What gear is best for your dog? This week, we break down all the different types of gear available for dogs and explain when you would use them. There are so many different options out there that it can be overwhelming, but knowing how to properly communicate your expectations on the leash is extremely important. Some gear is better for certain dogs over others, some build frustration, and some only suppress behavior instead of teaching your dog alternatives.

Does tethering your dog actually help them learn something? This week, we cover the popular training technique of tethering. We deconstruct the method, explain why it isn’t effective, and discuss how it can have a negative impact on our dogs. Many dogs with different behavioral attributes will react to this technique in different ways, but they strive to help owners understand the importance of teaching the art of self-control in a different manner.
