Barkswell Hands Free Dog Lead - Dog Running Lead with Comfortable Adjustable Waist Belt for Jogging and Walking - 2 Zipped Pockets for Storage - Ideal Leash for Medium and Large Breeds

I have joint issues ,particularly in my shoulders and hands and I struggle with traditional leads . This product has enabled me to walk my dog ,who pulls , for the first time in 12 months . I haven't walked him without being in pain .The two hand holds are very effective and even the bungee aspect allows you to hold it securely if needed .My dog wore a harness and really seemed to pull less , having my hands free to pick up his mess is another positive . The storage/zip part on belt is larger than appears and I could fit a samsung s24 fe in and poop bags with no problem .The belt itself is comfortable and has lots of extension to it .This product has given me back that freedom to walk my dog again ,independently. Thank you !Would highly recommend.

I bought this as a means to train both of my Hungarian Vizsla boys to walk to heel. The D ring on each side means that I can attach one dog on each side of my waist, and then use one hand each to correct their pulling with gentle little flicks. Also leaves my hands free to squeeze liver paste out of a tube as a treat for getting it right. 3 days in to the new training regime and the boys are walking nicely with fewer reminders, and I am swearing less, have no shoulder pain and my lower back doesn't ache after each walk. Having your dog attached to your was it gives you extra grounding if he decides to pull, and this belt is more than strong enough to deal with both of my dogs pulling at the same time (a combined weight of over 50 kilos!) The lead has a good bungee element, which knocks some of the oomph out of any pulling, and the pouch is the perfect size for a roll of poo bags and loads of lovely treats. Cleverly, the pouch has two separate sections which means you can have dog stuff in one part and still have room for phone, wallet and keys in the other, without having to fish biscuit crumbs out of your phone charger socket each time... Obviously designed by a dog owner, with all of the right attention to detail. It's early days yet, but this does seem to be a robust piece of kit, well-made and cleverly designed and a bargain for the price, considering some of the other products on the market. I have a much bigger canicross belt, but the lead works perfectly with that too for attaching my second dog. All round, I am delighted with it.

I bought this to walk my cat while I am on crutches. I've found it really comfortable and practical, my only gripe - someone else mentioned this as well - is that the lead is a little short as it is and although it's elasticated, it's a bit stiff for my cat to pull it out longer. He's used to being walked on an extendable lead (a big one we used to use for our collie, as he's quite strong) meaning he can wander off a little further at will. He's been really pulling on this trying to go a little faster than I can at the moment. I can imagine it would be great for dog walking.

This is one of the best pet products I have purchased over the years. I have 2 fairly well trained dogs who are used to being on slip leads with no pulling. To use this I put them on harnesses which these clip leads easily attach to. The pockets on the belt look tiny but they are perfect size for carrying poo bags and my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra fits neatly into one, they are also waterproof too!The belt is easily adjusted and there are loops both sides to clip onto. My dogs are trained to heel on the left side and both of them can be easily clipped to the same side.Lead length is perfect for running and allows both dogs to run comfortably next to me without any of us being dragged. Elasticity is also good and I like the double handles on the leads themselves.I haven't run in a couple of years so am starting back with couch 2 5k and this is perfect to bring the dogs along too. Would really recommend this product to anyone new or old to running with their dogs.

Only used it twice so far but so far so good.It feels very well made from good quality materials and does exactly what I need it to do for runs with my lurcher.Pockets are big enough for snacks and treats the one side (for him not me) and poo bags and phone for the compulsory dog and man running selfie.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Matched what I wanted at a very good price

The belt is comfortable to wear and the pocket feature is good for a phone, poo bags and treats. I bought this for a young collie as we walk through a lot of sheep fields, so this let's me walk hands-free and take photos easily. After a year of regular use the plastic belt clips have snapped and left a sharp bit that catches on hands and clothes. The bunjee part of the lead has lost its elasticity completely, not from the dog pulling, but more from climbing over stiles and maybe because I don't dry it out between uses. I have used this for about 18 months and it needs replacing now.

Love the lead- game changer!I run with an excited cockapoo and it’s perfect! No more struggling with an extendable!Looks great too. Pouch for poo bags and iPhone. Pouch is stretchy so contents feel really secure.Great customer service also
