History
The company was created in 2010 by Joanne Wood-Ellison, who also operated The Artful Groomer, a home-based dog grooming salon. Joanne, a career designer, fashion retailer and dog enthusiast was frustrated by the lack of affordable, unique dog collar designs in the marketplace. Not only did she have trouble finding cute, fashionable collars for her dogs, she found that most were made poorly and didn't wear very well. Joanne decided to try her hand at making a few collars and selliong them to her grooming clients.
Starting out with a small industrial machine and some cute fabric ribbons, Joanne created her signature Charming Dog Collar style, a collar that had a sewn-in D-ring for attaching dog charms and I.D. tags. The charming collar solved the problem of tag damage and noise when a tag is attached to the leash D-ring of a collar. By sewing in a collar FOB, one could hang a dog's ID tag or decorative charm instead of the leash D-ring. A dog charm or tag lies neatly, face-out, against a dogs neck without the interference of a dog leash hook. Dog owners like the collar because of the decorative charms that are offered free with the collars purchase, in addition to the functionality of the collar FOB.
In 2010 The Artful Canine introduced a 4-way adjustable step-in harness and martingale collar to its product line in response to customer demand. Today, we proudly offer one of the biggest selection in decorative martingale collars available online, and continue to add new styles regularly.
