PICTURES OF SOME OF MY TRAINING EQUIPMENTS

Nothing fancy here but I've decided to put up some of the equipments that I am using for my training.

This is a picture of my 'Scratch Pants'. This pants is use during 'bite work'. It is suppose to protect you from getting hurt by the dog/s you are catching. Sometimes when the dog strikes, both the front legs will land on you and the sharp nails may hurt your body or even legs.

No matter how careful you are sometimes accidents will still happen. There will be instances whereby some dogs may migrate their bites and go for your leg. With the scratch pants it will reduce the damage done. This pants are not supposed to be used to catch a leg bite in training. It is normally made of leather or nylon and they cost from USD130-250.


These are my 'Bite Sleeves'. There are many different types of sleeves available in the market. Each of them has their own purpose and use on different dogs depending on their level of training.
(left to right) Hidden Sleeve, Mini Puppy Sleeve, Intermediate Soft Sleeve, Soft Jute Sleeve, Trial Sleeve (front) Regular Training Sleeve.




This is a leather harness called 'Padded Harness'. It has felt padding inside to absorb impact from the dog charging during bite work especially when working dogs on a 'back tie'. Normally a harness is used on young dogs that have not develope their barking and also dogs that tend to charge when decoy is in front agitating.

Sometimes it can also be used for tracking or man-trailing but some prefer to use a non-restrictive harness when dogs can move more freely.

The item in black is called a 'Jute Roll' and the other two are rubber ball which I've improvised to be use as a reward for the dog during training.
Some trainers do not fancy using toys as a reward but some think otherwise. Me, it depends pretty much on the dog/s I am working with.

These are leashes and leather lead. Personally I prefer to use a 6 foot leather lead for all purpose. In this pic you can see retractable leash (around 15 feet) which can be used for recall training, long lines (15 feet & 30 feet) that are used for tracking and bite work, nylon leash with 3 rings & double snap on both ends, and some 6 foot leather lead.
