Great product with lots of clever details. Made mine and my wife’s running a lot easier and safer.

My first Iron Doggy leash is likely 4-5 years old…I got it for running with my dog after 2-3 other bungee leashes failed. I now have a second running partner so I went for another…but was certain to purchase the REAL DEAL as opposed to similar looking knockoffs…I know the quality of Iron Doggy and want to support them!!

I love everything about iron doggy - Great product, and love the bungy and handles

The belt is sturdy and comfortable. The pocket didn't look like it would fit my phone, but it stretches large enough! Solid product. I wish it came with a couple more stretch pockets (removable) to allow customization for those who'd like to store even more items. The one pocket will only hold my phone.

This leash is super sturdy and is tricked out with all the features I never knew I wanted until I had them. Got this leash to replace running with a standard 6ft lead with my dog and it's totally changed our runs. She has freedom to go in front of me or lag behind to smell whatever she finds for a few seconds and I don't feel like my arm is going to fall off. It's super comfortable for me to run with and I feel confident that she is secure. I only wish that the top metal loop was a different color or something so it was easier to tell which is which when I'm adjusting the length. Otherwise, I'm so glad I stumbled across this company in my search for better dog-running gear.

My 10-month-old bernedoodle puppy was just cleared by the vet to begin jogging training. We're still working on leash manners and Iron Doggy stood out because the leash offers a bungee buffer for sudden stops, numerous handling enhancements, and a belt that allows the dog to switch sides without entangling the runner. I bought the leash/belt combo, extra belt for cell phone storage, and water bottle. I wish the water bottle was even better at staying on the belt, but overall I am so impressed with the system and can't recommend it enough.

Go buy this leash right now it's amazing.

Being able to comfortably start running with our dog has changed our relationship. It feels like he is now fulfilling his running destiny. I love the different lengths of the leash so I can keep him close or let him roam, I love the handles for quick grabs and the strength and quality of the materials. Auggie’s new favorite dog toy…after his bone.

I have been running with my pack for decades and always used a hand-held leash. This leash is a game-changer as it makes running more fun for both of us. My only concern is that the latch attached to my buddy’s harness came undone while taking a pit stop. Still not sure how it happened because I was looking away. I heard it drop on the ground. Fortunately, he did not run away. I guess I’ll use a carabiner to double secure the latch.

I use this leash for running with my dogs and walking with them. It’s plenty sturdy, feels well built, and has a multiplicity of control D-rings, handles and knots for different control needs. Love it!

I tried assembling something similar using other online sources but the results were clunkier, less useful and not much cheaper. This is the best bungie leash I’ve found.

I was convinced I wouldn't be able to run with my young, large german shepherd who wants to chase squirrels when she sees them! This leash is worth every penny spent! I do have to stand like a tree, but this is a strong leash. It has great bungee action, and handles in case I need to steer doggy away from pesky squirrels, or wherever I want to go. It also has different clips so I can decide how long of a leash I want. I have recommended this leash to so many people!

Walking, running two fully grown Rhodesian Ridgebacks at the age of 61 would not be possible without this amazing leash!!!

Very durable leash and I love the different lengths- perfect for both running and walking.

I was relieved they came back into production and I got one just in time for my newly acquired foster dog.
It works so well with our original set up and it is easy to untangle the two leashes.
One happy human and two happy retired sled dogs!
It has been wonderful with all the hand holds as we March around in our 41 inches of snow in Anchorage, AK!

We have 2 X 50 pound dogs that will lunge. This leash is the best I have ever used. It was very well designed and very durable. I love being hands free.

I walk with 2 dogs at a time and will run with 1 dog attached, both have been great.

Super high quality materials that function well and are easy to use. Everything seems durable (I have only owned it a short time) so far. I love having my hands free but my pooch still connected to me. I love the stretching action and the clips that allow me to keep my friend a little closer (or farther away). Highly recommend this leash!

