They can't be dropped
Using a hands free dog lead means that you don’t have to worry about the chances of accidentally letting go of your dogs lead as they'll be secured around your body at all times.
They are training friendly
A hands free dog lead is perfect for training your dog or puppy as it means they won’t be distracted by a lead dangling from your hand whilst you are teaching them something new or practising an old trick.
They make running together easy
Running with your dog can be challenging if you are not properly equipped. A hands free dog lead means that you can adjust the lead to fit around your waist which will enable you to both run side by side without the lead disrupting your run with the movement of your arms.
They are crowd friendly
As hands free dog leads allow you to keep your dog close to you at all times when on the shortest adjustment length, this decreases the chances of them weaving in and out of people in crowds and tangling themselves in a knot of people and or other dogs.
They save your hands from being exposed to the elements
Our hands are affected by the weather whether it's the rain, wind or snow making them cold and stiff or the sun causing skin damage, using a hands free dog lead means that you can easily keep your hands out of the elements and safe from conditions.
They free up your hands
We've all been there when you're holding your dogs lead in one hand with something in the other and then something else happens like you need to open a door or press the button at a zebra crossing so you're now juggling several things at once and the safety of your dog is compromised.
They can stop your dog street eating
If you have a dog that eats anything and everything they see then a hands free dog lead could be the answer to your problem. As your dog will be by your side at all times when on the shortest adjustment length, you will have ample time to stop them in their tracks as soon as they see a potential snack nearby.
