A new kind of dog store in LA from BlueCollar Working Dog explores a new kind of retail concept for people with active lifestyles and the pets that accompany them on the adventures. The warehouse-sized retail shop is described as an interactive one, like an "REI meets Whole Food for active dogs."
Inside the store, there's an array of natural foods, hiking packs, locally-produced meats, supplements, harnesses and training equipment. Since this retail shop has ample space, the products are arranged around stations for jumping and climbing. When BlueCollar Working Dog hosts any of its weekly obedience classes or dog workshops dedicated to tracking or aggression management, the retail floor itself doubles as the grounds for training. This dog-friendly shop is the perfect place to see professionals, products and pets at work.
