Every dog parent has a complicated relationship with their dog’s leash. We rely on leashes to keep our curious and distracted pups safe and nearby. But sometimes when you clip one on and take your dog out, it turns into a Murphy’s Law situation.
Whether they’re dragging a broken fence post behind their leash or tangling your legs with it, our dogs don’t exactly make trips out easy. If you’ve been there, you probably understand these leash-related struggles too:
When they lie down in the middle of a walk and decide to become cargo instead of dog.
Dog has decided walk is over, why are you still tugging?
Your dog makes it a personal project to untie the leash from its post.
No! How did you figure out my tricks?
Having to turn the leash into a bracelet or belt when you just want to sit and your dog doesn’t.
That elegant pas de deux dance of leash tangling with another dog.
Okay, everyone just stop moving for a second!
When they decide to make a whole outfit out of their leash.
No baby, you’re wearing it wrong. Though, it does look great on you.
Your dog making an unscheduled visit to the next table over when you’re eating out.
…and you apologizing to them even though they’re probably happy to say hello to him.
Getting an unintentional rope burn when your dog spots a bunny.
That rope can slide real fast across your hand if you’ve got the wrong hold on it! There’s something else you can avoid entirely with a hands-free Leash Lock.
Knowing when it’s better to just switch leash-holding hands.
Hey pup, you know I’m attached to you, right?
Rushing to move the leash out of the pee or poop path.
Oh no, I have to touch this thing with my hands!
Having to unwrap your dog from a tree.
How did you even accomplish this buddy?
Clutching the leash so tight when a car drives by too closely that you basically turn it to dust.
And of course you also have to throw a dirty look towards the driver.
Trying to fit a chair leg that’s too big into a retractable leash handle.
Most retractable leashes are not designed to fit chair legs, which ends up putting you into that leash bracelet situation.
Why You Need Leash Lock
Giving Back When You Shop
You probably know that giving back is a pretty big thing for us here at iHeartDogs.com. Similarly, you can feel good about buying Leash Lock too.
A portion of all Leash Lock proceeds are deployed to rescue and shelter organizations, paying for care and other adoption fees. Leash Lock partnered with the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando to provide their leashes at an affordable cost for anyone who adopts a dog from the shelter.
Leash Lock also donates to non-profits whose mission lies with providing U.S. Veterans with service dogs.
Until we can explain all the basic rules of good walk behavior to our dogs, Leash Lock makes a great solution to many of these leash struggles.
