Our Story
One summer afternoon, I was walking Dudley, my mini dachshund, when he froze in his classic “downward dog” stretch, staring and one inch eyeballing something in the grass. My first thought was, Uh-oh, what’s he found? Don’t roll in $%it!
But when I got closer, I saw Dudley had discovered a chewed-up, soggy cricket ball. I didn’t want to touch it, so I looped his leash around it and gave it a good yank—sending it flying about 10 meters.
Dudley took off like a rocket chasing it, and that’s when the idea hit me: What if I could launch balls with my dog leash?
From Leash to Launch
It all started with a $1 shop silicone egg poacher cut and stapled to some old webbing...and it worked! I showed a mate, and surprisingly, he thought it was a good idea! Then, we took it to some great local Aussie designers and kept testing, tweaking, redesigning and improving it until we created the Sling Leash!
A leash that stores a ball near the handle and launches with crazy accuracy and distance. The problem was, with the bags of balls being launched during testing, Dudley worked out the fetching wasn’t about him and his early passion waned!
Don’t worry we promise, your dog will love it!
Rusty, the Ultimate Fetch Tester
Rusty, the Cavoodle, stepped up and became our official product tester. With boundless energy and enthusiasm for chasing balls, Rusty helped us perfect
the design.
And now, if his Dad goes anywhere near the Sling Leash he goes absolutely out of his mind CRAZY with excitement!
So, we knew we were onto something special.
Join the Sling Leash Fun!
Now we’re excited to share Sling Leash with you! It’s the perfect way to make
fetch even more fun, and we’ve created easy-to-follow how-to videos to get you started.
We hope you and your dog love it as much as we do.
From two Aussie dog lovers on a mission to bring more joy to dogs and their humans. 🐶❤️!
