While we appreciate the convenience of camping, there’s nothing quite like spending a night under the stars in a place where no cars go. Backpacking for the first time can be intimidating and while bringing your pooch along means there are a few more things to consider it can be very rewarding for both of […]
It’s time to put away those winter coats – summer is officially here! As we gear up for summer we started dusting off some of our gear that we haven’t seen since fall (looking at you life jackets). It got us thinking about what the best summer gear is so we asked a few folks […]
This review is on the old style Ruffwear Roamer Leash. Ruffwear upgraded this product in spring 2017 after we were in the middle of testing. According to the Ruffwear website the Roamer is an adjustable stretch-webbing leash that can be hand-held or worn around the waist for a dynamic hands-free leash experience. Wavelength™ stretch webbing […]
Climbing rope leashes are designed to be durable and to absorb some of the force of a pulling pup and the Wolfpack Supply Big Locking Carabiner Leash is no exception. The first thing most people notice about Wolfpack Supply leashes are the vibrant colours. I love that the leash comes in so many colour options […]
Ellie & Atlas have become my go-to running partners, and our canicross adventures had been lackluster until we received the Hurtta Hiker Belt from Hurtta North America. Prior to this belt we were using the Ruffwear Roamer hands free/waist leash but with my curvier body the thin strap and minimal padding meant it often rode […]
Atlas is a major thrill sniffer, but he is also a mud magnet. There have been times when he has stumbled upon a swamp only to emerge looking more like black Lab than an Australian Shepherd. Gear for the true adventure dog has to be able to withstand some major mud baths. There’s nothing worse than […]
Reggie tested the 6 foot Hurtta Mountain Rope Leash from we received from Hurtta America in the Juniper colour option. The leash is available in both a ½ inch and 1/3 inch thicknesses and comes in a variety of colours. We tested the ½ inch leash. Retailing at around $40.00 CDN, it isn’t the most inexpensive […]
Often times the environment takes a backseat to consumerism and us humans don’t bat an eye at the wastefulness of our species. Over packaging, disposable products and using non-recyclable materials is killing our environment and truly impacting the earth around us every day. It’s our responsibility as earthlings to reach out and search for […]
Xena hikes off leash when we adventure together but I always carry a leash with me in case we run in to other hikers and dogs on the trail. I was actually looking for a new everyday leash that is water-resistant when Dogs That Hike sent us Alcott Essential Adventure Leash to test. Perfect timing! […]
Although Robin’s a 90% off leash dog, we recognize the importance of a good leash and have a small collection, including one other multifunctional leash, the Ruffwear Roamer waist leash. I was excited to give the “Award Winning” Kurgo Quantum leash a try because it touts 6 configurations and uses a nylon ladder adjustment method that I haven’t […]
