Product Information

It is also worth noting that long leads should only be attached to your dog’s harness and not on the collar. Safety Features

For added comfort, the handle has a wide ergonomic opening and is padded with a soft, rubberised material. The padding material also prevents your hand from losing its grip in the event that your dog unexpectedly pulls or jerks. IDC Powerharnesses are far and away the easiest of all models to fit and remove: simply slip the large opening over the dog’s head, clip in the chest strap, attach the lead to the top-mounted D-ring and go. Do bear in mind that a harness of this nature won’t necessarily prevent your dog from pulling; it’s simply a kinder, more convenient, safer and comfier alternative to walking with a dog collar and leash.If your dog always pulls like a train, consider a double-ended training leash like those supplied by HALTI (see below) and Mekuti. Training leads consist of one extra-long strap with a clasp on either end. They are suitable for use only with front-range harnesses equipped with an attachment on the chest as well as on top. Double-leads are more complicated to use but have been proven to provide better balance for an unruly dog and thereby reduce pulling. That said, the chest padding alone most certainly has an affect on how the dog responds when walking – just the tiniest tug of the leash will invariably have it walking to heel. The dog lead you choose should be of durable material so it can withstand pulling or exposure to the elements. Some dogs tend to toy with and chew on their leashes, so it would be great if you find a product durable enough to resist shredding. By using this lead, you are able to free up one of your hands. It also helps to prevent any tangling, which is common when you hold two different leads in the same hand. Features Julius-K9 is a huge player in the world of canine wear. The company started out supplying harnesses for police and emergency rescue dogs and has applied some of its original designs to a wide range of consumer pooch models.

Moreover, it enables instant size adjustments that cater to your surroundings. This allows your dog to roam about and smell its surroundings but also allows you to keep your dog close when crossing the road or when people approach. To help prevent tangling and promote your dog’s mobility, the clasp on this dog lead features a 360-degree rotating clip that instantly adjusts to you and your dog’s motions. The wide loop handle is lightly cushioned and has an anti-slip interior grip, so your hand stays in place. Thus, you are assured of complete control even if your dog pulls or bolts or unexpectedly. This dog lead features two padded handles, one for regular use and another for a more restricted grip near the splitter. A bundle ring to contain excess lead and a zip-up pouch for waste bags and keys are built-in to the design. The splitter sections are also adjustable in length.

If your dog is absolutely insistent on pulling, you’ll know how much of a pain and hassle something as simple as an ordinary dog walk can become. Having a dog lead is an essential part of being a dog owner, especially if you do not live in a rural area. Whether you recently got a new dog or puppy or simply need upgrading your current dog lead, you have come to the right place. When choosing dog leads, there are important features to consider. Below are some of them: Material

The TUG Medium is our top choice for the best retractable dog lead. We love its sturdy, durable housing and the ability to change your lead’s length at a moment’s notice. It makes a great choice for small and medium-sized dogs weighing up to 25 kg in weight. FeaturesWhere the figure-hugging Ruffwear Front Range is quite heavily padded and therefore a little hot to wear when the temperature rises, this skimpier, bikini-like model is thinner and lighter and much better suited for use on hot summer days. The Julius-K9 provides a reassuringly snug fit that doesn’t get in the way of the dog’s movements; the lower chest strap sits just behind the forelegs and doesn’t rub against the elbows. However, it does seem a bit over-engineered. The chest webbing on the Size 1 model we tested is about 5cm in width and strong enough to pull a train. It’s also difficult to adjust. Two separate padded handles, one near the end and one closer to the swivel collar attachment, allow you to command maximum control over your dog from a distance and up close. The ergonomic handles also help prevent strains and rope burns when controlling your dog. Some dog harnesses are also fitted with a soft handle at the top, so you can easily grab the dog if it wants to get involved in a fight or is simply too keen to meet another pooch. Given that dogs will usually exit water at the same place they went in, these handles are also a godsend for helping dogs out of rivers or lakes with steep banks. Do I still need a collar? Halti is suitable for a number of different dog breeds, coming in three different sizes. Additional benefits include a reflective strip on the harness for use when walking your dog at night. For the best experience, it’s recommended that you combine the Halti with the compatible Halti Training Lead, which you can use for even more “steering” control.
