Our dog is our best friend, so it is normal that we want him to be with us at all times. If we want to make long journeys, we have the option of the carrier, while if we are going to travel by car it is important to take into account the regulations of the DGT, but today we are going to focus on the type of straps that we can use depending on what situation we are in. let’s find.
Thus, we spoke with the owners of several dogs in order to find the strap that best suits your furry and you.

We start with several alternatives for the walks we take close to home when we don’t have special needs. Pepa López, editor of Trendencias and mother of Dobby (a beautiful Border Collie mestizo), comments that she uses “a normal short leash, with foam rubber handle to avoid hurting our hands“.
He recommends a chain that we found on Amazon for less than 20 euros and specifies that he does not use the necklace that is included. The leash in question has three different collar sizes (S, M and L), it has a total length of 150 cm and is available in black, blue and red.

Leashes to teach him to go loose safely
We continue with Pepa’s experience. The editor explains that “to teach him how to go loose safely, we use a 10 meter Decathlon leashso that he can get away and in case he does too much to be able to grab him by the leash”.
For 9.99 euros there is a design “specially designed for people who want to walk their dog on a leash allowing them freedom”, according to the sports giant.

Straps to run together
If you’re runner and you want your dog and you to be second to none, we have a good option. Patricia Sánchez Agenjo, coordinator of El Stream and mother of the adorable Mac (who has an Instagram that she falls in love with) tells us about her experience with the straps of running.
“We bought the running because it was on sale in a store. Normally, they cost about 25 euros and they had it for 10. At first it was very good, although we used it without the belt part, since the part of the fanny pack is a little small to carry the mobile. The part with which you hold was very comfortable for me, because being flat you can roll it up very well in your handin case you want to take the dog in short”.
To this, he adds that “what I liked least is that the rubber at the bottom gives of itself and stops making a spring effect. In the end, I stopped using it.” So we are facing a not very positive experience, but from which we can learn a lot.
On the other hand, Pepa López is delighted with a strap for sports that “has a little pocket and it’s special because the elastic is in the strap, so if Dobby slams on the brakes he doesn’t jerk his back“.
Running strap. 18.99 euros on Amazon.

Leashes to teach him not to pull
María Yuste, editor of Trendencias, has lived with Mordisco (a beautiful water dog) for not long, so they have had to learn to walk correctly together. Yuste comments that “for a time I took him with easy walk so that he would learn not to shoot”.
This type of straps usually bet on a harness that is comfortable for the dog and prevents choking and retching. Various models are available on Amazon that fit small dogs (such as the Westie) or larger breeds (such as the German Shepherd), depending on each case.
