Custom Equipment for Exceptional Dogs

Helping shy, anxious, or reactive dogs live their best lives!

Meet my Exceptional Dog

Rowan is an Exceptional Dog!

  • Reactive (only to some dogs)
  • Strong Predatory Drive

.

I understand what having an Exceptional Dog is like,

and I make equipment just for you!

Position Statement

We believe in kindness, respect, and creating a safe space for all humans -regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, or ability. 
We reject aversive, punishment-based training methods, and equipment that causes fear and pain in dogs. 
We believe a relationship with your dog should be built on trust, kindness, and science-backed, force-free training.
Every person and every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and valued.”

Important Update on Price Adjustments

I always strive to source materials and hardware from the U.S. whenever possible, but some of the high-quality components I rely on are only manufactured in countries now subject to increased tariffs.

.

As I restock materials, these new costs will impact pricing:

.

  • Elimination of the $800 De Minimis Rule – All imports from China are now taxed, increasing costs on essential materials.

  • 34% Tariffs on imported hardware from China.

  • 24% Tariffs on imported hardware from Malaysia.

  • 10% Tariffs on imported products from the Dominican Republic, including the T-shirts I offer.

  • 25% Tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, increasing costs for U.S.-manufactured hardware.

.

These changes won’t take effect immediately, but as I replenish inventory, some price adjustments will be necessary.

.

I appreciate your understanding and continued support as I work to maintain the quality and craftsmanship you expect while adapting to these industry-wide changes.
