As a proud owners of larger dogs, we at SouthPaw Pet Supply know firsthand the struggle of walking a powerful pup that can easily pull and tug at the leash. That’s why we’re extremely excited to provide this one-of-a-kind, Ultimate Comfort Bungee Leash. The leash itself was designed by our owner, Bob – after many hours of walking Kota. Bob knew there had to be a better way to maintain control of his enthusiastic pup, but also provide comfort and peace of mind on their daily walks.
His ideas led the way to providing a revolutionary new way to make walking a larger dog more comfortable and secure. In this blog post, I’ll share with you the features of our SouthPaw Pet Supply Ultimate Comfort Bungee Leash and how it can make your walks with your larger dog more enjoyable. Plus, I’ll provide our top five tips for walking a larger dog to help you get the most out of your roadside adventures together.
A Perfect Balance Between Freedom and Control
The Ultimate Comfort Bungee Leash is a unique and innovative tool for dog owners who struggle with walking larger or even aggressive dogs. It is designed to be maintain control making it more comfortable and secure than traditional leashes, which can often cause discomfort and strain on the owner’s shoulder, wrist or hand.
The Ultimate Comfort Bungee Leash is extremely durable and made of strong nylon webbing with a built in bungee extension which is a stretchy cord that helps to absorb any sudden pulls or tugs from your dog, providing a more comfortable and secure grip on the leash while also giving you more control over your dog’s movements.
The Innovative Design is Pawsome!
The innovation of this specially designed leash is really what sets it apart from all the others. Need to buckle your four legged friend during a ride in the car? No problem, the innovative design has an attached car seat belt clip that makes your road trips safe! There’s also a “traffic handle” which is a second grip handle near the carabiner leash to collar attachment, that allows for quick, two-handed grip on the leash providing extra security if your dog decides to lunge.
Additionally, the Ultimate Comfort Bungee Leash comes with a padded T-Handle that provides extra cushioning and grip, which can be especially helpful for those who suffer from arthritis or other hand conditions.
Beyond Comfort and Security
The benefits of this bungee leash go beyond just comfort and security. With a larger and more powerful dog, as we mentioned above the traditional leash can often cause discomfort and strain on the owner’s body, leading to a lack of control over the dog’s movements. The Ultimate Comfort Bungee Leash, on the other hand, provides a more secure and comfortable grip, allowing for better control and less strain on the owner’s body. This can make walks with your larger dog more enjoyable and less stressful, creating a better bond between you and your pet. It truly does absorb the impact of an unexpected pull and provides the perfect balance between freedom and control.
Let’s not forget how important it is to be seen in low light. The bungee leash features reflective stitching on both sides to improve visibility making it a lot safer to use in the dark or in low light situations.
However, just having a bungee leash is not enough to make walks with your larger dog enjoyable. Here are our top five tips for walking a larger dog:
1. Use Positive Reinforcement: Positive reinforcement is an effective way to train your dog to walk calmly and comfortably on a leash. Reward your dog for good behavior, such as walking at a steady pace or responding to commands, with treats, praise, or affection. This will create a positive association with walking and help your dog to develop good habits.
2. Use Proper Equipment: Using proper equipment, such as the SouthPaw Pet Supply Ultimate Comfort Bungee Leash, can make a significant difference in your walking experience with your larger dog. Look for equipment that is sturdy and designed specifically for larger dogs to ensure maximum comfort and control. This will help you to feel more confident and in control while walking your pet.
3. Set Realistic Goals: Walking a larger dog can be a challenging task, so set realistic goals for yourself and your pet. Start with short walks and gradually increase the distance and duration as your dog becomes more comfortable and accustomed to walking on a leash. This will help to prevent overexertion and create a positive walking experience for both you and your dog.
4. Pay Attention to Your Dog’s Body Language: Dogs communicate through body language, so pay attention to your dog’s cues while out away from their home environment. If your dog seems uncomfortable or agitated, take a break or adjust your walking speed or route to accommodate your dog’s needs. This will help to prevent any negative experiences and keep your dog happy and comfortable while walking.
5. Stay Calm and Patient: Walking a larger dog can be stressful at times, but it’s important to stay calm and patient throughout the process. Dogs can sense when their owners are anxious or tense, which can make the walking experience more challenging. Stay relaxed and patient, and remember that walking with your dog is an opportunity to bond and strengthen your relationship. Make the walk an enjoyable and positive experience for both you and your dog, and take the time to appreciate the benefits of spending time outdoors together.
In addition to these tips, there are many other ways to make the most of your walks with your larger dog. For example, you can vary your route and explore new areas to keep things interesting for your pet. You can also try incorporating other activities into your walk, such as playing fetch or letting your dog socialize with other dogs at a local dog park. These activities can provide extra stimulation and help to keep your dog mentally and physically engaged.
Another tip is to use different walking techniques to help with training and obedience. For example, you can use a “heel” command to keep your dog close to your side while walking, or you can use a “stop” command to teach your dog to pause and wait for your signal before continuing. This is especially helpful at intersections or stop signs, training your dog to stop before entering the roadway. These techniques can help to create a sense of structure and control during walks, making it easier for you to manage your larger dog.
