HOW IT ALL BEGAN:

DOG IN THE WOODS started in 2008 years ago while walking our Leonberger puppy in the woods surrounding our Virginia home. There are cars and bikes near the house. In the nearby woods, there are many deer, hunters and other dogs. So it’s important that she wear bright protective reflective gear.  But, her thick, long mane made using a blaze collar or a standard vest clumsy and unreasonable and we doubted she was safe as we moved through the thicket of trees and brush.

After a long and futile search for the right outdoor gear, I set about to design my own safety collars and vests.  Many friends tried our designs with their pets, from champion show dogs to pound pups, large and small, and reported complete satisfaction with DOG IN THE WOODS reflective collars and vests. Our patented unique, simple design provides the ease, visibility and safety your want for your pet.   

ENJOY A SAFE WALK WITH YOUR DOG IN THE WOODS!
