Becky's Gear Shelf
The training gear I actually use and recommend to my clients. Nothing fancy, just the stuff that works. (Affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)
Potty training bells
Pick a set with an adjustable strap so you can hang it at nose height. Skip any with small parts a puppy could chew off.

Regular cleaners leave a smell only your dog can find. Enzyme cleaners break it down so your pup doesn't return to the scene.
See it on AmazonFront-clip harness
The leash clips at the chest, so pulling turns your dog to the side instead of forward. A big help while you train.
See it on Amazon6-foot leash
A plain 6-foot leash gives you control without the dangers of a retractable one.
See it on AmazonSoft training treats
Tiny and soft, so your dog eats them in a second and gets right back to work.
See it on AmazonTreat pouch
Keeps treats on your hip so you can reward the moment your dog gets it right.
See it on AmazonPuzzle feeder
Makes your dog work for dinner. A tired brain means less chewing and digging.
See it on AmazonLick mat
Spread on a little canned dog food and freeze it for a calm, quiet break. Great for crate time and nail trims.

Videos are a great start, but every dog is different. If you're stuck, a private lesson or a group class will get you there faster.
