Dogs don’t have fingers, and dogs can’t type. So you may be asking yourself, “why a dog blog?” Well, we know that you have as much fun with your furry companions as they have with you, and because of that, we wanted to establish a community where you,
and people like you, can come and share your adventures, questions, tips, and ideas with us.
Ruff Wear gets dozens of pictures and comments every week from our customers and ambassadors. And they are just too good not to share! So we will be posting interesting things we find, and we hope you’ll do the same.
So grab that leash, head outside, and get dirty—and when you get back, give us a shout (or bark!).
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? We recently took a few of our office dogs out to Smith Rock in Terrebonne, Oregon to test and demonstrate our latest creation…The DoubleBack™ climbing harness for a dog. Our resident climbing experts strapped up three office dogs–Hank (a black Lab), Jack (a white Alaskan Husky), and Badger (a multi-colored Husky/Shepherd)–and tested their climbing and belay skills.
The “Highest Altitude Award” went to Badger, who managed to scale his way up to a ledge where he took a nice long break before making his way back down. “Most Relaxed Award” went to Jack, who used the harness like a hammock, nearly swinging himself to sleep. And Hank, our oldest climber, received the “Lifetime Achievement Award,” proving that, in fact, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
