[music and intro]

Annie:

Hey everyone. So I wanted to talk about some products that I have found particularly useful as I have been raising Poppy over the last few months, because I know so many people have gotten new dogs in the last year. And I'm pretty sure, were I not immersed in this world, I probably would have spent a lot of money on things that maybe weren't totally necessary.

 

So I specifically thought I would talk about products that I'm guessing your average dog owner has not heard of. If you're a regular listener of this podcast, you might've heard me mention a few of these things. Most of them, we do carry in our online store. And if you are a fan of this podcast and you want to shop there, that's definitely a great way to support what we're doing at School for the Dogs. The online store is storeforthedogs.com, and where in all the cases where we carry these things, I will put links in the show notes 

 

And the way I've organized this list, some are specific products made by specific companies, and some are sort of product categories that you might I not have heard of. In some cases also, I am going to talk about how you can kind of DIY your own version of this product.  And some of these things are pretty inexpensive. Some are more expensive, but in the cases where something's more expensive, if I'm mentioning it, it’s because I really think it is worth it.

 

There are so many overpriced pet related gadgets out there, you know, dog beds that will track your dog's weight, fitness trackers for dogs, leashes, collars that have all kinds of add-ons and doo dads. There's just a lot of unnecessary products on the market. If you ask me.  And of course there are many, many products I recommend to people for many reasons all the time that I just haven't found have been particularly necessary in my life and my family's life with Poppy over the last six months, which doesn't mean I don't love them. I just am narrowing this list down by what has been particularly essential in our lives.

 

So I think I have 10 things on those lists and I'm going to get started in no particular order. So the first product that I have found just extremely useful is the Revol dog crate. I think crates can be useful in general, but honestly I never really used one with my old dog Amos. He was fine going in a crate in a pinch, but it wasn't part of our everyday lives together.

 

With him I used a bag a lot and although Poppy is actually not a lot bigger than him, I haven't done a lot of travel with her. So there is no specific bag on this list. Although if I were to talk about a bag, it would probably be this one fabulous dog backpack I have that I have used for years, which we used to carry, but have since been discontinued.

 

But as far as containing Poppy, the crate has been great. And I specifically love the Revol for so many reasons. I never thought I would be such an evangelist about something as basically ugly as a dog crate.  But as dog crates go, I think the Revol is actually pretty, pretty good looking. It comes in three colors. Now I have the black, which I happen to think is the nicest looking one.

 

But if if I love this crate, it's not because of its aesthetics, although it is pretty nice looking. It's because it has some features that I think are really invaluable. I think the thing I like most about it is that it opens up on three different sides. So I often leave one of each side open so that it becomes almost like a four poster bed for her where she can just hang out without necessarily being locked in.

 

It also has a hatch that opens on the top, which is great when I'm training her. I can toss treats in there. I work with my daughter and Poppy a lot with her in the crate. And it's perfect for her to be able to toss treats in the top, which comes open.

 

It folds up incredibly quickly and easily without a lot of noise and clanking, which is important when we've had to bring it places. It's actually the only crate — or it's the crate we use most, I should say, at School for the Dogs. We have a whole bunch of them in School for the Dogs.

 

And one of my trainers who does our Day School program, where they're putting dogs in and out of crates and setting up and breaking down, you know, several times a week, said she thinks she probably wouldn't have lasted so long in the job if she was having to use a regular crate because they're so much more annoying to collapse than the Revol is.

 

And it also has wheels. so it's really easy to drag it. It has a handle. So you can sort of pick up the whole thing when it's collapsed very easily, like a suitcase. I just think it's a great, really well-made product, really thoughtfully designed. And it is significantly more expensive than a crate that someone's going to buy on Amazon. But I do think of it as like a purchase that I'm gonna have for my dog's lifetime.

 

So it's, it's certainly a worthwhile purchase in my opinion.  Like I said, I don't think you have to use a crate with a dog, but it can certainly be helpful with house training. And I think it's been really useful considering that I have a toddler around.  Sometimes I just really need Poppy kind of out of the picture for a little bit, for whatever reason. And so it's a great thing that she is happy to go in her crate.

 

And I think the fact that she's been able to hang out a lot in it while it's, you know, basically open on, on half its sides has made her feel good about being in there and having that sort of be her spot.

