About us

Our mission is to bring you and your dog more joy!

We feel the best way to do this is to enhance your ability to do three things with your dog:

  • Connect
  • Communicate
  • Control

By connect we mean you spend more quality time with your dog, they’re not just there (like a goldfish!). 

By communicate we mean you tell your dog what to do with your voice, your body, and your touch in a way the dog knows exactly what you want from it, there’s no guessing for you or your dog.

And control means you go out with your dog empowered to take control of whatever you’re doing and wherever you’re going — you are the master of your dog, and yourself.

 

Our Values


We value honesty, integrity, loyalty and openness.

This means we believe in doing what we say we’re going to do, backing the people and animals in our lives so we can all succeed together, and always being open to hearing or seeing others needs, and desires.

 

Our team


We are a cottage-industry business.

So our team is made up of our co-founders Ollie and Nina, and their two dogs Chip and Buffy! Additionally, we acknowledge the support of our extended team such as our wonderful suppliers, customers, and dog training experts.

Achievements


We’ve recently started shipping internationally, so it’s brilliant to share this solution with the world. New Zealand is full of inventive people, who believe in low-frills solutions-oriented products, services and ideas. We’re proud to carry on that cultural tradition.

 

Community

Because our product was inspired by kiwi-aversion trainers in the far north of New Zealand, we will donate some proceeds from sales annually to conservation efforts in both New Zealand, and abroad.

We love nature, and we bet you do too!
