Q. What type of equipment will I need to train my dog, and can I buy it from you?

A. Armchair Dogs stocks a small range of quality products that we believe are useful tools to help with training and behavioural problems. All the products that we sell have been tried and tested on our own dogs for quality and usefulness.
For class training you will need a normal collar and lead, check chains are not permitted in our classes due to the damage that they can cause to a dog's neck and back. We stock very high quality handmade leather collars and leads which are not only tough and hardwearing but are much kinder to your hands than nylon leads. We prefer that people do not use extending leads in class as they are cumbersome and can cause their own problems, such as rope burns to people!
Gentle Leader head collars and Wonda Walka harnesses are also available to buy. These pieces of equipment can be of considerable help with pulling on lead problems, and we are there to make sure the equipment that you purchase is fitted properly. The Wonda Walkas have proved very popular and are handmade in Wales and are not available in any pet shops. Clickers are also available to purchase and come complete with fact sheets.

Q. What other products do you sell?

A. We sell interactive dog toys such as the highly popular Buster Cube and Kong Toy to help keep dogs mentally stimulated, especially useful in dealing with boredom when your dog needs to be left on his own.
We are agents for Dorwest Herbal health products for dogs. These herbal products can help with a number of minor problems such as over-excitability, travel sickness, anxiety, joint stiffness and minor skin problems. Furthermore we sell shampoos, dog toothpaste and Zoom Groom brushes.
We always have plenty of dog food treats for sale such as Coachies.
