THE RAKE: A Rake is an affordable tool that is also really good for dogs with a thick double undercoat and lots of shedding. Several companies make a rake style brush, they can be found at most pet stores and online for about $8 - $12.

SAFESPOT LOCKING LEASH: An adjustable
locking dog collar and leash that can give you peace of mind if you need to
leave your dog unattended for a SHORT period of time, like if you need to run into the bank or a store. It has a sturdy, uncuttable steel cable that
secures your dog to an object. It’s made
of Plastic/steel/nylon webbing. A bit
pricey at $69 but may be well worth the price considering that upwards of 2
million dogs are stolen each year!
Remember, this is only if you need to leave your dog for a very short
time – not for an hour while you go shopping.
Never leave your dog for more than just a few minutes no matter where
you are or how safe you may think it is.
You can find it on the Orvis web site at www.orvis.com

SQUEEZABLE TREAT DISPENSERS: I love these! They are great for training, treating, or for
busy toy purposes. There are a few
varieties of squeezable treat dispensers on the market. Rather than giving your dog messy bits of
chicken or peanut butter, or buying expensive bags of treats, you can instantly
treat your dogs with a lick of peanut butter or bit of other squeezable
treat. I like to load up the dispenser
with peanut butter and chill so it’s cool and lasts longer. PAWW Treat Toob is a great treat dispenser
product that’s relatively new. I like
that the Treat Toob is easy to fill and transparent, so you can see how much is
left inside. It comes in a few colors
and you can write the contents on the bottle’s label window. About $8.95 on Amazon. Squeeze
Bones is another type of squeezable treat dispenser which dispenses hard treats. Dogs chew on it dispensing treats themselves.
This is a good type of treat dispenser to use as a busy toy, keeping
your dog engaged for awhile. You can use
it as a reward after a training session or as a keep ‘em busy toy. Both types of
dispensers are easy to fill, easy to dispense, portable, and re-usable over and
over again. If your dog is a serious
chewer, I’m not sure how long the Squeeze Bones will last, some reviewers
indicated it may not be great for strong chewers. Photo of an orange Treat Toob from Amazon's web site:
