Walk in the Bark

Walk in the Bark Walk in the Bark is an online pet boutique selling handmade dog collars custom made to order in our

At first, Walk in the Bark was just an idea with no particular driving force. The only thing I knew was that 1) I wanted to be successful 2) I wanted a job that I love and 3) I wanted to be my own boss. Eventually, after 25 years of wishing for and wanting a dog of my own, I finally did the research and brought home my beautiful Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Decker. He inspired me to not onl

y revolve my personal life around him, but also my professional one as well. It started with a dog walking and pet sitting business that I opened, also named Walk in the Bark, which is still growing and developing. When I wanted to add another aspect to my business I thought creating dog collars and accessories would be such a fun and creative way to expand my business! I am so glad that I have begun this journey and can showcase my creative side in a job that I love and am passionate about. I look forward to see where Walk in the Bark can take me, and I hope you follow me on the ride!

I am writing this post that I don’t think I ever truly believed I’d be writing.

Something really exciting is happening. After over 8 years of owning and being in the pet accessory business, we are transitioning to new ownership.

Myself, Natasha, will no longer be apart of WITB or it’s brand. I am passing the torch along to the most wonderful and deserving woman who I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last 16 months. Rochelle Candiotti, WITB’s seamstress, will be taking over this business and renaming and rebranding it to SewShelPetwork. An absolutely genius play on words using her name and what this business entails.

Rochelle has been the seamstress of WITB for 16 months, keeping me on top of everything as I tackle motherhood for the first time. She is truly the perfect person for the job to continue providing incredible customer service, the same amazing products, and an amazing work ethic.

This decision wasn’t an easy one but a necessary one. I became a first time mom in Nov 2021 and took a back seat on the day to day tasks of WITB. I realized fairly quickly that what I loved MOST about this business was creating and SEWING the product. Not being able to do that anymore was tough for me to come to terms with and I lost the passion I once had. I’m so excited that the passion is relit with Rochelle taking over.

As of Jan 1st our Instagram page will change hands.

If you have any questions about current orders or issues please reach out to me at [email protected].

Finally, wow, thank you. This has been a really incredible 8+ years. I will miss you, and all the dogs… and I will look back so fondly at this profound chapter in my life. It really was a pleasure.
