Best Dog Walking Gear https://jeffreysalter.blogspot.com/2023/05/best-dog-walking-gear.html Disclaimer: We may receive a commission if you buy items via links on our website. The gear that we use for our dogs to go on walks with us is some of the most essential gear. This includes collars, harnesses and leashes. No matter if we’re walking around the neighborhood to potty or taking a long adventure hike, the gear that we use is important. It should be durable, well-made and comfortable. It’s disappointing that, despite the importance of this gear, many of the items sold by national pet supply chains are of poor quality or uninspired. Our experience has shown that independent pet supply shops, dog-sport catalogues, or online shops are the best places to find well-made, innovative dog gear. If you’re not immersed in dog culture, you won’t find the best dog products unless you go to dog shows or dog sports events where manufacturers have booths. We can help! We share information on products we love so that you don’t waste money buying junky items found at most chain stores. Best flat Collars We don’t like frills. The flat collar is our favorite way to attach a leash. Front-clip harnesses are great for training (and we will give you some recommendations below), but they cannot be worn all the time. This means that a collar is still needed to attach ID tags. We look for a number of qualities in a dog collar, including strength, quality stitching and material (especially buckles and rings), comfort (soft to reduce chafing) and ease of adjustability. We prefer collars that have “quick release” buckles. The old-fashioned pin-buckle (also known as a watch-buckle, a tang-buckle, or a mouth-buckle) is difficult to remove in an emergency. For example, when the collar of a dog becomes caught and strangled. Owners of large or strong breeds prefer collars that have metal pin buckles because they are almost impossible to separate even under extreme pressure. These are our top flat collar suppliers: Earthdog. The hemp collars are washable, comfortable, and attractive. They get softer after each washing. Four sizes to fit necks from 7″ up to 26 ”. Ruffwear. The company offers a variety of collars. We like the Flat Out Collar because it has a small, separate ring to hold your dog’s ID tags and a large aluminum V-shaped ring. It’s also easy to snap on a leash. White Pine Outfitters. Three sizes for dogs with necks ranging from 11″ to 26″. Soft flat nylon collars available in different widths. From 1/2′” (for small dogs with necks between 6” and 16′”) to 1′” for dogs with necks between 12’’ to 30’’. Specialty collars Some types of collars are very useful for training or walking certain dogs. Here are some of our favorites: Break-away collars. They are great for dogs that like to grab the neck. The Keep-Safe Breakaway Collar is a great option. It can be left on the dog when you’re not there, and then used as a normal walking collar by attaching a leash to two rings. This will override the breakaway function. Martingale collars or “limited slip” collars are designed to prevent dogs who know how to back out (slip off) of their collars. They are useful for dogs with necks that are larger than their heads, such as Bulldogs and Pugs, and for dogs who have very thin heads. Check out 2 Hounds Design for a wide selection of collars in different widths, materials and patterns. They claim to have 248 martingale styles, and all of them are beautiful and well made. Best leashes Old-school trainers used to insist on leather leashes because they were softer for the hands. Even though we no longer pull on the leash as much, some dogs still do. There are now some wonderful soft nylon and hemp leads available, as well as some Biothane leashes that grip wonderfully. Six feet is our recommendation for a leash that’s appropriate for most activities. It gives your dog enough “freedom to roam” but still allows you to keep him safe. Earthdog. J&J Dog Supply. Leather leashes in 6 widths: 1/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, and longer. The 6′ Oiled Leash is our favorite (in only one width, 5/8 “). Trailblazing Tails’ Signature Oiled Leather Leash is a strong, supple leather leash. Our favorite manufacturer of Biothane Leashes. The leashes are available in 5/8″ or 1/2″ widths, and any length. All of their products are great, but the buttery soft “Premium”, which is available in flat or bumpy styles, is especially easy on your hands. Long Lines Best Buy You can keep a light or long line in your toolbox for when you need to give your dog some freedom, but aren’t ready to let them off the leash. We don’t like retractables at all! Light lines are thin cords. We’d only use them for small dogs. Long lines can be as long as 60 feet and are usually slightly narrower. These extra-long “leashes”, allow dogs to exercise in a large open field without the risk of a high-speed pursuit (and high-stakes) after a dog that just spotted an