Im a little behind but I am currently training my one year old Australian shepherd and here's some tools you gotta have
If you want an efficient training session you gotta have a treat bag that you can clip on to your side. This one is just a treat pouch. There are plenty others that have pockets and waste bags on them as well
ETIAL Dog Treat Pouch, Portable Training Bag
When you're training you want small soft treats that are easily digestible. Both my pups love these but there are sooo many options for you.

Clickers are suchhh a useful tool when training your pup, especially if they are good motivated. Watch a quick YouTube video on clickers and you will see the results

Grooming
I have aussies and grooming is pretty important. We send them to a groomer every other month but we have some at home necessities.
When you have a long haired dog you have dog brushed galore but I like to finish brushing with a comb like this. I feel like it smooths their coat nicely.

The undercoat rake is a game changer during shedding season and this one comes with a comb as well and for $10 you can’t beat it
Pet Grooming Brush and Metal Comb Combo, Blue
In your dog brush arsenal you gotta have a slicker brush. This is a great cost efficient option.

I cannot recommend a nail grinder over a nail clipper enough. I am no pro at grooming and one time I clipped my dogs nail a little too far back and it was the worst day. I don't have to worry about that with a grinder. It's just so much better.

Toys
If you ask my dogs this is the most important part
My dogs like a good old tennis ball as much as any other dogs but they go NUTS for these squeaky tennis balls

We have so many different variations of lamb chop in my household it's crazy. So when it comes to lambchop, if you know you know 😂

I think this is the chew bone that my dogs fight over the most! It’s flavored and they go crazy

Clean up 🧼🫧
Cleaning up your space comes with the territory of being a pet parent.
This little machine is a tank. You need a spot cleaner for any sort of accidents

Every time I bust this little tool out I am shocked by how well it really works
Pet Hair Remover, Deep Cleaning Dog Cat Hair
I know as good as anyone that you can become nose blind to the smell of your home. And with big dogs it’s likely to happen sooner than other pets. Every once in awhile I sprinkle this on the carpets and vacuum it up. Works wonders.
