Smart Pups Resources
I have compiled my favorite dog-friendly training equipment, toys, treats, and other goodies in one place. Everything is categorized and you will be able to check my blog for reviews of these and more. By clicking on one of these links, you will be directed to Amazon's website to purchase the item. The cool part is that by using these links, Amazon will give me a small portion of the sale and you will get your new leash/harness/food bowl/toy in no time. There is no extra cost to you!
If you prefer to shop local, give me a call and I will direct you to a small business on the shore that carries the item you want!

The above Amazon links are connected to by Amazon Associates account, which means thaat clicking through one and purchasing something earns me a little something. This is a small percentage of each sale and it comes from Amazon, not you so, the price is the same for you no matter what.
If you have a local bookstore or small family-run pet shop with these items in stock, please shop there to support your local economy!
