1. Dog Brain Training
It’s no surprise that the number one gift on this list is Brain Training 4 Dogs. It’s an incredible training at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to hire a private trainer.
This online dog training provided by Adrienne Farricelli (one of the top dog trainers in the United States) helps you uncover your dog’s hidden intelligence through different guided trainings and techniques. You’ll go through training that will not only make your dog smarter, your bond will strengthen and your dog will gain more confidence.

- APP: The newly updated iRobot Home App allows you to upgrade your overall cleaning experience. Enjoy features that work around your life, including personalized scheduling suggestions and seasonal recommendations, all tailored to your unique needs
Honestly, the Roomba is probably the best invention since sliced bread. This Roomba is designed for pet owners to clean up any dog hair, dirt, and debris. It has voice control, works with Alexa, maps your home to get every inch AND it empties itself.
I really can’t think of anything better!
3. Furbo Dog Camera

5. Dog Grooming Gear
We started grooming our dog ourselves a few years ago to save in between grooming visits. For us, it’s a great time to bond with our dog and she loves when we groom her.
To stretch your visit between grooming sessions, try your hand at grooming your dog at home. These professional dog grooming clippers will help you keep your dog’s hair manageable until your next grooming appointment!
Want something fancier? Grab this grooming table to assist you. Finally, finish off with this pet drier.
Here are some other grooming items you might find helpful:
- Wahl Clippers: these work very well for sanitary areas, face and paws.
- Scissors: These come in two different sizes and have rounded tips
- Nail clippers
- Dremel: If your dog hates the nail clippers, you may want to try using a dremel. We had better luck with a dremel.
- MudBuster: To keep paws clean when it’s snowy or rainy
6. Backpack
- HIGH-QUALITY HIKING GEAR: The Outward Hound DayPak is one of our bestselling and most popular dog backpacks. Lightweight and convenient, this pack can comfortably fit extra essentials you may need while exploring the great outdoors.
- FOUR EXPANDABLE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS: This saddleback dog backpack is designed with two storage compartments on each side for even weight distribution and plenty of room for food, water, training accessories and more.
- BREATHABLE MESH & ADJUSTABLE STRAPS: The DayPak doggy backpack is thoughtfully constructed to keep your pet comfortable with breathable mesh fabric, adjustable straps, and bright colors for high visibility so you can stay worry-free day or night.
If you like to travel lots, go on hikes or long walks, a backpack can be a great way to give your dog a job and sense of purpose. You can fill their backup up with the water, food, dog dishes, and/or poop bag.
7. Dog Brain Games
- Level 4 Expert dog puzzle – an interactive challenge for smart dogs, this treat game is great for pets who have mastered Level 3 dog puzzles; involves complex actions that must be completed in order
- Provides mental stimulation to help bust boredom – 15 minutes of mental stimulation is equal to 30 minutes of physical activity, giving dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes the exercise they crave
- Helps reduce dog anxiety and redirect unwanted behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, and digging in a fun and exciting way
Dog puzzles are a great way to tire your dog out (with supervision) as they work to find their treats and food.
Dog puzzles come in a variety of different levels, so it’s a good idea to get two puzzles (one easy and one a bit more challenging) so your dog can work their way up.
You can order this puzzle in a variety of different levels, whereas this one is the most challenging puzzle I came across.
8. Matching Dog Collars, Leash and Harness
I absolutely love the collars and leashes from iDoggos. They come in a variety of different colors and patterns (my favorite is the marble with gold clasp) and you can usually order matching leashes and harnesses with the collar!
9. Gourmet Dog Treats
Both you and your pup can enjoy holiday cookies this season! These dog treats for Woofables Bakery would make the perfect stocking stuffer for your pooch. You can also buy gift baskets that come with an assortment of beautiful dog treats.
10. Bark Box Subscription
Subscription boxes are one of my favorite gifts because they are the gift that keeps on giving. Bark Box is a pet subscription box and each month, you’ll get an assortment of treats, products and experiences for your dog!

About the Author:
Dana owns a Sheepadoodle and a rescue merle Labradoodle. Her first dog growing up was a white Toy Poodle and she’s loved dogs ever since. She has years of experience fostering dogs and has helped find homes for a variety of different breeds, both large and small! After seeing so many dogs end up unwanted and in shelters, she began blogging about different dog breeds (specifically Doodle dogs, since that’s what she knows best) to help people make informed choices when adding a new member to their family.
When Dana’s not brushing her Doodles’ hair (it takes a lot of time for two!) you can find her playing nose work games and fetch with her two amazing pups.
