The design of TinyHorse gear is a dynamic response to the demands of dog walking. An increased awareness of the transmission of bacteria and viruses is setting new standards for our industry – don’t reach for your client’s personal leash, BYOG!
Dog care professionals are an integral part of the social fabric that supports people with their canine companionships.

I considered how I might build that unique approach into the function of the products themselves, to rely less on the dog walker and more on "the physics."
