Give Me Space Dog Vest for Reactive or Nervous Dogs
Cape vest: Bright and easy to spot from the side and behind, with no extra harness needed; helps prevent reactions from unexpected people or dogs approaching

I Need Space/Do Not Pet Dog Leash Wrap
Slides onto any leash so people can read "give us space" before they get close.

Adjustable Double Ended Leash
Two-point contact: clips to both the front and back of the harness for two points of control with strong or lunging dogs.

Reactive Dog Settle Mat
A mat for your Sit and Watch that lets people around you know not to approach while you are training.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness, Foam Padded for All-Day Comfort
My favorite harness for reactive dogs that pull because it is padded.

Blue-9 Balance Harness® for Training
My favorite harness for gear-sensitive dogs that don't like harnesses going over their head since this harness clips around the neck. Lower profile.

Nylon Long Line
Cheap, durable, and it's lasted me years. Gives your dog room to move without tension on the leash.

Waterproof Long Line
Gives your dog space to roam and sniff without the tension a regular length leash gives.

Squishy Face Studio Flirt Pole
One of the most efficient ways to get your dog's energy out and channel their prey drive at home without a walk around triggers.

West Paw Toppl® Treat Toy, Puzzle Enrichment Treat Dispenser
Stuff it, freeze it, and hand it over for a long, calming lick session. It's my go-to after outings.
link
The Dog's Best Friend Game
Enrichment, training, and relationship building in one. It's great for no-walk days or for when you've run out of enrichment ideas at home. I use it to get creative with my own dog and have come up with really fun games I would never have otherwise discovered.

Wilderdog Utility Pack
Reactivity work goes through a lot of treats, between quick rewards for check-ins and full handfuls for treat scatters, and this one holds a ton without feeling bulky or heavy. The multiple pockets let me keep my high-value treats separate from everyday ones, so I can grab the good stuff fast when a trigger shows up.
