Today there are so many hand free leashes available, but not always with safety in mind. Balance is key, and getting pulled from the waist can be very dangerous. Let’s imagine a scenario where your dog spots a squirrel, cat or any animal that catches his or her attention, the unexpected pull could be very harmful and cause injury to your lower back. You may ask any chiropractor about a waist leash in comparison to a cross body, and they would confirm cross body is a safer bet. It would provide more balance for the dog owner in unexpected situations. Please see some of the pros and cons of the hands free leashes.

Waist Leashes: The Lowdown🚩

• Less Control: Imagine your dog spotting a squirrel. With a waist leash, be prepared to get your back out of balance, or possibly dragged, causing back injury.
• Trip Hazard: Get tangled, lose balance, maybe even fall. Not ideal for you or your pup.
• Limited Maneuverability: Turning corners? Or handle multiple dogs? You may end up doing some awkward spins and unbalanced walking. Nothing should ever be pulled on waist, it is very dangerous,.

Crossbody Leashes: The Safer Bet

• More Control: Keep your dog close with a simple hand adjustment.
• Stability: Less chance of getting yanked off balance, as the cross body cradles the full back and you can adjust the fit to your preference.
• Comfort: Distributes weight better, less strain on your back, keeping feet steady.

Bottom Line:  Our crossbody leash offers better control, stability, and overall safety. At Waggle your tail we pride in functionality and quality, that also offers the ability to walk multiple dogs at once. Patent pending.

Disclaimer: Always prioritize safety and choose the leash that best suits your dog’s behavior and your walking style.
