Equipment We Use

Equipment Designed for Adventures

What’s the foundation of safer, more confident walks, hikes, and training sessions with a strong critter chaser, or a reactive dog?

It starts with the right gear.

The equipment on this page wasn’t originally designed for a product catalog, it was designed for my own dog, in real situations where control, reliability, and comfort matter. 

Over time, these pieces became customer favorites because they solve the same problems for other dog guardians navigating everyday adventures.

The Foundation: Heavy Duty Waist Belt

At the heart of my system is the Heavy Duty Waist Belt. This is the key piece everything else is built around.

This isn’t just a hands-free leash belt. It’s a stable, secure anchor point that lets you move naturally while staying connected to your dog, whether you’re walking busy sidewalks, hiking trails, or relaxing at a brewery patio.

Why customers love it:

  • Keeps your hands free without sacrificing control
  • Distributes force through your core instead of your arms
  • Creates a consistent, predictable connection for your dog

 

My Commitment: built with materials chosen specifically for strength and durability:

  • 1.5" heavy duty nylon webbing (5,500 lb tensile strength)
  • Aluminum side-release buckle (500+ lb break strength)
  • Heavy welded D-rings for secure leash connections
  • Nickel-plated hardware designed for years of daily use

 

Why this matters to you:
Because when your dog pulls, lunges, or reacts, you shouldn’t have to question whether your gear will hold.

Your Complete Daily Setup

This system isn’t about controlling your dog, it’s about supporting you.

Your daily setup can include:

  • An extra-large treat pouch for rewarding your pup
  • A double waste bag dispenser so you never run out
  • A pocket for your phone or essentials

 

Everything stays accessible and organized, so you can focus on your dog instead of juggling gear.

Flexibility for Real Life (and Real Dogs)

No two outings are the same, and your gear should adapt to your plans—not limit them.

The waist belt allows you to easily switch between leashes depending on your day:

For Neighborhood Walks & Errands

An 8' braided paracord leash with dual loop handles gives you options.

  • Use the traffic handle for close control
  • Adjust from 8' to 4' with double-end clips
  • Clip the leash to itself to anchor your dog to a picnic table during brewery visits

For Trail Time & Exploration

The adjustable 15-foot long line gives your dog room to sniff, explore, and follow natural instincts, while ensuring that you stay securely connected.

This balance of freedom and management is especially important for dogs with a strong prey drive.

Built for Real Life, by a Real Dog Owner

Every leash, waist belt, collar, and harness is tested by Rowan before it ever reaches a customer.

His strength, prey drive, and reactive moments are exactly why this equipment is built the way it is. If I can’t manage his behavior or something doesn’t hold up to his testing, it doesn’t make it into my shop.

When you order from me, you’re getting gear made with the same materials, construction, and care that I trust with my own dog.
