UK Trainers' Top DotDotPet Picks: Eco Towels & Conditioning Shampoo

When you’re hopping between wet woods, muddy car parks and back-to-back classes, the right kit saves time and sanity. Over a focused trial, our UK community of professional dog trainers and dog walkers at The Dog Trainer School (TDTS) put two DotDotPet staples through real-world use: the Eco Biodegradable Towels and the Conditioning Dog Shampoo.

DotDotPet — Eco Biodegradable Towels

DotDotPet — Conditioning Dog Shampoo

TDTS testing offers an independent, structured, and unbiased evaluation. Products are scored by multiple working professionals across key criteria, including usability, welfare alignment, durability, quality and overall value. And crucially, whether they would genuinely recommend the products.

Drawing on TDTS Co-Founder Helen Wainwright’s former role as a Good Housekeeping product tester, reviews apply an evidence-led, consumer-grade framework: defined criteria, repeatable methodology, and clear, accessible reporting.

“I learned at Good Housekeeping that testing has to be fair, transparent and practical. We’ve adapted that ethos for soggy fields, long lines and anxious dogs -so our results reflect what really works.” — Helen Wainwright, The Dog Trainer School

Eco Biodegradable Towels: Clean car, cleaner dog

What UK trainers and dog professionals liked:

Super absorbent and soft without shredding when damp.

Grab-and-go convenience: for paws, bellies and muddy leads.

Van-friendly: compact storage, quick to deploy, less laundry!

“These are so convenient I now keep a pack in the car and at home… far more absorbent than a regular towel.” — Helen & Lee, The Dog Trainer School

“Really good size — you don’t have to use multiples to get the job done.” — Steph, Bark to Basics Dog Training

“Super soft and very absorbent. Much better than having smelly wet towels in the car.” — Karen Willford, Noodle’s Dog Park

Conditioning Dog Shampoo: Easy lather, fast rinse, dog-appropriate scent

What professional dog trainers and dog walkers liked:

Easy one-hand dispensing with minimal drips - great for busy bath setups.

Lathers quickly, rinses cleanly (even on thicker coats) and leaves a soft, fresh finish.

User-friendly bottle: good grip, predictable flow, less waste.

“So easy to use, lathers and rinses really well, gentle on skin, leaves the coat soft with a lovely light scent.” — Helen & Lee, The Dog Trainer School

“The bottle is easy to grip and the flow control means no waste.” — Tracey, Academy of Canine Confidence

“Brilliant after a muddy walk… leaves the coat soft and fresh.” — Paul’s Dynamic Dogs Ltd

Our take
Both products solve everyday headaches for UK trainers, dog professionals and owners. Eco Towels keep vans and venues cleaner with less faff, and the Conditioning Shampoo delivers a straightforward wash-and-rinse that leaves dogs comfortable and smelling great.

With both products surpassing our 80% recommendation threshold, we are proud to award The Dog Trainer School Recommended Product seal. We’re confident they will be a valuable addition to any professional dog trainer’s toolkit.
