DOG TRAINING TOOLS
Dog Training Tools & Equipment
When choosing equipment it is important to pick the right tool which can make management or training significantly easier. Remember not every tool is the right choice for every dog or ethically comfortable for owners. Some tools may be ineffective or can be damaging mentally or physically to a dog or owner. The mission for us at Doggie residence is to educate about all tools and equipment so everyone can make an educated ethical decision for your dogs needs.

Head Halters
Head Halters Fit Like a Brindle Of a Horse
The easiest way to explain a head halter is that it's like a bridle on a horse. They are usually made of fabric and have two main parts. There is a loop that goes around the dogs nose, and a strap that goes around the upper part of the neck and clips behind the ears. There is also a strap that attaches to the leash under the dogs muzzle where the leash goes.
Harnesses
Harnesses Fit Around A Dog's Neck & Body
Harnesses are much more bigger than collars and designed to go around your dogs neck and body. Harnesses main function is to take pressure off a dogs neck and depending on the type of design can make pulling easier or harder. There a few types of harnesses available as of the time this post was written: Front clip, Back clip, no pull and Balanced (front and back clipped).
Leashes
Lorem ipsum dolor sit ame
Leashes are one of the most important piece of equipment for safety and training. There are many types of leashes and usually a matter of personnel preference.
