Training tabs are a handy option for off leash adventures - the clip attaches to your dog's collar or harness, while the ring end hangs free, creating a quick grab option when you need to pass other hikers, or steep trail sections. The flat design minimizes the risk of tangling, and the ring at the end allows you to easily clip on your longer leash as well.
Perfect for the adventurous pup, all of our products are waterproof, stinkproof and stain resistant! All of our gear is made from Biothane, an extremely durable material that has the soft, flexible feel of broken in leather, even in freezing temperatures. Our products are completely vegan, and lovingly crafted by hand here in Canada.
Your dog can swim, run and roll (even in the stinky stuff!) to their heart's content, and you can stay stress free knowing that your GoodWolf accessories are up to the challenge. We firmly believe that every pup, big or small, deserves to unleash their inner wolf and explore the big, wild world where the sidewalk ends.
HARDWARE - Brass is our most popular finish, for good reason! Classic and bright, brass compliments any colour you choose, and holds up quite well to water use, as long as you follow the cleaning guide. Brass is great for durability and longevity, but as with all brass, (including fine jewelry) the metal will react with the air over time in a natural process called oxidation, which forms a fine, greyish/green carbon. It's quite easy to polish up with a soft cloth, but if you order a martingale collar for a dog with light fur at the neck, it may leave a line as the carbons rubs off! This generally doesn't happen with the buckle collars or slips, only the martingale style where the metal sits directly on the fur. In the description we mention this and suggest that white and blonde pups may prefer to go with our nickel hardware upgrade instead, since nickel doesn't oxide like brass. If you already have a collar with brass, giving the hardware a quick polish with a soft cloth every now and again should help reduce carbon build up and lessen transfer to your pup's fur. *All gold hardware is solid brass except the quick release buckles, which are brass plated.
Nickel - Nickel is a great choice on cooler tones, it really pops on blues, greens and black! Nickel is slightly lighter weight than brass, so it’s a good option if your dog has a more delicate neck. We also recommend it if you’re ordering a martingale collar for a dog with light or white fur at the neck, since it oxidizes much less than the brass does.
Black Hardware - Black hardware is a powder coated nickel or brass. It’s especially eye-catching against brighter or lighter colours! While our clients have found that the black holds up quite well over time, it must be kept in mind that this is still a coated material, so it can be scratched by sharp objects. A little black nail polish is a quick and easy way to hide a scratch, but if you’re looking for an option that won’t show any wear, we recommend the brass or nickel.
Galaxy Chrome - A dramatic blend of deep purples, cosmic greens, and cool chrome blues, the finish on this metal is out of this world! A true chameleon, Galaxy Chrome will reflect differently based on which colour you choose to pair it with. This finish has held up extremely well in all of our prolonged outdoor testing, but since it is a coated metal like the black hardware, some wear is possible over time.
To clean: simply rub a damp washcloth with a little bit of dish soap along the collar. For super smelly substances, add a spritz of white vinegar for extra odour neutralization.
*Make sure to rinse and dry all hardware thoroughly after swimming or washing.
Safety: Safety and durability are top priority at Goodwolf. We use 100% super heavy duty Biothane material and durable, thoroughly tested hardware for all of our products.

PROCESSING TIME - Our processing time is between 1 to 2 weeks. This is the time period that it takes for us to handcraft your order here in our shop, and does not include the shipping time. We do try to send out orders as quickly as possible, so your wait time may be far shorter than two weeks, but quality is our utmost priority, so during busy times for the shop, it can take up to the full two weeks to ensure that your new gear is absolutely perfect, and ready to take you on years of adventure. If you have a specific time frame in which you need an item, we encourage you to reach out to us first to check on our current schedule.
SHIPPING INFO - All orders are shipped via tracked mail. For the safety of your package, we do not offer a discounted untracked option. Orders to Canada and the U.S generally take between 3-5 business days to arrive. Overseas orders may take longer, as it takes time to be cleared through customs and transferred to your local postal service.
