In Lyndsie's words......

My name is Lyndsie and my service dog in training is Sulley. Sulley’s Spot was created after James P Sullivan aka Sulley. He is a labradane who will be a medical alert and mobility dog trained to assist me through the day. He is learning to pick up on changes in my heart rate and guide me to a safe place along with many other things. I am unable to leave the house without fear and Sulley has been a great help. He provides me with the security I need to go out in public independently.

Sulley’s Spot designs collars that are 1.5” and 2” wide created for medium to large breed dogs. All collars are handmade using heavy duty webbing and ribbon or fabric of your choice. If you don’t see something you like please let me know and I will do my best to find a pattern you like.
