We are a small business with a big heart on a mission. We started by sharing Kudo’s journey, and it has become my motivation to keep going — when days are tough, I focus on this; everything I make for Kudo the Dog makes me happy and helps me feel connected to Kudo’s legacy! It means even more when it finds a new home and brings happiness to you. I work full-time at the Bretton Woods Ski Area. While I love the outdoor recreation industry, nothing compares to seeing happy dogs wagging their tails. When you buy your holiday gifts from a small business, you’re not only giving someone something truly special, but you’re also supporting a dream.

🐾 1. Personalized Ornaments That Tug at the Heartstrings
Give a gift as special as their furry best friend. Our custom dog ornaments feature their pet’s name laser-etched into each piece — a perfect keepsake for the tree or display all year round.
🦴 2. Dog Collars and Leashes Built for Style and Adventure
Every pup deserves to look as special as they are. Our handmade dog collars come in playful patterns, vibrant ribbons, and durable materials designed to handle snowy walks and muddy trails. Match it with a coordinating leash for the full “holiday photo-ready” look.
Whether their dog is a dainty diva or a rugged trail buddy, Kudo the Dog has a collar that fits their personality — because fashion should be as fun as fetch!
🎨 3. DIY Craft Kits for the Creative Dog Lover
Do you have a friend who loves crafting almost as much as cuddling their pup? Our DIY ornament kits are a fun, feel-good way to spend a snowy afternoon. When I was a kid, my mom always had something for us to do. This inspired me to create DIY ornament kits. These kits include five laser-cut ornaments, a small paint set, two paint brushes, and a keepsake bag- perfect for anyone looking for a fun project to brighten the holiday season.
Everything they need to paint, personalize, and display their masterpiece is included — no artistic experience required. Just add holiday tunes and enjoy!
🧥 4. Cozy Hoodies & T-Shirts for Proud Dog People
From cozy dog mom hoodies to playful Kudo the Dog shirts, these pieces are perfect for staying warm during winter walks or relaxing with a pup on the couch. Each design is created with love and humor — the kind only a true dog person can appreciate.
🐕 5. Earrings & Keychains
Our laser-cut dog themed earrings and keychains add a touch of canine charm to any outfit or keyring. They’re lightweight, adorable, and made by hand — because the best accessories are the ones that make people smile.
