Effective training relies not only on skill and technique, but also on the quality and functionality of the tools you use. Coastal Pet Products offers a suite of well‑designed, durable tools that support positive training outcomes and help professionals work more efficiently.
Below is an overview of four Coastal products that integrate seamlessly into modern, reward‑based training programs: the Walk Right!® Front-Connect Padded Harness, the Train Right!® Training Clicker, the Train Right!® Treat Bag, and the Train Right!® Cotton Web Training Leash.
1. Walk Right!® Front‑Connect Padded Dog Harness
The Walk Right!® Front‑Connect Harness is engineered to help reduce the biomechanical issues caused by pulling while giving trainers more influence over the dog’s direction. The front attachment point applies gentle rotational guidance at the chest, encouraging the dog to move toward the handler without creating pressure on the throat. Soft interior padding maintains comfort for extended sessions, and a secondary back connection point adds versatility for transitioning clients from training mode to everyday use.
Professional Benefits
- Effective Pull Reduction: Front-connect design encourages natural redirection without compromising gait or comfort.
- Comfort and Fit: Ergonomic build with padded straps supports long-duration wear during structured walks or behavior modification sessions.
- Two Connection Options: Enables trainers to adapt the harness to the dog’s progress or to multi-dog home routines.
2. Train Right!® Dog Training Clicker
A consistent marker is foundational in reward-based training, and the Train Right!® Clicker delivers a crisp, reliable sound that’s easy for dogs to distinguish. The ergonomic profile allows trainers to maintain proper leash handling, treat delivery, and timing without disrupting workflow.
Professional Benefits
- Clear, Distinct Marker: Supports accurate timing which is critical for shaping, capturing, and reinforcing behavior.
- Durability: Built to withstand high-volume use in group classes and private lessons.
- Trainer-Friendly Design: Comfortable in hand and simple to operate during rapid training sequences.
3. Train Right!® Dog Treat Bag
Fast reinforcement is essential for maintaining clean training loops. The Train Right!® Treat Bag keeps food rewards accessible and secure, with a drawstring closure to prevent spills during movement-heavy sessions. Its waterproof, stain-resistant material is ideal for high-frequency use in variable weather conditions.
Professional Benefits
- Rapid Access: Keeps treats immediately available for timely reinforcement.
- Secure Closure: Prevents accidental dumping and keeps high-value treats fresh.
- Functional Build: Includes a key clip and is easy to clean, making it ideal for mobile trainers and class instructors.
4. Train Right!® Cotton Web Dog Training Leash
The Train Right!® Cotton Web Training Leash is a versatile tool suitable for foundational obedience, recall practice, behavior modification, and controlled freedom exercises. The cotton material provides a secure, comfortable grip and reduces hand burn, while the swivel-style bolt snap helps prevent leash twists and tangles, especially useful during long-line work.
Professional Benefits
- Multi-Use Functionality: Excellent for distance work, loose-leash training, and controlled exploration.
- Comfort Grip: Cotton construction offers better tactile control than many synthetic lines.
- Tangle-Resistant Hardware: Enhances safety and efficiency during movement-intensive sessions.

- Start with the Harness: Use the Walk Right!® Front-Connect Harness for clients struggling with pulling. Begin with the chest attachment and transition to the back attachment as skills improve.
- Mark with Precision: Pair the Train Right!® Clicker with consistent reinforcement to shape behaviors quickly and clearly.
- Reinforce Immediately: Keep rewards accessible using the Treat Bag to maintain clean training loops and strong behavioral associations.
