Word on the Street

Because of the soft, round leather, it is easy to use them with 2 or 3 dogs at a time and still feel in control. So many leashes are too long or can cause discomfort if the dog pulls or is still learning because of the material or size. Of course the best part is that it is so versatile and can easily be converted to help free up hands while out and about.

Hands down, City Leash is the best leash I’ve had. While perfect for walking, it’s best to use is restaurant patios and where I can easily tethering him to a table without having to contend with the extra length of a standard leash.

"Susan helped our pup conquer potty training in a townhome before he could figure out the stairs. Each lesson was very educational for both us and our pup, and our pup absolutely loved the training and Susan."
