Dog Training Equipment

Getting started with training doesn't need to be complicated. The essentials are a well-fitted dog harness or collar, a suitable training lead and a treat bag to keep rewards close to hand. Pairing these with some quality dog training treats will give you everything needed to begin positive reinforcement sessions.

For most training scenarios, a harness is recommended as it distributes pressure across the chest rather than the neck, reducing risk of injury, especially useful for dogs that pull. A no-pull harness can also help redirect your dog's attention during walks. Collars are fine for attaching ID tags but should be used with care for lead training, particularly with puppies or brachycephalic breeds.
