GEAR & SUPPLIES

Each dog has a unique set of nutritional needs. Mrs. Parker is a Clinical Pet Nutritionist and Pet Master Herbalist who would be happy to recommend a list of general products she knows as trusts. Will they work for your dog? That's a good question... With every dog having unique biology (just like us humans), what works for one dog may not work for another. If you're interested in having a nutritional panel done on your dog so you can receive a unique report with custom recommendations on food and supplements, visit the Nutrition and Wellness page of our website to learn more!

There's a wide variety of reasons why people have started using CBD tinctures for their pups. For us, it was for...

• Bella's fear of fireworks

• Kona's joint stiffness (she was our senior girl)

• Berlin's anxiety when she was a pup (she barely slept the first few months we had her)

​

We tried quite a few chewable supplements, as well as mass-produced CBD tinctures, but there have only ever been two brands that ever worked for our pack. One of the brands isn't always available to purchase but Suzy's CBD Tinctures can be purchased locally at Dog Supplies Outlet or online and work amazingly well.

​

Slip leads were the very first training tool we ever purchased and were the key to a successful training experience. Whatever stage your pup is in, a slip lead is key. Our pack is fully trained and yet we still find a time or two where slip leads come in handy so we always have one available.

​

​

We get our leashes from our local Dog Supplies Outlet store. We'd be happy to pick up what you need while we're there (we go a couple of times a week) and they have multiple colors available. We can also give you the address to the dog supplies closest to you.

Ruffwear Grip Trex boots are perfect for the active pup who loves hiking and other outdoor adventures with their owner and they also provide relief from the hot asphalt/sidewalks during the summer months. They provide exceptional traction on varied terrain. Breathable mesh upper provides ventilation and keeps dirt and debris out. Closure system combines hook-and-loop with hardware, cinching around the narrowest part of the dog’s leg to provide a secure fit.

​

Another great feature is that you can purchase a front set and back set in different sizes, since most pups have bigger paws in the front than in the back, to ensure a good fit during activities.

​​

You can purchase them for your pup by visiting Dog Supplies Outlet or by visiting the Ruff Wear website.​

Rex Specs dog goggles provide durable, dependable eye protection for your partner. All lenses are impact resistant, rated UV400 (blocks 99-100% UVA/UVB), and easy to replace. Ample ventilation allows for maximum airflow and quick draining for use in water. The spherical lens design offers an excellent field of view and the strap system is customizable and creates a secure fit while still allowing for full range of motion. Having your K9 desensitized to eye protection and a pair of Rex Specs in your kit can help you keep your partner safe no matter what situation your team may encounter.

​

We originally purchased a set for our girls because both Berlin and Thanos have eye sensitivity and we found they had squinty, watery eyes during sunny outdoor activity and we wanted to make them more comfortable since we spend a lot of time outdoors. We quickly found that it also protected their eyes from dirt, dust and debris when running in a pack or with others and from injury when hiking and camping. Now our entire pack has a set!

​

Multiple color and lens options are available.

​

You can purchase some for your dog by visiting the Rex Specs website.

Each dog's training is custom to what the dog needs and responds to best. Training collars, if used, will differ from one dog to the other.

​

Our entire pack has completed their training with Educator eCollars. Even within the brand, all of our pack have different points/pads, strengths, and needs. We love the brand because they have good quality and reliable products that have multiple functions and purposes, they're waterproof so they can be used during swim time and the company offers excellent customer service.

Despite the myth, these collars DO NOT electrocute dogs. We'd like to get that out of the way now. They do, however, offer vibrating functions to get your dog's attention and a stimulating function for training that tenses the muscle. Our family was convinced of the "electrocution" myth before we were introduced to the collar and taught about them (keep in mind not all eCollars are good ones) and we would never do anything to harm our pack so we put them on ourselves to test them so we knew what they'd experience before ever agreeing to put them on our dogs. Now, we couldn't imagine being without them because they've allowed a stress-free, off-leash lifestyle that we (and our pack) really enjoy.

​

It's best to let a trainer decide what training tools are best for your dog and for you to be trained on how to properly use the tools. Contact us to schedule a training consultation.

