HAVE YOU SEEN OUR SNUFFLE BAG?
We love our snuffle bag, and it's part of the reason Jinks started too! We designed and developed it ourselves, and we're both very proud of it!
​
You can take our water-resistant snuffle bag anywhere for your dog to snuffle and calmly munch snacks! Great for dog classes, light stress environments, or just for dinner whilst you're out!

ABOUT US
Jinks is a small company, made up by Amy & Caitlin. We met in 2018 when we both got puppies around the same time, and met through dog training classes. Both dogs & humans immediately bonded! Amy's background is in costume and prop design, and Caitlin was doing a research PhD in Molecular Biology. We joked about starting a company selling dog 'stuff' weeks into our friendship, but left it there until circumstances changed. Turned out that we were both handy at making things for our dogs to help with training and promoting good behaviour.
​
For example; Caitlin's border collie hit puberty and became quite anxious/stressed. This brought about an early prototype of the 'Snuffle Box'. A portable way to help encourage calm behaviours with the use of 'snuffling'. Link's a lovely dog, but between his working stock breed and his hormones running wild he's not an 'easy dog'. The early Snuffle Box prototype ended up helping both Caitlin and Link chill out a bit at foundation agility classes, both enjoying the activities more and enriching life for Link.
​
Jasper is a pretty strong dog (his Husky genes!) and during early training, certain leads weren't practical and things didn't quite work right. Jasper also had little interest in treat and food based rewards, and Amy found a lot of products available for use in play training weren't cruelty free. So... she made exactly what she wanted, and it went down a storm with Jasper! Plus, the added benefit of no guilt with faux-fur in her pocket!
​
We seriously thought about who we want to be as a company and what we want to offer. We wanted to offer products primarily based around positive training and relationship building. Once we settled on firm ideas, goals, and a ethos we were proud of... Jinks began!
