND DOG BRICK PUZZLE

SNUGGLE PUPPY

A must have for a brand new puppy. Comes with heat packs and heartbeat sound to simulate being with mom. Comes in many colors to match your pup!

IDIG

Fun toy for treat search and digging. Save your yard from all the holes and give your dog an outlet for their digging. Digging actually burns a lot of energy so it can be a good thing in the right context. Although it is a bit costly it may be much less than repairing the landscape for dogs that love to dig.

CHUCKIT MAX GLOW BALL

Great ball for fetch. Really does glow in the dark. Comes in several sizes. It is squishy so it's also good for catch.

BUY HERE

CHUCKIT ZIPFLIGHT

This is a great starter disc for frisbee. Fabric covered foam is easy on the teeth but not a good chew toy. I only use mine for practicing frisbee catches.

TRAINING EQUIPMENT

PETSAFE MINI TREAT POUCH

My go-to treat pouch closes with just a touch. Has multiple pockets to separate treats. Ziploc snack size bags fit perfectly to hold messy treats. I prefer the mini size shown here but it does come in a larger size as well.

Go Toobs are a great way to deliver high value treats such as canned food. These are food grade silicone so they are safe for pups. Mix some canned food, pate texture, with some water until you get the right consistency and squeeze away without making a mess.

KURANDA BED

Kuranda beds are my preferred bed for sleeping and training. I have this exact model shown but you can create your own using different fabrics and either PVC or aluminum frames. They are super durable and chew proof. They sell replacement parts if you ever want to change fabrics or need a repair. Literally the last bed you will ever need to buy.

Highly recommend using this fresh grass patch for puppies and small adult dogs. Much better for potty training than paper pads, especially if your goal is to have the puppy exclusively outdoors when trained. Excellent for small dogs when inclement weather strikes. I use these every winter for my small dog. Order as needed or on a subscription. I use the large for my 10 pound dog.

I always use this for puppies. It is gentle and cleans well. It does have a cherry scent but the scent does not linger long. However, your puppy’s coat will be soft and clean.

TREATS AND FEEDING ACCESSORIES

OPEN FARM FREEZE DRIED RAW FOOD

I actually use this for treats. Most dogs love it and it crumbles nicely to create a powder that I use to build duration on a stay cue. You could also crumble it on dog food for picky eaters. I typically use the surf and turf but there are many flavors to choose from.

DOG PACER TREADMILL

I have this treadmill and it’s a lifesaver in inclement weather. If you have a really active breed, I highly recommend!

CANADA POOCH PRODUCTS

The Canada Pooch store has so many cute items such as tees, jackets, scarves etc. I love these products for my Italian Greyhound as he doesn’t tolerate cold weather. Very nice quality products!

ADAPTIL SPRAY

This is a great option for on the go if you feel that your dog may become anxious. I have used this on bedding when I bring home a new foster or puppy. You can also spray your car carrier or bedding at home. This s a versatile product that has many uses for the anxious dog.

THUNDER SHIRT

This can be a great tool for some dogs who have anxiety. I find that it helps 100% or not at all depending on your dog. If you think your dog can benefit from anxiety relief this is definitely worth a shot. If it doesn’t seem to help, it is most likely returnable if it isn’t damaged.
