Leashes, Collars & Head Halters
Standard, hands-free, two-dog and retractable leashes, martingale collars and head halters, compared on use and safety.
A standard 4 to 6 ft leash gives the most control in towns and on sidewalks. Hands-free leashes suit running and hiking; retractable leashes give freedom in open spaces but less control near roads.
Martingale collars tighten a limited amount to stop a dog backing out, which helps sighthounds and dogs with narrow heads. Head halters steer the head to reduce pulling and need a gradual introduction.
What decides it
Control
Fixed-length leashes give the most control; retractables the least.
Running and hiking
Hands-free waist leashes with a bungee section reduce jolts.
Escape
Martingale collars help dogs that slip standard collars.
Pulling
Head halters and front-clip harnesses reduce pulling; introduce them gradually.
