KONG 2-in-1 Jumbler Interactive Dog Toy - Blue - M/L
These are great! We gave one at a time but if you don't want a ton of toys laying around the packs of three make for great options. Make sure to wash your hands after touching these as they leave behind a slight smell.

These helped during potty training! We used these in the house as well as the car while traveling just in case of accidents.

This thing is the best! While training with a clicker don't let your fur baby see these but click during positive behavior. Creates a conditional training without needing to purchase anything to expensive.

Collie Training Tools
We typically only have collie breeds in our home, which makes these tools essentials for us! I know that other breeds react to different things however I've seen success with the same tools and different breeds.
These are the best brands when it comes to pager/shock collars. We have had to use these to train our pups to stay in our unfenced yard. Tips: Call pup's name while also paging them, do this twice. If they don't listen to the two pages, shock ONCE! C...
Remote Training Collars at Tractor Supply Co.
These books are the best! We don't own cattle or livestock (yet hehe) but we have friends that do and it was beneficial to know how to train a Collie around livestock.
Training Border Collies and Herding Dogs | Tractor Supply Co.
These are great to keep your pups in a boundary if you don't have a physical fence. Regularly check the power to the fence as some pups figure out they can stand by the fence and drain the power until it turns off. I know how it sounds but take it fr...
Dog Fence Systems at Tractor Supply Co.
This is my favorite clicker trainer. Keep out of sight from your pup and click when they exhibit a positive behavior with a small treat.
Brightkins Smarty Pooch Bone Dog Training Clicker - Target
These are great for puppy training! Small enough to not take long to chew up but still give a great positive reinforcement for your pup.
Zukes Mini Naturals Soft Chews with Hearts Peanut Butter & Oats Flavor Training Dog Treats - 5oz
These are great leashes to train while walking your pup. If your Collie is anything like Mr. Duke, they will hate every minute of it but continue with small leash experiences to work through the stubbornness.

Treats
You have to have treats for your cute furry babe! These are favorites for when we are training, leaving for an extended period of time or for different special circumstances.
These are the best! We usually give these to our dogs once a week. Not only do we have a Collie, but also a rat terrier (a breed prone to teeth problems) who has great teeth! Reaches into deeper places than an ordinary tooth brush.
Dog Dental Treats & Chews at Tractor Supply Co.
These are a hit! These are great teeth cleaners as well for your pups. We usually give these treats when we know we will be gone for a couple hours. Keeps them entertained and not realizing the loneliness.
Dog Treats & Chews at Tractor Supply Co.
These are other great options for your pups during long duration of time away from them. Or if you are looking for birthday or holiday treats.
Dog Treats & Chews at Tractor Supply Co.
Now this isn't a treat but this is the best dog food around. Multiple flavors to choose from for your pups. While a raw diet for your pup would be most beneficial this would be a close second.
Shop for diamond naturals at Tractor Supply Co.
To stimulate your pups mind and keep them entertained. These are great items to have if you have a puppy that gets bored easily.
