Leash Struggles A Dog Parent Knows All Too Well

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:

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.

Sitting on the leash or wrapping it around your arm 10 times never really seems to work. You better get a Leash Lock, or you’ll be squeezing your upper thigh muscles together all day to keep a leash taught.

Okay, everyone just stop moving for a second!

No baby, you’re wearing it wrong. Though, it does look great on you.

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.

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!

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

Notice how a lot of these problems relate to who or what your dog’s leash is anchored to? It’s crazy no one else does this, but Leash Lock is the World’s First Clipping Retractable Leash. It lets you be hands-free when you’re out and about with your dog (no more rope burns or leash bracelets.)
And not to worry- it’s extremely secure, so your dog won’t go running off. Leash Lock extends up to 16 feet and can handle up to 110 pounds. Despite its convenience and security, Leash Lock is still meant to be used when you’re supervising your dog, so don’t just clip and walk away.
Securing the leash to something is incredibly easy. It basically works like a carabiner. You can attach it to street signs, beach chairs, table legs, and more. Watch a demonstration below:

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.
