🚨 COVID may have knocked me down, but it sure as hell didn't knock me out! 💥

I turned 30 in the midst of this wild ride (thanks, COVID), and while I had big plans for a weekend blowout sale, life had other ideas. But guess what? I’m back, and so is the Belated Birthday Bash—bigger and badder than ever.

From today (8/23) until 8/30, I’m running three epic sales to make up for lost time:

🔥 50% off all "statement" collars—because the world needs to hear what your dog’s got to say. (Fu**er, F**k Off, Pro Roe, LGBTQ+… You know the vibe)

✨ 30% off custom text collars—your pup, your message. Let’s make it personal.

🎉 60% off all mystery collars—because who doesn’t love a good surprise?

Thanks for sticking with me through the chaos.

Orders will resume on Monday, 8/26, as I finally kick this virus to the curb. Let’s do this, wild hearts! 🖤

"I DO."
life.of.gsps 'ꪊꪀꪶꫀꪖડꫝ' 🏳️‍🌈P͎R͎I͎D͎E͎🏳️‍🌈

Say hello to Enzo, Bode, and their six siblings, the heart of a love story that's as unique as they are.

These pups brought their moms, Lauren and Alestra, together in an unexpected twist of fate. A play date to reunite siblings after 9 months apart for Enzo and Bode, turned into a lifelong bond for the entire pack.

Fast forward to now, Lauren and Alestra just said 'I do'! They chose June 10th, the pups' birthday, as their wedding day - a double celebration that's even more special as it falls in Pride Month.

Here's to a love story that started with a wag and a woof, and to a pack that keeps growing in love, adventure, and pride.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

“𝘿𝙤𝙜𝙨 don't care who we love, and neither should 𝙮𝙤𝙪!”
Laforge 'ꪊꪀꪶꫀꪖડꫝꫀડ' 🏳️‍🌈P͎R͎I͎D͎E͎🏳️‍🌈

"Growing up in the Bible Belt as a q***r teen I’ve never really felt like I belonged or even felt safe talking about it aside from a few close friends.
I preferred to be antisocial, as I knew I wasn’t '𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮 ' and frowned upon by so many.
I was shut down a lot of the time. I found friends & community online, rather than in person. I’m extremely introverted so I thought that’s how it would always be...

Cut to today, I’ve found community & acceptance for the most part in the dog community online & even off!

When my partner & I joined the local chapter & met more dog loving friends, no one ever questioned anything. We were instantly accepted.

Yes, LaForge & have two moms. 𝓢𝓸 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽? Nobody cared!

There was no interview about our lives (which I truly don’t mind curious people but it can get old if we just met and you’re trying to suss out personal details of our lives.), no questions on how that works, & no problems!

I felt and still feel that we fit in just as much as everyone else. And that’s all I ever wanted in the first place.

"True belonging doesn't require you to change who you are; It requires you to 𝘽𝙀 who you are."

'ꪊꪀꪶꫀꪖડꫝꫀડ' 🏳️‍🌈P͎R͎I͎D͎E͎🏳️‍🌈

"For so long I was living a life of someone else, living up to those expectations that were unrealistic.

My family, my own blood looked down on me simply for who I loved. It was at that moment I knew 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬.

Family should not be defined by blood… it should be the people who are here for me whenever I need them to be...

I started slowly piecing together my life, finding those who supported me and picking out the ones who didn’t. It took time, a lot of it but I finally got to where I wanted to be.

Once I had my circle of chosen family, I came out to everyone. And guess what? They all already knew, they just never said any because it didn’t affect our relationships. Why? Because being gay isn’t something to be ashamed about, or to be treated differently about, it’s being human.

I wanted to write this for all the people out there who are still in the closet, or are struggling with a non-supportive family.

I’m coming to you and telling you, it gets better.

𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲.

I was in your shoes once, and I know from experience how freaking difficult it is. Truly it is life draining, but I promise 𝒊𝒕 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓.

