5 Essential Tools Every Dog Trainer Swears By

Training your dog isn’t just about patience and consistency—it’s about having the right tools to get the job done.
As a dog trainer myself, I know firsthand how much easier and more effective the process can be when you’ve got gear that’s built to perform.

At PK9 Gear, we’re proud to offer high-quality, Australian-made training equipment that’s designed to be tough, reliable, and practical. Here are five must-have tools that every dog trainer should have in their toolkit—gear I trust and use myself.

 1. Leash

A dependable leash is fundamental for effective communication and control during training sessions. Our PK9 Super Grip 6ft Dog Training Leash hand-made right here in Australia, this leash is built with a super grip handle for better control and comfort. It’s tough enough to handle even the most intense training sessions, making it a go-to for both new and experienced trainers.

2. Training Collar

A well-designed collar is essential for guiding your dog through training with confidence and control. The PK9 Tab Slip Collar combines exceptional durability with comfort, making it ideal for active training scenarios. Made from premium climbing rope and grip webbing, it’s easy to clean and built to withstand tough conditions. Designed for a secure fit, this collar ensures reliability and performance in every training session.

3. Poo Bags

Every responsible trainer knows that cleaning up after your dog is non-negotiable, whether you’re at the park, on a trail, or in a training session. Poo bags are an essential tool to maintain a clean and respectful environment for everyone. 

4. Treat Pouch – Ideally Filled with Treats

Positive reinforcement is key to effective dog training, and the PK9 Dog Treat Pouch makes it simple. With a single, easy-to-access compartment, it’s perfect for storing treats during training sessions, so you can reward your dog quickly and effectively.

5. Long Line Leash

For training commands like recall and allowing safe exploration, a long line leash is invaluable. Our PK9 10m with 1/2" width Biothane Long Line is perfect for recall, tracking, and nose work. Handmade with premium Biothane, it offers durability and flexibility, ensuring it performs exceptionally well in various training scenarios. 

Having the right tools from PK9 Gear can make training easier and more effective. Our gear is built to handle the demands of active dogs and trainers, so you can count on it to perform every session.
