You'll appreciate the light-weight design of the SideKick with the added reassurance of a unique shock-absorbing system that prevents stress to your hands, shoulders, and back. Enjoy comfortable runs or walks as our swivel sliding snap hook glides effortlessly as your dog moves from side-to-side, allowing you to feel safe while being entirely hands-free.
When you need to gain control of your dog, the two control handles are ergonomically designed to be grasped effortlessly, the second you need them. We've also engineered a range of specially placed hold-knots to prevent slippage and keep your hands safe from leash burn.

For added convenience, our Solo-Pocket® easily fits onto your Iron Doggy™ Belt and provides a safe place to pack any necessities you want to bring on your next adventure, including doggy bags, keys, and treats.
Features:
Our premium marine-grade system is meticulously handcrafted using only high-performance materials with a minimum breaking strength of 132 pounds.

I love my Iron Doggy leash! I run my dog everyday and have had difficulty with waist running leads from other brands where the attachment does not move on the waist belt. I was worried about my gait and back if my dog moved an unexpected way (squirrel sightings!). This iron doggy hip leash is very well made material wise, and the free moving attachment makes it better on your body. Will never use another!
Alanna, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your runs! Thank you so much for letting us know (and for the beautiful photo).
I have a 5 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback who has a high prey drive and lots of energy. It has been a challenge finding ways to walk with him that makes it enjoyable for both of us. The Sidekick leash (that I use with a harness) is perfect for allowing him some freedom to sniff/explore a bit but the length keeps him close. My hands can be free to give him training treats and manage him as needed. The shorter handle loop works well when I need to rein him in to a heel position. I plan to use the leash for jogs and on trail hikes in the future when he's physically more mature and able. For now, the Sidekick is a great tool that I'm using during the puppy training stage and hope to use for its intended purpose in the future. I look forward to that day!
Michelle, Thank you for your feedback. We're really glad to hear that you and your Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy are enjoying your new gear together. Thank you so much for letting us know about your experience so far!
Amazing product. Game changer!
Matthew, Thank you for your feedback. We're super stoked to hear you're enjoying your new gear. Thank you so much again for letting us know!
We've started taking our pup for hikes & longer walks and we wanted the ability to be hands free. This leash has improved the independence of our pup, as she can wander a bit but the bungee pulls her back when she goes too far. It also was great during our most recent hike, as she unexpectedly went for a chipmunk, but I wasn't pulled with her because I was stable through the waist. I am also a big fan of the hand loops, which allow for more close guiding of our pup.
Elizabeth, Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your hikes and walks with your new gear. Thank you so much again for your feedback!
This leash beats the one I've been using by a mile or more! It's lightweight and stays in place (i.e. it doesn't ride up or down). The length of the leash is perfect for my dog giving him enough room to run along beside me, not too long but not too short! I did get the additional belt pouch and am not impressed, it slides around and bunches up on the belt....I don't put much in it as I always wear a pack w/pockets so that may be part of the problem. All in all this leash is worth every penny!
Keri, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your runs together with your new gear. You are correct about the solo-pocket. If it doesn't have much (or anything) in it, it won't be stretched out to remain in place on your Iron Doggy™ Belt as you run. It's best to put your necessary items (e.g. doggy bags, keys/ID, cards, treats, etc.) inside of it. This should definitely alleviate the concern you expressed. Thank you so much again for your feedback!
