In terms of teaching Moxie to heel, the hands free leash is especially helpful because there is no give when I stop. With a regular leash your body may stop but your hands typically continue moving forward, giving the dog more play on the end of the line than you intend. Using a leash connected to my hips means when my body stops, the dog stops which gives a much clearer signal to the dog. The concept of a hands free leash is that it encircles your torso so you have both hands free for other things, in this case treats to lure Moxie into position. This particular leash is made of semi-rigid rope that holds it's shape somewhat, which I really like, as it prevents it from drooping too much and getting tangled in legs, either mine or the dog's. It also has a hand loop near the collar end, which would come in handy if you wanted your dog closer for a few strides. Notice the slack leash. We are starting out our walks on a slack leash vs. pulling from the get-go and she's doing much better at releasing to the pressure of the lead rather than digging her heels in when something is interesting.

The slip lead is our most popular leash for training, breeders, shows, rescue and general use. It’s the easiest way to regain control over a dog whether they are wearing a collar or not. However, if your dog is a chronic puller, you will need to incorporate treats or rewards to train them in a controlled environment before using a slip lead for walks. The slip lead should not be used on dogs that chronically pull as the constant pressure can damage their neck, throat and spine. However, once you have trained your dog to heal, the slip lead is ideal for walks. The Dog Walker is our large dog version of the petite martingale, and this is an excellent option for teaching your dog to heal in a controlled environment. The EZ Trainer was designed in cooperation with a leading dog trainer of obedience and field, and it is much easier to use than other head halters and harnesses and doesn't apply extra pressure in areas that stress your dog. The EZ Leader is designed for to teach dogs to: heel sit stop jumping learn the "whoa" command. This is one of our best training leashes and will give you control of your dogs in just a few sessions. If your dog has not been trained to heal, the snap lead is ideal for you.

I’m a big fan of a double ended leash. Not only can it move your dog from a harness to a collar, but it can help you train your dog and gain a significant amount more control over a large, or strong dog. For this, you also want a 6 foot leash (or shorter) as opposed to a long line. The ruffwear front range is my go to for dogs of all sizes, it's so handy. This two ended leash is one of the most adaptable tools in your toolbox. Another two ended leash, but it's biothane so way easier to clean and way easier to grip too. The perfect fit has stainless steel attachment points, and is a very sturdy option that can grow with your dog. Ideally, I’m talking about a harness with two attachment points, one on the back, just behind the shoulders, and one on the chest.
