I make a variety of items from paracord related to training and showing dogs. Want to see all the colors I offer? Click here.

I started out making Grab Tabs, a short length of paracord braid attached to various sizes of clips. These are useful when transitioning to off-leash work.

Next, I started making Bucket Holders for soft-sided crates. This was a solution to a long-standing problem I had. I have found them to be very useful.

Zipper pulls came next. These handy little tabs on a clip make zipping and unzipping soft-sided crates so much easier! They are also a fun way to customize your crate(s) and make them stand out in a sea of similar crates.

A request from a student led me to making Collar Mates, which are used to attach a flat collar to a prong collar, to avoid the potential disaster of ending up with a leash and accidentally opened up prong collar in your hand while your dog dashes away from you.

At a trial in November 2018, someone asked if I was the person who made replacement crate handles. I hadn’t made any before, but using the same techniques as I use for making the Collar Mates, but using bigger clips and fatter paracord, a new product joined my lineup.

New crate handles allow Kim to carry two crates at once!
