Our Favorite Things

When you have such a fantastic household of family pets such as we do, you are always on the look out for the best leashes, collars, tags, training tools, training methodologies, enrichment games, and more. As such, we have listed several of our favorite shops, companies, and training tools. We hope that you have as much fun as we do going through them!

 

Photography, Collars, Leashes, Bandanas, and Treats

Charlie Nunn Photography

I can't sing Charlie and Raymond's praises enough when it comes to photo and edit quality, as well as how comfortable they are to shoot with. Since meeting them, we just want this team to photograph ALL of our dogs, if only we had the space for more prints! If you are local to Southern California, or maybe before you head home with your puppy, we definitely recommend checking them out (and let them know we sent you!)! You can find more about them here. 

Dream n' Design

Dream n' Design is located in Southern California and makes some amazing collars and matching leashes. We have been known to purchase quite a few of her martingale/check chain collars for all of our dogs (because every dog needs at least 10 collar designs, right?). She is always willing to work with you for the best size collar, and will custom fit the length as desired, definitely check her out here. 

The Harbor Hound Company
​
Because who can ever have enough leashes? Harbor Hound is fantastic rope leash company located in Colorado. It is always exciting to dream up new color combinations and leash designs with the wonderful owner of this small business. She is always willing to offer her input, try out new color combinations, or help you design your own type of leash to suit your needs! We hope that you will go check her out here.

Training Tools and Enrichment Games

Nina Ottosson Puzzles

Whether you are feeling under the weather, it's a stormy day, or you just need something to keep your dog busy, we recommend enrichment puzzles such as those designed by Nina Ottosson. These games are designed with varying degrees of difficulty and help engage your dog and keep them learning. Some of our favorites include the Dog Casino and Brick Interactive puzzles. You can read more about her products here.

FitPAWS
​
Canine conditioning is always an important part of our training regimen. When working on our trick and agility training, we want to ensure that our dogs have well developed core strength as well as well conditioned muscles in general. We use a lot of the FitPAWS equipment and have a lot of fun with it. Read more about their products here.
