For active dog owners, finding the right gear that balances freedom, control, and comfort can be frustrating. Traditional leashes often get in the way: restricting movement, limiting adventure, and creating unnecessary tension between dogs and their humans.

As a Certified Positive Reinforcement dog trainer and lifelong hiker, our founder Mary van Kriedt saw firsthand how this disconnect impacts the bond and wellbeing of both pets and people. Every walk or hike should feel natural, fluid, and fun, not like a struggle for control.
