The right tools can make training clearer, kinder, and more effective — but the wrong ones can undermine trust or even cause stress.
In this session, we’ll explore how to choose and use equipment in a way that builds partnership, not pressure. From leads and harnesses to long lines and enrichment tools, you’ll learn how to support your dog’s needs while strengthening your bond.
We’ll cover:
- Understanding how different tools affect behaviour and communication
- Choosing equipment that supports safety, comfort, and clarity
- When (and how) to introduce new tools for best results
- Using training aids to empower your dog rather than restrict them
By the end, you’ll feel confident selecting and using tools that improve training outcomes while reinforcing your relationship of trust.