animal like a cat or turkey and cannot resist chasing it. You can also use long lines to practice recalls at a distance. If you have your partner hold the line half way between you and the dog you want to recall, you will be able to double the distance. Our favorite suppliers: Genuine Dog Gear. Genuine Dog Gear is best known for its nylon collars. They also sell paracord light lines that are available in lengths of 10′, 20’, and 30’. These are best for small dogs. Trailblazing Tails. Our favorite Biothane gear maker offers 50-foot long lines in two different widths (1/2″ or 5/8″), and also comes with a choice of lengths. White Pine Outfitters. White Pine Outfitters uses soft, washable nylon with high-quality hardware to make their strong and silky long lines. Available in two widths, and lengths ranging from 10′ to fifty’. White Pine Outfitters’ SoftWeb Long Line is silky, strong and won’t cause your hands to burn. Try a Tab Tabs are a short leash (4” to 6”), which can be attached to the collar of your dog at home, or even when they’re not on a leash. Tabs can be useful for dogs that don’t want their collars grabbed or for when you need a non-obtrusive handle for your dog. These are available to buy or you can cut an old leash into the right length. Our favorite: White Pine Outfitters. White Pine Outfitters makes a 6-inch leather “heeling” tab with a small brass snap. The tab is very light because the leather is only 1/4″ thick. Front-clip harnesses We prefer that owners learn to train their dogs to not pull. However, we are also aware that an owner who does not feel confident in her control of the dog will avoid taking it on walks to be trained. Front-clip dog leashes are the most effective way for owners to reinforce polite leash-walking. We prefer products with a yoke around the neck, rather than those where the straps cross the shoulder. Here are some of our favorites: In.Line Harness Baumutt. This front clip harness has a unique feature. It features a front connection point which tightens if your dog pulls. The harness will also not slide out of place when the leash is pulled. This harness has a second D ring leash attachment at the back of its padded part. The front connection ring of Baumutt’s In Line Harness will tighten the harness if your dog pulls very hard. One more feature is designed to help owners of long-haired pets: the girth belt buckles are placed on the top of the backpad and are made of a plastic shield. This prevents the hair of your dog from becoming caught in the buckles while you’re trying to fasten it. Balance Harness (Blue-9 pet products). This well-made, well-designed harness is a favorite. It has two large, nice rings for attachment (front and rear) and can be adjusted in six different places. The side-release buckle allows you to easily put the harness on your dog without having to pull over their head (some dogs hate or fear this). Five sizes are available, including one that fits dogs with girths of as little as 13.5 inches. Front Range Harness (Ruffwear). Front Range Harness (Ruffwear) is a well-made, attractive harness with double stitching and heavy-duty hardware. The harness has two points for attaching leashes (front and rear) and is adjustable in four places. The four harnesses that we mention here adjust less in each size than the other, so it is even more important to choose the correct size for your pet. This harness is available in three sections, two for small dogs. You can buy each section separately, so you can ensure a perfect fit, whether your dog is tall, short, thin or stocky. This harness has two large, nice rings for attachment (one on the front and the other on the back). It is lined in fleece. This is the link for the second of the three harness parts. Here is the link for the third. Treat Pouches If you’re a smart dog owner, you always carry treats. But if treats are kept in your pockets and then we forget to empty them before laying our clothes out, we could end up with jackets or pants that have their pockets chewed! Treat pouches are a better way to transport treats and won’t leave grease stains. Here are some of the features we look for when choosing a treat bag: The amount of treats that you take on walks should be able to fit in a container large enough (if you are walking more than one pet, there is more space needed! ). We prefer belted bags over clip-on bags because they tend to fall off. Easy to retrieve treats (can we get our hands inside quickly? Favorites: Terry Ryan Treat Pouch (Karen Pryor Clicker Training). The bag has a large pocket for treats and a smaller one (for keys, clickers, poopbags or a clicker). It also features a belt closure. But what we like most is the French spring clasp, which closes the main compartment with just a simple tap. One caveat: Trainers find that the spring mechanism is susceptible to breaking under heavy use; it should last longer under lighter usage by the average owner. The spring mechanism can break under...

