Walking your dog: which leash for which situation?

Walking is a key part of your dog's day: it allows them to exercise, sniff, meet their fellow dogs, and strengthen their bond with you. But to make this moment truly enjoyable, it's essential to choose the right leash for you and your pet. Here's our guide to finding the perfect leash.

🚪 Why is choosing the right leash important?

A properly fitted leash ensures comfort, safety, and control. The wrong leash can make walking difficult, cause tension in the dog-owner relationship, and even be dangerous if it breaks or slips. Depending on the activity and location, the type of leash you choose will make all the difference.
