Barkswell Hands Free Dog Lead - Running Lead with Waist Belt and Bungee Cord

I have joint issues ,particularly in my shoulders and hands and I struggle with traditional leads . This product has enabled me to walk my dog ,who pulls , for the first time in 12 months . I haven't walked him without being in pain .The two hand holds are very effective and even the bungee aspect allows you to hold it securely if needed .My dog wore a harness and really seemed to pull less , having my hands free to pick up his mess is another positive . The storage/zip part on belt is larger than appears and I could fit a samsung s24 fe in and poop bags with no problem .The belt itself is comfortable and has lots of extension to it .This product has given me back that freedom to walk my dog again ,independently. Thank you !Would highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Love this product for pushing the pram. I mostly use a baby carrier for dog walks but definitely feel more confident with the pushchair now I've got this. I was sceptical as my dog is bad for lead pulling, but this worked so well. It's just the right length and he hardly pulled at all - I think because he's got my body weight to contend with(!) Rather than just my arm strength. Really easy to twist the belt around to swap which side he is walking on too. And even has a pocket for keeping keys/poo bags in. Definitely recommend for this purpose. Greay quality - glad I went for this one rather than a cheaper alternative.

I bought this to walk my cat while I am on crutches. I've found it really comfortable and practical, my only gripe - someone else mentioned this as well - is that the lead is a little short as it is and although it's elasticated, it's a bit stiff for my cat to pull it out longer. He's used to being walked on an extendable lead (a big one we used to use for our collie, as he's quite strong) meaning he can wander off a little further at will. He's been really pulling on this trying to go a little faster than I can at the moment. I can imagine it would be great for dog walking.

Yet to use but it fits well and is of a robust pleasing quality. A very good buy at 20 quid

Amazing products and the most kind, incredible customer service! We’ve used the belts and leads to run with 3 dogs and to take them hiking, and they have great durability and design! Would highly recommend.

This is a great hands free walking and running lead to use with a dog.The belt is fully adjustable with a clip closure, (I have approx 26 - 28" waist and it is easy to adjust to the right size) two different placed D rings to attach the bungee leash (although I tend to just slide the belt around my waist whilst running should I need to change the side that my dogs on) and a zipped pouch with two compartments (fits my Samsung s9 nicely with poop bags in the other pocket) which can be adjusted to sit anywhere on the belt.The bungee is a great length for running on pavements (I was worried at first it would be too long and my dog could easily run into the road) but it's long enough for him to run just in front or nicely to the side of me. The grab handle is great for crossing roads and I'm also confident in just holding the bunjee lead should I need to guide him or have a little more control for a short period of time.The 'bounce' of the bungee lead is still quite stiff but may get softer with more use, it just allows me those few precious moments to come to a stop when he decides he needs to wee up another bush for the 100th time.For reference, I'm 5ft5 (ish) with a 25kg border collie and overall I'm really, really happy with the quality and convenience of this belt

The belt is comfortable to wear and the pocket feature is good for a phone, poo bags and treats. I bought this for a young collie as we walk through a lot of sheep fields, so this let's me walk hands-free and take photos easily. After a year of regular use the plastic belt clips have snapped and left a sharp bit that catches on hands and clothes. The bunjee part of the lead has lost its elasticity completely, not from the dog pulling, but more from climbing over stiles and maybe because I don't dry it out between uses. I have used this for about 18 months and it needs replacing now.

Good quality and sturdy. Reasonably priced and works well
