You’ll find plenty of helpful insight in this dog training gear guide.

We stock a wide variety of canine gear, including:

What’s Your Most Durable Toy?

We hear this a lot — and while no toy is indestructible, we strive for maximum durability.

At Bo’s, we use only the highest quality materials from Europe, including:

  • Nylcot
  • Leather & suede
  • Grip line
  • Reinforced stitching & thread

Every product is designed, tested, and refined by professionals in real-life training scenarios.

That said, the “most durable” toy is the one that works best for your dog’s style. For strong tuggers, we recommend starting with a Nylcot Roll or Suede Ball.

Do Different Breeds Need Different Rewards?

Yes — 100%. Breed, size, temperament, and training goals all affect what gear your dog needs.

For example:

  • A soft-mouthed Malinois puppy might love a plush puck
  • A strong Rottweiler may benefit from a grippy tug with leather reinforcement
  • A handler training for IGP will want durable bite wedges and sleeve-ready tugs
