How-To instructions for Good Walker Leash installation

"We saw these eye-opening advances in the Good Walker Leash technology at the SuperZoo conference in Las Vegas last month and as a doggy daycare owner, I recognized that we sorely needed these advanced leashes in our facility as well as being able to market them to North American customers online. Without argument, they provide the dog owner with greater control and dogs greater comfort during their outdoor excursions."

The Good Walker Leashes deliver multiple benefits including:

  • Reduction in the dog's pulling.
  • Improved control over dog due to unique leverage points on the leash.
  • Two leashes in one--both a slip leash and head halter.
  • Safety and comfort for both dog and owner.
  • Calming effect on dogs.
  • Proudly made in the USA.

About Good Walker Leashes

Designed by the owner of Aly's Puppy Boot Camp in California, Aly recognized there was not a single leash that delivered everything she desired in a leash after training thousands of dogs. There were times a sand-proof leash hardware was required at the beach. And other times when a hands-free leash allowed her greater freedom with her canine. Or simply a longer leash for those times her dog wanted to explore. More than a leash, it's a training tool that produces increased calm and improved behavior.

Sasha’s Pet Resort Extends Brand with E-commerce Initiative to Market Latest in Pet Technologies and Facility Infrastructure Components to Doggie Daycares, Kennels and Veterinarians

Date: July 29, 2025

Location: Redmond, WA

Sasha’s Pet Resort (store.sashaspr.com) opened in November 2019 in downtown Redmond, Washington, home of Microsoft.   Initially a profitable venture, itall changed once Covid-19 struck.  Bill Gates told employees to begin working from home!  And their school-age children and dogs followed suit.  Well, the dog census has since slowly reversed, trending upward. But none-the-less, Sasha’s founder and owner, Dan McFadden, felt that to scale his business to create sustainable profits, that a business pivot was in order.

“I assumed our business would remain brisk as it was on day one, but the pandemic hemmed us in.  We grew slowly, uncomfortably so.  I needed an approach that would leverage Sasha’s Pet Resort brand while still growing our doggie daycare and boarding business. I believe we found it!”  Store.sashaspr.com

McFadden continued, “I am a constant cheerleader of television’s Shark Tank.  And I lamented watching folks on the show get funded for hundreds of thousand dollars by the sharks to sell their latest inventions and product innovations while I realized that I had nothing to sell in an e-commerce setting.  Until the light bulb went off.  My failures!”

“I came to the realization, “McFadden added.  “That my failures could be valuable lessons to others who are starting up a doggy daycare and boarding business.  If I can prevent them from replicating my mistakes while selling them the most appropriate technologies to enhance their dog care facilities, we will be successful. Sasha’s Pet Resort’s pivot is not just about selling products; it’s about sharing knowledge hard-earned through trial and error. With its blend of authentic entrepreneurial spirit, community support, and a commitment to pet wellness, Sasha’s is poised to become a go-to resource for pet care businesses looking to innovate and avoid the pitfalls of early missteps.”

This e-commerce initiative aims to offer cutting-edge technology, from advanced wall systems to integrated air purification solutions—products handpicked based on real-world experience rather than theoretical advantage. McFadden is confident that the curated selection available at store.sashaspr.com will serve as both a toolkit for industry newcomers and a resource for seasoned professionals seeking to refresh their spaces with proven, practical enhancements.
