Why it matters

Carhartt designed this 6 ft leash for dogs still learning not to pull. A shock-absorbing section softens jolts, a neoprene-lined top handle cushions your hand and a lower handle gives close control. The trigger clasp is glove-friendly, an extra gated clip adds options, and duck-canvas-weave nylon with reflective stitching resists abrasion. One-year warranty.
