| Nick and Amanda |
My name is Amanda and his name is Nick. We are both "twenty-somethings" trying to live life to the fullest. Nick grew up with a love for the outdoors. He hiked, biked, fished and camped as much as he could. Then I came along. As I fell in love with Nick and the outdoors, his hobbies quickly became our hobbies.

| Camping at Deam Wilderness - Fall 2009 |
Almost three years later, we've snowboarded in Montana, visited the beaches of Texas and found our favorite local hiking and biking spots. We don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

| Baby Toby |
Toby was adopted from the local shelter in the spring of 2009. Nick was told that he was a lab mix pup and his dreams of beautiful summers days playing fetch with Toby were quickly becoming reality. About a month after bringing him home, Nick realized something was terribly wrong with Toby's vision. After a few visits to the vet, Nick found out that Toby had severe vision loss and would never regain his sight. Despite Toby's poor vision, Nick continued to treat Toby as if nothing was wrong. Since then, Toby has grown into a sweet and confident boy.

| Baby Phinley |
In the fall of 2010, we decided that Toby needed a kind and loving companion with strong eye sight to guide him as his vision steadily became worse. We looked for months at different breeds and breeders and finally settled on a Vizsla. After seven months of waiting, we brought home our baby Phinley in March 2011. Phinley is truly a "velcro" dog and she and Toby have become the best of friends.

| Tacticool Dog Sling Family |
Even with Toby's poor vision, he always came along on all our outdoor adventures. Neighborhood walks, camping trips, hikes in the woods, and fishing trips were some of our favorite things to do as a family. When Phinley came home, our outdoor activities became more frequent. Toby had been trained with a solid, high quality leather leash and so was Phinley. While out on a summer hike at Griffy Lake, we realized we had a need for a leash that would free up our hands, but still keep our dogs close and under control. We turned to the internet to find what we had envisioned on our hike, but the few hands free leashes we found always seemed to come up short. Brainstorming and design started almost immediately and after a few weeks, our first concept leash was complete. Nick used random parts and supplies we had laying around the house and the Tacticool Dog Sling (TDS) MK1 was born.

The Tacticool Dog Sling: A tactical dog leash, born from a single point rifle sling, made for your dog.
Leashes are hand made for each individual. Cost for our new MK3 should be $20-$25 on average. They are available in a variety of colors. We also offer both nylon and water resistant polypropylene. Nylon has a breaking strength of 3,000lbs, the poly-pro only 900lbs, however it is more weather resistant.
Frees your hands while you walk! Easy to use! Comfortable, Stylish, Innovative! Quickly disconnect to easily tether your dog while you run inside to drop off your rent! No need to disconnect your dog from the leash! Take photos, adjust settings on your camera! Easily carry and drink beverages! Tie your shoes with ease! Great to use with a stroller! Text your mom, call your grandma, update your Facebook status, all while walking your dog! Great for multiple dogs! Perfect for long walks, hiking, and biking! Keep those hands free when walking with your kids! Great for multitasking, take out the trash, use a flash light, get your mail, unload your vehicle, etc! Keeps both hands free, God forbid, in a situation where you might need to defend yourself. Easily draw and use Mace or even a personal protection Firearm!
DISCLAIMER: This leash is not designed for beginners. It is not designed for aggressive dogs that tend to pull. This is NOT a training leash. This leash has been designed for dogs that are already leash trained. Use of this leash with aggressive dogs that have a tendency to pull when walked could result in the loss of control of your dog or worse; injury. This, however, can be true of any leash.
Feel the freedom you might other wise not know you had while walking your dog. Gain confidence while walking your dog! Your confidence will extend down the leash to your dog, making your dog feel much more comfortable! Dogs read our stress and anxiety. Let those worries dissipate with a hands free leash! Believe me, once you are comfy, so is your dog!