 

You can get the Revol and the various doodads they sell with it. There's a nice pad that fits in it. That's like a nice sort of thick foam pad. It comes in different colors. There's something called the Groov, which you can stick in the side and put peanut butter on it so that the dog can look at and feel good about being in the crate. Cause they get to lick peanut butter in there.

 

You can get it straight from the company that makes it, Diggs. If you go to SchoolfortheDogs.com/diggs, that's D I G G S, that is an affiliate link. So we'll make a couple bucks if you buy it there. You can also get it at storeforthedogs.com. We don't carry it in our actual east village shop, but we do ship them out all week, every week.

 

And we also have a 10% off discount that you can get if it's your first purchase with us. So we definitely have a lot of clients who take advantage of that when buying these kinds of higher priced items, if they haven't shopped with us before. And I will again put the link for where you can buy the crate at storeforthedogs.com in the show notes.

 

All right, second product that I am obsessed with is the Flirt Pole. I really don't know how anyone could have a puppy without a Flirt Pole, especially if you have a young dog in a New York City apartment, as I do.  Flirt pole is basically just like a really big cat toy.

 

The one that we sell and the one that I use with Poppy is made by a company called Squishy Face. It has this nice, like fleecy kind of like lure at the end, which is attached by a nice sized bungee cord to what's basically just like a PVC pipe with a handle.

 

And it's an excellent way to exercise a dog indoors without having to run and chase after a ball, without having to worry about getting your hand mistaken as a tug toy by your dog. I mean, whenever you're playing tug with a dog, you want to have something nice and long so that they don't, they don't accidentally chomp down on your hand.

 

One thing I like about the Squishy Face flirt pole in particular is it has a loop at the end. And I actually hook it often to the wall by this little loop and Poppy plays tug with herself with it. She really enjoys it. It's such a simple toy that I know most dog owners have never encountered. And I've seen it kind of blow people's minds.

 

You can do training with it. I love teaching a dog to sit with a flirt pole. It's a nice way to kind of teach, sit while they're sort of highly engaged and energized. I play with them and then take the toy away, wait for the dog to sit. When the dog sits, I give my, my marker word or I click and then the game recommences. And it's a lot of fun for both me and for Poppy, when we're playing with it.

 

You can absolutely make your own flirt pole. We have a nice blog post on how you can do this which I will put in the notes. Yeah, you really just need like some PVC pipe and some rope or bungee cord and a toy. The one we sell by Squishy Face is 35, 40 bucks about. It comes in two different sizes. One has a 24 inch pole. One has a 36 inch pole. Most of our clients because they live in tight, New York city spaces get the smaller one.

 

And the lure at the end has a squeaky in it. It's made of this very sturdy fabric. They used to make them out of fleece, but now it's sort of like, I dunno, sturdy grosgrain ribbon kind of fabric. What's nice about the one we carry, I think is that it the lure at the end is attached with kind of like a loop, so it can easily be taken off and you can replace it with your dog's favorite toy or whatever.

 

Seriously though, like if you have a puppy and you only are ever going to buy one toy for your dog, I would say this really should be it.

 

Also in the toy category. Number three on my list, this is a product category, not a specific product, but a have to mention Work to Eat toys. I definitely knew nothing about work to eat toys when I first got my last dog, and now I spend a major amount of time extolling the virtues of work to eat toys. It's kind of like our main category of product in our shop.

 

If you haven't heard of work to eat toys before, basically they are toys that you can feed your dog a meal in, in order to engage your dog's brain, help tire them out, make mealtime last longer. There are so many benefits of using a work to eat toy. 

 

The work to eat toy that most people are most familiar with, and that you may have heard of even if you're not a dog owner is the Kong. It's kind of like the OG work to eat toy, but not really my favorite because you can't really get like a full meal into a Kong.  Like they're great, you know, like smear some peanut butter in it and let your dog lick it out. That's fine. But I like work to eat toys that you can use at mealtime for all the reasons I just mentioned. I think it's a wonderful way to manage your dog’s energy a little bit.

 

There are lots of different kinds of work to eat toys. There are ones that work better with dry food. Some that can work with really any kind of food.  Kibble balls, I call it, are like ones that you can put dry food or treats in, and your dog bangs them around. We have a big variety of snuffle mats, which are kind of like a fleece or sometimes other fabric, but often like fleece rugs that have little spots in them that you can put treats or dry food in.

