Looking to buy Dog Leads?
When introducing a new four-legged friend into your family, one of the most essential items to tick off your dog shopping list is a lead. Required in all kinds of places from high streets to beaches, a lead is an absolute must-have. It will help to keep your pup safe in busy areas and give you peace of mind that they won’t get lost. But with so many different types, where do you begin?How to Choose The Best Dog Leads
There are multiple different types of leads to choose from when you browse around online, but how do you choose between an extendible lead and an extra-long lead? Well, OnBuy’s here to help! Check out the tips and tricks below to help you choose the best lead for your pooch.
Extendible leads are one of the most popular designs of leads available. They feature a handle that includes a casing, and a lead that is automatically wound up inside and extends out when your dog pulls on it. You can lock it in place for their safety and your convenience. These leads are ideal for dogs who aren’t trusted to be off the lead but who still want the freedom to roam. Additionally, they are also great for those who love to stop and sniff at everything so you can keep strolling and not worry about not having your eye on them and are available in various different lengths such as 10 or 20 metres. Due to the material being fairly thin (so it can be wound up), an extendible lead might not be the best option for dogs who tend to pull or chew on their leads.
For strong pullers and lead-chewers, a chain lead is probably a good option to look into. The metal links are a much stronger option to fabric leads and can withstand a lot more weight. The downsides to a chain lead is that they can be quite heavy and tend to be fairly short so won’t give your dog the freedom to roam.
If you’re still working on that recall training, or you want to give your pup a longer lead than is available in an extendible one, you can always opt for an extra-long lead. These leads are perfect for dogs who like to run far and fast but aren’t great at being called back yet. The extra-long length gives you less control over your dog though so if you are walking next to a lot of roads on your way to the park, you may need to opt for a shorter lead that you can swap over.
If you're lucky enough to have more than one furry friend, why not opt for a double dog lead? This style will allow you to walk both pups simultaneously without the struggle of getting tangled up in multiple leads!
Frequently asked questions about dog leads
How to choose a lead for my dog?
Always choose a lead that's odour resistant and one that's easily washable. Leads can get dirty and smelly very fast, so it's always good to keep it clean to ensure your home stays fresh. As dogs tend to chew their leads and can often pull during walks, it's always best to buy one that's durable - or else you may find yourself going through a fair few until they grow out of the habit!
What lead should I get for a dog that pulls?
You should get a lead that's made out of leather, as they're good for strong dogs who are prone to pulling. The lead should be sturdy, lightweight, and suitable to the size and breed of your dog.
If I pull the lead, can I hurt my dog?
Dog necks are just as sensitive as ours, so there are many dangers when it comes to pulling the lead. Constant pulling on a lead can cause severe injuries, including strangulation and choking. In worst-case scenarios, it can even lead to death. If you pull the lead, it can cause your dog to become more aggressive and frustrated. Do not pull your dog's lead. Instead, train him how to walk properly beside you.
How can I train my dog to walk on a lead beside me?
Put the lead on your furry friend, call its name, and start walking away slowly without looking back. Your dog should follow you and try to walk next to you on the side that you're holding the lead. Reward this behaviour with a treat or use the treat to lure your dog to your side. Positive reinforcement through the use of treats is one of the most effective ways to train your dog. After all, the key to your dog's heart is through their stomach!
