Training is an essential part of owning a dog and can be started at any age. Training builds confidence, provides mental stimulation, and strengthens the human-animal bond. Dogs are always learning, and it is never too late to start training.
Dogs that have anxiety or more timid personalities can benefit from training. It provides a sense of accomplishment and provides a way for us to communicate with our four-legged family members. This strengthens the bond we have with our dogs through positive attention.
The preferred method of training is positive reinforcement, which consists of rewarding your dog for doing something “right.” Rewards can be tasty treats, a favorite toy, or praise. Training methods that use punishment can cause the “bad” behavior to get worse or even lead to aggression.

When training a dog, there are several pieces of equipment that can be helpful in facilitating the process. Here are some of the most commonly recommended items:
- Collar or Harness: Every dog needs a collar or harness, which can be used to hold identification in case the dog is lost and can play an important role in dog training. A flat collar or martingale collar is perfect for positive reinforcement dog training.
- Leash: Leashes are another must-have item for dog training. A standard six-foot lead is recommended for training, and retractable leashes should be avoided as they only teach your dog that it’s okay to wander at will.
- Clicker: A clicker is a small device that makes a distinct clicking sound when pressed, which can be used to mark desired behaviors during training. To start training with a clicker, click it once, then immediately give your dog a treat. As long as your dog does not seem startled by the clicker sound, focus on marking a simple behavior (such as your dog turning and looking at you) and follow it with a treat.
- Treats: Treats are an essential part of positive reinforcement training, as they can be used to reward desired behaviors. Just make sure to use treats that your dog really loves so they are incentivized to perform the task at hand.
- Treat Pouch: A treat pouch can be used to hold treats during training sessions, making them easily accessible and allowing you to keep your hands free.
- Training Targets: Training targets are objects that can be used to teach your dog to touch or interact with a specific item. They can be helpful in teaching basic cues like “Sit,” “Stay,” and “Come”
- Training Mat: A training mat can be used to create a designated space for your dog to practice behaviors like “Stay” and “Place”.
In addition to these items, there are several other pieces of equipment that some owners may find helpful, such as a crate, a muzzle, and more.
However, it’s important to avoid aversive tools that will cause your pet pain or distress, such as prong or choke collars.
