The Dog Outdoors is a business started by husband and wife, Scott & Jenny. Below is their story...
Back in 2007, we were both working at a tech company in Austin,TX and our only "babies" were our two pups (Miniature Schnauzer) Brinkley and (Lab/Pointer mix) Parker. Parker was chewing up everything in the house. Daily hour-long walks were not enough for him. He needed to RUN.
We were desperate to find a way to exercise Parker when Scott found the Italian designed

The customer service doesn't exist. I've sent numerous emails without a single reply. I tried calling Dog Outdoors but the phone message says to send an email. I'm ready to contact the BBB.

I never received the collar! The 3rd party company did send the ID tag. I’ve sent numerous emails but never received a reply or the collar. When I called, the message says to send an email. The customer service is nonexistent!

To ride a bike with my 23 pound dog

I’m so thrilled that we decided to purchase the Buddy rider for our 23 pound Boston terrier. He adores riding with us and we get so many smiles and compliments. It is absolutely easy to install and writing with even a 23 pound dog is completely effortless since the weight is carried on the seat rather than the handlebars, I would highly recommend this for any dog owners who want to enjoy a bike ride without leaving their best friend at home.

The dog coat I ordered did not state that it has a leash opening, but I figured I could see it.

Great experience. The site is easy to navigate, the pricing (items and shipping) is reasonable, and checking out was quick and painless.

Excellent price on the item, and size, I was looking for.

It's the _only_ head halter I recommend to clients that need** one. **1) When they have a very strong and/or large dog that they (owner) cannot safely handle even with a front-clip harness with double leash attachments. 2) An owner who, for whatever reason, be it an injury, disability, or something else, needs more help for safety/management reason. Fwiw, in almost all cases, I consider the a temporary training aid, not the "end game" equipment wise.

It looks fantastic and should be perfect for my once stray pit bull to wear while strutting the streets of Manhattan! (Unfortunately I ordered a size too large, and am now sending the 3X back for this 2X version.)

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
