Vendor Biography

At The Exceptional Dog Shop we design and craft equipment that is always ready for your adventures.

We believe in kindness, respect, and creating a safe space for all humans – and all dogs.

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.

We design and make gear that is perfect for you and your dog – because it’s designed to be!

Gear that is for:

• Dogs of all size – whether you have a small pup under 10 lbs or a big bouncing buddy that’s over 100 lbs.
• Humans of all size – inclusive sizing for leash belts and cross-body straps for the same price.

.

You deserve a better relationship with your dog

– and it all starts with the right equipment.

More control + less stress & frustration = happier dog walks

without resorting to tools that cause pain, discomfort, or fear.
