Hey, I’m Andrea!
I'm a multi-certified dog trainer, behaviour educator, and the person behind For The Dogs.
I started studying canine development, behaviour, and health in 2020. Since then I've become multi-certified and worked across humane societies, rescue agencies, and with individual clients and families.
I help people move toward evidence-based protocols that build trust and understanding with their dog, leaving outdated training methods behind. Practicing real understanding and care for a dog can lead to one of the most significant relationships in your life. Supporting that process is why I love working one on one with clients.
After years of recommending longer leashes to my clients, crafting them myself became a natural extension of my business.
Why 8 feet?
When people ask why I won't make leashes shorter than eight feet, the answer is simple: dogs are sentient beings, and safe choice in how they interact with their environment supports their physical and emotional wellbeing.
Made With Purpose
A leash is meant for safety, not control.
What you gain in length, you also gain in security and practicality.
Biothane is tested to hold 1,000 pounds per inch of width, and unlike nylon, it won't fray, rot, or break down over time. It's also water-resistant and odour-proof, built to handle whatever the walk brings.
