Why did I wait so long to purchase one?This leash is very beneficial for me with irregular balance and discomfort of my arms and hands after walking my dog with a regular leash. The dogs wait and my walking stride has greatly improved. I cannot recommend this leash enough. It has two areas of placement for the clip. It’s very sturdy, made well with metal clips for each rung length. I’m very impressed with this, especially for the price. It’s very easy to walk a dog who pulls a lot. This made all the difference. I am finally successful with walking my dog.

This is my favorite leash to walk my huskies with! You wont find me using any other leash once I discovered this product! It has a bungee in the leash so that it can stretch and two handles on the leash that you can use to hold onto if needed, but can also be used completely hands free! I like to use my body weight to control my two dogs when we walk instead of using my arms to try and stop them. If I need to, I can grab onto the leash anytime, but since the leash(es) can be attached to the waist belt, you don’t need to use your hands. I find that it’s so much easier to take the dogs for a walk this way, especially with more than 1 dog. I used this product before I had two dogs, though, and still it was just as useful. It’s great for runs, hiking, etc. and if you have dogs that pull, like my huskies, it’s a fantastic choice instead of hurting your arms trying to hold them back. It comes with a small little fanny pack attached to the waist belt as well, that can be used or taken off- your preference. I like to use this to carry poop bags on our outings or it’s big enough for a phone to fit into. The waist belt has two different rings that you can attach the leash to, one that can move freely all the way around the belt, and one that stays in place. The belt is adjustable, so it’s great for any season- we are in winter now, so I just adjust the belt to a bit bigger so it can fit over my puffy coats! I have two of these at home and have also given them as gifts to other dog owners. I’ve had these for a few years now, and the durability is just as good as it was the day it was delivered, which is great.
Great hands-free leash! Strong, comfortable, and perfect for walks or runs. I’d definitely buy it again.
It is what you see. I nice tough leash that is of quality material. The pouch it’s self isn’t that impressive. It says you can store your phone, treats, dog bags, etc. While all this is true, nothing is separated so essentially your phone and treats and bags are all jumbled together. If that doesn’t bother you than your fine. The pouch material is not as nice of a quality all the leash and belt. I purchased the medium and of a fuller size and there was plenty of belt. I have a small Boston terrier puppy and she would have been better off with a small but will grow. The resistance on the stretchy part is great. They will have a hard time pulling. I think even max a 60lb dog would be fine on the medium. (Depending if they are a super puller or not). Over all, the product works. I like the quality of the leash and could loop on another bag if I wanted.
I wanted to give this a couple weeks of use before writing a review and all in all I think this is a pretty great leash.I've been testing it out with our medium sized dog for a few weeks running, walking, and hiking, doing one of those every day. There are really only two draw backs for me and those are 1. I wish there wasn't the second set of elastic in between the two handles and 2. It is a bit too long for running for someone my height if you trained your dog to run next to you. I'll cover these two points in more detail below.The first issue is fairly minor, it just makes it more challenging to get a secure hold on your dog if you grab the top handle closest to you (how I have my leash positioned) because the dog can still lunge forward and pull away with the extra elastic give. I have an avid bunny chaser and we're working on it, but sometimes she just can't help herself on walks or runs and I go to grab the top handle closest to me and she can still lunge forward until I can get the lower handle closer to her where I have just the strap with no elastic, which is fairly low down so it's harder to grab in the heat of the moment. If you turn the leash around such that the handles are closer to you, then the elastic is in between the handle and the clip on the dog and you don't really have any firm control that way with the handles. It's hard to describe, but it's just a minor annoyance.The bigger annoyance is point 2. The leash is just a bit too long such that when my dog is running beside me, the leash gets in between my legs and tangles up and it is awkward to try and keep it off to the side. My husband who is much taller (5'7" vs 6'4") runs with the leash fully extended and doesn't have a problem. My solution has been to just take a carabiner and clip the two handles together and that seems to get enough slack out of the leash to not have it constantly tangling in between my legs. This only happens when I run. Walking or hiking the fully extended leash isn't a problem since we let our dog do more exploratory/sniffing walks/hikes, whereas we've trained her to run next to us.The pros though are great and it has everything I wanted out of a hands-free leash. The front clip feels super secure, there is the buckle which has a locking mechanism, then rings on either side that you clip the leash onto such that you can feel very certain that even if the buckle failed, you have a back up. The little pouch is a good size, fits a standard size smart phone, poop bags, a key, and treats. The materials feels nice and high quality, with reflective strips all up the length of the leash. The clips feel sturdy and high-quality. All in all it's a super functional leash and has almost everything I wanted, just the two things I mentioned above, which may be more minor for other folks.
