Ready, Aim..... Walk. The Gun Leash.

Povodokus, the retractable gun dog lead -or leash as people often call them, is a design concept from the clever and conceptual folks at Russian design studio, Art Lebedev.



The lead goes out freely as the dog pulls and reels in when you pull the trigger.

Product Pick Of The Week: The Dog Cage by Peter Pracilio

The Dog Cage for Design GO studio

I have a new puppy and although she's the cutest thing on earth, she's a handful! So, I've been crate training her and it's working. The only think I can't stand is the look of the hideous crate in my living room.

Well, apparently designer Peter F. Pracilio felt the same way when he designed this beautiful Dog Cage for Design GO studio. (update: the crate has since been renamed the eiCrate)




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know where I can purchase it or if it's even in production, but I simply had to share the images with you.

UPDATE: Obviously I was only one of many dog owners looking for a cool crate. The dog cage which was renamed the eiCrate has gone into production and is available in either a silver, white or black finish:





They also sell a fitted cover for it:



and you can purchase the 'starter package' that comes with a pad for the interior as well:



The price , while still expensive, is far more reasonable now. Buy the eiCrate here.
