What to consider when choosing a leash? 

Any and all dogs enjoy getting outdoors to explore and smell interesting places. Different dogs and different situations require different qualities and features from a leash. 

The first thing to consider are the dog's characteristics and the purpose of the leash. When choosing a lead, it is worth considering:

  • The dog size. Is your dog small or big?
  • The dog characteristics. Is your dog prone to pulling the leash unexpectedly?
  • The purpose of the leash. Are you looking for a leash for city walks or forest trips?

A light leash for a small dog, a sturdier one for a big dog

For a small dog, a lighter leash with a lighter lock is sufficient. A leash that is too big makes it difficult for the dog to move and makes walking uncomfortable. A leash that is too heavy for the size of the dog can cause pain by putting constant pressure on the dog's neck.  

When walking a large dog, the leash lock and leash itself should be strong enough.

The influence of the dog's characteristics on the choice of the leash

In addition to the size of the dog, it is worth considering other dog characteristics that influence the choice of leash, such as the activity and obedience.

An unsuitable leash can, in the worst case, provoke the dog's behavioural problems. Pulling and restraining are challenges that the dog's leash also plays a role in solving. Keeping the leash loose, rather than pulling hard, keeps things more relaxed. It is also worth paying attention to the tensile strength of the leash: it must be able to withstand the dog's pulling and tugging.

If you need extra security when walking your dog, choose a leash with an extra handle to control the dog in trickier situations.

The purpose and use of the leash

After considering the characteristics of the dog, it is important to contemplate the purpose of the leash. In an urban area, a leash will keep your dog safe and close to you. The law requires you to always keep your dog on a lead when you are in an urban area. Also, when walking in national parks, the dog must be leashed, and
to walk freely in the forest you need the landowner's permission. A suitable leash is a valuable safety tool for dog owners.

Do you move around often in an urban area where the leash should be short and stay firmly in your hand? Do you often go jogging in the woods where a longer leash may be appropriate? When going out in the woods, you can also choose a long leash for your dog, so that they can explore their surroundings more freely. A long lead is also an excellent choice when dogs are fastened and are legally required to be restrained.

Soft, lightweight, and durable, the multifunctional dog leashes are designed for a wide range of outdoor and leisure activities. The multifunctional leashes can be adjusted to suit your own use thanks to the metal loops.

The leashes strong reflectors are an extra feature that will improve yours and your dog's visibility and safety in the dark.
