Why we exist.

We wanted to bring craftsmanship back to the world of canine goods. So instead of mass producing products with cheap materials, we build dog gear the way it used to be made: by hand, from high quality materials that last. All of this so we can give back to the dogs waiting in shelters and humane societies until they find their forever homes.

  • Materials Make a Difference

    We wanted to make products that hold up long past the puppy stage, which is why we took time and care to choose only the highest quality materials. From premium leather to solid brass hardware, our products are created for durability and longevity through all the dog days.

  • Repairing before Replacing 

    One of the benefits of products that are handmade in the U.S. is that we know exactly how and where our gear is built. Which means we don't have to push our customers to buy more when they need a new leash or collar, instead we can offer repairs and replace parts so that your favorite leash lasts year after year, walk after walk.

  • For all the Lesser Dogs

    For the lab mix puppy that didn't make a good apartment dog. For the surrendered potbelly pitty that had her puppies in the shelter. For the family border collie that they just couldn't keep when they moved. For every dog that is still waiting for their forever home, we are working to help them get one step closer. Which is why a percentage of every sale we make goes back to those "lesser dogs" at our local shelters and humane societies.

At Lesser Dog We Believe..

That every pup deserves far more than the bare minimum. Whether it's a rescue with a rough past, a senior on a slow evening walk, or a working dog out on a job: they all deserve equipment that shows up for them the way they show up for us.

Every. Single. Day.
