Proud moment… I’ve known for some time. I slid into those DMs in early 2018. We had like 9k followers and was at about 12k I think. He was the first trainer I talked to that wasn’t looking for anything more than to get great dogs and great gear in peoples hands. It was simple and our partnership and friendship was born.

I’ve known mikes story for a long time. To see him open up and tell it publicly like he did on podcast was, for me, so incredible to listen too. If anyone ever wants to know how and why Mike and I work together, listen to the podcast. Who he is. His team. That’s why

Memorial Day…. What does it mean to you? For us it’s honoring those who have given their lives for this country that we love. Respecting those who fought for our rights and freedoms.

Many times have I asked veterans and active, what would they want on this day, and almost every time the same thing was said…. Live your life. I think there is a weird stigma on this day. You get some that don’t want you to morn but the celebrate the lives of the one you have lost. Some don’t want the party, they want to do a memorial workout. Some just want the day to themselves and talk to their brothers and sisters again and cheers with them.

I don’t know what the answer for us is but what I think is whatever you do today, keep those we have lost on your mind. Know that this day, whether you are doing Murph or camping, honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this country. We are free because of the brave. We honor those who have fallen.

The insertion harness was an absolute passion project for us and especially me when I started 10 years ago. I wanted to make a
1000$+ harness more affordable for operators and still have the, look, feel and function without sacrificing anything. Then came our friend from the PJs and gave us a reason to make it. A lot of time, effort and thought went into this design and we know you will love it

One of tools I keep in my decoy toolbox is the collab G**O leather cover from and

It’s a must in my opinion and great for conditioning hard committed bites for all kinds of dogs. Plus it’s a GREAT workout for them as well when paired with resistance.

We’re excited to share something special with you, our new limited edition t-shirt, “Keep a Low Profile.” This idea sparked from an anwesome photo sent our way in early 2012 by some pretty cool folks. Their message was simple: In austere environments, sometimes low profile is key.

“Keep a Low Profile” isn’t just any t-shirt; it’s a nod to the unsung heroes among us, the dog handlers and trainers who do incredible work without always being in the spotlight. It’s for those who appreciate the power of subtlety in both their work and style.

After March 7th, this shirt will no longer be available, so don’t miss your chance! This unique design is the sixth of our limited edition series. Keep your eye out for more releases throughout the year, each available for 10 days only. Try to collect them all!

Here is some information on the new harness. There is a lot here but a big call out is the “X” design of the straps that has not been done before in a harness like this. Triangles are superior to rectangles (how most harnesses are designed) and displace and hold load at a far better capacity.

Just some top tier K9s testing the new harness in places far far away.

The new harness drops Tuesday and a full write up with it. Like the icon harness and nomad, we made this harness to fill a hole in the high end harness market. We have nothing against the $1000+ harnesses. The made to fit, tailored for one dog is just one thing we wanted to change.

Shout out to the man himself, Mike Ritland. Mike has been a good friend for years and if you see him, please address him as "Captain America". He loves it!

With all due respect, the purpose of this video is to highlight Team Dog Premium Treats (a Trikos brand, by Mike Ritland). At first look, one may think that these treats are no different than every other "premium" treat. I myself was unsure, but figured that I would let my dog be the judge ... After all, with most treats, it's a quick "nope!"

However, after a few of these little morsels of meaty goodness, he’s moving around like Tyrone Biggums on the Chappell show. Wanting more. No, NEEDING more! He can’t get enough.

Get yourself some of these premium treats with quality ingredients. Your dog will thank you!

The RAM DoorJamm (designed exclusively for Ray Allen) is an easy and essential piece of gear for any K9 officer, military K9 handler, or trainer that is performing live drills in a “public” building. This tool is intended to keep doorways accessible while in the field and in the heat of action.

They are small, light, and easy to store - making them accessible in an emergency, to prevent doors from locking during a search. An important aspect to the handy tool is the message it conveys, letting others (that may be entering the building) know that there is a K9 inside and to take caution before entering.

Due to the elastic nature of the durable synthetic rubber material, this product is incredibly versatile. You can apply it's capabilities to various entryways (standard turn k**b handle, as well as a “push bar” door - typically found in a school or office building). Not only is it a must add for any police K9 unit or search team, but also any emergency K9 unit (SWAT, Firefighters, Military, etc). This simple, yet invaluable tool can save you from a live bite situation, a dog on dog incident, or just to let people know you are training and to be cautious.

This week we reconnect with The Jaded Dog Trainer and discuss some commands that may be producing an undesired response. Historically, we don’t talk about "Dog Training", or specifically how to train your dog, because there isn't one specific way that works. The only thing dog trainers can agree on is that any other trainer, is wrong!

