Obedience

Obedience is the foundation of every dog sport and of everyday teamwork. Training it rests on two pillars: precise information for the dog and strong motivation to work. This category gathers gear that serves both.

On the precision side you'll find prong collars, fur saver chains and collars by Herman Sprenger - the German brand with over 150 years of tradition and a reference point across the whole industry. On the motivation side there are dumbbells (wooden, nylon and sport versions with a metal rod), bite tugs, balls on a string and Raddog and Euro Joe training leashes. It's a set that takes a dog from its first commands to competition-level exercises.

The right choice depends on the dog's size and the training goal - kit for a sport trial is put together differently from gear for calm everyday work. A dumbbell is chosen by weight to suit the dog's build, a prong collar by neck thickness.
