TOOLS
NOTE: You do not need to purchase all of these tools. It is simply a compiled list of tools you may be asked to purchase if you don’t already own them, and/or I have recommended them as a part of your dogs personalized training program.
I will provide your dog with the proper tools and bill them with training. You will never be charged for anything without being notified by me via phone call.
Please be sure you agree with our Training Philosophy and Tools beforehand.
All tools are exceptionally humane and proven to stop unwanted behaviors, enforce wanted behavior and, most importantly, empowering YOU, the owners, to excel at handling your dogs in any and all situations life may throw your way!
the good dog way

This is mandatory homework reading for owners of Board & Train dogs at All Dogs Balanced Training.
The Good Dog Way can be purchased in paperback, audio book or e-reader form (or a package deal of all 3 options)
E-Collar Technologies
Remote Training Collar
The specific collar price and type may vary depending on the size and behavior issues of the dog. I will provide your dog with the e-collar and bill it with training.
In general the ET300 Collar Mini Educator 1/2 Mile Remote Dog Trainer (pictured left) will be the recommended collar to purchase.
Why might you need a different collar than the standard recommended ET300?
Your dog is very small or large in size, extra stubborn or sensitive, serious behavior modification training, you own multiple dogs or will be adding another dog to the family in the near future, owners who are Left Handed may prefer the longer remote style/shape of the (EZ-900 Easy Educator 1/2 Mile Remote Dog Trainer)
Herm Sprenger Prong Collar
We use 2.25mm and 3.0mm prong sizes depending on the size and hair length of the dog. I will provide your dog with the proper prong collar and bill it with the training. (Extra links may need to be purchased as well.)
(Approximately $6-$10 per set of 3 extra links) (Hypoallergenic metals and a dark grey/black color are also available)
Biothane 15’ Long line
15’ 3/8th inch water/dirt proof long line.
K&H Pet Cot
Prices vary with sizes depending on your dog. You can also purchase a K&H Pet Cot Comfort Pad if your dog prefers/needs a more padded surface.
6’ nylon or leather leash
4’-6’ Nylon and Leather leads Only Please.
No bungee or flexi-leads.
Crate
Prices and Sizes vary depending on the size of dog. Your dog may require a different type or specialty crate depending on size and certain behavioral tendencies. I will inform you of the specific size, number of doors (1 or 2) ect that your dog needs. (Of course the training will cover these behavioral issues. However, some dogs do better in more enclosed crates with less visibility. Some stronger dogs need heavier duty built crates.)
If you would like advice on choices of crate pads/beds to purchase I am happy to recommend a few options.
Slip Lead
Not all dogs will need a slip lead. If a slip lead is beneficial for your dogs personalized training and recommended for purchase, I will provide one and bill it with the training.
