Dog Lead: The Right Connection Between You and Your Dog on Every Walk

Dog Lead: The Right Length for Every Route

The lead is the direct connection between you and your dog. Depending on the situation, you need a different length and design. Here you'll find adjustable training leads such as Miami, Colorado or Dallas, short leads, reflective and light-up leads, a jogging lead with a waist belt, a coupler for two dogs, chain and rope leads as well as a tie-out stake and garden tether for outdoors.

Training Lead, Short Lead or Jogging Lead

A 3-way adjustable training lead is a real all-rounder. Clipped short, you guide your dog safely through town. Set long, it has more freedom on a country path, and worn across your body, it leaves both hands free. A short lead is ideal for situations where your dog needs to stay right by your side, for example in crowds. If you like running or cycling, a jogging lead with a waist belt and shock absorber keeps your dog close to you.

Staying Visible and Securing Dogs in the Garden

In the darker months, reflective leads and models with a light function make sure you're both easy to see. If you walk two dogs, a coupler keeps both on a single lead. For time in the garden or at the campsite there's a tie-out stake with a running line and a garden tether set. Never leave your dog unattended there for long, though. Chain and rope leads are particularly hard-wearing if your dog likes to bite the lead.

Frequently asked questions

What lead length makes sense for everyday walks?
For walks in town, lengths of around 1.5 to 2 metres have proven their worth. With an adjustable training lead you can switch flexibly between short and long, depending on where you are.

My dog pulls hard on the lead. Which lead helps?
The lead alone won't stop the pulling. That takes patient training with rewards. A training lead combined with a harness with a chest ring is helpful, and simply stop walking as soon as the lead goes tight.

How do I clean a nylon dog lead?
Most nylon leads can be hand-washed in lukewarm water with a little mild detergent. Then hang them up to dry, not on the radiator, so the material and stitching last a long time.
