Rocky Mountain Dog Introduces Okanagan-Inspired Leash and Collar Collection

Rocky Mountain Dog, a Calgary-based lifestyle brand specializing in adventure gear for dogs, has announced the launch of two new products in its All Mountain collection: the Okanagan All Mountain Dog Leash and the Okanagan Alpine Dog Collar. Inspired by British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, the new collection blends performance-driven design with regional storytelling, celebrating the landscapes, history, and culture of the iconic region.

The Okanagan Valley is known for its sunny climate, rolling vineyards, and lakefront trails. The design of the new leash and collar draws from recognizable elements such as Okanagan Lake, vineyards and orchard farms, the historic Kettle Valley Rail Trail with its trestle bridges, and the legendary lake creature Ogopogo, a cultural symbol deeply rooted in the region’s identity.

“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. Every pattern we create is inspired by a real place, and we hope this collection encourages more people to get outside and explore with their dogs.”

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 on long outings, 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 continues the Alpine series’ focus on everyday reliability and outdoor durability. Designed for dogs who move seamlessly between urban environments and outdoor adventures, the collar prioritizes comfort, strength, and simplicity. It features lightweight yet durable adventure-grade webbing, a secure aluminum D-ring for leash attachment, and a dedicated ID tag holder designed to reduce noise during movement. 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. This launch highlights the company’s commitment to celebrating real places and encouraging outdoor exploration with dogs. For the Texas audience, the introduction of regionally inspired gear underscores a growing trend in pet product design that blends local culture with functional innovation, potentially influencing how Texas-based outdoor brands connect with their communities.
