Why Shop At The Dog Outdoors

• Benefit from our experience. First of all, we believe in and use all of the products we sell. If it didn't meet my standards, it wouldn't be available at The Dog Outdoors. We can personally answer any questions you have because we use the products. We are happy to always be available for questions even long after you have made a purchase. We know how important our customers are to us.
• No where else on the web will you find more information (including videos) about the products we sell. We make every effort to bring the experience of shopping in an actual store to your computer screen and even go beyond that. See our products in use in high definition video, read our buyers guide to help make your decision and if you still have questions contact us 24/7.
• We pride ourselves on being a small business. This allows us to put our own personal touch into your buying experience and give you unparalleled customer service. With few exceptions your order will be packed up and shipped out the very same day by my wife or I. You will get your stuff faster than most any place you shop at online. Let us show you what customer service is all about!
• You are dealing with real people. Not some faceless company sending you products they don't even keep in inventory. Reach out to us and ask us anything. We (our dogs included) won't bite :)
• Your satisfaction is guranteed. If you are not satisfied with your experience, let us know about it. We will make every reasonable effort to make it right. We want you to be happy!
  
  About Us
  
  Being owners of 2 very active dogs, my wife Jenny and I understand how important it is to give them the exercise they need in order for them to be healthy, happy, and well behaved. Our Lab-Pointer mix, Parker, is especially active; so much so that the hour long walks everyday didn't even seem to make a dent in his energy level.
  
  Having full time jobs, we were desperate to find a way to release Parker's energy because we didn't have time to take him to a dog park on the weekdays or spend hours running him. I love bike riding so I started looking into ways to take Parker bike riding. I soon found out just how dangerous using a normal dog leash can be.
  
  There had to be a device out there to safely bike with your dog. After some searching, we came across the Italian made WalkyDog® bicycle dog leash and fell in love. The product was extremely high quality, easy to install, and - best of all - it gave us full control of our dog when bringing him on bike rides. Parker absolutely loves the WalkyDog; and even better, he is worn out in a fraction of the time it would take walking him. Jenny and I thought to ourselves that, if we loved it so much, others would too. Our friends and family agreed and that is how The Dog Outdoors was born. Since starting out in 2008 with 1 product we have grown to include all sorts of gear for active dogs and their owners. We only sell products that have got the stamp of approval from our own dogs. Our goal is to provide the best products and more information than anywhere else about those products. In 2008 we also brought a beautiful baby girl into the world :) The business helped to allow my wife Jenny to stay home with her and run the business while I still worked full-time at my day job. In late 2010 we decided to make The Dog Outdoors a full-time gig. As I write this in late 2011, we are a couple of weeks away from the birth of our second daughter and now have graduated from working out of the garage to our own office/warehouse. Running our own business has been an awesome ride and huge learning experience so far. Jenny and I love the challenge and especially love interacting with people like you that are visiting this site. Your support makes it possible for a husband and wife team to compete with the big businesses out there. We promise to do our best to continue to provide excellent products, service, and information. Thank you so much for stopping by!
