I experienced the horror of looking down at my 2 Greyhounds that I was walking to see only one. I had taken my glove off at some point in the walk and unbeknown to me I had unhooked one lead and it had dropped to the floor. I then carried on walking as did the girls. I only realised when I looked round at them to see I only had one! She had turned down a side road when we didn't. Luckily I noticed pretty quickly and she hadn't gone far. Fortunately she didn't freak out and run with her lead dangling or bolt into the road when the kind passer by tried to catch her.
So, it can happen to anyone no matter how careful you are.
I have also heard many stories of dog thieves grabbing leads or pushing people over. I also often wondered what would happen if I fell and let go of the lead. So, now I don't need to worry any more and neither do you!
This wrist strap allows you to attach yourself more securely to your dog's lead. You can wear the strap on your wrist or through a belt. The clip fastener can either connect to one lead's handle or slip through one or more handles to double back and clip onto it's own 'D' ring.
It could be used to secure the leads to an anchor point when needing to be hands free too.
Or.... attach yourself to a pushchair, something you don't want to drop, forget or get snatched.
This would also be useful to assist if you don't have a strong grip.
It would stop a dog from running off if you lost grip on an extender lead handle for example.
Many uses!
If you would like an all in one version then take a look at https://littlepinkdogcollars.ecwid.com/Lead-With-W... It is a lead with a wrist strap inbuilt, ideal if you only have one dog to walk or would like a new lead.
Please note, this must not be used if you would not wrap your lead around your wrist or if your dog is likely to pull hard or suddenly as this may cause injury.
