At Go Happy Dog Leashes we believe in making the world a better place, and we do so by having three primary missions: Our first mission is up-cycling. Our company works hard everyday to help keep used climbing rope out of various landfill sites. We work with local and national companies, recruiting rope that would otherwise end up in a landfill, and turn it into beautiful, hand crafted, tough dog leashes. We also reuse paper and packaging materials, so don't be surprised if a package arrives at your door that looks like it has been somewhere else first, because it probably has. This is part of our commitment to up-cycling to the greatest degree that we can. Our second mission shelter support. We donate a portion of every leash sale to local and national shelter organizations. We believe in giving back to shelter animals in return for what they give us everyday: love, compassion and companionship. In addition, we encourage you to donate your time, your energy or your money to a local a

History

Established in 2013.

Accompanied by Romeo and Lexi, two dogs that he adopted from the local shelter, Ethan Zimmerman cuts, seals, clamps, and heats tubing into one of the most unique dog leashes around. A truly made in Montana product from a dog lover and entrepreneur. The Go Happy Dog Leash company is unlike any other business of it's kind. These are not your ordinary dog leashes. Forget the flat web dog leash that falls apart over time or the leather leash that eventually cracks from too much rain. Go Happy Dog Leashes are made to last. Their affordable leashes are made from gently used, or "up-cycled" climbing rope. Climbing rope is made to withstand all sorts of weather conditions and are built to support very heavy loads. This is why it is perfect material for a dog leash. "We wanted to make the kind of leash that we would use with our own dogs, one that is strong, durable and can make it through many Montana winters," says its founder, Ethan Zimmerman, also known as the Chief Leashologist at Go
