Wild K9s Toolkit

I also stock a range of carefully selected treats and chews based around whole-animal ingredients, with no unnecessary additives, fillers, or nasties. I’m quite picky about what I recommend and use with dogs, so if you’d like to find out what’s currently available, just drop me a message.

One of my most-used enrichment tools for helping dogs slow down, decompress, and engage with food in a calmer, more thoughtful way. The range includes softer mats for puppies and gentle chewers, tougher options for stronger dogs, wobble bowls, Yoggie Pots, and feeding accessories.

One of those simple things that makes life much easier. Easy access to treats means better timing, less faffing, and more opportunities to reinforce calm, thoughtful behaviour. Silicone versions are also much easier to clean.

Without doubt one of my favourite dog beds. Raised beds can be brilliant for airflow, joint comfort, and dogs who struggle on hard flooring, and these last incredibly well.

Snuffle mats can be brilliant for encouraging natural sniffing and foraging behaviour, helping many dogs decompress and switch off. I personally prefer the better-quality versions, as some cheaper mats can contain loose parts or poorly made components that may become unsafe over time. The good news is you absolutely don’t need to spend a fortune - a simple bath mat can often do a very similar job.

Soft, cosy beds for dogs who love to curl up and snuggle. Particularly popular with smaller dogs or those who enjoy extra warmth and comfort.

Originally designed as pee pads, but they also work brilliantly as washable non-slip surfaces for dogs needing extra stability.

Brilliant for cold, wet weather and particularly useful for dogs who feel the cold, struggle with drying off, or benefit from extra warmth post-walk.

Really useful for separation-related cases, checking settling behaviour, or simply keeping an eye on your dog when you’re out.

A fascinating look at canine health, longevity, lifestyle, and wellbeing.

Affordable, washable rugs and runners that help improve grip and confidence around the home.

Brilliant for reducing spills and keeping water available during travel or busy multi-dog households.

One of those tiny things that’s always worth having nearby if you walk in grassy or woodland areas regularly - especially here in the forest!

Great guidance and products for creating dog-friendly flooring with appropriate grip and stability. If choosing laminate or vinyl, aim for an R11 slip rating.

Highly adjustable and useful for dogs who struggle to fit standard harness shapes comfortably. A good option for sensitive or awkwardly shaped dogs. My go-to recommendation.

One of my favourite enrichment toys. Dogs seem to absolutely love them, and they’re often less frustrating than toys like Kongs while still providing enough challenge to keep dogs engaged. Brilliant for stuffed and frozen enrichment, meal prep, and helping busy brains slow down. Top tip: if you’re freezing anything liquid inside, pop a carrot into the small hole first to stop it leaking while freezing.

Extremely useful during hot weather, particularly for dogs who struggle with heat or when shade is limited.

A really lovely alternative to tougher enrichment toys like Kongs, and much easier to clean as it can just go straight in the dishwasher. Brilliant for stuffing with wet food, dry food, or frozen mixtures, and usually very reasonably priced too.

A brilliant organisation helping raise awareness of dogs who need space. Perfect for nervous, recovering, elderly, or training dogs who benefit from a little extra understanding in public. You receive a 20% discount in their online shop  by using the code SPONSOR20

A longer-lasting alternative to traditional rawhide that many dogs find highly satisfying without some of the concerns associated with rawhide products.

Washable, durable non-slip rugs that can make a huge difference for dogs struggling on slippery flooring.

Extremely well-made enrichment toys that can be gradually built upon over time, creating lots of variety without needing endless separate toys. 10% discount using the code: WILDK9S

A versatile eco-friendly and non-toxic sanitiser that’s more effective than harsh disinfectants - useful around the home, for cleaning dog equipment, and even for some minor skin irritations.

A fun enrichment toy that encourages dogs to sniff, forage, problem-solve, and work for their food in a calmer, more thoughtful way. I particularly like that it’s flexible, easy to clean, and can be adapted for different difficulty levels depending on the dog.

Durable, practical walking kit that holds up well to real-life adventures. I’m particularly fond of their collars, leads, and life jackets.

A popular natural fish chew that many dogs love. Great for enrichment and chewing, particularly for dogs who enjoy crunchy textures.

A thoughtful, compassionate guide to raising puppies with emotional wellbeing and connection at the centre.

A fun beginner-friendly puzzle toy that encourages dogs to explore, think, and problem-solve in a low-pressure way.

Biothane long lines are durable, easy to clean, and far less disgusting in muddy weather than fabric lines. I usually suggest starting with 5m before progressing to 10m. 15% off with this link

One of my favourite novelty enrichment toys, particularly for slightly nervous or cautious dogs. The unpredictable movement encourages curiosity, confidence, and gentle problem-solving, but because it dispenses food relatively easily, it tends to create far less frustration than many puzzle toys. Available for small and large dogs.

Genuinely one of the best portable dog showers I’ve used. Great pressure, stays warm for ages, and ideal after muddy or sandy walks.

One of the few genuinely crash-tested travel harnesses available, helping keep dogs safer during car journeys. Expensive but worth it for your precious cargo.

A classic introduction to canine calming signals and body language that completely changed how many people understand dogs.

Brilliant for enrichment, stuffing toys, and cooperative care, but always double-check the ingredients. Avoid anything containing <a href="https://www.wildk9s.co.uk/_files/ugd/c7a3c0_c63243f7cefb4e5484869f73df14889b.pdf"><u>xylitol</u></a> (sometimes called birch sugar), as this is highly toxic to dogs.

A brilliant practical introduction to enrichment and how to meet dogs’ behavioural and emotional needs more effectively.

One of my favourite books for helping guardians better understand why dogs behave the way they do through biology, genetics, and individual needs.

Slow feeders are a simple way to help dogs eat more slowly, which can support calmer mealtimes, digestion, and reduce gulping in dogs who inhale food.

Brilliant for confidence building, optimism, and gentle problem-solving when introduced gradually. I usually recommend starting with easier levels and building up slowly to avoid frustration.

A compassionate and practical guide for people supporting reactive or aggressive dogs using force-free methods.
