Adolescence is a long developmental stage that begins when the sensitive socialization period ends and puppyhood comes to a close. Some dogs mature well before the age of two, while for others the process takes significantly longer. This long teenage phase can be filled with...

Even though puppy owners often fear making mistakes, very few things in puppy life actually fall apart because of one or even several individual mistakes. Problems usually arise because, with the best intentions, people try to do too much, too quickly and in too many...
A dog’s shyness and fears can stem from many factors, including insufficient early-life experiences, genetic traits or unpleasant incidents. Fears also tend to generalize easily and most of them worsen over time, especially if nothing is done to address them. Whenever we talk about fearfulness...
In the previous article we discussed rewards and timing. Another fundamental pillar of training is the level of requirement, also known as the criterion, and the rate of reinforcement. These two are closely connected. The criterion directly affects the reinforcement rate and the reinforcement rate...

If you do not have something your dog wants, training becomes impossible. If you reward your dog at the wrong moment, the dog learns the wrong thing. Reward and timing therefore form the foundation of training. Their importance and role are present every single time...
When a new puppy arrives in a home where there are already other dogs, it is important to move through the introductions a little too slowly rather than rushing things. This is especially important if the older dog in the family is not particularly fond...
Species-typical behaviour is often the most rewarding thing for a dog — and this is exactly why teaching recall can be challenging. Playing with another dog, sniffing the ground or chasing a rabbit are all examples of highly rewarding, natural behaviours for dogs. In every...

Dogs are learning all the time — whether we intend to teach them or not. Learning doesn’t happen only during structured training sessions. That’s why it’s worth observing how your dog behaves in everyday situations and considering how those moments could be used as part...
Dog breeds have been developed for a wide variety of tasks, and different working roles require different traits from a dog. As a result, every dog has a certain energy level that is influenced by both breed and individual genetics. A dog’s original purpose —...

SportWarmer dog jacket – The perfect companion for active dogs For dog owners who take their pets seriously — whether in canicross, trail running, agility, obedience, or outdoor training — the weather can often be the biggest challenge. Wind, rain, and sudden chills can limit...
Author Kirsi Liikanen, 7 November 2019 Even the best of training cannot succeed if the foundation it is built on is not a solid one. Ideally, a dog’s foundational skills should be built strong when the dog is a puppy, but it’s never too late to work...

Author Marika Kuoppala, 2 June 2017 In my work as a canine massage therapist, I constantly hear dog owners fret about not being able to spot changes in their dog’s behaviour, movement, etc. early on, only noticing problems when they get bad enough to really...
Author Sari Paavilainen, 30 May 2017 Dreaming of a new puppy usually involves picturing a rosy future with a beautifully behaved dog. Often, however, as that heady puppy smell vanishes, the rose-coloured glasses come off and the challenges start setting in. Your cute youngster pulls...
I love this backpack! This is huge and I think it can hold all the necessary training equipment (I mainly do obedience). There are enough pockets here and I especially like that there is a pocket for dirty items at the bottom of the backpack and a pocket for small items (e.g. a clicker or keys). The best part is that this backpack is really comfortable to carry even if it is full of stuff and heavy!
I absolutely love my jacket! 🤩 It is breathable and so comfortable! It has perfect pockets and I think I look good wearing it. I will use it on both dog walks and dog trainings and on non dog activities too. 😊 Best jacket ever!
I ordered the pink one and it is absolutely wonderful! I got mine quickly after making the order and have been using it ever since. I would never go back to the various carrier bags that I used to lug to training and competition venues. Now I can just wear this on my back, take the crate in one hand and the dog in the other, without having to make several trips back to the car. So easy! So far, I’ve only taken the bag to one competition, but it seems to be really well made and of high quality!
This bag was bigger than I expected: it can easily fit all my training gear and then some! Even though it’s large, it’s also really comfortable to carry as a backpack. It seems very sturdy and easy to clean, and I like how durable the zippers feel. The movable dividers in the main compartment are very handy for keeping the gear for different dog sports from getting mixed up. I also like the pockets designed for documents, clickers and other small items, and the roomy outside pocket where I can keep my training shoes. The colours are nice and bright, and the reflectors are also really good!
I love this backpack! I’ve had it for a week now and don’t know what I’d do without it. I already had the ProPack bag, but I really like being able to quickly grab the backpack and only take what I need. And the backpack also holds so much stuff – it’s surprisingly spacious! I can organise my things in different compartments so everything has its place. I particularly like the shoe compartment, which I use to store all the dirty and damp gear after training to keep everything else nice and clean on the way home. This backpack is a must-have!
Now that we have this, we’ll never go back to anything else. The only thing to decide now is what colour to get next, because I need one for myself as well!
This is the perfect training bag! The bag is large and spacious. You can easily fit the materials for two obedience class 3 courses. The bag have many pockets and dividers that make it easy to keep things organized. The biggest advantage however is that you can carry it like a backpack – so much better for your back.
This is a fantastic training vest, and I’m so glad I bought it! It’s breathable and unbelievably light to wear. Thanks to its great stretch, I can move freely. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about this vest, only great things. 🙂
Love it! This training jacket is one that you really want to wear. It doesn’t make you sweat, it doesn’t chafe and it doesn’t feel tight. I’ve worn it for a couple of walks and a couple of training sessions now, and I totally recommend it. Extra points for the back pocket, which can hold so many toys and leashes!
This jacket is the best! The elasticity of the fabric is wonderful, and the jacket fits our border collie really well. I also love that it is waterproof. It covers all the big muscles well and keeps my dog nice and warm.
I also ordered the ProWarmer jacket and have been extremely happy with it, too.
I love this training jacket! I’ve been wearing it for a week now, and it’s the only thing I ever want to wear again. It’s extremely comfortable and has a premium feel. There’s lots of room in the pockets for collars, leashes, phone and keys, and I’ve even put a small water bottle in my pocket on a run. I also like that the pockets are deep enough to prevent anything from falling out when I’m training.
What can I say: this was my best buy ever! Thanks to this vest, dog training just got a whole lot more comfortable. 🙂 Warmly recommended!
The fit and fabric of this jacket are ridiculously good, making it by far the best jacket ever! Although the jacket is amazingly lightweight, it keeps my dog perfectly dry in the autumn rain.
This training jacket is absolutely lovely! In fact, I also wear it for walks and other outdoor activities – both with and without my dog – because it is just so super comfortable. The fabric is so soft that you hardly notice you’re wearing a jacket. The pockets have room for everything I need and more, so I no longer have to struggle with where to put my phone, keys, dog treats, poop bags and leashes when I take the dogs out. Not in a million years would I exchange this for any other jacket!
