How to choose a comfortable and stylish leash

What kind of leashes are there?

We list the main types of leashes so that you can choose the right accessory for your pet.

• Classic leash.

The most common type that is used for walking and training dogs. It is a long rein with a handle on one ring and a collar mount on the other.

The classic leash has many advantages, but the following can be distinguished from the minuses:

– takes up a lot of space;

– sags, gets dirty on the dirt, and then on the owner’s clothes;

– the dog can get tangled in such a leash.

• Roulette.

The retractable leash allows you to adjust the length of the leash with the push of a button. It is compact and does not take up much space at home, it is easy to throw it into a backpack. The tape measure is constantly in a taut state, so it does not get dirty and does not sag. But this is also its minus: the dog feels tension all the time, and this brings discomfort and interferes with training. It is recommended to switch to a tape measure only after the pet gets used to the classic leash and learns to walk alongside.

• Chain.

Such a leash consists of a handle and a metal chain. You can pay attention to this accessory if your watchdog loves to chew on leashes and quickly deals with them. It is important that the chain leash has strong attachments, especially if it will be worn by a large dog.

• “Guide”.

This is more likely not a leash, but a short handle, usually made of a leather loop with a very strong carabiner. This type of leash is designed for large dogs that need to be kept within a short distance, such as when traveling on public transport or in line at the veterinarian. The walker provides maximum control over the dog, but is not suitable for everyday walks, because. it completely restricts the freedom of the quadruped.

• Sparka (svorka).

Represents 2-3 leashes with carabiners at the ends. All of them are linked by a common ring, which in turn is attached to the main leash. Ideal for those who have several dogs that need to be walked at the same time.

The advantage of the accessory is that you will not get entangled in several leashes, but will only hold one handle. The main thing is to choose the right company for walking: dogs “in harness” should get along well with each other. Otherwise, a small distance between dogs can provoke them to be rude.

• Re-examination

It looks like a classic, but along the leash there are several rings for adjusting the length. The stitching is suitable not only for daily walking, but also for training and for exhibitions. The convenience of such a leash is also that you can tie it around yourself, thereby freeing your hands, and arrange a run with the dog.

• Ringovka.

2 in 1 collar and leash. A person is held on one loop, and the other is put on the pet’s neck. Many owners use the show ring for training and exhibitions, because. it allows you to control the position of the dog. It’s all about the device of the leash: if you or the dog pull on the leash, the collar will begin to tighten and the four-legged will stand in the position in which he stood before to loosen the collar. It is not recommended to purchase a ringovka for inexperienced owners and for walking. If used incorrectly, the pet may suffocate.

• Special.

These leashes are designed for different types of activities. For example, for cycling or running. Such accessories are equipped with pockets for water and treats, and the owner can even put his personal belongings in one of the compartments. A rubber part is inserted into the leash itself, which absorbs shock during the start and stop of movements.

How to choose a leash for a dog?

Let’s say you have decided on the type of leash depending on the purpose, size of the dog, its breed. Now let’s discuss how to choose the perfect leash that will last you as long as possible and that will not allow your dog to break free and run away.

• Do not buy the cheapest leash of dubious quality. Remember, your pet’s safety and comfort depend on the leash.

• The leash should be comfortable for both you and the dog. Uncomfortable accessories will discourage both of you from walking.

• Do not use the same leash for different purposes. For a walk, there should be one leash, for grooming – another, for jogging in the park – a third. In addition, you should always have a spare leash with you in case the first one suddenly fails or gets damaged.

• Consider the nature of the dog. If she walks calmly and does not pay attention to the leash, then a standard accessory will suit her. And if the pet strives to chew on the leash or get out of the collar, stop at a more durable ammunition.

• Not only the material of the leash itself must be strong. If the carabiner turns out to be weak, the dog can easily escape. Therefore, check the strength of this part in advance.

• Regularly inspect the leash for damage and wear. It is better to buy a new accessory than to delay this business and face negative consequences.

• Choose a collar that won’t squeeze your pet’s neck, but won’t dangle freely either. Your two fingers should fit snugly between the dog’s neck and the collar.

Stylish leash – what is it?

When choosing a leash, the main requirement is reliability. But what if the leash is also stylish? What if it is not just bright, but supports the current fashion wave? For example, will it be matched to your new exquisite bag?