 

There are puzzle toys, particularly ones by Nina Ottosson are really awesome. These are toys that have like drawers and flaps that can be opened in order to sort of force your dog to really have to do some problem-solving to get to their food.

 

Probably the kind of work to eat toy I use the most is probably the simplest, which is a slow food bowl, or sometimes I call them bowls with stuff going on in them. These are bowls that have sort of like maze shapes in them, or little like raised areas in them. Honestly, the reason I like using them so much with my dog is it's really no harder to use one of these bowls than it is to dump her food into a regular bowl.

 

And you definitely get a lot more mileage out of one of these bowls and they really work with any kind of food, dry food, wet food, raw food, whatever. My old dog Amos was so good at these bowls that I would often freeze his food in the bowls. But with Poppy, she's not quite quite there yet. But I still use them with her for most of her meals.

 

If you're trying to figure out which work to eat toy to start off with, we actually recently made a little quiz, which you can get to at schoolforthedogs.com/wte for work to eat, that you can take to see which might be most appropriate for your dog. But I am a big fan of all the ones that we carry at storeforthedogs.com, in our actual shop. We have product tested through the years extensively and I feel great about our current selection of work to eat toys.

 

And we probably suggest that anyone have like maybe three or four work to eat toys that can be used for a full meal for your dog, so that you can rotate them out. So your dog doesn't get too bored. I have a lot more than three or four, four for Poppy, but I mean, obviously start with one that your dog likes, but I would aim to get maybe four in your collection.

 

There are some DIY hacks where you can sort of make your own work to eat toy. One of my favorite make it yourself toys is simply using a muffin tin or an ice cube tray and dribbling some dry food in one of those, for a dog, either right-side up or upside down to force your dog to have to navigate the convex or concave areas with their tongue.

 

And you can make DIY snuffle mat by simply getting a string mop, get a clean string mop head, put it on the ground, get some dry food treats, whatever, and put it in the folds of the string mop. Just make sure your dog doesn't eat the strings of the, of the mop, of course.

 

The fourth product that has really been indispensable in my life with Poppy so far has been a grass patch. We do not carry grass patches. I will put a link to the company that we've been using, which is called Doggie Lawn in the show notes. It is an affiliate link. There are other companies too that I have not tested, so I can't really vouch for one company versus another.

 

But there are, perhaps surprisingly, there are a bunch of companies now that will deliver you anywhere between, I dunno, like two and eight square feet of sod that you can use indoors for your dog to pee or poop on.

 

I have been getting an eight foot square piece of sod delivered. I think weekly now, I think we started out with every other week and went up to weekly because it started to smell after about a week and we keep it in a corner of our bedroom. So I did not want to be smelling those smells.

 

But it's been a really nice alternative to using wee wee pads. And it's been a lifesaver because as I've mentioned, I think I did a whole podcast episode on house training Poppy. It's been a struggle to get her out on the street as much as is necessary in order to really house train her. We do have kind of a rooftop area that she goes out on all the time and she does pee and poop out there. She does have a walker, so she does get outside for a good walk at least once a day. 

 

But we realized we did need some kind of indoor option and the grass has been nice because, you know, it's also conditioning her to go on grass, which is ultimately going to be an okay thing.  I'd rather her learn to be going on grass than to be learning to go on a wee wee pad. Cause I think a wee wee  pad is more likely to make her feel like going on people's rugs or carpets in the longterm is an okay thing.

 

She mostly uses it for pee sometimes she'll poop on it. But it's been, it's been really helpful. I think I spent about 30 bucks a week on it, which is not nothing, however, $30 would be the cost in New York City of hiring, for many companies, hiring a dog walker to walk her one time. So in the scheme of things, it is a pretty good value and I think most dogs take to going on grass pretty easily. So there's not a big learning curve there.

 

Again, I don't think this is a necessary product for every puppy owner. But it has certainly made a big difference in our lives. And quite frankly, aesthetically, I don't mind having this little grassy area in my bedroom as much as I probably would mind having wee pads in my bedroom, which kind of remind me of like flat diapers, or remind me of, I don't know, hospitals or something. The grass doesn't really bother me as long as it doesn't smell.

