One-of-a Kind: All the leather used on your Junkyard Dog Leash is upcycled during the production of steering wheels and head rests from the auto industry. Each one has its own tone and shade, making it truly unique.
Why the Organic Cotton? We take pride in elevating sustainable alternatives that are good for you, your dog, and the planet. Cotton is superior to synthetics like polyester (made from oil) nylon ( made from oil) or BioThane( made from plastics) because organic cotton is free from toxic chemicals, doesn’t contribute harmful emissions, it’s sustainably harvested, and can be composted at the end of it’s useful life vs synthetic materials that can take thousands of years to break down in a landfill. Also no one wants their dog chewing on micro-plastics so we spent years testing and researching how to do a lightweight version of our leash with sustainable materials. It's the leash we can do. (pun intended!)

Shipping
Since the majority of our products are made to order, we try our hardest to ensure orders ship quickly. Most accessories ship within 3-5 business days after the order being placed. If the product is made to order- you'll see the estimated days needed to make your handmade piece in bold on that respective product page. Footwear will ship based on the month included on the receipt emailed to you and the name in the Title when you checked out.
Returns
We want you to be happy, and tell your friends, family, and co-workers about your Piece of Pingree a decade from now how well it's still holding up, so we will stand by our product for life. If the stitching or any hardware fails on one of our products within 365 days of the product arriving to you, we cover the cost of getting it shipped back to us to repair and shipping it back to you at no extra cost. After the warranty, for the Life of Your Product, if anything breaks on it from normal use (please don't use our dog leashes to lift engines out of cars--even though they can hold it) - all you pay is the labor it costs us to repair it and the shipping expense.
Customer Reviews

Why Pingree is Different?
At Pingree Detroit, we’re not just crafting products—we’re designing impact into everything we do. Every product we make is a testament to our commitment to sustainability, quality, and neighborhood resiliency. By using upcycled leather, we’re reducing waste and turning it into handcrafted goods that stand the test of time. But what truly sets us apart is the people behind the work.
We proudly employ Detroiters and Veterans; paying a living wage and reinvesting 77% of profits back into the workers and neighborhoods where we work. Being rooted in a mission-driven environment, working with your hands, and being part of something bigger than yourself is restorative. You can be proud knowing your purchase is making a difference and you’ll know who it’s making a difference for, since each product comes with a "Maker Card".
We LOVE Sustainable Products
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our products are crafted using upcycled leather that would otherwise go to the landfill. By giving this leather a second life, we’re reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact while delivering high-quality goods built to last.
But sustainability isn’t just about the materials; it’s about reimagining "waste" and designing around circularity. From our eco-conscious production and shipping methods to our commitment to maximizing well-being for our workers, customers, and the environment, we believe every step matters. When you choose a Pingree product, you’re choosing something better—for the planet, for people, and for our collective future.
