We just got a third Basset Hound so I needed another leash and carabiner; excellent and durable construction!
Jeff, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you and all three of your Basset Hound pups are enjoying your new gear. Thank you so much again.
I’m so glad I found this leash! I’m now set up to walk both my dogs hands free.
I can walk while birdwatching and feel confident they are safe by my side.
Kelly, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and both your pups are enjoying your walks and birdwatching. Thank you again!
I have bought these piece-by-piece and now have a Runner's Choice, SideKick, and an extra belt because I was tired of my kid adjusting the size on my belt.
I regularly run and walk with 2 medium sized dogs in an urban environment. The SideKick is a good length for that and the Runner's Choice gives me the option to keep them in that close or give one of them a little bit more space to run when we have more room.
Kathleen, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're really glad to hear that you and your pups are enjoying both versions of your new gear. Thank you again!
Love the belt and the leash. High quality products that last! Well worth it.
Susan, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're super grateful to hear that you are enjoying your new gear. Thank you again!
Cannot overstate the importance of US made products these days. The quality shows, too.
The length is perfect - most people will be sharing the path/sidewalk/road with other people and cars and this helps keep your doggo from weaving or crossing too far out of your lane.
Matthew, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your new gear. Thank you so much again.
Hands down the best running leash I have ever had!
Rebecca, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're really glad to hear that you are enjoying your new gear. Thank you again and Happy New Year!
I was a little skeptical about how comfortable I'd be going hands-free while running with my pup. I quickly gained confidence when I let go of the leash and it wouldn’t fall around my feet and trip me up.
Plenty of grab points to pull her close if a car or another dog is coming up. The bungee actually relieves some of the jerkiness of a regular leash when she tugs or lunges to chase something.
I think it was more enjoyable for both of us. I hope they make a harness next!
Joseph, Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your new gear and appreciate the design. Thank you so much again. Happy New Year!
I have a 150 lb. Great Dane that is a menace to society on leash walks. The IRON DOGGY waist leash has done wonders for teaching both my Great Dane and Chihuahua/terrier mix how to walk appropriately at my side rather than dragging me on a 6 ft lead. Thank you for producing this miracle product!!
Kristie, Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and both of your beautiful pups are enjoying your new gear. Thank you so much again. Happy New Year!
The Runners Choice is excellent. We use this with a 50 kg German Shepherd that attacks other dogs without warning. If we use a regular lead my wife is either pulled over or has to let go. Other Hands-free leads don’t work well because they effortlessly fully extend. You can clip the Iron Doggy to 3 different lengths and there is just the right tension on the bungee to keep the dog under control and reduce the jerk when the dog makes a sudden charge.
Iron Doggy is the best and by far!
Daniel, Thank you (Danke!) for your feedback all the way from the Netherlands. We're glad to hear that you and your beautiful German Shepherd are enjoying your new gear. Thank you again. Gelukkig nieuwjaar (Happy New Year)!
My dog and I have been running together for over a year now, and her other leash with a metal clip had come off one too many times. I switched to this leash and am very happy I did! It's shorter than most leashes, which allows me to keep her close when running in urban spaces, but still gives us enough space so we're not tripping over one another. And the belt has a very secure clip, so I don't worry about it coming off. I was concerned about wearing out the bungee (my dog is a strong puller for the first few minutes of every run, she's so excited!), and the addition of the hand loops lets me keep her in line during that phase. I would highly recommend this leash to every human-dog running duo!
Sara, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're so happy to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your runs with your new (SideKick) gear. Thank you again. Happy New Year!
This is my second one. The first one lasted through two dogs, four marathons, and miles and miles of walks! Now I have a new puppy and ordered a new leash to celebrate!
Martha, Thank you for your feedback. Congratulations on your four marathons! We're glad to hear that you and your new puppy are enjoying your new gear. Thank you again. Happy New Year!
Was gifted this leash for Christmas to start running with my 8 month old husky who likes to pull. Has enough stretch to minimize pulling on my waist. Also really like the easy to grab handles.
Travis, Thank you for your feedback. We're really happy to hear that you're both enjoying your runs. We hope you and your husky continue to enjoy your new gear! Thank you so much again.
We have one for each of our pups and they love them. We had a little issue with one and had to make an exchange. The service was amazing. I can’t say enough good things about the leash and the company. Thank you all for a great product!
