One of my favorite parts of hosting events like my Doggie Social Hour is connecting with incredible local pet lovers — and recently I had the pleasure of meeting Angie, the owner of Wiggle Butt Creations right here in Southwest Florida.
If you love high-quality, stylish, and durable dog gear, you’re going to want to know about her.
And yes — I’m officially a customer now. 😊
From Dog Trainer to Handmade Gear Creator
Wiggle Butt Creations is a proudly woman-owned, Florida-based business founded by Angelique “Angie” Thayer. Originally, Angie started as a balanced dog trainer under Wiggle Butts and Training LLC. Through her years of hands-on experience, she noticed something: Her clients struggled to find training gear that was durable, functional, stylish, and comfortable all at the same time.
So in 2023, she decided to create her own. What began as handcrafted leashes, long lines, collars, and harnesses for her training clients quickly turned into something bigger. After testing her products extensively (and receiving incredible feedback), Angie officially launched Wiggle Butt Creations as a dedicated handmade dog gear company… and Southwest Florida pups are better for it!
Why I Personally Love Her Collars
I purchased a collar for one of my dogs and had a custom collar made for another — and they are absolutely beautiful.
The quality is immediately noticeable:
- Strong hardware
- Clean stitching
- Perfect sizing
- Gorgeous color options
- Thoughtful craftsmanship
You can tell these pieces are made by someone who truly understands dogs — not just fashion, but function.
What Is BioThane — And Why It’s Perfect for Florida Dogs?
Many of Angie’s pieces are made from BioThane, which is a strong woven nylon webbing coated with a soft, antimicrobial, waterproof PVC layer.
That means it’s:
✔ Waterproof
✔ Odor-proof
✔ Easy to clean
✔ Durable
✔ Comfortable
✔ Available in tons of colors
For us here in Southwest Florida — where beach days, boat days, rainy afternoons, and muddy paws are part of life — BioThane gear just makes sense.
No soggy collars. No lingering smells. No constant replacements.
Custom Options for Every Pup
One of the things that makes Wiggle Butt Creations special is the ability to customize.
You can choose:
- Colors
- Sizes
- Hardware finishes
- Styles
- Matching walking sets
Everything is handmade to order based on your specifications. That means your dog’s gear isn’t just functional — it reflects your style too.
Orders typically ship within 3–10 business days depending on volume.
More Than Just Gear — A Passion for Education
As a balanced dog trainer with over five years of experience, Angie understands the real-life pros and cons of everyday and training gear.
She’s passionate about:
- Helping dog owners make informed training choices
- Supporting strong human-dog relationships
- Providing durable tools that actually work
That experience truly sets her apart from mass-produced pet brands.
