The Humane Society of Boulder Valley recommends the following training tools:

• Food rewards for good behavior (soft, small, yummy treats, including Natural Balance food roll, hot dogs, cheese, baby food)
• Favorite dog toys, including tennis balls and squeaky toys
• Lots of praise, love and attention for good behavior
• Treat bags for easy delivery of rewards (and to keep your clothes clean)
• Clickers to communicate exactly which behavior earned your dog the reward
• SENSE-ation™ Harness (or other pain-free no-pull harness) to immediately end on-leash pulling
• Gentle Leader Head Halter TM for additional on-leash control
