No leash? No problem!

Professional athletes are not working out with their dogs harnessed all the time. Variation is important. When running free, your dog builds strength and endurance differently. But how to keep control of your dog without a leash? We got some tips from Tom Andres, that is known for training an entire pack of dogs off-leash.

Canicross leashes for all needs

Bungee leash

A fully elastic line developed specifically for dog-powered sports. Available in two lengths. The best choice for big and strong dogs! Get yours here!

Touring bungee

A partly elastic line, ideal for smaller dogs and dogs that are not strong pullers. Available in a wide variety of widths and lengths. Get yours here!

Running with two dogs?

If your are running with two dogs you can try our Y-leash, or a two dog coupler that can be attached to any line.
