P.L.A.Y. Deluxe Training Pouch

When we’re not exploring the forests, and climbing the mountains, we’re training!

And let’s not forget […]

Head-Lites Low Beams Collar

Normally, LED gear is a compromise and I often forego it, only to regret it when we get caught out after dark: our Alcott LED collar can’t be used with a leash, our dim eBay LED collars look too cheap to wear during the day, and clip on lights jangle around. Head-Lites are no-compromise LED wear. As standalone collars, they’re already […]

My Busy Dog Waterproof Dog Shoes

Boots might sound like unnecessary dog gear – after all, wolves go barefoot, right? Well, we’ve found that in certain situations (sharp gravel, fire ants, barnacles, hot pavement), it’s a choice between boots and hurt feet, so we went hunting for the perfect pad protection. We’ve tried five brands so far, from $12 to $60, so we were excited when DogsThatHike […]

Outward Hound Hands-Free Hipster

There’s nothing like taking a trip to the dog park and letting your dog run wild and free among the other liberated canines.
