Choosing Your Dog's Leash

When choosing what walking gear to outfit your new pup with, the variety of options seems endless!

Leashes are an important training tool and something that you’ll use almost every day — which means it’s important for you to find one that matches your needs and preferences.

You’ll see dog owners walking their pups on lots of different widths and lengths, styles, materials, and even different clasp and handle types. Which is best for you and your dog?

Different activities are easier with different kinds of leashes. You might find that having multiple kinds of leashes is best, depending on the things you plan on doing with your dog — whether it’s hiking, going to a dog training class, or walking through a crowded city center.

No matter what kind of leash you choose, it should be well-made with a secure clasp and comfortable for you to use.
