From dog trainer to wood worker... A new leash on life!

The WOODENNAIL began in 2012, when my husband asked me to create a custom dog bed.

My husband, a certified Dog Trainer, owns a small dog training academy established in 2001. One of the most LOVED commands he teaches his clients and their dogs is the "PLACE" command. That's where a dog or pup goes to their dog bed and stays. The only thing they can't do is make noise or get off of the "place". He asked me to build a raised platform, with sides that would make it easier for the pup to differentiate where he needed to stay. He originally used a normal dog pillow, but eventually dogs being dogs, they'd end up rolling around, playing until eventually they only had one toe on the bed. During go home lessons, our clients would see the bed I constructed and where to get one. Within a month, I had over a dozen orders AND though at the time, I didn't realize we were starting a new venture with my one of my favorite mediums... WOOD!

Over the years, we've expanded our product line to include top ranked barn doors, barn shutters, exterior shutters and more. In conjunction with affordable quality items, we pride ourselves on great customer service! We welcome custom orders and would love the opportunity to work with you!
