walking the dog

paddyw

Hi posted this on working forum so think this is the one it should be on .I am Learning.My tip is- when walking the dog put a collar around your wrist and clip your dog lead onto it, you can ajust the collar to wrist, leaving sore hands free but dog sercure ,you can still hold the lead.I find it good on bad hand days Happy walking Pat

Hi Paddy and welcome, sounds like a good tip. I don't have sore hands, but lots of other peeps on here do.

Hi paddy,

Have you tried a hunters lead, I have one for my pointer. I is basically a lead that allows you to adjust the hand loop size from normal to huge where you can place your head and arm through it and the starp sits across your chest and around your back. It is designed so hunters can have their dog under control while having both hands free for shooting. Ideal if you have sore hands.

Hi Pat,

I got iffy wrists, elbows and shoulders and i got this really good lead that has a bit of very strong elastic built into it so when the dog lunges 9i have to say when cus mine is part demented loom) it doesn't hurt so much. Its also long.... the elasticated bit as well as the lead and it does help absorb that horrible de-arming thing they can sometimes do.

he is thankfully good off the lead just demented on it and one like that might be an idea for you maybe?

I got this one cus 2 of mine decided to wishbone me. maybe i need better behaved dogs Cris x
