Where do you keep your dog stuff?

Post by Andra2000 » Mon Jun 04, 2012 7:28 pm

I was admiring my organized mess today as I was trying to find the nail clippers (they were not at the top like they are in the photo lol).

Image

Treats, toys, collars, health stuff, sweaters, booties, mats.... etc etc etc. That's not even all of it. We have another canvas cube on a bookshelf elsewhere that has more collars, brushes, bandanas, shampoos, first aid stuff. I keep thinking there has to be a better way to do it, because I hate digging through all this crap and then it's like playing a game of Tetris trying to get it all to fit back together. Of course, the stuff I use most frequently is at the top. But still. Maybe there is no good way to organize it. Maybe I just have too much stuff.

Wow. That is a lot of stuff. I don't even have half that! Just eCollar, launchers, check cords and collars. A few odds and ends like plastic bags for markers and some tools. I keep all my "portable" gear in a little tool box my mom kept her stuff in before she passed away. All the other stuff like bowls, water jugs, etc is just tossed in the bed of the pickup.

I keep my dog stuff in an old cedar chest in the pantry next to the back door. Boots sitting next to it and coveralls, bibs and hats hanging on hooks above the chest. Check cords, a couple of leashes and a few other things are kept in the storage compartment of the dog box in the bed of the truck. Works out real well for somebody who is usually not very well organized with anything. 8)

My answer is everywhere - in the garage, in the mud room, in our spare bedroom, in my truck, and in outside dog kennels. It would take forever and bore everyone to death if I listed all my "dog" stuff. The fact that I have both setters and labs probably adds to the amount of training gear I have. That we hunt as well as run all four dogs in competitions and tests also adds to the amount of stuff. I don't like to pay my vet for the things I can take care of myself, so I have a bunch of home remedies, grooming items, and meds included in my "dog stuff."

Having lots of "stuff" makes it more fun.

Our's is everywhere too. It's actually pretty organized, but I think the four dogs have more "stuff" than we do also. [img][/img] Their stuff is in the garage, dog trailer, front porch, spare bed room, top of frig, shed, coop, and back of truck. I of course have a small bag too for just emergencies I carry with me too. Funny at tests and training days everyone knows who to come to for the asprin, bandaids, etc...

Kept all the pup stuff in an nifty open tool bag in my car and then my car got stolen over the weekend. No kidding! Now I have to buy new stuff. :x

The bulk of my training/emergency med supplies are in a triple decker tool tote that I bought from Sears. There is a bowl for each dog in there as well. This way I can check it, pre load it the day before with beepers or e-collar or whateverI will need for what I am planning, then grab and go pretty much. I have a small utility type toolbox for the Tracker, collars, spare parts and batteries.

The launchers are hung on the wall in the garage near an outlet for charging. The dog meds and such are in my bathroom in a separate drawer and the spare collars, and all my small extra dog stuff is in one drawer of a stackable drawer bin in my den.

The dog stuff I keep in the horse trailer is mostly related to trialing, like some stakeouts, a chaingang, roading harness and lead, carrying cases with snaps for the Garmin and the Tracker, a spare checkcord and a bowl for each dog. That stuff is always in there.

Our EP has a house she lets us keep our clothes & things in between walks & hunting trips... :mrgreen: but most of her stuff is in the entrance closet or my truck...

So, if you don't want your car stolen, don't keep your dog stuff in it :cry: . Seriously though, sorry to hear that. That really sucks and I hope they catch the dirt bags.

Took a five gallon bucket and baught a Kobalt tool pouch that fit into a bucket. Holds multiple whistles, scent bottles, e-collars, transmitters, gloves, knives, tools, etc. and in the middle I keep multiple dummies, retrieve-R-trainer, .22 loads, collapsable dishes for water and food, bag of treats, with room to spare. Around the handle multiple cords, leads and lanyards noosed-up. Just grab and go. Incredibly convenient and inexpensive.

I kind of have everything spread around, but organized. In the garage I keep larger items like the launchers, auto backer and bird transport cages. In a bin in a kitchen cupboard I keep any meds, nail clippers, some first aid items and the like. I keep most of my training equipment; check cords, e-collars, retrieving dummies, leashes, full first aid kit, pound in tie out stakes, etc. in pull out drawers in the bed of my truck. It took several years to figure out a system, and this seems to work well, especially with all the equipment that is kept in the truck. I always show up at a test or training with the equipment that I need.

My Camper is my mobile dog unit/mobile hunting lodge.....everything I need for dogs, working dogs, or hunting is in it.

Have dogs will travel :D

Where it's needed is the simplest answer.

On a trip, especially in winter, I keep anything battery related in a seperate electronics bag.
Makes it easier to remember and take into the room rather than remain in a cold truck.
