Julius-K9 IDC Powerharness: The best all-round dog harness for convenience and fit If you’ve got through several dog harnesses during the lifespan of your dog, you’ll likely be looking for one that can withstand a bit more tough action and energy.

The YOUTHINK Dual dog lead makes walking two dogs at one time easier and less of a hassle with its split head design. Instead of needing two separate leads, this dual lead splits about halfway down and has two separate clasps. Furthermore, this dog lead is made with an impact-resistant nylon and fibreglass housing mechanism, which promises smooth operation, tangle-free retraction, and long-lasting durability. The length of the dog lead should be based on your pet’s size and characteristics. It should be long enough to allow your dog enough freedom to explore. However, it should also short enough to let you guide your pet without him or her getting caught up in the leash.

Another handy feature is the traffic handle – a split section of non-stretchy webbing positioned very close to the dog’s harness. It’s imperative that you use this handle when approaching a road or walking on the pavement.

If you have a puppy or a small dog up to 15kgs in weight that you’d rather not let off the lead, consider one of these extendable auto-rewind models from Flexi. Available in two lengths (3m and 5m) and three sizes, the Flexi’s tape is neon coloured so others are less likely to get tangled up in it when your dog’s doing its mad dog stuff. We would suggest the 5m version simply because it’s a good thing to have an extra two metres to hand. When choosing dog leads, there are important features to consider. Below are some of them: Material The Vivifying Obedience is our top choice for the best long line dog lead. It measures 10 metres long, making it a great option for training purposes, especially recall training. It is also suitable for use in wide-open spaces. Due to its training capability, we also think this is one of the best leads for puppies. Features Where the figure-hugging Ruffwear Front Range is quite heavily padded and therefore a little hot to wear when the temperature rises, this skimpier, bikini-like model is thinner and lighter and much better suited for use on hot summer days. Moreover, it enables instant size adjustments that cater to your surroundings. This allows your dog to roam about and smell its surroundings but also allows you to keep your dog close when crossing the road or when people approach.If you have a dog that pulls on the lead every time you go for a walk, consider a front-range harness with a leash ring on the chest strap. These are proven to work wonders at getting a dog to heel. If you have an especially powerful lead-puller then invest in a double-lead balance system such as the Mekuti, reviewed in this roundup. How do I measure my dog for a new harness? The Sweetie Rope dog lead makes an excellent choice for dogs of any size, thanks to the lightweight yet strong and durable design. It does not come with a weight restriction limit of any kind, so even the largest dogs will be manageable without causing damage to the lead. Features

Ostensibly designed for active dogs accompanying their owners on long outdoor runs in the countryside, the Hi & Light is constructed from light Ripstop nylon material and features slim nylon straps, a single top-mounted aluminium leash clasp and a sealed Velcro pouch with integral cord for attaching a name tag. The pouch is also big enough to store a few emergency poo bags. The heavy-duty plastic clips are seriously large and we wonder if this combination of wide webbing and large clips is the reason the whole harness tends to shift over to one side after a few minutes wear. That said, at no time did the dog – an elderly Labrador – appear to be in discomfort. We suspect the smaller sizes use narrower, thinner and more supple webbing, which should ensure the harness remains in better position. This belt harness is a good option for larger and wider breeds of dog. It’s extremely easy to fit: just slide the large loop over the dog’s head and clip it on. For comfort and maximum control over your dog, this lead features a foam barrel handle with an additional traffic loop handle near the clip so you can hold your dog close before crossing the road or when visitors approach. It also features a sewn-in D-ring to hang accessories like a waste bag. Conveniently, this lead features two handles, a traditional one on the end and a restricted traffic handle close to the clasp for keeping your dog close by your side. Two D-rings are sewn near the handles for attaching accessories.This dog lead features two padded handles, one for regular use and another for a more restricted grip near the splitter. A bundle ring to contain excess lead and a zip-up pouch for waste bags and keys are built-in to the design. The splitter sections are also adjustable in length. IDC Powerharnesses are far and away the easiest of all models to fit and remove: simply slip the large opening over the dog’s head, clip in the chest strap, attach the lead to the top-mounted D-ring and go. Do bear in mind that a harness of this nature won’t necessarily prevent your dog from pulling; it’s simply a kinder, more convenient, safer and comfier alternative to walking with a dog collar and leash. By using this lead, you are able to free up one of your hands. It also helps to prevent any tangling, which is common when you hold two different leads in the same hand. Features This harness fits supremely well without restricting the dog’s movement in any way. It’s also a doddle to put on and one of the easiest to adjust. Granted, it’s not the cheapest model here, but it’s very well designed and a great option for both energetic dogs and hot sultry summers.

A traffic handle will also help keep your dog close when you’re around strangers or if your pet is prone to leash aggression. Choosing the Best Lead for Your DogHaving a dog lead is an essential part of being a dog owner, especially if you do not live in a rural area. Whether you recently got a new dog or puppy or simply need upgrading your current dog lead, you have come to the right place.
