Are you having trouble training your pup?

The Sidekick® is here to help! This revolutionary tool from Heather's Heroes® is the most effective way to address excitement, fear, anxiety, leash reactivity, and aggression. Everyone wants a calm and happy pup, but it can be difficult to get there. That's where The Sidekick®, the original Transitional Leash®, comes in. This 3-in-1 slip lead, head collar, and leash works with a pressure point on the bridge of the dog's nose - to remind them that this isn't appropriate behavior when they're getting rowdy. With simple gentle upward pressure on the leash, you'll notice your pup calming down and understanding that this particular behavior is not acceptable.

Dog familes, daycares, and trainers around the world use The Sidekick® day in and day out to help train dogs of all temperaments. Instead of just controlling or managing misbehaving pups, you can actually teach them what behaviors are acceptable - strengthening the bond between you two even more along the way! With The Sidekick® in your corner, hope is returned to even the wildest pups out there – start building a better tomorrow with your pup now!

Awarded 2nd Place in the New Product Showcase at the 2022 Global Pet Expo!
