Walks should be the best part of your dog's day — and yours. A little of the right gear goes a long way.
Choose the right leash length
A retractable leash gives your dog room to explore while you keep control. Five metres suits busy streets; eight metres is better for parks and open paths. Our Hands-Free Retractable Dog Leash has a one-thumb lock and a comfort grip, and it's rated for dogs up to 50kg.
Look for a reliable brake
The single most important feature is a lock that engages instantly and holds. It's what keeps a confident dog from bolting toward a road or another dog.
Sort out the after-walk routine
Muddy, wet dogs and clean hallways don't mix. A Quick-Dry Dog Bathrobe Towel wraps on and wicks water fast, so there's less shaking, shivering and mess — and it's machine washable.
A simple kit that works
- A retractable leash sized to where you walk
- A quick-dry robe for rainy days and post-bath