We have three super chewers in our pack. And by super chewers I mean EVERY toy we’ve ever bought has been destroyed. Not just destroyed, but demolished beyond recognition and not over time, within a few minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️

​

We’ve tried every “indestructible” dog toy out there it seems. All with high hopes and fingers crossed. Some lasted a little bit 🤏🏼 longer than others ( by little bit I mean maybe an hour or two ) but destroyed same day all the same 😔

​

We came across Goughnuts and we heard they were “indestructible” but we laughed. Then we saw they were an investment at $20-$75 a piece (depending on the toy) and laughed even more. But we had multiple professionals recommend them and they came with a lifetime guarantee so we figured we’d start with one to test it out 🤷🏻‍♀️

​

We not only have the original goughnut stick we purchased, we have more sticks, 2 rings, 2 tugs and we just added our first goughnuts balls to the mix. All in tact. No pieces missing. All used EVERY DAY 🙌🏻

​

While West Paw toys don't last long for our super-chewers if they just sit and chew on them, they've been wonderful pool toys for our girls. We play fetch with our girls in the pool and even used West Paw toys to entice them into the pool when they were learning how to swim.

​

Our favorite West Paw toy for the pool is the Hurley Dog Bone. They are recyclable, made in the USA, floatable, latex-free, BPA and phthalate-free, FDA compliant, non-toxic and top rack dishwasher safe. 

​

West Paw also sells other toys, collars, leashes, treats and dog beds but we can't speak for any of those since we haven't tried them with our girls or personally know of anyone who has.

​

​

Elevated dogs cots are a perfect resting spot for your pup around your house but also function as a training tool. If your pup has been taught a "place" command, he/she can post there when needed. 

​

We've tried many different brands of elevated cots and had issues with quality for one reason or another before discovering Veehoo, the brand we use now. They are easy to put together, light, breathable and washable. 

​

We use elevated dogs cots for all of our pup's exercise spaces at home, on the ranch and at the park for posting while training.

​

We can order the best size for your pup(s), assemble it for you if you need assistance and can show you how to take it apart in case you'd ever need to.

Our pack is crate trained, as is all of our training clients. Their crates are where they take their afternoon naps and where they sleep at night. It's also important for owners to have a safe space for their pups in the event that they need to leave home or if they have workers come into their home for repairs.

Most pups can get by with any brand of crate but working breed pups can be escape artists or even destroy their crates because of anxiety when their owners aren't around. We have a high-anxiety, destructive super chewer in our pack and so we've tested every brand of standard, wire crate before resorting to luxury crate brands.

​

While we know there are some pups who can't do without a military-grade "escape/chew proof" crate, such as Impact Dog Crates, we've been fortunate to find one standard crate with a locking system that works for most of our pack.

​

We personally own and use a combination of wire crates, plastic crates and high-anxiety luxury crates so feel free to reach out and ask which one would be best for your pup.

The single best crate mat/bed purchase we ever made. It's indestructible (our 100 lb rescue Malinois with anxiety tried). Make sure you purchase the Armored Elevated Padded Dog Crate Bed and not the standard one. This particular crate bed is elevated and padded, making it extremely comfortable for them. All of our pack now has one.

​​

We've come across quite a few people interested in learning more about their pup. People who know us well are familiar with Kona's story and how we were told she was a breed that she very clearly wasn't.

​

It took until she was 12 years old for us to discover Wisdom Panel and we loved the experience. Not only did it break down the breeds she is mixed with, but also broke down her parent's DNA for us as well.

​

It helped us to appreciate her in a whole new way and we've encouraged other pup owners to do their own test. We actually test all of our Misfit Ranch Rescue pups so we can learn more about their individual needs, find the perfect home for them and educate their forever families.

The kit ranges in price, depending on which panel you'd like to have done, but we're happy to help you either way. We can test your pup for you and let you know once the results come in. Or if you'd rather do it on your own, you can visit the Wisdom Panel website to order your kit!

We have tried every possible "long lasting" chew you could think of between our own pack, our clients and the Misfit Ranch Rescue pups. There is only one universal chew that EVERY SINGLE DOG who chews has absolutely loved and it has lasted the test of time. Woof Honest Chews are our go-to chew for a variety of reasons.

​

• the dogs absolutely love them

• they last forever

• made with natural, plant based materials

• splinter-resistant and hypoallergenic

​

You can by yours through their website, through Chewy, though Amazon or locally as Dog Supplies Outlet!
