3 of The Most Commonly Used Dog Leashes & Their Functions

July 28, 2020 By erica

Leashes and leads are essential for any dog owner. They allow you to safely take your dog for walks and are a great way to uniquely accessorize your dog. There are many types of leashes and leads out there for you to browse. Three of the most commonly used leashes include nylon leashes, retractable leashes, and leather leashes. Some of these leashes have many cons, while others prove to be the perfect leash. 

1. Nylon Leashes 

Out of all of the types of leashes, these leashes and leads are typically the first choice for many due to the low price and easy-to-clean material. Nylon leashes come in a variety of sizes and lengths and are durable against all kinds of weather. However, nylon can be incredibly hard on the hands. If a dog on a nylon leash were to suddenly pull on the leash, the owner could experience leash burn. The bigger the leash, the worse the burn will be. Most big dog owners will quickly learn that their larger nylon leashes hurt more than help. These dog leashes and leads are also incredibly easy for a dog to chew through If you only use a leash for quick trips and walks, these are an affordable option.

2. Retractable Leashes 

Owners buy retractable leashes for a variety of reasons. For one, they feel that these types of dog leashes will give them more control over their dog. They also might like that the leash gives the dog more freedom to wander. This leash, however, has many downsides. Because your dog can pull against retractable dog leashes, they will become used to pulling on a leash. If you switch your dog to a normal leash, you will quickly realize that they’ve been trained to pull on a leash in order to move forward. This leash can also cause injuries to you and your dog. The thin line can wrap around your (or other’s) legs. If snapped against the skin, this line can prove to be very painful. If you lose grip of the bulky handle of the leash, it could whip into your dog and cause an injury. 

3. Leather Leashes 

Considered to be the best among all of the types of leashes and leads, leather leashes have many benefits. For one, these leashes will last you for years due to the leather material. These leashes are also very easy to grip, even when wet. Sweaty summer days or wet rainy days are no match for leather leashes. Leather leashes are much stronger than nylon leashes, meaning it will be harder for your dog to chew through them. Poorly made leather leashes will crack easily and are hard to clean. With companies like Woofwerks, your leash will prove to be highly durable. Leather leashes are a great accessory to any dog owner and their pup. They look luxurious and will continue to look so for many years.
