Dog Training Equipment

The first thing you need to know is there is NO piece of training equipment that will train your dog for you. Here 's a list of the different types of training equipment to help you make a decision:

Body Harness - The body harness was designed to enable dogs to pull heavy loads. This collar is well suited for a trained dog who doesn't pull on leash.
Flat Buckle Collar - This is the most common type of dog collar. This collar is best for easy to train dogs who walk on leash without pulling.
Martingale - Also called a check choke or limited choke collar. This is the next step up from the flat buckle collar. The martingale gets your dogs attention by tightening around his neck without choking.
Head collar - Also called a halti, snoot loop, or gentle leader. The head halter fits around the dog's muzzle like a horse bridle. It is not a muzzle- your dog can still open his mouth. We rarely recommend this collar because it's uncomfortable for the dog. Please consult with a trainer before using a head halter because there is a risk of neck injury if the collar is not used properly.
No pull front clip harness - this harness uses the same concept as a head halter but is more comfortable for the dog. The leash is attached to the front of the harness so the dog has to turn around when he pulls. Not recommended for dogs who bark, lunge, or bite.
Choke Collar - Also known as a slip collar or training collar. This collar is best suited for skilled dog handlers.
Pinch Collar - Also known as a prong collar, it pinches your dog when he pulls. We do not recommend this collar.
6' Leash - Can be nylon, cotton, or leather. This is the best length to train your dog to walk on a loose leash.
15-20' Cotton Training Leash - When you're ready to train outside and add some distance.
Flexi Leash - This leash expands and retracts. This leash is best suited for a well trained dog.
