Who We Are

A small crew with big hearts

Who We Are

A small crew with big hearts

We are a small but hard-working team that comes from many backgrounds. A few things truly unite us: hard work, dedication, and a love of animals. Our work environment includes nearly as much play and humor. It is not all games, though! We iron out the details so you do not have to.

About Our Company

Built on quiet, friendly neighborhoods

About Our Company

Built on quiet, friendly neighborhoods

Good Life was founded in 2002. It took time to find our identity, putting stock in many categories, but bark-control was always a favorite.

What makes our bark-control products special? Every item is humane. You will find no shock or pain on this site.

Our star product, the Dog Silencer®, began as nothing more than a box, a couple speakers, and an on/off switch. With time, this device has become the powerhouse it is today sporting: bark-sensitivity adjustment, enhanced bark-detection, waterproof seals, and snazzy faceplates.

Our newest model, the MAX, has 40% stronger speakers than the last. These upgrades were brought along through dedicated research and feedback from our loyal customers. With every purchase, you help us make the world a quieter and friendlier place to dogs. With less barking comes less anger and more smiles.

These are the furry faces who keep us laughing, motivated, and stocked with extra treats.

The Good Life pets

Meet Frankie

Tiny Explorer

Meet Frankie, the tiniest member of the Good Life family. Although she may be the smallest, she has a personality big enough to fill the whole house. She’s endlessly curious, always ready to pounce on a toy, and is currently learning how to play fetch, a skill she’s taking very seriously. When she’s not showing off her kitten athleticism, she’s exploring every corner like she owns the place. Like any classic orange cat, she’s already developing a handful of goofy quirks that make her even more lovable.

After she gets all her zoomies out, she transforms into the cuddliest little nap buddy. She’ll curl up on your chest, shoulder, or anywhere close just to be near you. However she spends her time, either playing or snoozing, she brings happiness to all of us.

Meet Grandpa

Backyard King

Grandpa is the undisputed ruler of the backyard and the reigning champion of stealth snuggling. His days are dedicated to his two main priorities: Protecting the Homestead and High-Level Socializing. He maintains a robust outdoor schedule, often seen leading neighborhood cat committees and tirelessly tracking game (hunting). Grandpa is the first line of defense, maintaining a regal vigil from the front deck and ensuring all is well (or at least, that the squirrels are terrified).

While his heart belongs to the outdoors, he sometimes pays an informal tax to his territory by leaving "presents" in the garage—a service he insists is essential for keeping the human owners humble.

When the weather turns inhospitable, Grandpa transforms into a champion houseguest. He is a master of the silent infiltration, sneaking into the house and hiding in the most ridiculous, gravity-defying, or plain funny spots just to see who finds him first. Once his internal temperature is restored, he demands mandatory snuggles before returning to his demanding duties as the King of the Block.

Meet Joey Pawence

Unofficial Board Member

Joey, our unofficial Good Life board member, rarely misses a meeting. He prefers to attend remotely, of course—because in his world, car rides equals a vet trip or relocation, and absolutely none of that fits his calendar.

He’s an eight-year-old Maine Coon with the confidence of a man who pays zero rent and knows he never will. His morning routine Wait patiently for Dolly to take her polite first pass at breakfast… then swoop in for second breakfast, third breakfast, and whatever else can be justified under “quality control.”

If Good Life ever goes public, Joey will demand stock options, I assure you. He’s got character, charisma, and questionable ethics around shared food bowls — he’s the perfect executive material.

Meet Dolly Farton

Her Royal Chonkness

Dolly is an elegant tuxedo queen trapped in the body of a professional couch ornament. Known lovingly as the Lady of Leisure, she believes her full-time job is: Looking fabulous, Supervising absolutely nothing, and lounging like she owns several estates..

In her mind, she is the Princess of Paws, drifting from nap to nap with the grace of a creature who has never known hardship—unless, of course, her breakfast is 90 seconds late. She lets Joey have “first watch” over the food bowl purely because royalty must allow their subjects to feel useful.

Dolly doesn’t walk; she glides. She doesn’t nap; she “recharges.” And she absolutely will not move unless the destination includes: a sunbeam, a soft blanket, or someone telling her how stunning she is. She is beauty. She is a chonk. She is leisure perfected.

Meet Charlie Brown

Chairman Meow

"Bow down, mortals. I am Chairman Meow of this chair, and my agenda is simple: Naps, snacks, and strategically shedding on the jacket you need for work tomorrow. Do not question the clocks; they simply track my feeding times in different time zones."

I love to nap in the most odd places, bowls, suitcases, bags, and my owner's vanity drawer. I cuddle on my own terms, which means I don't cuddle.

Meet Sky Olive Bottorff

Couch Comfort Inspector

My owners say I’m their little S.O.B,along with my older brother Stryker Onion Bottorff who also is another S.O.B, but hates photos

"I've been working tirelessly all day... on finding the exact perfect curve for maximum cushion coverage. Currently testing the structural integrity of this couch with my entire body weight. Do not disturb. If you need me, I'll be here, dreaming about every delivery driver that comes to my house, and regretting none of my life choices. Also, is it dinner yet"

Meet Axle

Chief of Security and Professional Cuddler

Axle is the Chief of Security and Professional Cuddler. When he is not busy keeping the couch warm, he’s busy warming up for the game. On game day, he puts on his best uniform and his “Let’s Go” expression. Don’t let the good looks fool you, he’s a highly trained ball-chasing, treat demanding athlete.

When it comes to personal space, there is none. He believes the optimal distance between his mom and him is exactly zero inches. Everywhere she goes, he’s just one step behind, ensuring she never faces the kitchen or the bathroom alone.

He also does an excellent Velociraptor impersonation. During his "Raptor time” he hunts squeaky toys and practices his pouncing skills. His rival predator, the Roomba causes him to pace, bark furiously and launch himself into tactical maneuvers-all in the name of keeping the robotic interloper firmly in check.

And finally his motto is “If it can be guarded, I’m guarding it. If it can be smelled, I’m smelling it. If it can be dramatically sighed at, I’m doing it”

Meet Remedy

Powder Zoomies Analyst

Remedy takes her role at Good Life very seriously—especially when it involves sprinting in joyful circles for no apparent reason. As our Powder Zoomies Analyst, she’s always on the move, monitoring energy levels and ensuring maximum happiness across the team.

In her role as Head of Radiant Wellness, Remedy specializes in morale-boosting belly rub sessions and providing emotional support whenever snacks are involved. If you’re eating, she’s there—quietly supervising, just in case you need help.

Known for occasionally testing her limits, Remedy believes rules are more like suggestions, especially when chickens are nearby and look suspiciously like potential playmates. Bold, curious, and endlessly affectionate, she keeps us laughing and reminds us to enjoy the little things (preferably with treats).

Meet George

Director of Sunshine Announcements

George is the loud, proud voice of Good Life—and he makes sure everyone knows it. As Director of Sunshine Announcements, he provides timely updates on absolutely everything: sunrise, snacks, footsteps, leaves moving, and any situation that may or may not require immediate attention.

Living fully in his own world (which he also runs), George operates with unmatched confidence and zero hesitation. He’s extremely vocal, unapologetically bold, and widely regarded as the coolest chicken around—by himself and by the entire team.

Whether he’s delivering breaking news or just reminding us he exists, George brings big energy, nonstop commentary, and a whole lot of personality to Good Life.
