How do I choose the best dog lead?

Of course, the basics do not stop with purchasing a dog collar or harness. Dog leads are a basic part of going for a nice walk with your dog. When choosing a dog lead, it is best to base your decision on why you are using the lead and the weight of your dog. For example, you would choose a different dog lead for your German Shepherd than for a Chihuahua. Which dog lead is suitable for your situation? A number of examples can be seen below;
Short dog leads – short dog leads are often used for dogs, and for good reason. They ensure your dog stays close to you, giving you better control while you are out for a walk. Short dog leads are therefore ideal for dog training or puppy training.
Long line – A long dog lead can really help in many situations. Do you want to teach your dog or puppy to run off the lead, or simply let your dog track you while you are enjoying the walk? A long line or a tracking line is a good tool. Long leads are also a saviour for dogs that are going through puberty and do not listen well. You can choose a dog lead of 3 metres, 5 metres or even 10 metres and still enjoy safe and fun walks with your dog.
Flexi roller lead – A flexi dog lead is a retractable lead. These leads roll up automatically and are extremely popular. A Flexi dog lead gives your dog the freedom to explore on the go without the lead getting tangled. Ideal for dogs that like to use their nose. Choose a Flexi roller lead that can be adapted for the weight of your dog; these provide a lot of control while out for a walk.
Adjustable Dog Lead – An adjustable dog lead combines the advantages of both a short and long dog lead. These leads are adjustable in length and can be adapted to the situation perfectly. Adjustable leads are also called training leads because they are ideal for training dogs. In addition, they can of course also be used perfectly for a nice walk.
Jogging line – Do you enjoy running and taking your dog with you? A jogging line is perfect for you. Fit a running belt around your hips to leave your hands free. These leads are often used for running with dogs and hands-free walks.
Coupling line – Do you have to walk two or more dogs and are unable to hold all the leads? A coupling line is a good choice to take your pack out. A coupling line makes it possible to connect two dogs to one dog lead. You can then keep one hand free while walking.

When and why do you use a muzzle?

muzzle can help you enjoy safe, comfortable walks with your dog. Because the band closes the mouth, the dog cannot snap or bite. But a muzzle is not only suitable for snappy dogs. A muzzle is also a godsend for dogs that are a bit too curious. Young dogs, and puppies in particular, have a reputation for wanting to eat everything while they are out for a walk. Exploring everything is a part of being a puppy of course, but eating dangerous things must be prevented. Before you know it, your puppy may have downed a dangerous mushroom. Prevention is really better than cure in this case. A muzzle can help enormously with this.

Safety first! Safety underway!

We can’t say it often enough: being safe while enjoying a walk is very important. Being prepared for walkies is not only important for yourself, but also for your dog. Dark winter evenings, foggy summer mornings, and rainy autumn days call for extra safety. Make sure you and your dog are clearly visible in traffic at all times. Use a collar light, safety vest or reflective dog jacket, and you will be well prepared and safe on the road.
