Gear recommendations for dogs and puppies

Buying dog gear can be a minefield with how commercialised things are, often selling you a bunch of stuff you really don’t need. Here’s the stuff I have tried and tested over dozens and dozens of personal & foster dogs, and now recommend my owner coaching clients either to purchase or DIY if purchasing isn’t in the budget right now. Maybe some stuff for the Christmas list for the dog owner in your life!

Special mentions to Travelling Tails, Wild Dog and Shine Canine / Shine Pets - not sponsored, just excellent humans & gear who I trust to send my clients to.

PS if times are tough, remember that your dog doesn’t actually care how much money you spend on them. This stuff is just about making your life easier. Provided the dogs basic needs have been met, the thing they most appreciate is quality time with you.
