I am in love with Radars biothane leash, it as all I want to use forever. Radars is 6ft and 5/8" and it is absolutely perfect.

Also Kongs. Just your basic run of the mill, classic Kong. Endless filling possibilities and nothing keeps the dogs occupied as easily as they do.

My 33' biothane tracking lead from allk9 is easily my favorite. I just love it.
Also, it's not technically for the dogs, but my Muck boots...I would just die if I didn't have them. Can't to Schutzhund in NY without them.
Aiden's curogan prong and fursaver from elitek9 are also awesome. They just look so nice on him.

Because my guys love pig ears and hooves and bully sticks and tracheas.... and I love giving them to them.Hmm, never really thought about it before. But a few things that come to mind:
My thin Mendota slip leads (3/8" I think).
Starmark clickers are a favourite here too. Much prefer them to other clickers!
My 16ft biothane lead. I wish it was a tad longer, but it's still awesome. I'd love my 6ft biothane lead too if it had a smaller clasp on it, but it's too heavy for any of my dogs.
My Gundog Supply biothane collars.
My Nearly Naked Neckwear chain/nylon/buckle martingales.
The orange Chuck-It balls (and Chuck-It, for saving my hands from slobber).
Chuck-It Flying Squirrel. It taught Journ to really enjoy any disc for some reason.
Puppy Love Duck Feet. I don't know why, but I just love feeding them to the dogs haha.
My Boomerang CollarTags. Best tags ever, because no noise.
My Euro lead from the UK. My Dobe breeder brought it back from Crufts, and I have no idea what it's even made of and I've never seen one sold here, but I love it.
My Quillin Leather Rolled Collars (with name plates). Super classy and the best engraving I've ever seen.
My old-style Outward Hound treat pouches.
My Lug bag. Not a dog item technically, but it makes an awesome dog training/outing bag.
My braided leather bullhide leash that I bought at a dog show. So soft yet strong.
And that's all I can think of for now. I'd take pictures, except I'm in the middle of a move and packed almost everything already.

These pigs: http://www.amazon.com/Multipets-9-I...370919833&sr=1-1&keywords=pig+squeaky+dog+toy
I have never been a more satisfied customer. Wesley got one for Christmas. He pulled it out of his stocking and proceeded to roll around on his back for 3 hours straight squeaking it. Although 'Burp Pig' is now in the afterlife, 'Urp Pig' and 'Eep Pig' continue the love. No it's not super well made, and most dogs will eat it in 5 seconds, BUT IT'S LOVE.
And Chuckit Whistler Balls. Oh man, Wesley can chew on those things all day, and they don't show any wear. He loves how they squish because they have hollow pockets.
Also gotta love the portable water bowls that pop up.

Those are also my favorite bumpers Reagan!
I couldn't live without:
Premier Sure-Fits
Premier Click-R (It's my go-to ALL THE TIME! I need more!)
White Pine leashes
LONG Flexi (because now that I live in the city... I use it all the time)
Roadie Ruff Riders
Double (or triple) door wire crates
Kongs, oh the kongs we have here!

Premier Click-R is pretty much my favorite, LOVE not having to hold/grab for my clicker. I DO wish it was less bulky, but it's still my go to clicker.
Nylabones are the leading household favorite toy.
Love my White Pine leash, it's the only one I'll use other than my leather leashes.
My J&J leather leashes, especially the convertible one.
My Flexi, I don't think Saga would potty without it.
Gappay ball on a rope, don't think I could live without it. FAR superior to the Elite K-9 ball on a rope.
Durapet metal bowls>all other metal bowls.

This collar
The earth rated poop bags and dispenser
My thin leather leashes... Bold lead designs and Texas leash
Starmark collar. That thing has been amazing for Joey and it doesn't feel quite as pinchy as a typical prong collar.
Pop up bowls. Perfect for hiking.
Easy cheese is AMaZiNg!!!!
Kong wobbler. Half of Joey's food he tends to get in this thing since he eats fast usually.
Antlers and anything that the dogs are willing to chew for an extended period of time. Am I weird that I love when the dogs are chewing on bones? Kind of like how I can sit for hours an watch a horse munch on grass. I'm weird.
My coursing slip. I love it love it LOVE it! Bought it from a lady that breeds and courses Scottish Deerhounds out here and love her slips.
My treadmill. Ok not exactly a dog item, but I run Bamm on my treadmill to help keep the old bugger in shape and I love it.
Another not dog item but favorite cat item. My multiple level cat crate. It's my favorite and it serves AS a dog item in the sense that when the cat needs a break from the dogs he has someplace safe to go and since I keep the litterbox in there I don't have to worry about dogs eating cat pop.

