Just because they're small doesn’t mean they're easy. Small dogs often have big personalities — and training them takes the same commitment and consistency as with larger breeds.
Too often, they’re given cheap, plastic pet shop gear that doesn’t support real dog training. But small dogs deserve real working tools scaled for their size — just like their larger cousins.
Quick tips for success:
- Leash manners – Use a short slip lead or lightweight leash to guide them gently and reward loose-leash walking often.
- Recall – Practice with a Mini Long Line to create safe distance and build trust gradually.
- Toy motivation – Small dogs love prey-based play! Use a Fluffy Flirt Pole or Fluffy Tug Toy to spark drive and attention.
With the right tools and approach, even the tiniest dogs can train like pros.
All of our gear is handmade in Australia using high-quality materials, designed for control and comfort — no matter the size.
