New collaboration with Felix Smith
At DogCoach, we have for a long time been looking for the right person to help us further develop DogCoach men's styles. That is why we are very proud and happy to now be able to welcome TV-host and dog lover Felix Smith to the DogCoach team.
Felix will be a part of the team going forward and has for the past 8 months worked with our design team to develop a very special men's jumpsuit with a matching windbreaker shirt.
Both are designed by Felix down to the smallest detail, and of course have all the built-in features that you already know from the DogCoach products.
The collaboration started with a phone call to Felix back in March, where we asked if he would be interested in collaborating with us on the development of DogCoach men's styles.
"I found out quite quickly that this is what I needed - that there were opportunities and values that spoke to my heart and that I could 100 percent see myself in. I did not just want to step in as a brand ambassador. I wanted more. And I also had a demand for Linn. I wanted to develop and design a jumpsuit for men,” Felix said and continues:
“I have almost 15 years of experience in standing in all kinds of weather and freezing in a field with a Labrador who just doesn’t want to go home. Therefore, for many years I have been looking for an optimal jumpsuit for men, but no matter where I have sniffed around, I have not been able to find one.”
After that, things went fast. Felix has now become an active part of the DogCoach design, starting with a unique design of the jumpsuit he has always dreamed of existed himself.
The jumpsuit is of course named after Robert, who is Felix's 2-year-old cocker spaniel. Whereas the fine teddy shirt is named after Marley, his former Labrador. The latter we were so excited about, so we had to make it in a ladies version too - even in 2 colors.
All products come together at the end of November in a very limited edition.
Men's collection dedicated to Felix' dogs
The Felix Collection is named after his own dogs.
The model "Marley" is a dog walker shirt in a windbreaker model for men, which honors Felix’ Labrador, who died in February 2020. The shirt is made with a wind and water-repellent surface with DWR finish and an antistatic surface treatment and has a high collar which makes it super comfortable.
The suit "Robert" is a functional suit for men, and of course named after Felix’ 2-year-old cocker spaniel, Robert Redford.
All products are designed with care and are OEKO-TEX certified.

It has hardly gone unnoticed by many that Felix Smith loves dogs and that he himself has been a dedicated dog owner for many years. When he went from permanent employment to freelancer a year ago, he suddenly had more time. Time to, among other things, prioritize freedom and outdoor life together with his best friend and regular partner, the 2-year-old cocker spaniel, Robert Redford. And the opportunity to choose his work projects with his heart. In March 2021, an unexpected call from DogCoach Founder Linn Radsted was the starting shot for a Felix Smith dream to finally come true. At the same time, he can now add a whole new and exciting business adventure to his resume and at the same time, he has fired up some skills he had no idea he had.
Felix Smith can now call himself co-owner of the Danish company DogCoach. The company has since 2016 with Linn Radsted as head of the company, designed functional dog walker clothing, which has dressed thousands of dog owners in both Denmark and abroad. But that’s not just it - today Felix Smith can also write (self-taught) clothing designer on the business card. DogCoach's upcoming winter collection, which launches in November and is the 11th in a row, contains two styles, designed by Felix Smith. Two styles named after his dogs Marley and Robert.
A helping paw for dogs in need – Dognation
The collaboration between Lind Radsted and Felix Smith does not only benefit the two-legged. They have chosen to create a DogCoach Donations Program, which aims to come to the rescue of vulnerable dogs.
The program will help make life easier for dogs around the world. For every Felix design sold in the upcoming collection, 1 EUR is donated, which should give a financial helping hand to a given case.
"I have previously seen dogs that are not treated properly and helped save them. Therefore, it was a must for me, also to be able to give something back to the dogs via DogCoach. Our four-legged friends always give us humans so much without asking for anything in return,” says Felix.
