Other Training Aids

Training aids covers the tools that do not fit the collar, lead or treat categories: puzzle feeders used for mental work, calming aids, targets, tethers and behaviour products. Pet Corner Dubai stocks around 29 from Company of Animals, PetDreamHouse, Petsafe and M-Pets.

What makes our training aid range stand out

1. Puzzle feeders that give a dog a job

PetDreamHouse feeders turn a meal into fifteen minutes of problem solving, which tires a dog more effectively than an equivalent walk and helps a great deal with boredom-driven behaviour.

2. Company of Animals behaviour range

Products developed alongside behaviourists rather than marketed as quick fixes, which is a meaningful distinction in this category.

3. Calming aids for genuine anxiety

Pheromone products and calming supports that address the underlying state, for dogs whose problem behaviour is fear rather than defiance.

4. Management tools alongside training

Tethers, barriers and targets that make the right behaviour easy while the training takes hold.

Frequently asked questions

Will a training aid fix my dog behaviour problem?

Rarely on its own. Aids manage a situation or support a training plan, but the plan is what changes behaviour. If the underlying cause is anxiety, fear or lack of exercise, a product that suppresses the symptom can make things worse rather than better.

My dog is destructive when left alone. What helps?

Start by working out whether it is boredom or separation distress, because the answers differ completely. Boredom responds to puzzle feeders, exercise and chews. Genuine separation anxiety is a panic response that needs a behaviour plan and often veterinary input, and no product alone will resolve it.

Do calming products actually work?

Pheromone products help some dogs, particularly in short-term situations, and the effect is modest rather than dramatic. They work best alongside management and training rather than instead. For severe anxiety, speak to your vet.

How much mental exercise does a dog need?

Fifteen to thirty minutes of problem solving or scent work a day makes a visible difference to most dogs, and considerably more for working breeds. In UAE summer, when walks are short, this is what fills the gap.
