01 · The idea

Why a handsfree dog leash changes your walks.

A regular dog leash occupies one hand. Always. Picking up the phone, holding coffee, throwing a ball. Everything with one hand. A handsfree leash gives you back two hands. You wear it crossbody and your dog walks beside you.

For runners, it is essential: your arms must move freely. But for daily walkers, it is also a game changer. Just try walking a dog with coffee in one hand, a poop bag in the other, and a leash that needs to be somewhere in between.

02 · The use

Three ways to wear it: crossbody, waist or hand.

Our handsfree dog leash is worn over your shoulder, diagonally across your body, or around your waist. You can also hold it in your hand. Your dog walks at your hip, your hands are free, and the leash adjusts in length so you can set it just right for your body.

The leash adjusts from 130 to 260 cm. Read how long a handsfree dog leash should be for your height and the way you walk.

01

Crossbody

Over the shoulder, diagonally. Best for city walks and shopping, with your dog at your hip and your hands free.

02

Around the waist

Wear it around your waist when you want your dog close beside you and your hands free.

03

In the hand

Hold the leash like a classic leash when you want maximum control, for example on busy roads.

03 · Sport

Running with your dog: this is what you need to know.

A handsfree leash suits a light run with a dog that already walks well beside you. Your arms move freely and the leash sits securely over your shoulder. It is not canicross gear, so it is not made for a dog that pulls hard or for fast running. For the best control, combine it with our dog harness.

Start slowly and let your dog get used to the pace first. Only run with your dog once he is fully grown: for large breeds that is after 12 to 18 months. Start with short sessions of about 10 minutes and build up gradually. Read more in our guide to running with a handsfree dog leash.

Frequently asked questions.

What is a handsfree dog leash?

A handsfree dog leash is an adjustable leash you wear crossbody or around your waist, so your hands stay free. You can also hold it in your hand like a classic leash.

Crossbody or around the waist: which is better?

It depends on how you walk. Crossbody suits city walks and shopping, while the waist position is good for quieter walks. Compare all three ways in our guide to crossbody, waist and hand carrying.

How long is a handsfree dog leash?

Ours adjusts from 130 to 260 cm, so you can set the length for your body and your dog. Read our guide to the right length for more detail.

Can I use it with a dog that pulls?

Yes, as long as your dog does not pull hard. For strong pullers, train with a harness with a front clip first, before you switch to a handsfree leash.

Handsfree or regular leash?

A regular leash suits walks where you hold it all the time. A handsfree leash gives you two free hands for walks, shopping and busy streets. Compare them in our guide to handsfree versus regular leashes.

Can I also use it as a regular leash?

Yes. You can just hold it in your hand like a classic leash. You don't need to buy two leashes.
