Episode 12. Erin Crowley & Pittie Clothing Co.
I found out about Pittie Clothing Co. as I was researching for Episode 11 with Sarah Lauch & Live Like Roo Foundation. I love their bright, fun patterns. As a pit bull owner, I know how difficult it can be to find cute clothes that properly fit your dog.
Erin Crowley founded Pittie Clothing Co. so she could finally have matching pajamas with her dog. But after having experienced negative public reactions to her own lovable pit bull dog, Erin’s greater mission is to help pit bull dogs look more approachable and defeat stereotypes.
Erin & I discuss:
- Her childhood experiences with pets;
- How Erin & her boyfriend decided to adopt a pit bull dog and name him Duncan;
- Erin’s experiences with Duncan’s crate escapism and separation anxiety;
- How Erin & her boyfriend handled Duncan’s unexpected health issue;
- Erin’s connection to Sarah Lauch & Live Like Roo Foundation;
- Pittie Clothing Co.’s origin story and the struggle of pit bull owners to find cute clothes for their dogs;
- Erin’s process for determining the sizing and samples for Pittie Clothing Co.;
- The multitude of ways that Erin & Pittie Clothing Co. give back to shelters, rescues and the community;
- Erin’s hope that pit bulls in pajamas will have make them look more approachable and non-threatening;
- Erin’s own experiences receiving negative reactions to her dogs;
- How breed discriminatory housing policies lead to more dogs in animal shelters;
- The fun of themed dog walks;
- How Dougie joined Erin’s family; and
- Pittie Clothing Co.’s products, designs and partnerships.

Sad about parents teaching kids pit bulls are bad. We’ve had a lot of experiences with people reacting negatively to Abbey. I got a house so we don’t have to worry about restrictions. Erin is super cool🐾following on IG and FB. nice to hear your thoughts too

Interesting about Duncan in the crate too. My approach is to crate train and practice it every day, but they are free unless it’s necessary to keep them crated when and until they are ok alone.
