Pet Training Tools Special Presentation : Episode HPETS1-S06 -- More Projects »
Whoever coined the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" probably never imagined the types of training tools that are available today. We check out some of those latest innovations.
Double Leash
The new Wacky Walk'r latex leash can walk two dogs at once and will stretch to over six feet in length. It is designed to relieve stress on both the pet and the owner. As that dog pulls, the leash gently pulls him back. The traffic-stop handle, located above the snap hook, allows for strict control in traffic or situations requiring full control. Available in a variety of colors.

Harness Leash
The DreamWalker harness prevents your pup from taking the lead on walks. The newly designed no-pull harness has an adjustable "stop cord" that applies pressure across the dog's chest, which will stop him, but only if he pulls. It does not cause pain, pinching or chafing. If not pulling, the stop cord, which is strong but very lightweight, is designed to not constrict his movement at all—it rests away from the chest.

Safety Collar
Whether there is a stranger at your door or an unfamiliar dog approaches at the park, every dog owner needs to be able to take control in a variety of situations. Just a simple tug on the padded handle of the Quick Control collar creates an instant leash for immediate control and efficient training sessions. Release your grip and the leash retracts into the collar. The seat belt latch prevents your dog from moving around and distracting you while you're driving.

Cat Toilet
You'll want your cat's curiosity to get the best of him with the Litter Kwitter. The inventor developed the three-step cat toilet training system for her cat, Doogie, after seeing the movie Meet the Parents, in which the pet cat uses the toilet. This system includes three colored discs. Step one is with the red disc, with no hole. The amber disc introduces the cat to the hole and the water below, and the green disc has a much larger hole. By the end of eight weeks, your cat should know how to balance on the rim of the toilet and do her business. Only problem is, no one's figured out how to teach the flushing technique.

Portable Pet Potty
The PetAPotty is basically the doggie version of a litter box. It comes in several sizes, and you can choose soil-less sod or synthetic grass. The chemical makeup of the grass and sod break down waste so you don't even have to get your hands dirty. Depending on how often the sod is watered, it should stay alive anywhere from four to 24 weeks.

Hands-Free
Pooper Scooper
The Portable K92 is a totally new system for collecting dog waste. It eliminates the difficulty and unpleasantness of picking up after your dog—it is worn over your shoulder, leaving your hands free. There is no need to bend, carry dirty bags and or clean it. The waste is collected into a bag and hygienically stored until it can be disposed of into a suitable bin. Ten carrier bags come with purchase. Grocery bags will also work but won't hold as much.
