Gift Ideas Dog Trainers
Whether you have a dog trainer in your family or on your friends list for Christmas, or just want to show some appreciation, there are so many options you have for a gift for dog trainer!
If you're thinking of getting a gift as an appreciation for the work they've done, on behalf of all dog trainers, I'd like to thank you!
A lot of us dog trainers work for ourselves in our own business and don't get PTO, insurance, or bonuses. We train dogs for the love of bringing out the best in our dogs (and probably for the love of working for ourselves!)
So, when a client goes the extra mile to think of us, it can really mean a bunch!
Browse this post full of treats, toys, gear, supplies, clothing and other ideas for the dog trainer on your list!
Best Gift for Dog Trainer
First, let's start with the obvious. Anything for a dog trainer's dog(s) is a very welcomed gift.
Your dog trainer likely has a dog (or few) of their own, and giving those dogs quality care is so important to them!
Buyer beware- there are some trainers that are picky about the treats, toys or things they get their dog.
So, if you're not sure what your dog trainer would use, ask what kind of treats, chews or toys they recommend or use for their own dog! We're usually happy to recommend products we love! (even if you're planning just to buy as a gift!)
Here are a few products I love using for my dogs:
Christmas Present for Dog Trainer
Tendons last just about as long as bully sticks- but without the odor! Any dog is guaranteed to love chewing on this!
Our dogs love these bones- but despite what the packaging says, they are not odor free. So be mindful where you give these treats! There's also a 12" size (which is usually what I give my dogs since they last longer)
I save these treats for my favorite word for my dogs, "come". Use caution with how much you feed in one day as beef liver is high in copper. (So this bag goes a long way!)
Gift for My Dog Trainer
There are other things that are just plain useful. There are some things that dog trainers just use over and over and over again. Whether it's for their own dogs, board and train dogs, or during training.
Think of it like the gas card of the dog world. We don't necessarily want these things, but we do need them.
It's the gas card of the dog world- we don't want them, but we do need them. Plus, it's a great stocking stuffer!
For the trainers who work in all kinds of weather- we fly through hand and toe warmers quickly!
Unique Gifts for Dog Trainer
If you really wanted to go above and beyond, grab a picture from their website, facebook or other social media of their dog, and put it on something!
Put your trainer's favorite dog(s) on a blanket! Grab a nice photo from their social media and send it in to be made into a blanket they'll keep forever!
I am in love with the minimalistic look of the custom dog ear outline!
Christmas Gift Dog Trainer
Dog trainers in the north will especially appreciate these socks with a lifetime guarantee! I've had mine for 15 years now, and they are still my go to in the colder weather.
Good Gift for Dog Trainer
Most dog trainers live in casual clothes and we love our sweatshirts. Lucikly, Amazon has a giant selection of the perfect dog trainer sweatshirt!
Great Gifts for Dog Trainer
Some dog trainers (like myself) have given up on buying plush toys for their dogs because their dogs plow through these toys in 10 minutes or less.
That being said, our dogs LOVE these toys. They sometimes aren't usually worth the money for the time they last.
However, I've found that TUFFY toys really last a long time- like years! As do Kong toys and some of the Outward Hound toys!
Gifting your dog trainer a durable or non-durable toy, will usually still be a fun gift for them and their dog!
Pick up a toy for your trainer's dog's! Depending on what kind of dog's they have, a really high end toy would make a great gift!
Good luck and happy shopping!
