About us- dog performance gear- grossenbacher

We thought you might be interested in getting to know us a little more.  

 

Below is the story of how Dog Performance Gear was created in 2015 and started selling the best dog harness on the market. We felt like North American dog owners were missing out on a well-designed harness for them and their dogs' active lifestyles.

 

Indeed, most harnesses on the market are very restrictive in the dog’s movement so we decided to sell the best designed harnesses in the world and become the only company in North America to sell these Swiss products. We partnered up with Grossenbacher, a company that provides a wide selection of innovative products for dogs all across Europe and now, thanks to this valued partnership, in North America.  By working with Grossenbacher, our goal is to share our passion for these products with all the dog lovers on this continent.

 

 

We know that owners with dogs with an active lifestyle strive to find the right fit and style for their loyal friend.  Currently, our harnesses cater to dogs that range from small to large.  Extra small, extra large dogs or dogs with really unique needs in harnesses may be offered in the future. (We need to keep some exciting stuff for the future too, right!)  As a matter of fact, we see Dog Performance Gear expanding into other high quality products, in the future, to create a joyful and stylish life for both the owners and their dogs.  



Here’s the bottom line:  Dog Performance Gear was created to provide a high quality harness design to fit the active North American dog.



Our brand values:

 

  • High quality: Superior quality for the North American dog. (They are Swiss made after all!)
  • Functional and Durable: Practical, reliable and long lasting dog harnesses for your best friend. (We actually joke that we don’t get much repeat business because our Dog Performance Gear harnesses last forever.)
  • Aesthetic Design: the perfect combination of balance, color, texture, movement, pattern, scale, weight, shape and comfort. Enhanced functionality with attractive layouts.
