Our client, Inventor of the Better Tether<\/h2>

\"Ed,Ed Yoder loves his dog; but, like many dog owners, he has to tether his four-legged friend outdoors sometimes. He got tired of his pet’s chain knocking over the food and water bowls, while his pet played. Sure, Fido could eat the food that spilled; but, the water soaked into the soil or evaporated, leaving his dog thirsty.<\/p>

Ed thought there was a better way to tether a dog outdoors… and, he was right.<\/p>

The Michigan retiree had an idea for using a stake that sits below ground level, so people and pets don’t trip over it and you never have to move it to mow the lawn.<\/p>

No, this wasn’t Ed’s first inventive idea. Several years earlier, he came up with an idea for a screw gun attachment. Because he listened to someone who told him it would never be a success, Ed’s first idea was brought to market by someone else.<\/p>

Determined not to listen to negative people this time, Ed came to Davison to develop his idea for an outdoor tethering device.<\/p>

“People told me, ‘Edward, you’re dreaming.’ Well, let me dream! This is what I want to do and I think [Davison] can put it out there for me,” Ed said.<\/p>

The 80-year-old retiree was extremely passionate about pursuing his idea. To fund his project, he bought old RVs, then remodeled and sold them.<\/p>

But, it didn’t happen overnight. Even when it was turned down by two companies, Ed never lost faith in his idea or in Davison. After several modifications were made as a result of buyer feedback, Hugs Pet Products licensed Ed’s idea.<\/p>

Now, pets and pet lovers everywhere have Ed to thank for the Better Tether, the more humane and convenient way to tether a pet outdoors!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
