 I know how difficult it is to find equipment that really works. I started designing service dog equipment because there was a serious lack of good quality, user-friendly gear out there. There was a gap between what people needed and what was available.  Every day I strive to help people find solutions that will make their lives better. – Katrina Boldry, Owner & Designer

BLD is a leader in specialized equipment for working and service dogs. With over 15 years of dedicated research, experience, and consultation with canine professionals of all kinds, we are continuously developing and improving our unique, specialized dog harnesses. In order to ensure our functional harnesses are designed for correct fit and load distribution to minimize impact on the dog’s physiology, we follow the latest science on harness research.

Owner and designer Katrina Boldry has pioneered specialized assistance dog harnesses that considered not only the dog’s physiology, but also how the human partner impacts the dog through their use of the equipment. Developed with advisement and approval from orthopedic specialists, physiotherapy/rehabilitation experts, and service dog organizations, BLD’s mobility/balance assistance harnesses have set the gold standard in the service dog industry.
