HUNTER Dog Leashes

A dog leash is an essential piece of equipment for every owner. It’s important to have a leash you can rely on for peaceful walks with your dog. HUNTER dog leashes are robust, tear-resistant, and easy to clean, so nothing will get in the way of your long walks. In our store, we offer a variety of leash models and types with the usual high quality from HUNTER, so you can quickly find the perfect leash for your pet.

Which Leash Is Right for My Dog?

Dog leashes not only keep your dog close, but they are also practical training tools and facilitate communication between owner and dog. As your dog grows, you will most likely use different leashes adapted to their size and weight.

Leashes for Puppies and Small Dogs

First of all, you need to get your new housemate used to the leash. The best way to use a leash is to attach it to a harness. This will protect your puppy’s sensitive neck area if they pull on the leash due to their energy and excitement. For the first few walks, choose a narrow, adjustable leash. This makes it easier for your puppy to learn, giving them more freedom to sniff and explore the world. The narrower the leash, the less weight the puppy will have to bear on the harness or collar.

Leashes for small dogs

These leashes are made of lightweight material and feature small rings and snap hooks. This means that small dogs don’t have to carry the extra weight of the leash.

Leashes for large dogs

For large dogs, choose a wide leash made of a strong and robust material, such as leather or tear-resistant nylon, perhaps even with neoprene padding. Especially with heavy breeds, it’s important that you can fully rely on the leash and be prepared for any situation. High-quality snap hooks ensure that HUNTER leashes attach securely to the dog’s collar or harness.

What types of dog leashes are there?

In our shop you will find a wide variety of leashes:

• Retractable leash: With a retractable leash, your dog will have plenty of room to sniff and run around. Thanks to its intuitive braking mechanism, you will always have control over your dog’s freedom of movement.
• Lead: The classic dog leash that every owner has at home. The leash for everyday use, whose length is usually adjusted using rings or knots. It is available in many versions and in different materials and lengths.
• Retriever leash: Collar and leash in one: the 2-in-1 model among dog leashes. With the retriever leash, the collar is already integrated into the leash and is individually adjustable.
• Tracking/pulling leash: With a tracking leash, you will give your dog maximum freedom of movement; It’s also practical for training, tracking, stalking, or hunting.

What should I consider when buying a dog leash?

A trip to the city, a pleasant Sunday stroll through fields, meadows, and forests, or a morning run: all of these are perfect for your dog with the right leash. Depending on the situation and the leash, you can give your dog more or less freedom of movement. In our shop, you’ll find various leash models for sporting activities, stylish outings, or any everyday situation. Before buying a leash, think about the features it should have:

• Adjustability: Would you like to be able to adjust the leash length spontaneously? For example, do you have to cross a busy shopping street at short notice, but then want to take a walk in a large park? Then choose a leash with adjustable length. HUNTER training leashes can be adjusted up to three times, some even individually and continuously using a sophisticated knotting technique. So, you have a short model for the hustle and bustle of the city center and longer versions for running around in the countryside.
• Freedom of movement: To give your dog maximum freedom of movement and enough space to sniff and discover the world, without losing control, retractable, tracking, or drag leashes are especially suitable. This gives your pet ample room to move, which is why they are also used for hunting or canine sports.
• Material: Leashes should be wind and weather resistant. Therefore, rely on robust and easy-to-clean materials. At HUNTER, you’ll find dog leashes made of rope, plastic, or polyester that are easy to wash. You can also find leather and faux leather leashes, with proper care, in our shop.

Running with your dog

Running not only keeps the owner fit, but most dogs love it too. Since it’s not always possible to let your dog run free, HUNTER offers special running leashes. These leashes feature a shock absorber at the end that gently cushions sudden pulls. A benefit for both you and your dog. The leashes are also suitable for cycling and protect both dog and owner from unpleasant bumps and falls.
