Products we make and sell for dogs


Hello. I create custom equipment for dog trainers, competitive handlers and devoted owners.   I show my work at animal-related fairs, shows and competitions and take custom orders by email.  Some of it is fancy, some more rugged-looking, but it is all first and foremost durable and functional.  The hardware and style on every piece is selected for the customer's individual needs.

Take a look at some of the examples of our products by clicking on one of the listing in our menu in the left margin.  The leashes and collars are our biggest sellers... unless it's a weekend for lanyards or dog toys.  Please don't hesitate to email any questions or custom requests.   Thanks for looking : ) -- Lily .

Paracord Products


I make custom dog trainer's & handler's equipment handcrafted from extra tough nylon paracord. For those not familiar with this material it is well suited to leashes and collars as it is incredibly strong and durable, yet soft to the touch and available in a wide variety of colors. Paracord consists of a vibrantly colored woven nylon outer shell encapsulating a multi-strand inner core. Military paracord has a 550lb breaking strength and comes in basic army colors. Commercial parachute cord has a 450lb breaking strength and comes in just about every color of the rainbow. If one were to find themselves in an emergency, a paracord product could be unravelled and made available for all sorts of uses. This is why soldiers make and wear paracord "survival bracelets" - you never know when you might need it!

Standard leads are made from a 4 cord braid, doubles have 8, and both are strong enough to walk any dog. The choice is more a matter of grip comfort which depends on the pull-strength and behavior of the dog. Lightweight products are made from the nylon cord minus the bulk of the inner cords. This is strong, but makes for a softer and tighter braid for smaller dogs and showring uses. All pieces are handmade with great care and attention to detail and are guaranteed to impress and hold up under normal use. Custom orders accepted for just about any configuration. If you can imagine it I can create it for you. More...
