LOVE LOVE LOVE
Iâm so glad I got this. We have 3 dogs that we pretty much take everywhere with us, and it was becoming really hard to control 2 with me being so short. Easy solution. This thing is strong, and works very well for my boxer/pit mix. Even when he pulls, itâs not going anywhere. I love the fact that it came with another piece to included your own leash to if the one it came with wasnât long enough. However, my big boy doesnât like the heat, so the short long walks are fine with the one it came with. Very adjustable. I got the XL, because I wasnât sure my exact waist size, and it was falling off me. I had to adjust it, but thatâs what I wanted. Doesnât tangle, and does very well at being hands free. Iâm able to walk my other dog beside me now, and use this one hands free. It honestly is a saving grace for night time walks.

Fantastic for working dog
The hands free option is fantastic, as I can walk without constriction. The ability to adjust length of leash is so convenient, quick and easy. Helpful for when I need my service dog reliably close by in tight quarters (on the shuttle train at airport) or extended all the way out for leisure walks. Ability to adjust waist/belt is fantastic too, for when I need it cinched tight for dress clothes OR much looser to fit on the outside of my long winter coat. Construction is top of the line. The lobster claw attachment especially brings peace of mind (not available on the smaller one – so be sure to double check). I’ve had the other kind (slide down to open) pop off the dog when he “shakes it out” and snap back to hit me in the face. This product has been a life saver & I just ordered another one to loop my other pup on existing belt. I’ve been spoiled to adjustability and won’t go back to “normal” leashes that take up one hand and are not nearly as convenient. Price is right too – AND MADE IN THE USA.

Works great!
For reference, my dog is on the larger side and walks well on leash with minimal pulling (except maybe for a little pull when thereâs a squirrel). In that context, durability of the buckles/hooks/straps seem good.Only issue with length is if my dog is walking directly in front of me, then I keep tripping on her back legs. Easy enough to grab the strap and correct when needed/shorten quickly when coming upon other people on trail. If your dog moves to the other side of you, it adjusts itself depending on what youâre wearing.While I appreciate that the edges are treated to prevent fraying, they are kind of sharp so not great for warm weather directly on my skin.

Dog Trainer/Puppy Class Instructor – LOVE this system!
This is a fantastic system to use when training crazy young puppies and dogs! It keeps your dog safely attached to you, leaving both of your hands free to Click your clicker, give hand signals, and treat your dog! This product feels very sturdy and well made. The leash material is very thick and feels like it will stand up well to prolonged use. All of the buckles and the leash clasp feel sturdy as well. The leash clasp can unbuckle from the leash itself (as you can see in the stock photo) so you can let your dog roam or swim, and then hook them back up after. The leash section itself can also unbuckle, allowing you to use it just like a normal leash and is adjustable from 22″ – 40″.As a group dog class instructor, this has become an invaluable tool for me. I can hook my demo dog to me, and gesture with my hands while giving demonstrations, without one of my hands being tied up holding a leash.I also recommend this product to clients that are having trouble with leash pulling, as it helps prevent you from allowing your dog to pull your arm in different directions. You’re strongest at your trunk (around hips, waist) so it gives you better control of a pulling dog and they are less likely to pull you over, though I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with lower back issues.I also love this for hiking trips when my dog can’t be off leash because I can adjust how much leash to give him and it’s almost like he is off leash, but I still have 2 hands free to take photos. I haven’t bought any of the accessory leashes, but I’m seriously considering the bungee leash for hikes as well.I would definitely buy this product again and recommend it to all of my dog training clients.

Puppy Training Must Have
I recently got a new puppy and although he’s learning quickly, at times it’s exhausting to try to follow him all around the house to make sure he’s not getting into trouble. My favorite way to use it is when you are doing something and you don’t have your full attention on them, instead of putting them in a crate, you can keep them with you. I brought my puppy to a family gathering and used it to keep him with me and it made bringing him to visit so much easier. He’s with me at all times and my hands are free and he can meet people, but isn’t free to run and jump up on people. He quickly learned to settle and sit near me but was happy to be out and about and gives them the chance to socialize.As for construction, it’s well thought out. I had trouble deciding the size because it says Medium on the sizes to choose, but Regular in the description- from what I gathered those are the same. And it has a very wide range it can adjust to for waist sizes, so no need for multiple ones for different people. Even the leash part is adjustable, so for a smaller puppy you can leave it longer and as they get bigger you can make it shorter to adjust. Also, the loop can spin around the whole waist belt, which is handy to prevent being tangled. Everything buckles so you can quickly attach/detach everything.It seems very sturdy so far- the webbing of the leash is thick and also seems sturdy and the buckles seem sturdy as well. My puppy is still very small (approx 11 lbs), so we’ll see how it holds up as he grows. Although, so far I’ve only used it around the house. We use a regular leash when we go anywhere.Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a young puppy who wants to make housebreaking and training a whole lot easier!

We have a 90lbs golden retriever. This leash is perfect. Using this leash and Dr. Yin’s methods, we have gone from incessant pulling to fun walks with the leash fully extended and him walking beside/behind us.

I love this leash.
b.g. –
I originally bought a different brand, but the leash was way too heavy for my dog to lug around.I bought the retractable leash and belt version of this. It’s more than double the cost of the other ones out there but not having to deal with the leash tangling up in my or my dog’s legs and also having it light enough for him is worth the cost.Belt and leash are light enough to not bog down my dog or bulk up my waist. The loop the leash hooks onto the belt glides around smoothly so I rarely have to twist my belt to the side my dog decided to go on, like I did for other brands.I was concerned the retractable part wouldn’t be very sturdy or it would hurt my dog if he pulled too hard. It hasn’t broken yet and he has jerked the leash a few times when he sees squirrels.One thing that is slightly annoying is the loop+D ring (for storing the leash) kept falling off when I’d hang the belt and leash up after a walk. I remedied this by attaching the poopbag holder to it so it’s now too big to slip off. It’s easy to adjust the belt size if you need to for different size coats etc.A negative is the retractable plastic part of the leash sometimes conks my dog in the head when he gets excited and is boinging all over the place. That’s not really the leashes fault though.I recommend it if you have a small dog, or a dog that will not pull super hard.

Had a buddy leash years ago. Now that I’m back on it, I now remember how useful this is. At first I thought this was a short leash, so I ordered the extender after a few days. But you know what? The original product is just fine – your dog will get used to it.However, yesterday I saw the same product offered for almost 30% less, so that’s not cool. Good thing I love the product…

I have a service dog and going back to work was really difficult trying to hold my dog’s leash and do things around the office. With the hands free leash I don’t feel like I’m missing a hand and can help out more! It has been amazing.