 

The fifth must have thing on my list is a liquid treat dispenser. We carry a bunch of different kinds of treats that come into hubs at our store. But the thing that I use the most is the one that we refer to specifically as our liquid treat dispenser. It's basically just a little tube. I've seen people use the same tube to transport everything from, I don't know, shampoo to salad dressing. It's a sort of stout little silicone thing with a nice cap on it.

 

It's a great way to give a dog a treat without getting your hands yucky. You just shove it in their face and let them have a lick. You can fill it with peanut butter, cream cheese, liverwurst. You can even put a dog's full meal in it if you're giving your dog wet food. Although usually I suggest people get like a camping tube, which you can get on Amazon if you're going to give something more substantial like that.

 

But I usually fill up mine with peanut butter. I order from this company Thrive, which maybe some of you have heard of. They have their own brand of a hundred percent natural peanut butter that itself actually comes in a tube. So sometimes I just use that tube, that non reusable tube itself with Poppy.

 

But more often than not, cause the mouth of that tube is pretty large, I'll just squeeze the one tube into my handy liquid treat dispenser and have that on me, especially when we're outside, so that I can be ready to to give her a treat when I want to work on her socialization, when I want her to feel good about whatever is around. Lots of times when having some kind of lickable treat is useful. And I think this little tube that we carry is a real lifesaver.

 

Sixth thing on my list is a bully stick holder, particularly the Bully Grip. A few months ago, I interviewed the woman who invented the Bully Grip, which is like this hockey puck sized and shaped thing in which you can stick a bully stick and it really is pretty genius. It makes it so your dog cannot eat that little last bit of the bully stick that they can too easily swallow and can get stuck in their intestines.

 

I have been using, I never really worried about my old dog Amos eating the end of the bully stick. He, I guess he just kind of would lose interest by the time it got down that small, but you know, Poppy would, would definitely eat it if given the choice. So this holder has been a major life saver. We do carry it. We also carry bully sticks, but you can get bully sticks in bulk from bestbullysticks.com or Value pet supplies or Bully Sticks Direct. Those are kind of my go-to places for bully sticks.

 

There are several kinds of holders on the market. This is the simplest and so far in my opinion, best one. And I've definitely been using these with Poppy pretty much every day. I've also been giving her braided bully sticks which do not fit into one of these holders. But I find the braided bully sticks tend to last a lot longer. I just have to be careful to take it away when it gets down to its end because I cannot fit it in any kind of holder.

 

So if Vaso who created the Bully Grip, if you're listening and you want to create something that can be used with the braided bully stick one day, I would certainly buy that product.

 

Product number seven is a product called the Klimb. K L I M B. And this is definitely something that, and if you're not a dog trainer, you probably have not encounter countered. It's simply like a square platform made out of pretty heavy duty plastic with removable legs. And we use these all the time at School for the Dogs, with our students.

 

But I also really like having one at home because it's great to have a very specific training spot, like spot where I can work with Poppy, that is a little bit elevated which helps keep her focused, helps keep her attention, sort of like helps designate it as like in a different dimension from something flat as like, this is a place where we are doing training. She loves her Klimb. She will go and run and hop onto it. And I find it just an excellent way to control space while we are training.

 

It is on the kind of expensive side. We carry them for $175.  And I know that when I first saw it, I was like, this seems like something someone could make themselves, why spend $175 on it?  But so, I dunno, I guess if I knew someone super handy, I would have them make me a similar version I guess, but it is pretty nice in that it's not that heavy and it's easily transportable. It definitely does its job well.

 

Although, like I said, it's a little bit, it does seem sort of silly in that it's basically just like a very low table. So depending on how creative and handy you are, maybe you could make your own version of this.

 

There are other kinds of platforms out there made specifically for dog training, some are made with different materials. I'm sure some of them are great. I haven't really experimented with a lot of them as this is like the one that we use at School for the Dogs.

 

I guess like the simplest alternative to it would simply be having a yoga mat, especially, I like getting a cheap yoga mat that I can cut down into smaller pieces. As that too can be sort of a designated training spot for a dog. Even if it isn't really raised up on the ground.  But I think it's super useful to have what we call a sticky spot, a training spot, a portable classroom. If you can get something like the Klimb that's, you know, maybe eight inches off the ground or so all the better.

