Our story
Hi, I’m Masha, the maker behind Wilderwoofs
It all started with Yoshi, my first dog. She came into my life and turned everything upside down in the best way. Spirited, independent, and full of life, she didn’t just make my childhood dream come true. She also set me on a new path.
Yoshi led me into the dog world and sparked my curiosity to learn more about dogs, their behavior, and their needs. We did a lot of fun training together, and through her, I started to truly understand what dogs need to feel comfortable, confident, and happy.
Like many dog people, I struggled to find gear that actually worked for us. Most leashes were too short, too heavy, or simply not built for real-life walks.
So I decided to make my own and began experimenting with different materials: polyester webbing, Biothane, and various types of rope. Some materials, like Biothane, felt too stiff, while some ropes burned hands easily. But once I tried climbing rope, I knew that was it. It felt good in hand, was durable, could handle being dragged on the ground, and was easy to care for.
That’s when Wilderwoofs truly began to take shape.
In 2024, I officially launched Wilderwoofs.
What started as a small side project quickly grew into my full-time passion. Since then, I’ve handcrafted over 700 leashes and received 80+ glowing reviews from fellow dog lovers. This brand was born from a real need, shaped by real walks, and inspired by a very real dog.
Every leash is made by hand in Amsterdam using durable climbing rope, carefully designed with freedom, function, and comfort in mind.
Each one is crafted with care and intention. Every knot is tied by hand, just for you and your dog.
With our tailored products, we hope to empower conscious pet parents who value quality, comfort, and connection on every walk.
