OTIS LEATHER COMPANY

Otis Leather Company is named after my oldest lab, Otis. Having never owned a hunting dog, I purchased Otis in the fall of 2001. At the time, I knew nothing about training a dog, so I sought the help of the folks at Texas Panhandle Hunting Retriever Club, an organization that would later become important in developing Otis Leather Company. As Otis got older and started to turn into a waterfowling dog, I started looking for unique training equipment that would help me be a better trainer. What I found was neither unique nor made well, so I used my skills working with leather to start making leashes that would be functional and last for a long time. Later, I made my first duck strap that would become the prototype for many of the products I make today.