 

Another nice thing about the Klimb is because the legs do come off, you can put it lower to the ground or higher to the ground. And at School for the Dogs, because we have a bunch of them sometimes we'll, depending on the size of the dog and what we're doing, we'll stack a bunch of them together which can be useful as well.  They're modular in that way. One will hook to another.

 

So definitely think that if you have the room in your budget and the space, it is a good purchase that also, again, will last you most the lifetime of your dog.  They're pretty sturdy things.

 

Product number eight is a treat pouch. And specifically, I love having a French hinge treat pouch. This is a treat pouch that will sort of snap open and stay open and then easily snap closed. I have tried many a treat pouch in my time, and there are lots that I like, but we have our School for the Dogs treat pouches made by a longtime friend of School for the Dogs, Mimi Reed in Petaluma, California.

 

She hand makes these lovely pouches that have this French hinge feature as well as other handy-dandy pockets. And I'm just a big fan of them. They're again, very sturdy. And I like that it can stay open if I need it to be open or it can be closed if I need it to be closed.

 

And the treat pouch, it's such a simple thing, but when you are working on training a dog, especially in the beginning, I think it's quite valuable to have good stuff on you at all times. And if you're trying to get stuff in your pockets or carrying around Ziploc bags, you are just not going to get as far as if you have a specific spot on your body to be carrying treats. So certainly any treat pouch or, or even just like a good old belly bag is better than no treat pouch.

 

However, if you are going to put in the money to buy a treat pouch, this is the one that I would get.  Again, I'll link to it in the show notes. We do carry other kinds of treat pouches, which I do also use. Particularly I used, we have one by the company Wildebeest that I like and another that's like a little silicone pouch, but those are both nice in that you can just kind of like hook them to your belt.

 

Whereas the French hinge one that we carry that's made by Mimi is like a full on thing that you wear around your waist, like a belly bag and has the added benefits, like I said, of a pocket that you can put your phone in and whatever. But yeah, sometimes you just want something small that you can just clip onto to your belt or whatever.

 

And I also, a few months ago, I interviewed the woman who designed Ruffwear’s new treat pouch, which is a very cool treat pouch. But that one I use more like if I'm going out partially because I just think it looks a little bit less obviously like a treat pouch than the normal treat pouch I use. And it has lots of different areas for carrying my wallet, my phone, my keys, whatever, poop bags.

 

But like when I'm just training Poppy at home, or I just want to have something on like around the house, or we're in a class or whatever, I tend to like the French hinge one better, as the Ruffwear — I think it's called the home trail hip pack –Ruffwear pouch, as nice as it is, doesn't stay open. It has a zipper closure, which I find a little bit less convenient.

 

Number nine on my list is a hands free leash. I think it is so, so, so useful in so many situations to not have your hand occupied holding a leash. Iit's such a simple thing that can make a big difference for so many dog owners. It's incredibly freeing to be able to use both hands while you are walking with your dog, especially while you are trying to socialize your dog, condition your dog to feeling good about being out on the street, while you're trying to teach your dog how and where you want your dog to walk while you're outside.  Having both hands unoccupied is huge.

 

The hands-free leash I use most is the Found My Animal leash, which is a very simple, just very long rope leash that has a locking carabiner on each side.  And you can attach it around your waist. You can even throw it over your shoulder kind of like you'd wear like a pocket book or something.

 

You can also hook it to your treat pouch. Both the treat pouches I just mentioned the one by rough where, and the French hinge one that we carry have spots on them where you can cook on a carabiner.  You can certainly just use like a regular long leash with a carabiner or some kind of clip at the end and hook that to your treat pouch or to your belt or whatever.

 

Lately, because I'm hugely pregnant. I've been using my, found my animal leash like thrown over my shoulder and then attaching another leash to that leash which works quite well, and keeps my hands free so that I can manage walking down the street with both a dog and a toddler or a dog and a stroller.

 

There's a brand out there called Buddy System that I've had clients use. We also carry something also by Squishy Face, the company that makes the flirt pole that's like a leash belt that you can wear around your waist and then attach the leash to that. But this is certainly something that you can make on your own pretty easily with just a good sturdy clip and one, or perhaps two leashes.