All jokes aside, this week our in-house Jaded Dog Trainer has wanted to address one particular constant with new dog owners - chasing your dog, while telling him/her to come to you. ... We are not gonna tell you how to fix this issue, but we are going to tell you you’re wrong in doing that! haha

“Dog training is like a high school relationship, you have to act like you like them but you can’t like them too much, or you will scare them away!”

If you begin to chase your dog, you are telling them "this is a game of chase". So, first and foremost, stop doing that! To follow, once your dog is calm and you have their attention, DO NOT PUNISH THEM FOR RUNNING! ... You are trying to teach your dog that coming to you is a good behavior, so a punishment will contradict the response you are trying to instill.

For further advice on training commands, find a trainer or watch some videos, and be patient when learning how to correctly train your furry friend to recall, or "come", on command. It can be a slow process.

The Primal Canine leg gauntlets were built in succession to the bicep and forearm gauntlets. The idea was to make a “modern” style KNPV leather under suit for modern style comp suits. Made with suede leather for a soft feel to the dogs teeth but strong enough to resist punctures, without harming your dog's teeth.

I’m not a leg bite guy. Personally, I hate them! I understand the need, but leg bites were always the bane of my existence doing decoy work. So, for those that do Mondio, French Ring or PD work, leg bites and leg training is important. The Thigh Gauntlet and/or Calf Gauntlet give the decoy an extra layer of protection when using a thinner bite suit, so they can keep working without inflicting too much pain.

The Thigh Gauntlets come in right and left options, mirroring chaps, to give you as much coverage as possible. They are designed with a built-in strap to hook around a belt or bite suit pant, keeping the gauntlet in place, and they rest above the knee for full mobility even when wearing knee pads. The Calf Gauntlets are ambidextrous and designed to cup the calf muscles and cover your Achilles, down through to your shoe.

The Primal Canine Gauntlets are a great addition to any decoy working multiple dogs at a time. They will keep your body fresh for longer training sessions, while minimizing the damage to your extremities. Check out the Bicep and Forearm Gauntlets, for full body protection!

We often get asked what our personal opinion is between the biothane products that we offer and their leather counterparts ... Simply put, one's own preference. However, I am happy to share why you may choose one over the other.

Immediately you'll find that biothane, "out of the box", is an amazing product. It feels similar to, and has the flexibility of, broken in leather. Surprisingly to some, biothane performs wonderfully under extreme conditions (think desert/sand, beach/ocean, mountains/snow, etc.). It can also withstand scorching and/or freezing temperatures, through which it remains mildew resistant and easy to clean. All around, it's a great alternative to leather, with a comfortable feel, low maintenance, and outstanding strength and durability.

With that said ...

I grew up on a ranch and still remember the first time someone handed me leather reigns, a saddle, and a nice leather belt. Since that day, I personally have always preferred leather gear (leashes, collars, boots, belts, etc). … Leather has life in it. It molds to your curves, your form and function. Every time you sweat into it, every time the dirt hits, dog slobber added, grease and grime. Leather becomes personal (at least for me). I still have the first 6' leather leash that I bought from Ray Allen (go figure), and to this day I still prefer it over anything else. The feel, the strength, the quality... To many, there is no alternative to that!

So, as much as I can detail the benefits and reasons for one over the other, at the end of the day it boils down to personal preference. Leather may need a little extra care and maintenance, but you can't beat the durability when cared for properly.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

After literally years of hearing all the pleas for black hardware, we have finally launched our black on black leashes. We didn't just stop at the bolt snap, though. All hardware on these (3) new leash options are solid black. ... And honestly, my 18 year old self - wanting to “black out” my truck with all the black on black hardware that I could find - would be happy, lol.

We added black rivets, black O-rings, and the black bolt snaps to (3) of our top styles to see exactly how excited our "fans' would be with this new look. For now, the Black-on-Black hardware is an option available with our Standard Obedience Leash w/ O-Ring, Braided Leather Leash w/ O-Ring, and our Biothane Dog Leash (also with an O-ring). Although we offer multiple lengths of each (4', 5', 6'), all Black-on-Black options are 3/4" wide.

Not only are you getting a clean, sharp look. The significant benefit of black hardware is that it keeps your gear subdued, limiting any glare that typically comes off the brass or stainless steel snap.

Did you know the new harness was first conceptualized from a great conversation with and . We wanted to initially build a full insertion harness that had no zipper, fully adjustable, buckles on top instead of the sides, and functional for different environments from hot to cold. This was the first one built in 2020 and with tweaks and suggestions from professionals in the space, we are a little more than a month away.