Five Steps To Stop Puppy Biting https://jeffreysalter.blogspot.com/2023/05/five-steps-to-stop-puppy-biting.html Planet Dog is experiencing a natural development, and all of this biting makes sense. It’s only natural that we humans with our delicate skin would want this to stop immediately. When your puppy “attacks” the entire family, it’s a terrible thing. It’s hard being a misunderstood pup transplanted from your own culture. Implement a plan for both sides! Here is a five-part strategy to help everyone get through the challenging puppy phase peacefully: Use toys to distract and deter puppy teeth during play. Then, use tug games to bridge to early training. Teach Planet Human (so called “training”) slowly. Employ management equipment to ensure everyone’s safety. Give puppies their Planet Dog Needs I spend the majority of my waking time with puppies between 3 and 6 months old. This is because I am a specialist in puppyhood, run a play-and train group for puppies, and my family fosters rescue litters. Owners often drop off their puppies at my house, frustrated by the constant biting. When I send them the videos of my puppy interacting beautifully with my dog and human family, without biting, they are both hopeful and annoyed. What is the secret? Before I interact with the puppy, I first try to meet his basic Planet Dog needs. What other needs are there besides food and shelter? Consider: Running, chasing and “hunting” at their own pace. Exploring (and resting), and having mouthy fun such as chewing sticks or biting their friends. Our house is a place where a puppy can play with other dogs, with teeth and all, explore a yard full of interesting smells, dig some dirt, chew sticks and bark at deer and foxes. When the puppy has had about half an hour of all that and wanders over to me, he’s no longer bursting with that wild I’ve-been-trapped-in-a-pen-in-the-living-room energy. It’s not the pup who is tired after his 30 minutes with us, but he has been filled with enrichment activities. He is like a second-grade boy that just came back from recess after having a great time. Now he can sit at his desk, listen and be calm. You can give your dog daily doses of what it’s like to be a real puppy, no matter where you live. Find a dog friend to have regular bitey playdates with in your area. A “sniffari”, or a leisurely walk in an interesting place, some interaction with friendly adult dogs and lots of chewing and digging will also help. The next section will help you manage biting by addressing those needs. Ask yourself, “Did I get to be much of a dog today?” If you answered no, then start there. Second, provide a variety of chewables. Your puppy may bite to demonstrate his need to chew. For teething puppies, chewing is an essential canine activity. It pays to have items that encourage a long, satisfying chewing session. This will make your puppy happier and teach him the habit of chewing on “legal” objects. What’s safe for use? Rawhides can cause intestinal blockages. Bully sticks are choking hazards. Toys with threads in them can entangle the intestines. Marrow bones are known to break and puncture internal organs. There’s no chew toy that is completely safe. Even if it is labeled as a puppy chew, it can still land you in an emergency room. But let’s get back to the main point of this section: Puppies need to chew. And those dramatic medical emergencies are unlikely to occur if you choose appropriate chewing items. Everyone has to assess their own risks. Here are some of my guidelines: The safest options are food-filled Kongs and Toppls, in the right size for your pup. You can use them every day if you put in some nutritious ingredients (a mix of a spoonful or two of canned food with some moistened kibble and some green beans or carrots that are almost too old). Later, always keep an ear open for sounds of coughing or choking. Stay nearby and listen for sounds of choking or coughing. As you observe different chewing styles and evaluate them, be on the lookout for a pup that is able to chew at a rapid pace and break off pieces. This puppy will get a limited variety of chew items. While your pup is exploring the new treats, grab the chew that he has left behind. Adult dogs can easily break the bones into small pieces or even crack them with their teeth, but puppies are not strong enough to do that. I will personally leave a puppy in a crate unsupervised with a nice marrowbone like this. If you’d like to keep it for a few more days, put it in the refrigerator after every 20-minute session of chewing. Rawhides and Bully Sticks are notorious for causing digestive upset, blockages and choking issues. When I use them I always supervise. Also, I only buy giant-sized chews, as the smaller ones that say “for puppies” are more likely to be swallowed by the puppy or get stuck in their throats or digestive tracts. I buy the super-long or thick chews and offer them in 20 minute increments to the pups. If