We’re always looking for new products that make pet parents’ lives simpler! With all of the leashes hitting the market these days, we decided to put a few to the test.
Thundersnap Leash
Perfect for:
- People in apartments or homes where they frequently take their dogs out on leash.
- Dogs of all ages.
What we like:
- This leash uses powerful magnets and a strong ball-bearing latch mechanism.
- It quickly and securely connects to any collar.
- It’s been tested to over 500lbs of force.
- Connects and releases in a Snap!
Things to consider:
- The portion that stays on your dog’s collar can seem bulky for smaller dogs.
- We love the quick latch, but some were concerned about strength over time.
- If your dog has long or fluffy hair, it can be challenging to find the clip.
Dial a Distance Leash
Perfect for:
- Dogs of all ages.
- People who like retractable leashes, but are looking for more flexibility.
What we like:
- You set the distance. If you’re in the city, you can set it at a shorter length. Hiking? Extend the length to give your dog some more space.
- You can quickly and easily adjust the distance with a turn of the dial.
- Dial-A-Distance will automatically brake at the max length you select, from 0 to 15 feet.
- It’s comfortable to hold.
- A retractable leash where you don’t have to rely on the thumb break for certain distances.
Things to consider:
- It can be slightly difficult to adjust the distance when walking.
- The handle itself is fairly large, so for some people it may be hard to hold onto.
- You don’t have the added security of looping your wrist through the handle.
The Gizmo
Perfect for:
- Leash training with puppies.
- People who love gadgets but run out of room to hold them all.
- People looking for a comfortable handle.
What we like:
- It’s super lightweight and easy to carry.
- The specifically designed carabiner can hold any dog weighing up to 120lbs.
- You can switch the standard carabiner with the dual leash carabiner to freely walk two dogs in one hand.
- You can customize it by adding any of my connectables which come in: flashlight, poop bag dispenser and training kit.
- The dual leash carabiner eliminates the constant double leash tangle
- The flashlight is a nice touch especially in fall and winter.
Things to consider:
- It may be easy for this unit to slip out of your hand with a strong puller.
- Picking up poop while walking multiple dogs can be challenging.
- You don’t have the added security of looping your wrist through the handle.
Tuenne Leash
Perfect for:
- Dogs of all ages.
- People who are looking for a sturdier clasp such as a carabiner.
What we like:
- This leash feels like a solid, well designed leash.
- It’s made with aluminum and steel components and has a forged screw gate carabiner.
- It has a ball and socket swivel design and is made from climbing rope.
- This leash comes in custom lengths, colors and with interchangeable handles which really allows you to have fun with it.
- The handle is super soft, and feels soft on your wrist.
Things to consider:
- The large size of the carabiner can be a little bit bulky to use with small dogs.
- You have to remember to lock the carabiner to make it 100% safe.
