Australian Shepherd

Y-front padded harness

A shoulder-free Y shape that leaves the front legs moving naturally, with front and back clips so you can steer a puller without pressure on the throat.

Keeps the shoulders free on the longer walks a Australian Shepherd usually needs.

Best for: Everyday walks and dogs learning loose-lead walking

• Two attachment points
• Padded chest strap
• Four adjustment points for a real fit

Measure girth behind the front legs; sizing charts vary a lot between makers.

Elevated cooling cot

A raised mesh cot that lets air move underneath, keeping heavy-coated dogs comfortable in warm rooms and on summer trips.

A heavier coat means airflow matters more than plush padding.

Best for: Double-coated breeds and hot climates

• Airflow mesh sleeping surface
• Rinses clean outdoors
• Folds flat for travel

Some dogs prefer soft bedding — add a thin blanket in cooler months.

Durable fetch ball

A bouncy, high-visibility ball built for repeated retrieves without splitting after a week of daily fetch.

High-drive dogs need a real physical outlet, not just a chew.

Best for: Retrievers, herding breeds and daily fetch

• Natural rubber construction
• Floats on water
• Bright colour for grass and dusk

Choose a size your dog cannot fit fully behind their back teeth.

Undercoat rake

Reaches through the topcoat to pull dead undercoat out during a seasonal blow, cutting the hair on your floor dramatically.

Raking the dead undercoat out is what actually reduces shedding.

Best for: Double-coated breeds in shedding season

• Rounded tooth tips
• Two row depths for topcoat and undercoat
• Works dry or after a bath

Never shave a double coat — rake it instead.

Stainless steel bowl set

Non-porous, dishwasher-safe and easy to keep genuinely clean, which plastic bowls rarely manage over time.

Simple, stable and genuinely easy to keep clean.

• Dishwasher safe
• Rubber base ring to stop sliding
• Does not hold odours

Wash food bowls daily and water bowls just as often.

Freeze-dried single-protein bites

One ingredient, high value and tiny — the reward that keeps a dog working when there are distractions around.

Training needs a high-value reward that holds attention outdoors.

Best for: Recall and distraction training

• One named protein on the label
• Breaks into smaller pieces easily
• No added sugars or dyes

Rich for sensitive stomachs — introduce a few pieces at a time.
