General Behavior and Management
- One of my favorite online stores for interactive toys, run by a colleague, is Yourmannerlymutt.com. She is the only one in the US to stock some of these toys, and she has the most amazing variety of options!
- Cleanrun.com has THE BEST tug toys ever. Most of these are not to be left with your dog as they will be easily destroyed, but they will help you keep a good grip on your toy, and help keep your dog's mouth away from your hands.
- Have you ever wondered what kinds of treats I use and recommend? I primarily use Stella and Chewy's Lamb Meal Mixers (I use the lamb specifically because it doesn't crumble as much as the other proteins). I also have used and really like Ziwipeak Dog Cuisine. They have a few different protein options that all work well.
