Leash
Skinny 6-Foot Leather Leash
Jimi’s everyday training leash. A slim, lightweight leather lead sits easily in the hand and gives clean, quiet communication, and six feet is the ideal training length.
Collar
The Collar Jimi Uses
The collar Jimi recommends for everyday training and control. A well-made collar that fits properly is what matters most.
Distance Work
15-Foot Biothane Long Line
Jimi’s pick is biothane: waterproof, easy to wipe clean, and tough. Once your dog is reliable up close, a 15-foot long line builds recall and off-leash confidence safely.
Crate
Ruff Land Kennel
Jimi’s pick. A tough, single-piece performance kennel that keeps your dog safe and secure at home and on the road.
Place Command
Elevated Place Cot
Central to the Dog Guru System. The raised cot gives your dog a clear, defined spot to relax anywhere in your home.
Exercise
Jog A Dog Treadmill
Our go-to motorized treadmill. Jog A Dog has built pro-grade dog treadmills since 1972, giving steady, controlled exercise so your dog gets what it needs, rain or shine.
The Supplement We Trust
NuVet Plus & NuJoint Supplements
The vet-recommended supplements we use with our own dogs — NuVet Plus for immune health, skin & coat, and NuJoint for strong hips & joints. Save 15% with AutoShip.
Gear is only part of it
The right tools help, but real change comes from the system behind them. See how it works in our interactive online program.
