About Us

We’re a group of long time friends who enjoy the simple pleasures of a woodland walk or a trail hike. But what really gets us? All that unnecessary waste. It got us thinking, and we came up with a practical solution - turning old climbing ropes into dog leashes. Each leash we make locally has its own history and future, without adding to the waste problem. Whether you have design ideas, retired ropes to donate, or you’d like to purchase one of our leashes - we welcome you to join us, helping us address waste one leash at a time.

We'd love to hear from you! Whether you're curious about our upcycling process, want to learn more about our unique leashes, or simply want to share your pet's latest adventure, we're all ears. Drop us a line, and let's chat about turning waste into wonder together!

Knotty Paw Sustainability Pledge

Sustainability | Community | Adventures

At Knotty Paw, we believe in adventures that leave lasting footprints on our lives, not on our planet. We pledge to breathe new life into retired climbing ropes, transforming them into practical and durable pet products that tell a story of exploration and respect for the earth. By upcycling these ropes, once reaching for the summit, we reduce waste and honor our commitment to a sustainable world where nature is not just admired but actively preserved.

Community is at the heart of our mission. We strive to weave strong connections among our customers, climbers, and partners, fostering a network united by a shared vision of environmental stewardship. By championing local craftsmanship and nurturing collaboration, we aim to inspire a movement where respect for the environment binds us all.

Our approach is based on the joy of discovery and the bonds we share with our pets. We design our products to ignite a spirit of adventure, encouraging you to explore responsibly and deepen your connection with the natural world. With every Knotty Paw leash, we invite you to join us in experiencing our planet as partner in our ongoing adventure together.
