Essential Tools to Start Training This Year

Jan 1, 2025

Training is one of the most rewarding experiences for you and your dog, but getting started can feel overwhelming. The right tools can help you succeed, whether you're working on basic obedience, leash manners, fitness, or potty training.


The KLIMB for Manners Training:

How to Use It: Start with the "place" command. Encourage your dog to step onto
the KLIMB using treats or a favorite toy. Reward them when all four paws are on
the platform. Gradually add distractions to build their focus.

Why It Works: The KLIMB provides a designated space for your dog, making it
easier to teach boundaries and commands like "stay."

The Reflective Balance Harness for Leash Manners:

How to Use It: Adjust the harness so it fits snugly but comfortably. Attach the
leash to the front ring to guide your dog during walks and reduce pulling. Pair it
with the Multifunction Leash for optimal control.


Pro Tip: Practice short leash training sessions in a quiet area before heading out
on a busy walk.


Propel Air for Fitness:

How to Use It: Start with simple exercises like having your dog step on and off
the Propel. Once they’re comfortable, introduce balance and core-strengthening
activities.


Why It’s Important: Regular fitness improves coordination and reduces the risk of
injuries.


Ring & Reward Bells for Potty Training:

How to Use It: Place the bells near the door. Show your dog how to ring them
with their paw or nose before heading outside. Consistently reward them when
they use the bells to signal potty time.

Pro Tip: Start with short, frequent training sessions to build the habit.
