The power of dog play - with you!
Get your special Brilliant Family Dog discount here!
We all enjoy watching dogs play together - but did you know that the most powerful game of all is the one your dog plays with you?
Engaging him in an exciting play session with you ensures that he’ll
🐶 look to you for entertainment
🐶 look to you for reassurance
🐶 be ready to learn
🐶 be able to detach from things that worry him
🐶 learn impulse control - no snatching, jumping, grabbing!
🐶 develop a stunning recall!
And you know what else?
It’s fun!
For both of you.

Which Dog Toy?
There’s a huge range of toys available. Many manufacturers jump on the bandwagon of this lucrative market - and their only interest is to make a quick buck, rather than genuinely wanting to give you the best quality and the best experience.
Toys that fall apart, parts that can be ingested by the dog, materials that are dangerous or toxic, toys that injure your shoulders when tugging, toys that your dog just doesn’t find appealing …
All this will put you both off play!
Not what’s wanted at all.
But look at how keen Coco is to engage with me once I’m using a good quality toy. He ends his active session of fun training (release, recall, retrieve, wait) with a Sit Pretty.

So I choose to use toys made by companies that actually have knowledge of dog behaviour and dog training, and who produce a first-class item that will last and last.
It’s no fun if your dog enjoys a toy and it falls to bits! Like a toddler losing his special cuddly toy …
This is why I’m happy to partner with the leading UK toy manufacturer and I've arranged a special discount for you too! The company is based in the South West of England, and ship internationally, often with free shipping.
I have used their toys for many years - they last astonishingly well, even with larger dogs and vigorous tugging.
There’s a broad range of toys. My own - and my dogs’ - particular favourites are the sheepskin chasers, the bungee tuggers, and the safe ball throw-toys.
As you’d expect of any quality product built to last, they are not cheap.
But they’re not expensive either!
And with the special offer I can give you, they’re a positive bargain!
Have a look at how much training can be packed into a short play session. Here Yannick learns tug, release, recall, retrieve, and impulse control. He even ignored the post van driving past!
