Training Gear for the Akita
The Akita is a powerful, dignified guardian with a strong will and a thick double coat. Adults typically weigh 70–130 lb, with a neck size of about 20–28 inches. This breed needs gear that gives the handler real control.
What You'll Find in This Collection
Wide and extra-wide PowerFlex collars, everyday collars, tactical collars with a control handle, Herm Sprenger prong collars and heavy-duty leashes. Also 3D wire and lightweight muzzles, bite tugs and pillows, a training ball and an orthopedic elevated bed.
What Matters for This Breed
Akitas can be reserved with strangers and intolerant of other dogs, especially of the same sex. Muzzle training early, and making the muzzle a positive experience, makes vet visits and public spaces much easier. A tactical collar with a handle gives quick, close control when needed.
