How we choose partners (Q&A)
What does “partner” mean at Canine Brain Games?
A partner is a brand we’re comfortable recommending because their products and values align with ours. Sometimes that includes an affiliate relationship, which means we may earn a small commission if you purchase through our link—at no extra cost to you.
What’s your #1 requirement before you’ll recommend a brand?
Force-free, relationship-first values. We only recommend tools that support humane, consent-based learning and play—no fear, intimidation, or “obedience at all costs” messaging.
Do you only partner with dog brands?
Usually, yes—because our focus is enrichment and play. But the real requirement is that the product supports your dog’s wellbeing and your day-to-day life together.
How do you decide if a product is actually helpful (not just trendy)?
We look for tools that make enrichment more doable and more meaningful—things that support engagement, confidence, and connection. If it doesn’t add real value (or it creates frustration for you or your dog), it doesn’t make the list.
Do you test products before recommending them?
Whenever possible, yes. We prioritize brands and products we’ve used ourselves, seen work across different dogs and play styles, or that have a strong track record in the force-free community.
Are your recommendations influenced by commission?
No. Trust comes first. If we wouldn’t recommend it without an affiliate link, we won’t recommend it with one. Affiliate income simply helps support the time and resources it takes to create education-first enrichment content.
How do you stay transparent about affiliate links?
We clearly label affiliate links and include a short disclosure on our Partners page. If you ever have a question about why we recommend something, just reach out—we’re happy to explain our reasoning.
Can I suggest a brand for you to review?
Yes, please. If there’s a tool you love (or one you’re unsure about), send it our way. We’re always looking for force-free, enrichment-first options that help dogs and their people thrive.
