1. **Lightweight & Durable:** Lighter than a Chuck-It relative to size and built to last! 💪
2. **Easy Handling:** Usable with one or two hands for the perfect throw that prevents fatigue, now your games can last as long as your dog!

Go tiny dog, go! Would you believe that not only was this small gentleman reactive to anything and everything - barking and lunging and being generally completely uncontrollable, but that it was so bad that his family also used to call him “devil dog?” It’s true, but look at him now - reliable public obedience even with a dropped leash. Calm, cool, and collected - this little guy is ready to embrace his much brighter future.
We see it all the time, small dogs out in public - completely out of control and sometimes even dangerous, but it’s not taken seriously due to their size or worse - it’s seen as “cute.” Well it’s not cute and obedience training doesn’t stop just because a dog is under 20lbs. The only thing that makes a small dog a disaster by default is the lack of training and expectations for these dogs due only to their size.

“You can’t train a dog as an adult!” “You can’t train a small dog!” Well these three weren’t willing to take those accusations…lying down 😜. But in all seriousness, these are some reliable down-stays! All of these dogs received training as adults, long after the golden period of training in puppyhood had passed. You dog’s age or size should never be a barrier to training, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks and just because your dog may be small doesn’t mean their skills have to be.
Old or young, big or small, Red Dog Blue Dog trains them all!

Did you know that with training done right, tools or static reward mechanisms aren’t forever? Every tool we use and every reward we give is with the intention of moving towards this. No tools, no physical rewards - only the bond of shared respect and clarity of communication that training can provide. No reward or tool should be the only thing to guarantee behavior, we don’t do bribes and we don’t do threats - we create the connections today that will create the relationship you want tomorrow. You crawl before you can run, and training wheels come before the Tour de France - and just like dog training, if you skip those first steps - you’ll land flat on your face.
