Our History

Pro-Mohs was started back in 1982 in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, in the garage of Mike and Kitty Mohs who were active in obedience trials. Starting with just some small requests for handmade leather leads, Pro-Mohs leashes became increasingly popular, adding new products and staff.
Two people to join the team to help Pro-Mohs continue to grow and become a well-known name in the dog world, were Mike and Starr Ward. Mike brought years of dog show, trials, and pet products knowledge and expertise to the team, with Starr adding her talents to creating beautiful kangaroo leather show leads, helping the company reach more people through website development and social media. In early 2025, Mike and Starr bought Pro-Mohs and continue to run it in small-town Minnesota with a big nationwide reach. Not only is there an online presence, Pro-Mohs can be found at many large dog shows around the country, as well as at grooming and trade shows.
While their product line continues to increase, adding more and more great canine products, Pro-Mohs remains known for their custom work, attention to detail, great customer service, and committed to high-quality products you and your dog will love.
