Keep your pup close and secure in busy areas with our selection of traffic handle dog leashes. Traffic handle dog leashes are designed to provide enhanced control in high-traffic environments by incorporating an additional handle closer to the dog's collar. This feature allows handlers to keep their dogs close when necessary. Whether your dog is a city slicker or a regular at the dog park, traffic handle dog leashes provide the perfect balance of freedom and safety for daily walks and adventures.
Whether you prefer classic nylon webbing for everyday durability or weather-resistant materials for outdoor adventures, Chewy has the perfect leash for your furry friend. These versatile leashes provide improved command for when the unexpected pops up.
A traffic handle leash features a secondary handle positioned closer to the collar, typically 1-2 feet from the clip. This design allows you to quickly shorten the leash and keep your dog close when navigating crowded areas, passing other dogs, or crossing busy streets.
The best materials for traffic handle leashes include durable nylon webbing, which is weather-resistant and easy to clean; leather, which offers strength and develops a beautiful patina over time; and padded neoprene handles for comfort during prolonged use. The ideal material depends on your specific needs and usage patterns.
Traffic handle leashes work well for most dogs, but considerations vary by size. For larger or stronger dogs, look for wider webbing (1 inch or more) and reinforced stitching. Smaller dogs may benefit from lighter, narrower options. The leash thickness and handle positioning should be proportional to your dog's size and strength for optimal control and comfort.
