Meet the Brands Supporting Our Journey

When it comes to keeping dogs safe during travel and training, few kennels have earned the reputation that RuffLand® Performance Kennels have. Founded by Doug Sangl and Lyle Van Kalsbeek, RuffLand grew out of a plastics manufacturing company after they recognized the need for a stronger, more durable dog kennel for working dogs and active pet parents. What began as a single innovative design quickly evolved into one of the most trusted kennel brands in the industry. 

RuffLand kennels are known for their one-piece roto-molded construction, which creates a lightweight but incredibly durable kennel with no seams or weak points. Their flexible design helps absorb impact energy, while thoughtful features like strategic ventilation, raised interior floors, and stackable shapes make them practical for travel, training, and everyday life with dogs. 

Each kennel is made to order in the United States using high-quality materials designed for long-term durability and safety. RuffLand’s mission has always been simple: create innovative, reliable kennels that help dogs stay safe and comfortable while supporting the active lifestyles of the people who love them. 

For pet parents who spend time traveling, training, or simply prioritizing their dog’s safety, RuffLand Performance Kennels have become a trusted choice among dog professionals and everyday dog families alike.

The Mental & Physical Enrichment Your Dog Deserves

Mental and physical stimulation are essential for your dog’s overall well-being. SwiftPaws Lure Course Kits combine both into one fun, instinct-satisfying game. Designed to tap into your dog’s natural chase drive, these kits help reduce boredom, burn energy, and boost fitness—all in a single play session.

Why we use them:
SwiftPaws is Fitz’s absolute favorite outdoor enrichment. It gives him a chance to run, chase, and engage his brain at the same time — not just burn energy, but use it well. After short, intentional play sessions, he’s genuinely tired and able to settle, not overstimulated. It’s one of the few activities that consistently meets both his mental and physical needs in a way his nervous system can handle.

SATELLAI Collar & Tracker

Smart Tracking, Training, and Care—Anywhere You Go

Stay connected to your dog anytime, anywhere with the SATELLAI Collar and GPS Tracker. Powered by satellite GPS and conversational AI, SATELLAI provides real-time insight into your dog’s location, activity, and overall wellbeing — even when you’re off the grid.

Designed for flexibility, SATELLAI supports tracking, containment, and training tools that can adapt to your dog’s needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Why we use them:
We appreciate that SATELLAI is fully mobile, offers unlimited virtual fencing, and allows real customization. You can remove the prongs and use vibration or tone only, which makes it a safer, more respectful option for dogs who don’t respond well to harsh tools. It’s a system that prioritizes choice, communication, and peace of mind — especially for dogs and humans who need flexibility rather than rigid rules.
