Types Of Lead For Your Dog

There are many different types of lead* for your dog that you can use for walking. It’s important that your dog is kept securely on a lead when out walking especially where there is a lot of traffic and pedestrians.

Dogs must be kept on a lead in designated pedestrian zones and on land where livestock is present. This is for the safety of your dog and the public. Save off-lead time when walking in the countryside or fenced fields where the dog can’t run off and get injured or worse hurt somebody else.

Basic Dog Lead

The basic dog leads* which most of us own clips onto the collar. The standard dog lead is available in a variety of lengths, colours, thicknesses and strengths, made especially to suit your dog’s size.

Bungee Dog Lead

The Bungee Dog Lead* has a shock-absorbing bungee section that stretches when the handle is pulled. This allows the dog to feel a gentle tug signalling it to stop or wait, rather than a sudden jolt that a plain dog leash gives.

Recall Training Lead

A training dog lead* is long in length which is perfect to use as a recall training lead, teaching your dog to come to you without running off. It is also good if you just want to walk your dog in a field and allow extra freedom without the risk of him running off.

Slip Lead

A slip lead* opens and is easily slipped over a dog’s head. Can be used when training, dog slip leads stop pulling by tightening when the dog starts to pull and loosening when the dog stops. It’s also handy as a spare lead to carry around which can be quickly slipped over the dog’s head if the collar breaks.
