THE BETTER WAY TO WALK YOUR DOG. IT MAKES ANY WALK A PLEASURE.
PAUSE FOR A PURPOSE
Hey Now, Friends & Woofers. I'm Dan, the founder of Walk Your Dog With Love. Thanks for stopping by
It’s with great happiness, many woofs, and a joyous heart that I’m announcing our new plans. It might be even more exciting than when I introduced the world’s first front-leading dog harness 20 years ago.
I’m pausing (yes, paws) the business for a minute — like stopping for a bowl of water on a long dog hike — so I can reset the company to do what I meant to do from the start: get harnesses directly to dogs in need. I’m building a program to donate 50,000 harnesses to shelters and rescues in all 50 states over the next year. Discover more about this below.
Yes, when we start walking again, you'll still be able to get the harnesses you know and love (Thank You!).
Yes, we'll also continue our groundbreaking Dog Gear or Dollars program for shelters and rescues. Plus, I'm bringing back Animal Fundraiser, the free-to-use fundraising program for animal rescue organizations. The difference is that now both of these programs will be available to fund any good cause, in addition to shelters and rescues.
The world has gotten tougher; we're going to help make it better. Talk the talk, Walk the Walk.
Why is this important? How will this “change” the world?
In the words of Jean Harrison, Executive Director & Founder of Big Fluffy Dogs Rescue:
"They make dogs who don't look promising as adoption candidates because they are unruly on a leash suddenly look amazing. They do it all without causing the dog the slightest bit of discomfort."
Or, as Rick Yocum, President of the NJSPCA (the humane police organization), says:
"I’m very pleased that we partnered with you and your company. You offer a quality product that works, and you have continued to support our mission."
Pause On New Orders
Yes, we’re hitting pause (yes, paws again) on new orders while we set this up. We’ll start taking them again once we get this new program running. No worries about “old” business, like Puppy Promises, or customer service question (see below).
I know, I know, one day to a dog is like seven! So we’re working as hard and fast as we can so that we don’t let your dogs down.
Just email us now, and we'll put you on the list to be the first to know when we open the doors again. ServiceDog@WalkYourDogWithLove.com
Why now?
Losing my beloved Orc dog (16 years old), preparing to say goodbye to my just-as-beloved mom (90), and my heart saying, "If not now, then when? So shut the woof up and just do it Bro’. Booyah!"
YES, I’M ON A MISSION FROM DOG.
Yes, I would love your help with this part of the hike! More on this in a moment.
I got your back
In the meantime, we’re still here to handle Exchanges, Puppy Promises, Chews, and all Customer Service questions. Contact us at ServiceDog@WalkYourDogWithLove.com
And YES, we are still signing up partners for Wholesale accounts and our Dog Gear or Dollars fundraising program for Rescues and Shelters. Use that same email address.
And of course, if you have any questions, Woof with me. Same email address.
Making It Happen
We need about a million dollars to launch the 50,000-harness giveaway. That’s 50,000 adoptions with a proven, higher chance of lasting success. One big-hearted, dog-loving benefactor could start it tomorrow (is that you, or maybe your uncle?), or million people giving a dollar each can do it too — it’ll just take a little longer to go live.
As you know, it’s not our first time at the rodeo: this is a 20-year-old company with a dialed-in product, an evangelical following, super-tight systems for everything from production to fulfillment to customer service, plus — importantly — verified results and support from the Rescue and Shelter community. Once we get the funding, we’re ready to Wag & Woof/Rock ‘n’ Roll.
This next part of the hike will also require all kinds of skills for the awesome nationwide community outreach. The first “criteria” is humans who want to help me Share The Love, who want to go on this walk (with Love) with me. Whatever your skills and capabilities. Yes, Knowledge is important. Yet Wisdom is too. As are simply good hearts and strong hands.
- Are you a person who knows the modern media and tech landscape who can make this project howl? WOOF!
- Do you have years of experience, have some time on your hands, love dogs, and want to change the world? WOOF WOOF!
Do you write grants? Are you a publicist or PR person? Is your sister on the board of an community building philanthropy? Have you started your own charity? Does your friend own a contract sewing company? Does your mother-in-law run a fulfillment company? Do know someone at Shark Tank? Are you an author? Do you run a public speaking agency? Do you have a friend who has a friend... Let’s build this thing!
As they say, All Are Welcome. Share your contact info with me, lets chat ServiceDog@WalkYourDogWithLove.com

Thanks for stopping by Walk Your Dog With Love. We make the World’s Best Dog Harness and Dog Gear. Everything on the site is stuff that I made and used with my pack of 5 dogs; that I now make for you and your dogs.
I have always used harnesses on my dogs – I just hated walking them from their necks – even my best walking dogs. It just didn't feel right in my heart. And my Vet showed me some things that validated this even more – you can see why by clicking here. Sure, my dogs still want to see a squirrel, and the neighbor’s dogs and cats . . . yet I have much more control AND I am not walking them from their necks. And that is worth everything!
I took the idea of leading from the front from people who walk horses. I asked them, 'Why do you Walk from the front? And they told me ‘Because it lets us steer!”
Duh! And the Walk Your Dog With Love front-leading dog harness was born! I know you will love it.
