Back to School? No! Back to the Backcountry (with 15% off)!


Back-to-school? No! Let's make the most of what's left of summer and head back to the back-country instead!

To celebrate the last days of summer, Rad Dog is offering 15% off your entire dog gear order at www.myraddog.com. That means 15% off all the items perfect for a fall frolic down the trail.

What might you be able to do with all that rad gear for your dog? Well, there's the Rad Dog essentials, like the revolutionary Release 'N Run dog leash/collar in one; the only collar on the market with patented, retractable leash stowed right into the base of a collar. Take you dog for a hike with tons of off-leash freedom, then grab the stowed away leash when critters, other dogs, or leash laws require a little restraint.

For your fall travels, there's the handy food caddy, our Feed Bag, that holds up to six pounds of food (for dogs with big appetites), and folds down to get smaller as your food starts to deplete. It's also perfect for bringing to the dog sitter or kennel for fall adventures where there are no pups allowed.

Earth Day Tips for Earth-Friend Dog Owners

We know that dogs like to run on the green.

We know good dog food can cost you some green.

We even know that dogs can glow green with jealousy if not getting enough attention.

But what's less obvious is how you, as an earth-conscience dog owner, can help ensure you are as environmentally "green" as possible when it comes to raising your pup.

It doesn't have to be an enormous effort on your part to green up your practices and become a more earth-friendly dog owner. Simple eco-friendly initiatives work too! So, in honor of Earth Day (April 22nd), we've listed six simple ways to reduce your carbon paw-print!

How to Be a More Environmentally-Friendly Dog Owner


1. Go bulk. When you can, buy dog treats and food in bulk, to help cut down on packaging waste. In addition, try to avoid foods and treats with pesticides, opting for more natural ingredients.

2. Start cooking. Another alternative to natural dog food is preparing and cooking your own dog food. Making your own dog food is healthier, can cost less than some organic dog food blends, and cuts down on packaging waste. You can also make other homemade dog products, like dog toys and dog shampoo.

3. Pick up. Dog waste is bad for the environment and litters our trails. It is important to pick up after your Rad Dog on the trail, but you could be doing a lot of environmental damage with the types of waste bags you use, too. Opting for a plant-based dog waste bags is an easy way to green up your pick up routine.

4. Search the shelter. Finding a home for a shelter dog isn't just good philanthropy, it's eco-friendly too! By choosing a shelter dog, you are making more room in our shelters, discouraging the mistreatment of animals, and helping maintain a healthy pet population of spayed, neutered and immunized dogs.

5. Lasting products. Purchasing quality product that last means less consumerism, less packaging, fewer natural resources, and less money! The Rad Dog Release 'N Run is the perfect example of a lasting product where less is more. One purchase, one package and you get a long-lasting leash AND collar in one. And, because it's made with Cordura® climbing webbing and Spectra® cord (one of the world's strongest and lightest fibers), the Release 'N run is strong enough for dogs weighing up to 110lbs. The internal retracting mechanism, originally designed for extended use in salt water by scuba divers and for the tethering of tools and weapons for the police and military, has been designed for maximum strength and durability. This means you get a quality, long-lasting product you may never have to replace. 

6. Respect the outdoors. Keeping your dog on-trail means that there is no opportunity for them to disrupt fragile plant and animal life. There is nothing greener than enjoying the outdoors, but dogs and owners alike must do it with respect for our precious outdoors.

Just a few simple steps in the right direction, and you and your dog can dramatically reduce your carbon paw print this Earth Day!

Five Clever DIY Dog Costumes Made from Rad Dog Gear

Why should kids get to have all the fun on Halloween? Dogs are part of the family too! So, we decided to tap into our inner Pinterest and come up with some clever ideas for homemade dog costumes using our very own Rad Dog gear as part of the costume.

Here's what we came up with:

1. The Ball and Chain. Use a black Rad Dog Double Duty Leash and attach plastic "ball and chain" to the end of it (found at many dollar stores and costume shops, or just paint some foam ones from the craft store). Let your dog carry their own burden this Halloween!


2. Cold Weather Rescue Dog. Attach a mini-keg to your St. Bernard or Malamute by zip-tying it to their Release 'n Run leash/collar in one. Bonus points because you don't have to attach a separate leash to their costumed neck wear. You can even fill the keg with water, and carry around a pocket bowl for on the move, trick-or-treat hydration!


