TOUGH TUG TOYS (INTERNET/CANADA)
For those high powered dogs, there is nothing like Crash Test Toys!!
Flyball dogs LOVE these tugs! They are super tough and come in a
large variety of shapes and sizes. You can even get tugs made with
real fur to motivate those "terrier types". These are popular
motivational toys used in a variety of sports like Agility and Flyball as
a reward game. GREAT for teaching a motivational recall!! I used
them for training my search & rescue dog - they were his reward for
finding the lost subject. These are high quality tugs - very strong and
VERY affordable! The tugs shown are only $15. Other tugs on the
site are less than $7. Looking for a fun toy? Consider these! Click

HIGH QUALITY LEATHER LEADS
(INTERNET/DOG SHOWS)
I love these soft braided leather leads! The colors are
wonderful and the leather is very soft and easy on your
hands. These are not leads that can take chewing - so be
mindful. You can choose your custom color leather and
have it braided into various length leads. These are not
inexpensive leads - my 4' purple lead runs $40. They are
worth every penny if you are going to be walking your dog
regularly. The soft braided buffalo leather means that
there is no "break-in" time like with most leathers. Click on
the photo to be taken to the Stibbar Store.
