A hi-viz dog coat for walking in the dark - so, so much more relaxing than having a black dog vanish in the murk then suddenly loom at you from under a bush!

An LED head torch - I can SEE! Although it is a little eerie when you see his eyes glowing in the reflected light, but at least I know where he is:D
 
I wish i had training classes for my old dog....he wasn't always great with other dogs, but in hindsight i now know this came from me....he loved playing but i wasnt always confident to leave him too it (Rotti x Mastiff)
 
See I knew there was a good reason to have rotts. They have a glow in the dark backside....well almost!! Although when you can see that smashing orangy bit you know they are heading away from you. :p
 
A tame agility trainer in our back paddock ;) and the loopy whippet to do it with

BC how dare you ruin my enjoyment of future jaffa cakes :mad: :eek: :D

But you learnt from it thats the main thing. Its all a big learning curve,ive had 4 rotts now an everyone has got better,so much so that i let my bitch off on the field an dont put her back on lead till i get back on road.

People say how well behaved she is,i beam with pride when i hear that.

Mistakes are there to be made,as long as you learn from them thats all that matters.
 
A Furminator!!

Nice cosy dog coats (specifically danish designs and outhwaites) - as in the winter they spend the day in a cold warehouse - brrr

Also my boys have hi-viz jackets and flashing collars for walkies in the dark - really freaked the fishermen out on the beach the other night!!

Oh and a dyson animal vacuum cleaner! (OH loathes hair!!) It helps keep life peaceful!

And Mr Muscle drain unblocker - for when they go in the shower which is quite often!!

Access to AAD :D seriously, have learnt a lot and have changed my opinion on so many things.

Waterproofs - oh yes have finally decked my self out with pull on trousers - what was i doing all those rainy days, telling myself i"'ll dry out when I get home!" lol

The knowledge that you can never have too many photos of your dogs as one day, you'll wish you had more (lost hundreds in old mobiles by not saving to the memory card :() I have hardly any of Muph and Caffrey :(

Very true....just a shame Leo missed out, although as i rehomed him from people who intended to keep him as a fighting dog.....i guess he was lucky!!!
 
Now that we have Prince the pug, I couldn't be without a Furminator.

I recently bought two hi-viz harnesses and two leashes with in-built LEDs. This means little Stells no longer gets trodden on during our winter walks.

I also wish I'd nipped Stella's head-butt tendencies in the bud a LOOONG time ago.
