Trixie Waist Belt & Dog Lead for running or walking | Medium & Large Dogs

Made from extremely hard wearing material, the Trixie Waist Belt with Leash is ideal for those who enjoy cani-cross (please not that only the medium-large size lead is suitable for cani-cross), jogging or other hands-free exercise activities with their dogs, while maintaining the necessary level of control to keep their pets safe.

A special leash system evenly spreads the pull of the dog across the waist and offers shock absorbing relief from strain if your dog pulls, alongside neoprene padding to ensure comfort when wearing the waist belt.  A useful hand loop allows for extra control if needed during walks and 2D rings are attached for storing waste bags or keys. Reflective piping will help you keep you and your pet safe when walking in lower light conditions such as at dawn or dusk.

Key Points:

• Hands-Free Dog Walking: Designed to allow the owner to walk, jog, or hike with their dog without having to hold the lead, offering greater freedom of movement.
• Waist Belt Comfort: Features an adjustable, padded waist belt for the human, distributing the dog's pull evenly and comfortably.
• Shock Absorbing Lead: Often includes an integrated elastic or bungee section in the lead to absorb sudden jerks or pulls from the dog, protecting both the dog's neck and the owner's back.
• Adjustable Lead Length: The lead typically offers adjustable length to suit different walking styles, dog sizes, and terrains.
• Reflective Elements: Many models incorporate reflective stitching or materials for increased visibility and safety during low-light conditions.
• Durable Materials: Constructed from robust nylon or polyester webbing and strong metal components for longevity and security.
• Ideal for Active Owners: Perfect for runners, hikers, or anyone who enjoys active outdoor pursuits with their dog.

FAQs and Answers:

Q1: How do I properly fit and use the Trixie Waist Belt & Lead?
A1: First, adjust the waist belt to fit snugly and comfortably around your waist. Then, attach the lead's clip to your dog's harness (never just a collar, especially for active use). Ensure the lead's length is adjusted to give your dog enough freedom to move without tripping you, and that the bungee section is positioned to absorb shocks effectively.

Q2: Is this suitable for all dog sizes?
A2: Trixie offers various models of waist belts and leads, some of which are designed for specific dog sizes or weights. While the general design is versatile, it's crucial to check the product specifications for weight limits or recommended dog sizes to ensure it's appropriate for your particular dog.

Q3: Can I use this for dogs that pull a lot?
A3: The shock-absorbing lead is beneficial for dogs that tend to pull, as it helps to cushion the impact. However, for strong pullers, it's also recommended to combine this equipment with proper leash training to teach your dog to walk politely.

Q4: Is the lead detachable from the waist belt?
A4: In most Trixie Waist Belt & Lead sets, the lead is designed to be easily detachable from the waist belt, allowing you to use the lead separately or to remove it when not needed.

Q5: Is this product safe for running or cycling with my dog?
A5: Yes, this product is specifically designed for active pursuits like running, hiking, and can be adapted for hands-free dog walking. For cycling, ensure the lead length provides adequate safety distance from the bike, and that your dog is well-trained to run alongside a bicycle. Always prioritize your and your dog's safety.
