JAK + PHIL: The Perfect Leash for Every Dog Owner
Treat yourself to a leash that’s ultra-lightweight, water-resistant, dirt-repellent, and incredibly strong – designed with dog owners in mind. After months of researching different types of ropes from climbing, marine, equestrian, and arborist lines, Jenn (aka JAK) found the ideal combination of form, function, and style for a leash that works for all types of dogs. Each leash is lovingly handcrafted by Jenn in her home workshop in Marin County, CA. Plus, 10% of profits from every sale are donated to animals in need. This is the perfect gift for dog owners who want to help their community. Be sure to check out JAK + PHIL’s best-selling, signature leashes!
