Loading... Please wait...If you know what it's like to be pulled around the park or down the street because your dog has been gifted with a colorful personality combined with a lot energy, you want a hands free leash with some back bone. You won't believe the difference it will make on a walk with your dog! The hands free leash has been designed to help you maintain control when you are walking or running with your dog. The dog is positioned close to you walking beside or behind you. The leash makes it easy to mangage a dog that has a tendancy to pull or act up during the walk.

LEASH
The hands free leash has been designed with the flexibility to be worn comfortably around your hips or your waist. If you are having trouble with your dog pulling, position the O ring at your tailbone, and adjust the leash length so your dog is walking beside or behind you. By practising in your yard or house first, your dog picks up on this new way of walking quickly and easily.

Hi, I purchased your hands free leash today at the Pet Expo in beautiful Victoria, and while the theory behind it seemed sound I was still a bit skeptical. Well, after fidgeting with the buckles til I had the right fit for my hips and Kaeli's collar I gave it the first test. I took her out to her enclosed dogrun which is about 40X35ft, and began to walk "the grid". Initially she balked, then tried the "Ninja jump" complete with a lovely rotational spin, and I nearly lost my balance............nearly! I managed to recoup, and carried on with the training excercises I have been working on. It took about 3 minutes and it was like she just "got it" and began to walk where she should be. Not one to believe all miracles are attainable with this dog, I am beginning to think perhaps this is the answer to my prayers! After 10 more minutes outside, I took her in the house and began the same stuff as we had been doing outside.... walk forward... and when I stop she sits on my left flank and waits for the "let's go" to move forward again., I can't believe how easy this was, I hope that with continued practise I will feel confident enough to start taking her out in the 'hood again and not have to worry about her pulling my shoulder apart anymore. Thanks so much!!!!

I took Kaeli ( she's a pit/sharpei ) to Petsmart late this afternoon for our usual "visit", and I put the Jac Trac on her there to see how she'd react with all the other dogs and hubub. She is NOT a patient girl, and tried to go off and wander but of course she couldn't, and after 15 minutes of fighting with me and pulling in all directions she finally just gave up! I know this is going to take some time to finesse, as my lower back is a bit sore from it all, but with daily persistence I think this may just be the ticket. I'll keep you posted on our progress :)

Its the best thing I have bought since getting our puppy in October, and trust me, I have literally spent $1000+ on just toys/collars/leashes etc...
With a regular leash, being pulled downwards all the time by a not-yet-fully-trained 70lb puppy, sends me to the chiropractor a lot so if anything the Jac Trac is saving me money! Not to mention it stops you from looking like a complete idiot when your dog all of a sudden sees a squirrel!

I needed a hands free leash for running with my dog. I looked at many brands and Jac Trac was the only one I found that was designed to have the lead behind you, thus placing the dog in the perfect position to the side of you. The hemp material seems durable and feels and looks great. I loved all the color choices and my green Jac Trac leash looks fabulous against my dog's red coat. In my opinion, this is a perfect product. Jac Trac just needs to advertise/market themselves more in the US because it took me awhile to find them.

I love my hands free leash! I started with walks to get my dog and I used to wearing it. He quickly adapted! I can have my dog walk behind me or at the side of me and I can adjust the leash to fit my hips and to extend to the length I need for the size of my dog. Its comfortable and easy to use. Now I can walk with and keep my hands free for handholding and coffee. Now that my dog is used to it, I bring him along on all my runs, keeping my arms and hands free and exercising us both at the same time. A great product, well thought out and well made.
