Heritage & History
2 Hounds Design was founded in 2003 by Alisha Navarro in Indian Trail, North Carolina, born from a personal need: Alisha needed a special martingale collar for her two retired racing Greyhounds and couldn't find one that worked well for their unique neck shape and sensitive skin. She invested $500 in raw materials, taught herself to sew, and began making her own collars in her spare bedroom.
What started as a solution for two retired Greyhounds grew steadily through word-of-mouth among dog owners who appreciated the quality of her work. By the time Alisha developed the Freedom No-Pull Harness — a dual-attachment design with a martingale loop that discourages pulling without pressure on the throat — the company had outgrown her home and moved into a 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility with over 50 employees. In 2023, 2 Hounds Design acquired Yellow Dog Design, expanding their North Carolina manufacturing footprint.
Made in Indian Trail, North Carolina
All 2 Hounds Design collars, leashes, and harnesses are made in the USA at the Indian Trail, North Carolina facility. The Freedom No-Pull Harness uses Swiss Velvet lining on the chest band to minimize chafing, four adjustment points for a precisely fitted silhouette, and both front and back attachment points — the dual-attachment configuration allows connection to both at once using the included training leash for maximum control. The harness discourages pulling through gentle martingale pressure rather than punishment.
The collar and leash line uses high-quality American-made webbing and hardware in a wide range of solid colors, patterns, and custom options. The Made in NC certification and North Carolina manufacturing footprint make 2 Hounds Design one of the most visible examples of successful American small business manufacturing in the pet supplies category. For dog owners who want USA-made pet gear with clinical-grade design thinking and verified domestic production, 2 Hounds Design delivers on both counts.
