Collars, Harnesses & Leads

Equipping your furry friend for walks and adventures requires more than just a leash and a quick clip. Collars, harnesses, and leads each play a crucial role in keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and under control during your outings.

A well-fitting collar is essential for displaying your dog's identification tags, including their name, rabies vaccination tag, and your contact information. This ensures your pup can be safely returned if they ever get lost. Collars can also be used to attach medical alert tags for dogs with allergies or other conditions. Collars come in a wide range of styles and materials, from classic leather to brightly coloured nylon. Choose one that suits your dog's personality and comfort level.

Harnesses can offer more control and distribute pressure more evenly than collars, making them ideal for training leash manners or for dogs with breathing difficulties. The Trixie Premium Touring Harness is available in a wide variety of colours and sizes to suit all dogs and owners, with matching leads available for fashion conscious pooches.

Harnesses are a great choice for active dogs who enjoy pulling during walks, hikes, or jogs. The added security and control prevent strain on their necks and trachea. They can be helpful for dogs recovering from injuries or surgeries, providing support and minimizing pressure on sensitive areas like the neck.

Leads come in various lengths, from short traffic leads for crowded areas to long training leads for giving your dog more freedom in controlled environments. Choose a length that suits your walking style and training goals.

Leads are available in different materials like nylon, leather, or retractable styles. Consider your dog's size, strength, and chewing habits when selecting a material that's both durable and comfortable to hold. Look for leads with strong clips that attach securely to your dog's collar or harness. Reflective materials on the lead can be an added safety feature for night time walks.

A selection of headcollars are available which can help reduce pulling on the lead using gentle pressure around the nose or along the back of the head, from brands such as Halti, Canny Collar and Gentle Leader.

The best collar, harness, and lead combination depends on your dog's individual needs. Consider their breed, size, activity level, and any specific training requirements. Remember, a comfortable and secure fit is paramount for enjoyable walks and a happy pup.

With the right collar, harness, and lead in place, you and your dog can embark on countless adventures, exploring the world safely and comfortably together.