Tucker's Easy Walk Harness is the greatest. It fits him perfectly and is a life saver when he decides to flip out at a dog on a walk. He always wears it when we have guests over because it makes controlling him when he reacts SO much easier. Trying to manage him on a regular collar or harness is completely ineffective, plus he ends up choking himself on a collar. I can also often break his attention on a dog with the harness because it can turn him away from them and towards me.
Low odor bully sticks, we wouldn't have survived his puppyhood without them. He loves them, they keep him very well occupied, but the room doesn't smell like dirty butt hole like with the regular ones.
His food toys (aka Premier Busy Buddy Squirrel Dude and Kong Genius toy). Also keep him well occupied and can be modified to the right level of difficulty by cutting a bit of the flap covering the hole. They can hold both wet and dry food and the Kong Genius can hold his entire meal.

-The crate.
It doesn't get appreciated enough really... Merlin absolutely loves his. It folds down, it's his safe place, it's a great place to just stick him when I need him out of the way.
I have the Icrate and I really like it.
- Lupine leash. It's the only nylon leash I LOVE. The handle is so comfy, I let it get gross, I tie knots in it and best of all, lupine guarantee!
- Polka dog bowls. They are bendy and plastic and I stuff them into bags and they hold up so great!
- West paw Salsa dog toy. Don't ask me why.. Merlin loves the **** thing.
-Bowzer all weather crate bed.
Merlin loves it, has lasted through him digging and biting and spilling and peeing and just being a jerk lol and it looks brand new
- Molly mutt crate covers. Inexpensive and make his crate look pretty! Very well made
- GunDogSupply Tufflex Collar
It's his everyday at this point. Beyond tough, soft, waterproof, smell proof, doesn't break his coat.. winning.
-Not sure what kind of ruffwear backpack this is but it's really well made and Merlin likes it. and I can lift him by it!
- Chuckehounds bow ties. Merlin has a collection and we love them. They have lasted through his hellion ways, stay on on every collar and they are pretty
- Slicker brush with self cleaning button thing
No more stabbing and killing my fingers trying to clean it! it works so well

Orbees on a rope, which they don't make anymore apparently???
Chuckits.
Furminators (I know a lot of people don't like them for coated breeds, but mine is a lifesaver with my hair/allergen factory)
Eve's service dog/police lead, bridle leather and locking alligator clips. Amazingggg.
These clickers.

I'm adding Manners Minder to this list.
I don't know why I try to deny it's usefulness or why I insist on doing things the hard way until I finally give in and stick a Manners Minder out and remember how freaking awesome it is.
Zip Tie has been struggling with this crate/rotate thing since Zinga has gone into heat. Not sure if it's the extra crate time or the fact that Zinga is flaunting her woman scent all over the place, but he's been driving me crazy with the insistent whining. I started rewarding randomly but it wasn't consistent enough and I got lazy because, well, his darn crate is down the hall in another room (read 15 feet away, around a corner). Finally, I brought the Manners Minder home from work, stuck it on his crate, and guess what?! No whining. He was a happy camper to sit under the Manners Minder with his mouth open waiting for the delicious nugget of classical conditioning to fall in.
Even better, it has that awesome down stay feature, so I don't have to worry about potential water damage on the remote while I take a shower. Plus, a variable rate of reinforcement. This thing is brilliant. And perfect for encouraging my ever increasing level of laziness.
I should print out this praise and tape it to my mirror so that the next time the Manners Minder goes into hiding, I can remember it's awesomeness and not torture myself for *too* long before giving in again.

I'd have to say my Outward Hound treat bag, hands down. Easy to get into, snaps closed without much effort so there's no spills, and holds quite a bit. I can usually shove potty bags, a clicker, and maybe a toy in there, if I need to.
I also love the 'Little Stars' treats from Wet Noses. Not the highest value treats for Sam, but they're great for everyday training - just the right size for him.
Also antlers, up until I step on one late at night!

The Bumi:
And especially the Hurley:
By West Paw Designs. These things are indestructible, even though they are small enough that he can really chew the crap out of them. And if he did. there's a warranty. They look almost new, are fun colors and were pretty cheap. A+
