Hands Free Dog Leash - Medium 34-41 inch Waist Size

This is the ultimate running leash. I've tried other products because I was looking to save money and they all fell short of what I needed. This is a heavy duty piece of equipment that fits comfortable and allows me to run with my dog hands free. A few important points to understand/consider: If you are a male and running with the leash attached at the front, careful of the carabiner as it will hit you where you don't want it to when the dog gives you slack. I like to run with the dog at my side however he (a golden retriever) needs a few hundred feet of pulling before I can get him to cooperate with running at my side. I've tried various training methods and I consider this a compromise. To do this with this product, I attached the leash directly to the quick-release in the front (without the carabiner for reasons mentioned above) and put the carabiner on the side attachment. Then, he pulls me like crazy for a few blocks and when he's ready to settle down and run beside me with some slack, I snap the leash into the side carabiner so that it runs from the front to the side and out to the dog. It allows me to transition without breaking stride. Works like a dream. If the dog is tugging when you are attached to the side it will spin you. My only criticism is that when I hit 8 miles (which is probably close to the limit of what you should run with a dog) I start to chafe. Still much more comfortable than any other running leash I've tried.

First of all, the sizing for this product is very screwy. The small doesn't even come close to fitting my waist, but the medium is too big(I'm currently about a 30in waist). The small seems like it might fit someone with a 20-26in waist, and then the medium jumps to 34in (which is a bit more accurate). The attachments on this thing are horrible quality. The pouch busted when slightly overstuffed, and I can't stand to have a water-bottle bouncing up and down when I'm running. I ended up cutting both of them off, and I think adding them as a cheap way to justify a price hike. I don't like the large point of contact when I'm using this for running. It just means it absorbs more sweat and gets smellier faster. The Carabiner included with this is much too weak, and I had to buy a heavier duty one because the original broke. Velcro was also not a good solution for this belt. It wears out extremely quickly and then only serves to irritate your skin as it's moving up and down. All-in-all, I think this product is pretty terrible if you are using this for running. However, it works great for walking more than one dog. I think I would strongly recommend this to someone who has dogs that pull a lot. Using your body-weight to hold them back is far more effective and doesn't hurt your arm like a traditional leash. I also think many of the issues I have with this product would not have become apparent if I hadn't been using it for running (I run with one dog, but walk with two). the product has swivel points that make it much easier to prevent the two dogs from getting tangled. So my final assessment is: I would strongly recommend this product for someone with more than one dog for walks, but recommend against using this as a running aid.

Was excited to get this product. Everything was as advertised, but they are not accurate with the sizing. I'm a 36 waist and I can barely get it to fit. It claims up to 41' waist but don't find it accurate.

I was so excited to get this leash and start using it. I have been trying different hands-free dog leashes to run with my 50 lb Australian Cattle Dog/ Malamute mix and finally decided to splurge and get what I thought would be a long-lasting, good quality leash that could also hold my iphone and doggy bags. The harness is sturdy looking and reminiscent of a climbing harness, as others have mentioned here. The pocket fits an iphone, keys, and bags nicely. The water bottle is a nice feature. The actual leash itself is a little on the heavy side and does tend to thrash around while running. I also believe the company's line that the quick release snap cannot be accidentally opened; I had a hard time getting it opened purposely. HOWEVER, the metal bolt of the quick release snap that connects it to the harness popped out of its ring on just my first use of the leash! My dog was not even pulling hard and thankfully there were no cars around. Even if I could pop the connector back together, I would not trust it to hold. I am not sure if I received a defective leash, but for $50, I expected a better quality and performance. The fact that it broke where it definitely should NOT have broke means I am returning it and going back to the simple but reliable PetSafe leash. So disappointed, what a waste of time.