 

Try it out. I think you will find it changes your walks with your dog substantially. Another reason is because it like creates a very fixed zone for your dog to learn to walk in. Whereas when you have a leash in your hand, your arm changes changes size, depending on how you're bending your elbow which can change the allowable radius your dog can walk in. Whereas if your dog is attached more like at your waist, your dog's gonna get used to a more fixed area.

 

The last thing on my list today is a product I've probably mentioned on the podcast before. I am a big fan of it and have been for a long, long time. It's the Treat and Train, which is a remote controlled treat dispenser that sits on the floor, or you can sit it on top of a crate. It works, you can use it for a distance of up to about 30 or 40 feet.

 

And I love this thing. There are, in the last few years, there've been a bunch of fancy food and treat dispenser dispensers that have hit the market. Many of them have cameras, or it could be used with Bluetooth. I have tested out many of these, and I don't like any of them nearly as much as I like the Treat and Train, which is a lot less expensive than a lot of the other similar, more complex products on the market. 

 

You hit a button and a little gear turns and a piece of kibble or a couple pieces of kibble or dry food come out of this thing. And I use it all the time for so many reasons. I mean, I could go on and on about different, fun ways to use the Treat and Train to the extent that I think it might be deserving of its own episode. So maybe I'll devote next week's episode to to this little gadget.

 

It's something you can use when you're working on separation anxiety, but it's also something you can use if you just want to do training without getting your hands dirty, literally, because all you gotta do is push a button. I can fill the whole thing with a meals worth of dry food and deliver treats to Poppy that way when we're training.

 

And something we do a lot of with Poppy, especially in the colder months, you know, she's a young dog, lot of energy, like I said, we're not getting her out on lots of long walks every day, which I think, you know, young dogs need to be running. So one way that we've been getting some of her energy out is putting the Treat and Train on one side of our apartment and training with her on the other side of the apartment.  The device makes a beeping noise when you press the button. And so she runs back and forth.

 

It could be as simple as teaching a dog to go to the mat on one side of the room and then dispensing the treat on the other side of the room to get them to run a little bit without having to leave your home.

 

My daughter loves to use it with her. Again, it's just as simple as pushing a button. We actually have two so I can sort of teach her to go to one spot or another spot.  Again so many fun ways to use it. I will maybe talk about this more, sometime soon.

 

Worth mentioning that there is another product that I do, like called the Pet Tutor. That is a more recent, definitely more or fancier device, I should say, the Treat and Train, which we actually don't carry right now either in our shop or in our online store, I will include a link to it in the show notes. The Treat and Train costs usually around $100-$120.

 

The Pet tutor is more like $300 or $400.  It's a similar device in that it does similar things, but you can use it with more types of food. You can use it with wet food. It also can be operated from your phone. You can use it with different toys so that like when your dog engages with like a Kong wobbler, for example, you put like the remote in the Kong wobbler, and when your dog engages with the Kong wobbler, the thing dispenses, you can hook it onto the crate.

 

It has a lot more features. And I do like it, but I have found the Treat and Train to be a sturdier device, just like fewer parts, simpler to use, less expensive. I would suggest trying the treat and train and if you like it and want to experiment remote dispensers to maybe then try the pet tutor.  But it is something that I think is both useful and fun. And there are so many ways that you can use it in training.

 

And like I said, I think it's actually a particularly fun thing to use when training with kids. It kind of takes a lot of the static out of the equation because nobody is actually having to deliver the treats by hand.  It's coming out of the, the little robot device on the floor.

 

All right. I hope maybe you've learned about some products you wouldn't have known about before, and if you try any of these things out and you love them or hate them, I'd be interested in hearing about it. One place you can share is in our news community app, you can get there by going to SchoolfortheDogs.com/community. It is free. And there are some coupons actually there I think to some of the products that I have mentioned.

 

But you can also email me annie@schoolforthedogs.com. If there is a product that you have found incredibly useful, and maybe you think other people don't know about it, maybe we could carry it in our shop. I love having things that are well-made and that people find indispensable, that have been tested on our dog students, and dog listeners. So do let me know if there is something that you and your dog are really into. Alright, thanks for being here.
