Ventura Pet Wellness is now Truly Force Free!

Shannon Riley, animal trainer and behavior consultant, uses this as a "high value" treat during training cut into small pea sized pieces. 

It can be used as a complete and balanced meal, a protein supplement to dry food, as a treat, training tool, or as an aid for administering medications.

Shannon LOVES the 2 Hounds Design No Pull Harness as it reduces twisting, straining, and pulling, providing a more enjoyable experience for you and your dog during training or while on a walk.

A stuffed Kong can keep your dog occupied when crated or when you have visitors. It can provide mental stimulation and provide an outlet for your dog’s energy. And this wonderful chew toy can go a long way toward alleviating mild separation issues and boredom—just give a stuffed Kong to your dog as you leave, or hide it so he has to find it and then excavate. (Be sure to provide stuffed Kong’s randomly, not only when you leave, so they won’t become associated only with your absence.) 

 The KONG-shaped Wobbler is an action-packed treat and food dispensing toy. It sits upright until pushed by a dog’s paw or nose and then periodically dispenses tasty rewards as it wobbles, spins and rolls. The unpredictable movement keeps the toy challenging, even for seasoned Wobbler users. The Wobbler can also be used as an alternative to a dog bowl to help slow and extend mealtime while providing exercise for your dog. Unscrews for easy filling and cleaning. 

 Meals just taste better when you've got to work a little to get 'em! Stuff the Busy Buddy Kibble Nibble Dog Toy with treats or kibble and Busy Buddy's patented Treat Meter will slowly release treats as pups play. The Treat Meter is adjustable, allowing pet parents to control the speed kibble and treats are dispensed and slow down dogs who love food so much they forget to chew.  

 Buster Food Cube allows dogs to work for their food and gain healthy mental and physical stimulation. Easy to load with treats and food. This treat ball is made from safe and durable thermoplastic rubber so any pup can enjoy the fun!
