Food Rolls - Red Barn
Click Here to Visit Red Barn's Amazon Store... Lots of variety to choose from
Why we recommend: We have been using the Beef flavor as training treats for many years and they seem to be palatable for most dogs... the best part is that we rarely notice any digestive issues because it's a 'new food'
Food Rolls - Happy Howie's
Click Here to Visit Happy Howie's Amazon Store... Lots of variety to choose from
Why we recommend: Even though it's a bit more expensive than Red Barn, these treats have a more compact nature, which means the pieces stay together and you'll have fewer crumbs everywhere

Crate (Indoor Kennel)
Why we recommend: 2 doors, 2 latches, large enough to fit most dogs, and includes a divider to customize the size until your puppy is fully grown
Exercise Pen ("x-pen")
MidWest Homes for Pets Foldable Metal Dog Exercise Pen / Pet Playpen. Black w/ door, 24'W x 30'H
Why we recommend: multiple configurations, folds down for storage/travel, tall enough for most puppies and short enough the for average person to step over if needed
Gates (walk-through, step-over, etc.)
Why we recommend: good height for most dogs, may still allow your cats to jump over it, easier for guests to work the latch

Tuffy Toys
Luda's Indoor Favorite - "Sheepy"
Luda's Outdoor Favorite - "Football"
Click Here to Visit Tuffy's Amazon Store... Lots of variety to choose from
Why we recommend: Tuffy has a 'tuffy scale' that tells you how durable each of their toys are... after 15 years of boarding dogs, we know which ones hold up long-term!
Jolly Balls
Click Here to Visit Jolly Pet's Amazon Store... Lots of variety to choose from
Why we recommend: We have been providing these 6" balls (and the 10" ones - not shown) to our board & train dogs for 15 years... most dogs like them, they stay outside year-round, and they still last for years
