I'm one of those people always on the hunt for just-the-right collar for my dog, Archer. Whether it be a holiday that was coming up, the season was changing, or just plain boredom with my current collar collection, I was constantly on the lookout for a great collar. Many times, I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I'd settle.

After graduating from college and landing a great job, I still wanted to find a way to use my creativity and be able to share it with others.

Who better to discuss this with than my dog?

Basically, Archer told me, “Hey, you know how you always get me new collars for different holidays and occasions? And you know how you can’t always find what you’re looking for? Well, why don’t you make collars?!” He had a point. I did some research and felt completely inspired. It was perfect.

Thus, I introduce to you… Nifty Pup! I’ve been gathering supplies, figuring out the right process and materials, and scouring shops and online for the best fabrics and ribbons I could find to make my shop and collars stand out. I’ve been loving every minute of this new venture.