My stubborn, dramatic, and part of our running team Husky could withstand no other leash. There isn't a day of running (in over 1 1/2 years now) that goes by without my gratitude for this leash; whether a spontaneous chase of a squirrel, a face off with a coyote, even after shoulder surgery, this leash having the placements of the knots, handles, and a little bungee spring (not too much) syncs perfectly so me (the human) doesn't fly forward or gets knocked down. It has actually helped strengthen me. I've tried to find others to no avail. This is the best, no doubt. In fact, I am very proud to say, a brand new Iron Doggy leash is going to the top dog winner of an Inaugural 5K we are having this October to benefit Guide Dogs For The Blind. Thank you Iron Doggy!!! You are the best!!

I don’t normally leave reviews, ever. But I wanted to get 2 new leashes for my dogs and I even waited on them to become available - that’s how worth it they are. I bought my first leash maybe 10 years ago from Iron Doggy and it is still in fantastic shape - the bungee never lost its strength, loops and connections are all still intact and strong, the only difference is that it has been used a lot so some of the edging has frayed from skidding along the ground at times. In between waiting for this leash to be available again, I bought another one from another site. They aren’t even in the same category. The other leash doesn’t feel strong and has too much bungee. I have 2 Aussies and they are strong puppies (1&2yr old) and the handles on these leashes are so helpful to quickly make the length shorter when I need it and the loop connections work great for connecting the 2 dogs together. I wanted to have 2 because previously I only had one and one dog for almost 12 yrs. I got 2 this time and I’m so glad I finally got them!! I can’t say enough good about these leashes and I tell anyone looking for a solid leash and/running leash all about these leashes. I have never found any other leash that compares - like not even close. In addition, I know when I first purchased I needed a running leash, but what I got was unexpected. 10 years and I still use it on my next generation of dogs! The 2 yr old pup and I have used the belt (same one from original purchase which has never let me down - strong belt & connection and has never popped open unintentionally) and leash for running which is also super convenient to hook the extra leash that I don’t need when we are running closer together. Best hands free trustable running leash, along with strongest most versatile and durable leash I have ever owned.

If above is too long for you to read, just know that you will not only get your moneys worth with this leash, but you will get longevity and strength throughout the years that remains from day 1. These leashes do not disappoint and are absolutely outstanding for any use! Resilient and dependable, you can’t go wrong here. And if you have more than one dog, even better! If you pass up on this leash, you will never meet another that you get your moneys worth and the test or time. I absolutely love these!! Highly recommend!!!

Keeps my phone secure when I run, doesn't bounce. Easy to get my key out when I get back to the house. Belt straps are not too skinny, so they stay flat. I use it every day.

Has made running with my golden retriever so much more easy, love that it is one continuous loop and clip is able to swing around. The only thing that would make this 5/5 if the belt loop was padded as it can be a little painful when the belt digs in or pulls against you.

Jogging with our dog has never been easier! Highly Recommend!

I like this shorter version of the Iron Doggy leash, because my dogs are into leg macrame and tangling sister into a spider web as they run. I have a couple of waist/joring belts so bought the leashes only. I had been adding a section of bungee to other leashes, but the weight of the snap in the middle of the leash was not ideal. These are perfect, lightweight with a good amount of stretch. I have a short handle I add when I don't want to do the waist method. My other leashes are hanging lonely now, it's sad.

So much to appreciate about this leash. It works for all the things - running, quickly securing me on a coffee run, adjusting the waist length to give me more snorfeling space. This leash has held up to use, abuse, and now - sadly - misplacement. No qualms about ordering a replacement -- thanks Iron Doggy!

This is my second Iron Doggy Leash.
Love these products!
Its perfect for walking hands free with the bonus of the handles to control your doggy when necessary. Still long enough too for the chance of a quick sniff and check of the super smells that my dog loves to do too.

This is our third run using the leash. It feels very light and strong, I hardly feel that I’m wearing it.
We use the leash with a reflective vest and Myles and I are very happy.
