Terms of Service

Welcome to Dog Training Spot. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About This Site

Dog Training Spot covers the equipment side of living with a dog that pulls, barks, bolts or will not settle. We publish long-form, hands-on reviews and step-by-step guides across five categories of training and behavior gear: no-pull harnesses, long training lines, bark collars, puzzle feeders and slow bowls, and calming supplements. Everything here is written from the perspective of an in-home trainer working with ordinary owners and ordinary dogs, which means we spend as much time on who a product is wrong for as on who should buy it. No piece of equipment trains a dog on its own, and we say so.

Affiliate Disclosure

Dog Training Spot is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an Amazon link in our content and purchase a qualifying product, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Training Safety

No collar, harness or head halter is escape proof. A frightened dog can back out of almost any front-clip harness, and hardware fails: check stitching, clips and D-rings before every walk, and replace anything with a bent snap or a frayed strap rather than getting one more month out of it.

A long line is a distance tool, not a leash. Used on a flat collar it can cause a serious neck injury when a dog hits the end at speed, so clip it to a harness, never let it run through your hand, and do not use one in a place where it can wrap a leg, a person or a post. Never leave a dog tethered or crated unattended in a long line or a training collar of any kind.

Bark collars and other automatic devices respond to a symptom. A dog that barks from fear or from being left alone usually gets worse when the barking is suppressed and the fear is not addressed. Calming supplements are food products, not medication, and they do not treat a diagnosed condition.

Sudden changes in behavior, growling, biting, or anxiety that escalates are medical and behavioral problems before they are equipment problems. See your veterinarian first to rule out pain, then work with a credentialed behaviorist. Nothing on this site is veterinary advice.
