WHY WE USE A HANDS-FREE DOG LEASH WALKING KIT

Almost since day ONE of dog parenthood, we quickly realized that using the typical leash-in-hands method is inconvenient, unsafe, and unpleasant. We thought about innovating a system that would give us more convenience and security, with added multiple fail safe features. We also pictured having the ability to hold treats and other items easily. I especially wanted my hands to be free to enable better focus on training and bonding while enjoying the outdoors with our fur kids. That was in 2009.

Back then, hardly any products existed to create this system for daily walks, so we started building our own belt methods and attached existing leashes to those belts. We quickly realized how durable these belts need to be, and the only belts that were secure enough were extremely bulky climber’s belts. You can even see us using them in some of our older Youtube videos!

We tried various setups through the years, including ready kits you can buy, until we fine-tuned exactly what we wanted in a hands-free dog leash system. We pieced simple and durable components together, and we’ve been using this system successfully since 2018. We’ve literally traveled around the world with the Husky Squad using this setup.

So what’s the “YES” part I mentioned above in my answer?

This hands-free leash system CAN ABSOLUTELY assist you in working with your dog. Because your hands will be freed up, you can focus more on proper walking manners, bonding, and enjoying one of the most beneficial activities you can do together. However, no system will do the training work for you, this is where you take charge and guide your dog in this process.

I’ve been using THIS hands-free dog leash setup to work with our huskies, as well as other dogs we’ve fostered, rehabilitated and adopted out to loving families. Although our method is not what you’ll get from classically trained dog trainers, we’ve found incredible success in the way we use it. Training our dogs in our own ways has even eventually led us to trust our huskies to be off-leash and enjoy the great outdoors even more – and beyond. I feel every dog parent deserves to experience this special and trusting dog connection.

NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THE CAUTIONS OF A HANDS-FREE SETUP

It’s extremely important to learn if this setup is safe for your current physical health condition, as well as the safety precautions you need to be mindful about for your dog. Be sure to watch the video above for detailed explanations.

Additionally, I would not recommend starting to use a hands-free dog walking system during pregnancy. I also suggest checking with your midwife or health care provider if you can use this setup during pregnancy, even once you and your dog are already used to it.
