Frequently Asked Questions

What leashes are best for dogs?

The best dog leashes combine durability, safety, and comfort to suit your specific needs and your dog's behavior. For everyday walks, a standard 6-foot nylon leash provides excellent control and reliability. Active owners often prefer hands-free options that allow for jogging or hiking while maintaining secure connection with their pet. PetSafe® leashes are designed with high-quality materials and safety features to ensure both you and your dog enjoy every adventure together.

What kind of leash do vets recommend?

Veterinarians typically recommend leashes that provide good control without causing strain or injury to your dog. A standard 4 to 6-foot leash is often preferred as it offers adequate control while allowing your dog some freedom to explore safely. Vets also emphasize the importance of using leashes with comfortable handles and secure attachments to prevent accidents. PetSafe® designs all our leashes with veterinary-approved safety standards and ergonomic features that promote healthy walking habits for both pets and owners.

Is a lead or harness better for a dog?

Both leads and harnesses serve important purposes, and the best choice depends on your dog's needs and behavior. A traditional leash attached to a collar works well for well-trained dogs, while harnesses provide better control and reduce neck strain for dogs that pull or have respiratory issues. Many pet owners find that combining a quality leash with a properly fitted harness offers the best of both worlds. PetSafe® offers both premium leashes and harnesses that work together to create a safe, comfortable walking experience for dogs of all sizes and temperaments.

What to use instead of a dog leash?

While leashes are the safest option for most situations, alternatives like harnesses with longer leads, head collars, or specialized training tools can provide different levels of control and freedom. In secure, enclosed areas, some well-trained dogs may enjoy supervised off-leash time. However, for public spaces and safety, a reliable leash remains the best choice for protecting your pet and others. PetSafe® offers a variety of leash styles and training tools that can help you find the perfect balance of freedom and security for your specific situation.

How to train your dog to walk off leash?

Off-leash training requires patience, consistency, and should only be attempted in safe, enclosed environments. Start with basic obedience commands like "come," "stay," and "heel" while on a long training leash, gradually increasing distance as your dog responds reliably. Practice in fenced areas before attempting off-leash walks in open spaces, and always ensure your dog has strong recall skills. While off-leash freedom can be rewarding, PetSafe® leashes provide the security and peace of mind needed for safe adventures, and our training-friendly designs help you build the foundation for excellent leash manners and reliable recall.
