🌧️ Rain or shine, paws and hands stay free! Saturdays are made for strolls with my handmade hands free Greenwich Yarn lead – because holding a coffee > holding a lead. 🐾☕ Who’s been out braving the weather today?

We survived Black Friday & Cyber Monday – huge thank you to everyone who supported! 🙌 Things are full-on here with order fulfilment and Christmas markets, so you won’t hear too much from me over the next couple of weeks.

But… I’ve been toying with the idea of a £100 Gift Card Competition. 🎁 One lucky winner, simple as that.

Here’s the deal: COMMENT BELOW with ‘COMPETITION’ & SHARE THIS POST to show you’re interested. If this post hits 100 comments, the competition goes live. If we smash 200 comments, I’ll throw in a £50 Gift Card for a runner-up. Let’s see how engaged you all are!

This isn’t the competition yet – just testing the waters to see if you’re keen. Who’s in? 👇

It’s quite simple really, ignoring the endless colour options 😂, design your own collar & buy the collar you actually want, not what you’ve been targeted to want. Happy to help, DM pictures, samples and all the rest in-between, so you genuinely get the collar your pooch deserves.

Plus, take advantage of my Black Friday sale and grab a handmade bargain (ends Friday midnight) because small businesses like mine can’t afford to offer sales all year round.

Figure-of-8 leads can really change the game, but let’s clear something up—it’s not an instant fix. Getting your dog comfortable wearing one, especially over their nose, takes time, patience, and training. But it’s worth it. Why? Because uncontrollable pulling isn’t just tough on your dog—it’s tough on you too. Your posture, shoulders, and overall well-being can take a serious hit if your dog is constantly dragging you around. This lead is about creating a calmer, safer experience for both you and your dog—no pulling, no harm, just happier walks. 💚

“Slip leads: the secret weapon for quick walkies and even quicker escapes from the sofa in this bitter cold weather (I see you, Boris). Perfect for dogs who need a gentle nudge to remember their manners or for those ‘I’m just popping to the shop/get chocolate’ moments. Stylish, simple, and a total game-changer for pups who think they’re the boss. ”

The Greenwich Yarn and Classic Hands-Free leads are stylish, durable, and practical which is probably why these are flying out. Honestly can say I enjoy making every single one. Thank you so much for supporting Green Dog, and I hope these leads make your lives easier juggling your dog, coffee, kids, husband/wife and all the rest that each day may throw at you.

Happy Tuesday and if you’re reading this give your pooch a treat for me 😜

Lazy Sundays call for strong coffee, long walks, and some serious style for your four-legged bestie + a Sunday roast - who disagrees?

Enter the Greenwich Yarn customised collar—because why should humans have all the fun with accessories? Handmade, ridiculously good-looking, and guaranteed to turn heads at the dog park (even if your dog won’t stop rolling in mud, fox poo or whatever takes their fancy in the moment).

Head to the site to treat your pup or just to browse and dream—no judgement here. And remember, a happy dog = a happy life (or at least fewer chewed shoes, fewer stolen socks & less obsessive over a ball due to their new found style).

Customise your own hands-free greenwich yarn adjustable rope lead to match your style (yes very wordy), gotta get all those “keywords” in there according to SEO best practice 😂 blah blah blah 😑

🌍 Crafted with Purpose, Not Just Production 🌍

At Green Dog, every accessory is hand-crafted with a commitment not just to detail, but to sustainability. It’s disheartening to see the rise of fast fashion in the pet industry, with mass-produced items often made far from home. While I respect the effort brands put into their overseas production, I believe in something different: the value of creating here, in the UK, where quality takes precedence over quantity. Expansion isn’t about increasing volume—it’s about enriching from within, with every piece made responsibly and thoughtfully.

Many have suggested I leverage my ability to speak Mandarin to “expand” by producing in China. But to me, true expansion is about deepening my values, not abandoning them for volume. Quality over quantity, always.

🐾 Waste Not, Want Not 🐾

In my studio, even the smallest scraps have a purpose. Instead of discarding leftover materials, I repurpose them into unique pieces. If you’ve visited me at markets, you may have seen one-of-a-kind items made from these bits and pieces which I can’t lie are always the first items to sell first 😂 .

📿 Introducing Scrap-Key Chains 📿

Thanks to the rising demand for my leads, I now have plenty of rope ends—and I’ve decided it’s time to share these unique key chains online. Just like my market pieces, each key chain is different. No two are alike, and once they’re gone, they’re truly gone. What you see is what you get; no standardisation here. That’s the beauty of handmade: it’s personal, unique, and created with care right here in the UK.

Celebrate uniqueness with me. Every piece you own is a piece of craftsmanship, a story, a choice for quality over fast fashion. 💚

Introducing the latest from Green Dog: our limited-edition studded leather collars, handcrafted from premium cowhide sourced exclusively from one of London’s oldest suppliers.
