Frequently Asked Questions
Product
Is there a weight limit, and can it support multiple dogs?
This leash has been engineered, strength tested and certified for all sized dogs weighing anywhere from 5 to 100 pounds. This leash can also support multiple dogs, as long as the total weight of the dogs does not exceed 100 pounds.
What makes this different from a regular leash?
It’s a first-of-its-kind, multi-purpose system: hands-free crossbody control, a built-in mobility hoist, a universal seat-belt clip for car rides, reflective materials for nighttime or early morning walks, and a smart pouch—five functions in one.
How does the hands-free part work?
You wear it crossbody so your torso—not your wrist or shoulder—does the work. There are control loops on the lead when you want hands-on control.
Can it help an older or mobility-limited dog?
Yes. The integrated hoist lets you bend your knees, lock it, and offload a significant portion of your dog’s weight while you walk (up to ~80% when used as described). The hoist feature must be used with a harness, not a collar. Using with a collar could choke and/or hurt your dog.
Is it car-safe?
The crossbody clip doubles as a seat-belt connector. Unclip from yourself and click into the vehicle’s buckle to secure your dog for the ride.
Do I need a harness?
You will need a harness for the hoist and seat belt features. Both features are designed to attach to a harness, not a collar..
