Gnawt-a-Cone™: easy-to-clean inner chamber holds large biscuits or peanut butter for interactive play and erratic bounce for engaged fetching. $9.95

Patroller™ Leash

Inspired by working dogs and their handlers, the Patroller™ Leash is ideal for anyone who wants to keep a leash comfortably and conveniently on hand while their canine companion trains, works, or plays. This adjustable leash can be worn around the waist as a belt, allowing dogs and humans to transition smoothly between on-leash and off-leash without skipping a beat. Adjustable length from 30-40”, Ruffwear designed Tubelok™ webbing with reflective trim, Talon Clip™ is strong, secure and ergonomically designed for one-handed use. $29.95
