Do you know how strong your dog leash is? Are you sure?
Did the manufacturer actually provide guidelines based on your dog's weight?
I've had gear fail before!
That's why each of my product listings has dog weight guidelines, so there's no second-guessing!

Loving the dusting of snow, makes it easy to see why this is such a good sniffy spot-looks like a bunny party from all the tracks!

There’s no single “best” training leash.
The leash you choose for training should the best style for your dog, your training environment, and your goals.
That’s why I put together an article breaking down common leash styles for specific training goals: https://bit.ly/3Yw1CFB

I'm torn between these two choices for my new dog products webbing pattern this year - which one would you pick?
Of the three that I currently offer, the Red Serape is popular, so I'm leaning towards adding the Blue Serape,
but the Sedona has also caught my eye...

Imagine getting home from your walks without sore hands, shoulders & back?
How about not spending your entire walk scanning for things that make your dog over-excited?

Before I made leashes for critter chasers, I worked for the "big yellow bird and friends" touring show...
Costume failure isn't an option when the show must go on - and equipment failure isn't an option when you have a reactive dog, or a critter chaser.

Happy New Year's morning!
Rowans new year wishes: The same as last year, more sniffing, peeing, and critter chasing, fewer loose dogs and vet visits!
...and just once, can he please chase a cat? Pretty please?

My poor boy got rushed by a loose dog tonight... neighbors dog went "kool-aid man" and busted through a screen door. Thankfully, he stopped short - not sure if the cattle dog was intimidated by Rowan or scared by the crazy lady screaming at him... #DogsofBluesky #ReactiveDog

Another wildlife detour this morning, this time for a coyote on the trail who almost interrupted Rowan's morning 💩. We circled around and went to sniff all down his backtrail instead. #DogsofBluesky

Plan B for our hike this morning... skip the trail, the neighbors need space! You can't really see the herd off to the right, but this huge bull elk is standing right on the trail. #DogsofBluesky ##ColoradoWildlife

Restocking this is nearly double the cost due to tariffs, the removal of the de minimis exemption, & holiday shipping surcharges.
Supreme Court will hear the case in November, but no ruling until 2026?