Keep being you, keep trying hard, and A͎L͎W͎A͎Y͎S͎ be your authentic self. That’s the most valuable thing you have in life, yourself."

"I knew from the time she was a toddler that this kid had so much love to give.

I clearly remember sharing with my husband and friends at the time that Tempe was going to love who she loved, for the person they were, and that gender would come second.

Many years later, I was not surprised in the least when in casual conversation, she told me, "Hey Mom, I'm definitely bisexual, but I think I might just be gay." I knew, kiddo. I've always known.

Even though I knew, I still had some reservations. Although things are much different now than when I was a child, I was still afraid of the adversity she might face.

My biggest promise to her is that I'll be with her through every step of her journey, helping to find 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚, 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚." -.of.reckless.abandon

🌈 We're not just a brand, we're a community... Seriously!

A community of dog lovers, adventure seekers, and individuals who believe in love in ALL its forms.

This Pride Month, I really wanted to celebrate the intersection between the LGBTQ+ & DOG communities and the unique stories that come from being a part of both!!

While I'm not a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I believe it's important as an ally to use my platform to amplify these voices and experiences.

Throughout the month, I'll be sharing stories from LGBTQ+ members of our community.

Stories of acceptance, support, and the unique bond between people and the dogs who love us regardless.

Let's celebrate Pride Month by celebrating our community - in all its diversity...

'𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮.'

Dogs don't care who we love, and neither should you!!!

🏳️‍🌈 I stand firmly on the statement that Katahdin Collar Co. believes in the power of love and the importance of acceptance. PERIOD.

I know that for members of the LGBTQ+ community, love and acceptance can sometimes be hard to come by. That’s why it’s so important for me to use my platform to spread love and positivity.

But don't get it twisted, I wholeheartedly recognize that Pride Month is not just about celebrating love, but also about acknowledging the struggles and discrimination that the LGBTQ+ community continues to face. I stand in solidarity with my LGBTQ+ friends and family, and I will continue to use my platform to advocate for equality and acceptance.

My Pride collars are fashionable yeah... but they're a symbol of inclusivity and support FIRST... When your dog wears one of my collars, ANY of my collars... they are spreading a message of love and acceptance wherever they go.

I am proud to support the LGBTQ+ community and will continue to do so every day, not just during Pride Month.

Love knows no boundaries, and neither do I 😂

Happy Pride Month! I love you and your dog(s).

Let’s celebrate love in ALL its forms and continue to spread kindness and acceptance on every adventure we embark on. 🌈❤️🐾

I don't get personal on here often...

BUT, this collar really holds a special place in my heart. It's design reminds me of the first "real" adventure I brought Rebel on.

This Acadia trip was a turning point for us. It was there (second picture) that Rebel first showed signs of reactivity, a moment that stays frozen in my mind. It was as enlightening as it was heart-wrenching.

I saw the discomfort in her eyes, the fear, and it was a wake-up call. I realized that my attempts to 'socialize' her were not helping and I'd actually set her up for failure.

Talk about a bitter pill to swallow, but it set us on a path of understanding and growth I could have NEVER imagined. It taught me that my dog doesn't NEED to be friends with every dog we come across, and that dog parks are NOTTTTTTT the be-all and end-all of socialization.

The 'Acadia Pines' collar is a symbol of this journey to me. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best way to love our dogs is to understand them, to manage their fears, and to advocate for them.

Every dog, reactive- or not, deserves to explore the world in their own way.

Eight years later (last photo), Rebel and I share an unspoken communication that's nothing short of magical. We've learned to navigate her fears AND mine together, and in doing so, we've embarked on countless adventures.

So here's to the 'Acadia Pines' collar, a tribute to all the Rebels out there, and the humans who love them, fear and all. 🌲🐾

RELEASE DATE: JUNE 1st. | 2PM EST.
COLLECTION: Parks + Peaks | Design 1 of 2.

Are you ready to turn every adventure into a story worth telling?
