K9 Tactical Gear was formed from our original company: Ruff Life. It all began in a man’s garage with a single sewing machine and a passion for making the best gear. As the Forbes family grew, the dream grew along with it. Bill & Susan’s children soon began picking up bobbins and a passion for perfection. What began in Bill Forbes’ garage in 1986 slowly found its way to their first shop in 2015. To this day, we are a Northern-California based company and proudly family owned and operated.