3. Skeleton T-Shirt. Cut your Rad Dog Unleashed T-Shirt into a festive skeleton or ghost design for you or your dog to wear. Or, make matching ones!


4. Doggie Park Ranger. Arm your dog with Rad Dog Waste Bags, a "Pick up Your Poop" sign, and a park ranger hat, and "Poof!" You have a clever, funny, and relevant dog Halloween costume. Just be sure to practice what you preach, and "leave no trace" behind on the sidewalks. 

5. Red Cross Doggie. What better costume than a dog willing to help another dog in need? Just add a red cross to their back, a feed bag full of emergency assistance food, and a stethoscope and you've got a First Aid doggie!


Remember, as with any article of clothing, gear, or accessory, be sure there is nothing attached to your dog's costume that could cause them any harm or danger such as loose pieces around their neck,  choking hazards, or items that will endanger their mobility. Keep a watchful eye on your dog when in costume, and, as tempting as it may be, keep them out of the candy bowl!

Happy Halloween, Raddies! Woof or Treat!

Enhance The Dog-Owner Experience

In the spring, you can change activities as quickly as the weather changes.  One minute, you are taking a leisurely mid-day stroll around the park, the next you are dodging a downpour while hiking.  You may even get a few sunny days on the beach, river, or lake.
Whatever the weather and wherever the geographic region, there's one thing we know about dog owners: if they are out adventuring, they want their dog alongside them. We call it the "dog owner experience." It's why no dog owner ever has to walk, hike, or adventure alone. It's an outing with your best friend.

To make sure nothing gets in the way of a dog and their owner venturing to the outdoors together, the owners of Rad Dog (Brian and Paula) developed the Release 'N Run dog leash (and collar) in one.  They felt that dog and owner adventures would be enhanced if the dog's gear was as ready to go as the dog itself.

Sick of fumbling around for gear and holding a dog leash during outdoor adventures, Paula and Brian developed a "grab-and-go" leash.

Have you been stuck searching for your leash, or left holding the leash once out on the trail?  Then consider the Release 'N Run dog leash and collar in one. It was developed to make a better outdoor dog owner experience, with these five advantages in mind:

leash collar in one
1. All the Gear You Need Right Where You Left Your Dog.  

No more fumbling around for a leash, collar, or any other gear.  Everything you need is right where you left your dog, so adventures are as easy as calling out Fido's name and slipping out the front door.  In fact, your dog will probably be waiting on you, wondering why it takes so long to tie your shoes and fill up your water bottle.

2. All the Function, Nothing Extra. 

Rad Dog is gear for those who like to travel light.  So we created a leash and collar in one that provides everything you need to grab your dog and go, and nothing more.  No tricky clips. No leash adjustments. No heavy equipment. Just the simplicity of a collar with the function of 4-foot retractable leash to use whenever leash activities beckon.

3. Lightweight, But Surprising Strength.

Because we know our customers like to travel light, you can be sure we made our Release 'N Run as lightweight as possible--ounces in fact! But don't let that fool you into thinking this can't hold your big, rad dog!  The Release 'N Run, made with climbers webbing and Cordura® and Spectra® cord (one of the world's strongest and lightest fibers), is strong enough for use on dogs weighing up to 110 pounds. In addition, the internal retracting mechanism on our retractable collar/leash in one, is made for maximum strength and durability.  In fact, it was originally designed for the tethering of tools and weapons for the police and military.

4.  There When You Need It, Gone When You Don't.

When out on walk, run, or ride, who wants to be stuck holding the leash? What do you do with it once your dog is free to wander?  Well, you can tie it around your waist, or train your dog to hold it in its mouth, OR...you can simply let go and let the leash on the Release 'N Run retract back into the dog's collar.  Once fully retracted, the sleeve covers retracting mechanism and handle, so your dog is free to roam without getting caught up. So it's a collar most of the time, and leash when you need it.

5. Ready in a Flash.

Outings with your dog should be as spontaneous and hassle-free as possible.  What's better than an impromptu jump out of the car to explore or a last-minute stroll around the block?  With the Release 'N Run, your dog is always prepared in a flash for the next great adventure.

Likewise, once out on your adventure, your dog can go from meandering to under leash control in seconds.

Many great adventures are unplanned. You and your dog can be ready to take on the next great spontaneous adventure with the Release 'N Run collar and dog leash in one. There's no need to plan ahead, with the Release 'N Run dog collar, everything you need is right where you left your dog.
