Dog Grooming in Bend
Treats
High-value treats are one of the most effective tools in dog training because they tap into your dog’s strongest motivators. Keep in mind dogs like novelty so I always have a variety of treats and different protein sources. Fig & Tyler treats are 100% meat or fish and dogs love them.

Tug Toys
Clean Run, carries over 300 tugs, remote treat dispensers, agility equipment and more. Here are some of my favorite treat/toys, they come in different sizes and with or without handles. All hold treats. I like a tail if it's hard for your dog to reset after getting the treat.
Lotus Ball medium size - no tail
Treat Hugger with tail
Tug-E-Nuff has some of my favorite tugs with a ball on the end. If you have a super tugger I like the short handles. For dogs who don't pull super hard I like the longer bungee handles.
Fauxtastic PowerBall Bungee Tug - long handle
Pocket PowerBall Bungee Tug - short handle
