Which leash is best suited for puppies?
Finding the right leash for your puppy is an important step in puppy training. Narrow, size-adjustable leashes are ideal for young dogs, as they are particularly light and comfortable to hold. The narrow width of puppy leashes reduces the weight your young four-legged friend has to carry – perfectly suited to little rascals who are not yet so strong. Attached to a dog harness, they protect your puppy's sensitive neck area – ideal for those first exciting trips full of joyful discovery!
How long should a puppy leash be?
The perfect length of a dog leash for puppies depends on where and how you are walking:
● Short leashes (approx. 1–2 m): The classic choice for puppies – ideal for walks in the city and intensive training to keep your dog close to you.
● Medium-length leashes (approx. 3–5 m): Perfect for training and extra freedom of movement.
● Puppy drag leash (approx. 5–10 m): Great for recall training and free-running exercises.
Tip: With an adjustable leash, you can flexibly switch between close guidance and more freedom for sniffing and exploring.
Buying a dog leash for puppies: What should you consider?
The material should be robust, weather-resistant and easy to clean so that it can withstand your puppy's sharp teeth. Leashes made of leather, biothane or soft nylon are particularly popular because they are lightweight, comfortable to hold and available in a wide range of colours. There is something for every taste!
In general, several factors play an important role in choosing a leash:
● Length: Depends on the use (e.g. training or walking).
● Adjustability: Practical for more flexibility or for slinging over the shoulder.
● Hand strap: For a better grip and comfortable, secure handling.
● Carabiner: High-quality carabiners ensure a secure connection between the leash and the collar or harness.
● Safety: Reflective elements on the leash ensure optimal visibility in low light conditions. Check the leash regularly for major damage to be on the safe side.
● Material: Consider the weight and different load capacities (e.g. leather, synthetic leather, nylon, polyester, rope, neoprene, biothane).
Frequently asked questions about puppy leashes (FAQ)
These are the questions dog owners ask – we have the answers!
It is best to start training your puppy to walk on a leash as soon as it is 8 weeks old. The earlier it gets used to it, the more relaxed your walks will be later on.
Many dog owners initially use a leash in combination with a dog harness for the first few walks. This protects the pressure-sensitive neck area.
Clean the HUNTER puppy leash according to the respective care instructions. Leather leashes are very robust, they can be wiped with a damp cloth and only need special care products every few months to stay supple. Nylon dog leashes, for example, are very easy to care for: you can brush them with a soft brush and simply clean them with water if necessary.
