Rocky Mountain Dog today announced the launch of two new additions to its All Mountain collection: the Okanagan All Mountain Dog Leash and the Okanagan Alpine Dog Collar, both inspired by British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. The new products blend performance-driven design with regional storytelling, celebrating the landscapes, history, and culture of the area known for its sunny climate, rolling vineyards, and lakefront trails.
The design draws inspiration from the Okanagan Valley, Okanagan Lake, vineyards and orchard farms, and the historic Kettle Valley Rail Trail with its iconic trestle bridges. It also nods to local folklore through the legendary lake creature Ogopogo. "The Okanagan has a unique character that you can't find anywhere else in Canada," said Rob Johnson, Founder of Rocky Mountain Dog. "It's a place where vineyards meet mountain trails, orchards stretch to the lake, and local legends become part of the landscape. We designed this collection to reflect those iconic elements while celebrating the adventures that dog owners experience throughout the region."
The Okanagan All Mountain Dog Leash is engineered for active dog owners who demand versatility and control without sacrificing comfort. Designed for hiking, running, and everyday walks, the leash offers multiple carrying configurations, including hands-free waist and cross-body use. Key features include a zero-shock bungee section to reduce pulling strain, a neoprene-cushioned handle for comfort, a quick-grab traffic handle for close control, and integrated accessory attachment points. Built from adventure-grade, weather-resistant webbing, the leash is available in 6 ft (1.8 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m) lengths.
The Okanagan Alpine Dog Collar focuses on everyday reliability and outdoor durability. Constructed with lightweight yet durable materials, it features adventure-grade webbing, a secure aluminum D-ring for leash attachment, and a dedicated ID tag holder designed to reduce noise. At 25 mm (1 in) wide, it offers a balanced fit suitable for a wide range of dogs.
The new Okanagan Leash and Collar are available for sale on Rocky Mountain Dog's website and will soon be available through their retail partners. For business leaders in the pet industry, this launch highlights the growing trend of regionally inspired, performance-oriented pet products. The collection taps into the outdoor adventure market, which continues to expand as more consumers seek durable gear for shared activities with their dogs. The emphasis on hands-free configurations and weather-resistant materials addresses practical needs for active lifestyles, potentially influencing product development across the sector. Additionally, the integration of local storytelling adds a unique branding element that can differentiate products in a crowded market.
