Through a dog's ear
Clinical studies suggest dogs who are exposed to a variety of musical styles will stay calmer longer. The varied music of Through a Dog’s Ear is specially designed for dogs and the people who love them.
If your dog is anxious when left alone, riding in the car or when guests are over, playing a track can help to soothe your pup during stressful events.
Martingale Collar
This is our recommended collar style for use in our group classes, private training sessions and when out walking and training your dog.
When properly adjusted a martingale collar cannot slip off your pups head and will not over tighten or choke them, providing safety and security.
Measure your dog's neck carefully. If you have a growing pup select a collar that fits at the smallest size it will adjust to. That way you can adjust it larger as your puppy grows. Get one with a buckle too so putting the collar on and off is quick and easy.
Our local pet stores carry a selection of martingale collars so check with your favorite store before ordering one online.
6 foot training lead
Deciding on the style and feel of your lead is a personal decision.
What type of material feels best to you? Nylon, Cotton, BioThane, Leather?
The lead you select wants to be light in your hand and comfortable for you. You also want the lead and snap to be an appropriate size and weight for your dog.
Keep it simple. Six feet long, one handle on your end, a snap for the dog, no chain, no bungie section and nothing attached or hanging off the lead.
Check out High Tail Hikes BioThane leads and the custom made leather lead options above. You can also find a great selection of leads locally.
Kuranda dog beds
We think Kuranda Beds are the best dog beds available. Their elevated design evenly distributes your dog's bodyweight which eliminates pressure points that cause sore hips, shoulders and elbows.
The beds come a variety of frame styles with an assortment of easy to clean top fabrics in a selection of colors.
These beds are durable and come with a 1 year chew proof warranty. A Kuranda Bed is the last dog bed you'll ever need to buy.
Kuranda Beds make a great, clearly defined space that is ideal for place training. Kuranda Beds are comfortable so dogs are happy to go to place and stay there for long periods of time.
**There are loads of places to find the dog supplies that you need. My preference is that we support other small local business's here in the Eastern Sierra. I know from personal experience though, that I can't always find the specialty items that I'm looking for. I've shared some products and supplies that I use and recommend to help you collect quality products that will serve you and your pup for many years. Some of the items I've listed here have an affiliate link for you to use. When you order using my link, the company gives me a small percentage of the sale. You won't pay any more when you order and using the links above will allow me to make a few extra dollars which helps me stay in business. When you can't find what you need locally I'd appreciate you using the links and supporting my small local business, Eastern Sierra Dog Sports. Thank you!
