Feedback from Our Hero Families
The harness I purchased from BoatDog is a game-changer! It’s sturdy, comfortable, and I especially love the 4 metal buckles. It gives me peace of mind during outdoor adventures with my dog. I highly recommend!

Social Worker, RI
I love to jog with my dog and hate to carry my heavy phone in my sweatpants, so this harness is perfect for me. I put my phone in the see through pouch, pop my headphones in and off we go – great idea!

The attachable poop dispenser and 2 velcro patches that were included are great but it’s the thick extra padding that I love the most. We have been using ours for couple of months and our dog does not get a red rash like he did with our other harnesses.

I had another harness and the stitching ripped apart and you could tell it was cheap. My Captain Dog harnesses is built to last with the double stitching and thicker straps! The design is both functional and stylish, and it’s clear they put a lot of thought into every detail. I’ll definitely be a returning customer.

Scott Guilbeault
Founder & CEO
Scott founded BoatDog with a simple mission; to create high quality dog products that provide comfort, control, and security for both dogs and their owners. As a strong puller, Summer’s excitement on walks while using traditional collars often led to painful coughing and choking. Scott quickly realized that the collar was not safe, so he tried multiple harnesses that he purchased online and at local retailers. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality harnesses on the market, Scott saw an opportunity and set out to create a strong harness that would evenly distribute pressure, reduce pulling, and keep dogs comfortable without sacrificing safety. What started as a personal project, eventually evolved into BoatDog. The team spent over a year researching, testing, and designing a high-quality harness and the result was the launch of our Captain Dog Harness. Today our team is working on additional high-quality products so stay tuned!
