Awesome for all kinds of outdoor activities

The hands-free leash has been a game changer for runs with my cattle dog. My form is so much better now that I'm not holding a standard leash in one hand, and the bungee provides a little extra comfort when he gets excited. The Sidekick 37" orange leash has been the perfect length for us. We have plenty of leash to run comfortably spaced on neighborhood sidewalks, and I can easily lean down to grab a handle and pull him close whenever I need. The hands-free leash has also been a great help with paddle boarding. I keep my dog safely leashed while we're launching and returning, then unhook him while we're underway; I love being able to carry equipment while keeping him close to me and away from distractions. Can't believe I used a standard leash for so long, we're converts for all of our outdoor activities now!

Hi Megan, Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re super happy to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your new gear and your paddle boarding adventures! Thank you again for taking the time to let us know.

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

Great new addition

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.

Hi Angela, Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your new gear. It's always recommended (on our FAQ page) to wear something under your Iron Doggy™ Belt - this helps to provide padding, more stability, comfort, and counter-balance. The belt should always be worn snuggly on your hips, versus your waist. Thank you so much again!

Perfect for the excitable German Short Haired Pointer in my life

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.

Hi Liz, Thank you for your feedback. We're really happy to hear that you and your GSP are enjoying your new gear. Thank you so much again!

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.

Hi Pedro, Thank you for your feedback. We're really glad to hear that you and Myles are happy with your new gear. Thank you so much again!
