It's probably not a surprise, but the idea of Wilderdog started around a crackling campfire on a typical weekend summer camping trip. We're a small group of friends, often outnumbered by dogs, always camping, climbing, skiing, biking, and seeking adventure. And we found ourselves without durable leashes, collars and gear. Often retired climbing rope or old webbing or cordelette was how we kept a handle on our dogs. From here, our original leash idea was born. Our products are designed to go everywhere and take a beating. It's why we back everything with a lifetime warranty. It's why we started this. We love designing and making reliable gear.
