I’m a pretty big dog person. I have two rescue dogs who I love more than life itself and I’ve been known to stop and say hi to every dog I pass on the street. When it comes to loving on pets, I’m a pro, but I struggle when it comes to discipline. Obedience classes can be pricey so if you’re trying to train your puppy at home, you’ll want a few of these 35 genius things that make dogs behave so much better. Trust me, you’ll wish you got them sooner.
My older dog Nala is too smart for her own good. She so desperately thinks she’s a human and wants to communicate with us, so we got her a set of customizable buttons with custom, prerecorded commands. Now she just hits the “potty” button whenever she needs to go outside. If buttons aren’t your dog’s thing, I’ve included other tools to help you better communicate with your pet. You’ll see a pet doorbell, a book that will help you understand your canine’s psychology, and a clicker that rewards your pet when they’re behaving. These affordable picks make training and understanding your dog a little easier.
For my younger dog, Micah, he’s as anxious as they come. He hates thunderstorms, loud trucks, moving furniture, and being away from me. To soothe his anxieties, we’ve put him in a Thunder Jacket (included on this list), which acts like a hug, calming him to sleep. I’ve also included melatonin tablets for dogs, calming chews, and comforting toys that will make your nervous pet feel safe.
I’d go to the ends of the Earth for my dogs and they deserve the best. Trust me, introducing a few of these tools in your training journey will make things easier for both you and your dog. You’ll wish you ordered these products a lot sooner.
