The Start of Something New
Our Story
From Concept to design
Dog Den Story
Every time I lace up my boots, Margie, my dedicated working cocker is already at my side, knowing that adventure is around the corner. Whether we’re heading out to the fields, out on the farm, or taking a road trip in the pickup, she’s always with me. Our dogs aren’t just pets - they’re loyal partners who give everything out in the field. But after a long day, they need a safe place to rest and recharge. That’s exactly why I created the Dog Den: to give dogs like Margie a place they can call their own. Every detail, component and characteristic has been specifically designed and tested in real conditions to protect your best friends no matter what the next adventure brings.

It all began at home
An innovative approach
The idea came from a real need. Living in the countryside, I struggled to find a dog box that was tough enough to handle the rugged demands of working life, while still being easy to move between different vehicles, ATVs or back at home. Most crates just didn’t live up to those expectations, so I decided to create something that did. That’s when the Dog Den was born, built to be versatile, strong, and secure, with the needs of working dogs in mind.
The Den’s innovative double-wall rotomolded design provides strength, unparalleled safety and insulation, keeping dogs cool on hot days and warm when the temperature drops. And because life with a working dog is unpredictable, the Dog Den is built to be lightweight and easy to move, making it just as adaptable as the dogs it’s built for.
An Exciting Future
Our vision for 2025
The future of Dog Den is filled with excitement. Since we launched just six months ago, Dog Den has grown from a simple idea into something much bigger. We are currently developing a larger model, perfect for housing two Labradors, and in 2025, we’ll be launching a single-sized range, designed for owners who need a more compact solution and for dogs that thrive in the outdoors.
For me, Dog Den is more than just a product. It’s about giving back to the working dogs that bring so much joy to our daily lives. As we continue to grow, we’re excited to see how Dog Den can make a difference for even more dogs and owners, both nationally and internationally. Margie, like all working dogs, deserves the best, and ensuring her safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Our journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead.
