This page holds our full range of dog leashes: braided and round rope leashes with padded handles, heavy-duty nylon leashes, waterproof PVC-coated leashes, bungee and shock-absorbing leashes, retractable leashes, hands-free leashes with a car seat belt clip, double leashes for walking two dogs, and matching collar, harness and leash sets. It is for everyday walks, training and travel, for small dogs through large breeds.

Standard leashes: rope, nylon and PVC

A fixed-length leash is the best choice for most walks and almost all training. Braided and round rope leashes are strong, comfortable to hold and do not cut into your hand when a dog pulls, and many here add a padded handle. Flat nylon leashes are light and inexpensive.

PVC-coated leashes are waterproof and wipe clean, which makes them good for beach walks, muddy trails and rainy climates, because they do not soak up water or smell. A 6 ft leash is the standard length, long enough for a dog to sniff and short enough to keep them close near traffic.

Bungee and shock-absorbing leashes

A bungee leash has an elastic section that stretches when a dog lunges, taking the jolt out of your arm and your dog's neck. They suit strong dogs, runners and owners with sore shoulders. Several here are reflective, which helps on early morning and evening walks.

A bungee does not teach a dog to stop pulling; it only softens it. For a dog who pulls hard, pair it with a front-clip harness and reward walking on a loose leash. Our no-pull dog leashes page has more on that.

Retractable leashes

Retractable leashes let a dog roam further on quiet trails and open spaces, with a button to lock the length. They are handy for sniff walks and potty breaks, but they make it hard to pull a dog back quickly, and the thin cord can burn skin if it wraps around a leg.

Use them only in open, low-traffic areas, never near roads, and with a dog who already comes back when called. Lock the leash to a short length when passing people or other dogs.

Hands-free and two-dog leashes

Hands-free leashes clip around your waist, so you can jog, push a stroller or carry coffee. The ones here also convert to a car seat belt tether. A shock-absorbing section helps when a dog darts toward a squirrel.

Double leashes split into two ends from one handle, so two dogs of similar size and pace can be walked together without tangling. They work best with dogs who walk calmly; two pullers on one handle are hard to control.

Collar, harness and leash sets

Matching sets take the guesswork out of buying for a new dog or puppy. The range includes soft leather harness and leash sets, padded coat and leash sets, velvet bow tie sets, bungee leash sets and no-pull harness sets. Check the collar and harness sizes against your dog's neck and chest measurements.

Always clip a leash to a well-fitting harness or a flat collar that your dog cannot back out of. You should be able to slide two fingers under a collar or harness strap, and no more.

Choosing the right leash

Think about where you walk and how your dog behaves. For city sidewalks, training and puppies, a 4 to 6 ft standard leash gives the most control. For strong pullers, a padded rope or bungee leash protects your hands. For trails, a waterproof leash or a retractable used with care gives more freedom.

Check the clip as well as the leash. A solid metal snap hook that closes firmly matters more than the material, and it should suit your dog's size. Replace any leash that is frayed, cracked or has a loose clip.

What length dog leash is best?

A 6 ft leash is the standard for everyday walks. A 4 ft leash gives more control in busy places, while longer leashes suit open trails and recall training.

Are rope leashes better than nylon?

Rope leashes are thicker and more comfortable to grip, and they rarely cut into your hand. Nylon is lighter and cheaper. Both are strong enough for most dogs if the clip is solid.

Are retractable leashes safe?

They are fine in open, quiet areas with a well-trained dog, but avoid them near roads or crowds. The cord can cause burns and makes it hard to reel a dog in quickly.

What leash is best for a dog that pulls?

A padded rope or bungee leash protects your hands and your dog's neck, and a front-clip harness reduces pulling. Rewarding a loose leash is what changes the habit.

Can I walk two dogs on one leash?

Yes, a double leash works well for two calm dogs of similar size and speed. If either dog pulls or lunges, separate leashes give you more control.
