Which dog training tools are best?

IN THIS ARTICLE:

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is the preeminent authority on what makes a good dog. There have been 115 winners so far. Of those winners, none have come from the three most popular breeds in America: French bulldog, Labrador retriever or golden retriever. Widening the popularity to the top 20 breeds sees only eight with a trophy, including bulldogs and beagles. If you want to be the one to break the streak, you need the right tools and the right rewards for your future Best in Show.

State of the Show

That isn’t to say there isn’t much hope for the top three dog breeds. In fact, a French bulldog named Winston was the runner-up last year. Afterward, he took the top prize at the National Dog Show. According to NewsNation, Winston is among the most-awarded show dogs. He’s even a favorite to take home Best in Show this year.
