Caldwell's Original Running Leash

our dog is 2.5yo 65lb mutt who is relatively chill but strong. We’ve tried regular leashes, climbing rope leashes, fancy silicone, bungee leashes and bungee hands free. We stay away from bungee because the bungee eventually gives out and it turns into a regular leash after a few months of daily use. This has been our longest lasting (just from what we do on a regular basis and what works for us) and we find ourselves wanting more similar to this leash. It rotates well when dog likes to switch lanes, we like the buckle release for both the waist and for the leash. The only reason we need another one and hopefully the clip is updated, is because she can shake off the leash and we believe it’s our dog is 2.5yo 65lb mutt who is relatively chill but strong.

We’ve gone hiking, running, swimming in this leash and it’s definitely our favorite. Not willing to spend more than this now that this has worked so well for us. … more

I love everything about this purchase. If you run with your dog, you need one of these. If you walk your dog, I recommend it too. And if I had known how amazing it is I would have gotten one when I was house breaking my pup. I could've had my eye on him at all times.

I was looking for a hands free leash to use while I ran with my 62 lb Australian Shepherd mix. This leash fits just what I was looking for...adjustable length, snaps around my waist, and is secure. I’ve been using it 3 weeks now and am pleased. I can run freely, without worrying I am jerking on his neck while keeping strong arm movements.

The Caldwell running leash works Great! Easy to use and adjust to keep the dog close or give them longer lead.

My family recently acquired a standard labradoodle puppy and I (mom) found it impossible to do household chores and supervise the puppy at the same time. This was the answer to my dilemma. The waist belt for me and the attached leash for the puppy allowed me to move about hands-free throughout my multiple level house all the while keeping the puppy right next to me. The belt and the leash are both sturdy and well made. One thing though, I don't think the belt would extend out enough to fit an extra large man's waist.

Unfortunately I had an experience somewhat similar to someone on here. My dog is not great on the leash but is not pulling as much as he used to. Today on a walk, he wasn’t even pulling and the clasp just randomly fell off his harness. Thank goodness he was just wandering and didn’t see anything across the busy street. This leash did last us a few months, but I can’t in good faith ever recommend this product. There is way too much at stake.

i love this thing. it is so easy and when my dog switches sides from right to left it slides on over to the other side. i even use it to bike with my dog. i attached a carabiner so i can walk both of my dogs at the same time and it works great. simple and easy.

Bought two when traveling with two dogs. Makes it easy. They are simple to use once you know how to adjust it and adjusting was a little confusing cause it wouldn’t tighten easily but other than that for the price you can’t beat it being simple to snap and go!

Works great. Love that you can detach the leash from the waist belt or from the dog collar. Love that you can shorten or lengthen the leash easily while on a run.

Very handy to have the hands free walk. The leash is durable and very comfortable. The only suggestion I would make is make a loop handle for times when you want them to be closer to you.