they do chew it down to swallowable size I toss it out before it becomes a choking risk. The price of the bully sticks is a bit much, but stomach surgery would cost more. Play tug with toys to get rid of puppy teeth. It only takes a split second for those sharp teeth, and the cute disguise of extreme cuteness to cause a puppy’s pants to rip or draw blood. The worst part is not the blood or the rip. Your puppy had a chance for practice at biting. It’s likely that she found it rewarding and fun – “Yay!” It’s like being at home with my littermates! This clever use of two puppy-management tools is a great example: a soft, long tug toy, and a portable pen that can contain the puppy while keeping clothing and skin on children intact. Photo by Kathy Callahan Do not let this happen. You can reach for the toys in the basket that you’ve placed at the entrance of any area where the puppy spends a lot of time. Grab one or two tug toys. When the puppy is new, at first you will use these toys to protect yourself from those sharp puppy teeth. How well the classic replace-hand-with-toy strategy works in decreasing painful bites depends on your ability to choose the right toys (by observing closely which ones are favorites for your particular pup) and keeping them in the right spots. When you are first fending off, large stuffed animals will protect your hand and block the mouth. When you start to tug, long, flat furry animals are best (bonus points if they have a squeaker at the end). The thick, hard rope toys are often ignored, while the soft, stretchy braided fleece is the best. You can make these yourself! Remember that the length of the toy is important. A six-inch toy can be used by very experienced puppy handlers, but for newbies, the longer the toy is, the safer it will make the human. You’ll thank yourself if you include a three-foot crinkly serpent in your repertoire if you have small children. The way you manage and store your dog’s toys can make a huge difference. I want to give you so many choices that you could literally litter your puppy’s room with them. Should you? Nope! If the toy is old and has been sitting around for a while, it will not be appealing. You can also choose the fluffy raccoon that the puppy hasn’t been able to see since Tuesday. Bingo! Teeth are occupied in a manner that is pleasing to everyone. Always rotate toys. You can keep a few toys out in the morning and then switch them for the afternoon. You’ll soon be encouraging your dog to play tug, a wonderful Planet Dog/Planet Human compromise. Tug lets us give our puppy a YES to her instinct for physical, biting play instead of a NO which is both ineffective and unfair. In the dark age of dog training when alpha was king, dog trainers used to say that tugging would make your dog question your authority. Modern tug is a fun way to improve communication as you gradually add structure to the game. You can start by teaching that a polite “sit” will restart the game. Then you progress to a “Drop”. What is the result? Fun plus learning plus communication plus bonding. #4) Introduce fun training games After they have met their Planet Dog needs through play with other puppies of their kind, in a natural environment, where there are opportunities to sniff, chew, roll, and dig, pups will be more able to behave calmly. Photo by Kathy Callahan. When your puppy’s teething is over, introduce a new fun way to entertain yourself. You can teach your puppy new ways to interact by using food as a reward for certain behaviors, such as “touch” or “sit”. As the puppy gets used to fun and food-filled training the quicker you will be able to use it to stop the biting. Instead of ignoring your voice, and continuing to attack your pant leg with a biting, the puppy will start to stop and think “Oh, right.” It’s a win-win situation! As the eyes meet yours, say “Yes!” and toss a reward to the other side: “Find It!” Repeat, repeat, repeat as pup goes back and forth (like a ping-pong game). When the pup’s eyes meet yours say “Yes!” tossing a treat the other way: “Find It!” Repeat as the pup moves back and forth. This simple game has many advantages: You can increase the difficulty of the game by throwing farther, increasing the energy expended, or changing the behavior required to restart the game. You can create a cooperative atmosphere by playing a quick game of tug with your biting pup, followed by some time of this type of training. This ping-pong is more effective than a game of tug because mental stimulation is more exhausting than physical exertion. Remember: This will not work on the first day, as you haven’t built the relationship and understanding that you can earn tasty things by listening to you. Review: On Day One, the strategy to stop biting is to use stuffed animals. A few days later, you can play a tug-of-war game. And only later should you resort to a training session if your child has a bad mood. #5) Use management tools: Crates, Gates and ...
