Why You Need a Wearable Hands Free Dog Leash (and Where to Buy One!)

Are you a dog owner wishing there was an easier way of keeping your dog close when needed, but still allowing them the freedom to explore when it’s safe to do so, without the need to carry around multiple different leashes on a walk? 

If this sounds familiar, then have you ever considered using a hands free dog lead?

Let's run you through all the possible uses of our hands free leads, and why you really should add one of these to your kit! 

Walk hands free

The number one benefit of these leads is that you can wear them around you, allowing you to walk hands free: 

But, some dog owners may be asking why would you even want to walk hands free? Isn't it dangerous? Are you not putting yourself at risk of being pulled over, especially with a big dog?

These are all usual concerns that dog owners experience before they try out a hands free dog leash for themselves, but these leashes are actually perfect for dogs in training. Why? Well, they free up your hands! This makes it much easier to deliver treats to your dog and reward the behaviours you're trying to reinforce when in training, especially when you're working on lead manners and heel work. 

What's more, by walking hands free, some dogs also feel more at ease as they're not picking up on any unnecessary tension in the leash from the handler. I've personally experienced this with my own, giant breed rescue who weighs over 60kg. We enjoy walks now with a relaxed, slack lead. 

Whilst you can shop a traditional training lead to be used in the same manner, we've also introduced an adjustable attachment that can slide to your required length, perfect for adjusting the leash to wear around your waist, shoulder, or whatever is most comfortable for you and your dog. 

These leads are a truly great way to work on heel work with your dog in a way which is kind to them, and much easier for you!
 

It becomes a clip lead!

That’s right, when you’re not using our training leads as a wearable hands free dog leash, you can attach one of the clips to one of the attachment points to create a standard clip lead.

With multiple attachment points, you can truly choose the perfect length for your dog. Attach to the first point for a longer lead (just shy of 2 meters in length). If you prefer a shorter lead, you can create one with our second attachment point. Lastly, you can create a much smaller (approx 1 meter in length) leash by attaching the clip to the base of the lead.

These leads can be used in up to three varying lengths as a clip lead, and with an extra sliding attachment point you can create the perfect length lead for your (and your dogs) needs.

Multiple attachment points for multiple uses

Our attachment points don’t just allow you to use the leash as a standard clip lead or hands free dog leash.

These attachment points mean you can also attach the leash to two points on your dog for more control when training. Maybe your trainer has recommended a double clip leash to be attached to both a collar and harness, or you’re trying to avoid walking your dog on a collar. These leashes can be clipped to a front and back of a harness for more control. Plus, you can add a short handle leash to your lead to create an extra handle when needed.

What’s more, you can easily tether your dog to that pub garden table in the summer, or when you’re teaching your dog to be calm and relaxed in busy places for extra security.

You can even clip the leash around you with ease when it’s not in use or your dog is enjoying some off lead freedom.
