Hands free leach
We run our dog 4 plus miles everyday and this leach system has worked great for us. Even when she see a rabbit and wants to chase it, there is a very slight tug that will not throw you off balance. We love having our hands free.

Well-made and Useful for Running
We bought this leash to use when jogging with our German Shepherd. First off, let me say that the leash doesn't do the training for you - if your dog can't walk/run at your side on a LOOSE leash without pulling ahead, this hands-free leash is probably not going to work for you. We've worked hard on our dog's leash manners and so transitioning to the hands-free leash was pretty straightforward, though we still had to be careful vigilant to avoid problems with her dashing after squirrels or veering towards approaching dogs at first. We (and she) have got the hang of it now, and never go on a run without it!The OllyDog leash appears to be very well made and should last a long time. I love the stretchy section, which makes it more forgiving when your dog has to scoot out around a puddle or stops fast to pee (which ours has a tendency to do mid-run). The belt fits as snugly as you want it to and stays in place nicely.I also really like the short handle, which is a comfortable height for me to hold while walking along if I need to keep her close.

I'm never using any other leash again.
I love this leash. I took my lab on a run yesterday and she did great. I wore the leash around my waist and my dog who likes to pull pulled a little but responded very well to my body cues. Better than she ever did on a normal leash. If we are running and she stops to pee (she does this alot), the shock absorption of the leash prevents me from dislocating my shoulder as I kept going accidentally. In closer traffic areas where I need her to be close by my side and listen to actual vocal commands the short handle attachment is great and the perfect lenght for us. A great leash. I can't wait to try it our on hiking trails and camping trips this summer

Exactly what I was looking for.
This leash is exactly what I was looking for. I use it for running and hiking. The shock absorber does help but with a strong dog you still get pulled on. On one hike my Aussie was very eager and I likened the pulling to having a nice lumbar support - just be careful going downhill!

Good
Works great, seems well made and durable. My dog stays close so it is a little on the long side, but I will fix that. Great product
