Dog Works

At Dog Works® we offer unique equipment for incredible working dogs. Our specialty is draft work, especially carting equipment. INSPIRATION "Deep inside every puppy lie instincts: natural inherited talents subconsciously motivating him." For countless generations his forefathers have been our partners. Through selective breeding, we've honed his natural instincts molding his mind and motivations distinctly for our purpose. Most breeds in existence today were originally bred for some service to man. Now, the vast majority are confined to the duties of family pet which may not appease their instinctive motivations and may often result in so-called "mis"-behaviors. A puppy whose instincts are channeled and encouraged early in life will begin to understand what's going on in his head. Working by his person's side, he can mature into a confident partner shining with purpose. He'll know who he is and be a happier, better behaved pet because of it. If you're very lucky, a particular relationship you share with a special dog will impact your life. When you work with a dog enough to become true partners, you've come to know someone you otherwise would never have met. It happened to me. I hope it happens for you, too.~Beth Ostrander, Founder COMPANY HISTORY Founded in 1992 by Beth and John Ostrander in order to make quality draft & water rescue equipment readily available due to their experience and love of these Newfoundland sports.
