Apparatus for the Over-Eager Magical Beast
Does your Magical Beast possess the strength of a Hungarian Horntail? These No-Pull Harnesses and Head Collars utilize the laws of magical physics—leverage and lead-points—to turn a frantic fray into a focused walk. Think of them as a 'Directional Hex' that gently guides your dog’s gaze back to you, making every outing a lesson in harmony rather than a tug-of-war.

Transfiguration Leads: Range & Control
Sometimes your Magical Beast needs a bit more room to roam without fully 'disapparating' from your sight. Our curated long-lines and training leads allow for distance work and recall practice while keeping you firmly connected. From 'Anti-Chewing' charms to hands-free belts for the active wizard on a broomstick (or a jog), find the perfect length for your next adventure.

The Protective Wards
Not every Magical Creature is ready for a crowd at the Leaky Cauldron. These 'Do Not Pet' tags and patches act as a permanent Protective Ward around your dog, signaling to Muggles and Wizards alike that your Magical Beast requires space. Whether they are a 'Working Beast' or simply prefer to avoid 'Unwanted Hexes' (pets and scratches) from strangers, these clear visual cues ensure your creature feels safe and secure in public spaces.

The Bottomless Provision Bag
A master of Care of Magical Creatures knows that the way to a beast’s heart is through its stomach. These pouches are essentially your 'Bottomless Provision Bags,' keeping high-value rewards (like dried dragon liver or your dog's favorite biscuit) within a wand's reach. Perfect for rapid-fire reinforcement during a high-stakes training session or a casual stroll through Hogsmeade.

The Secure Snout-Guard
Even the most well-meaning creatures may occasionally need a 'Secure Snout-Guard’ for their snoot to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Muzzles are not a sign of a 'Dark Creature,' but rather a tool of a responsible and prepared handler. These comfortable, 'Basket-Style' Snout-Guards allow your dog to pant, drink, and take treats while preventing accidental nips—ideal for visits to the Healer (the Vet) or navigating high-stress environments.