Kelly, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that your experience went well. We hope you and your pups enjoy your new gear! Thank you so much again.
My daughter lives in Alaska and adopted a mala-mutt -120 lb malamute/husky/lab mix. He is a sweetheart but strong! They both enjoy outdoor adventures. We sent her the leash as a gift after reading the reviews. The leash is perfect. It does what a leash is supposed to do, and is sturdy enough to hold things together when the dog unexpectedly lunges (squirrel!, porcupine, another dog friend).
Kathy, Thank you for your feedback. We're really glad to hear that your daughter and her malamute mix are enjoying their new gear! Thank you so much again.
I did a lot of research before settling on this hands-free dog leash for my heavy pulling German Shepherd. She has responded well to using the leash and I love it. The belt is nice and long so I can wear it over my heavy parka in winter (I live in Canada) and the leash works well with our training regimen. Thanks Iron Doggy!
Lauren, Thank you for your feedback (and for doing your research). We're so glad to hear that you and your beautiful German Shepherd are enjoying your new gear, and that it works well with your training regimen! Thank you so much again.
I’m a hard core runner and was running during puppy naps, so I could have my Own time and keep my pace, until days got busy and I had to take the puppy with me. Good thing I researched and found Iron Doggy! My pup is a cattle mix (of 6 mos) and the “SideKick” Harness is what I use with her. I love the fit, the freedom, and the security!
I mean from the fit of the running belt to the quality of the leash, the smoothness of how the SideKick functions, I freaking love your product. It’s made our runs so much more enjoyable because I’m an avid runner and it’s been hard with her biting or pulling at the leash prior to Iron Doggy.
Thanks y’all from Montara, Cali!

Jeff, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're super happy to hear that you and your cattle mix pup are enjoying your new gear! Thank you so much again.
Love this leash. It’s great for my dog who loves to doodle, walk, & run!
Debra, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and your dog are enjoying your new gear! Thank you again.
Would really recommend.
Thomas, Thank you for your feedback. We're really glad to hear that you are enjoying your new gear! Thank you again.
Love the leash -- finally something that has enabled me to run with my dog regularly. Also very much appreciate the responsiveness of the company -- my pup broke the buckle on the belt three days after it arrived, and they had a replacement in the mail the next day!
Chris, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're really glad to hear that you and your dog are able to run regularly again! We're always here for you (and your pup). Thank you again.
Not a runner, just a casual walker but this leash gives me freedom and control! Purchased a second one for my daughters pup.
Cristy, Thank you for your feedback. We're super happy to hear that you and your pup are enjoying your new gear! Thank you so much again.
We got this as a Christmas present for our two Golden Doodle puppies, so far this is their favorite leash for our walks. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase. Thanks for a great quality product.
Mitch, Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad to hear that you and your two Golden Doodles are enjoying your new gear together! Thank you so much again.
I was just looking for a hands free leash for walking, I tried a few others but they were awkward, bulky, and not as well built. This is sleek and adaptable. I love it. My dog doesn't constantly pull, but he's a 65 lbs lab mix and when he sees a rabbit he just about yanks my arm off with a regular leash. Now I feel more in control of his outbursts. I initially shied away based on the price, but I think its a worthwhile investment.
Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you and your Lab mix are enjoying your new gear together (and you're not getting yanked anymore)! Thank you again.
I ordered this leash before my Rhodesian Ridgeback was old enough to start running next to me, but now I've started training him in running with the leash. The build quality is really excellent and it is really easy to use. The small handles are perfect for extra control/communication, especially when teaching him how to run with the leash. Very nice service and communication from Iron Doggy (Andrew).
Highly recommended from Sweden!
Dennis, Thank you for your feedback (all the way from Sweden)! We're glad to hear that you and your Rhodesian Ridgeback are enjoying your new gear as you're training to run together. Thank you so much again!
Greatest leash ever! My Dutch Shepherd not only runs with me, he's also a service dog. This leash does everything I need it to. The bungie's are perfect for the run (even service dogs get excited about squirrels) and the multiple hand grips are awesome when we're going into establishments. Wouldn't have any other leash.
Randall, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're very happy to hear that you and your beautiful Dutch Shepherd are enjoying your new gear. Sounds likes he's a wonderful service dog. Thank you so much again!
My dogs and I are so happy with our new belt!!! Thanks a lot for shipping to Switzerland! 👍👍👍
Elena, Thank you so much for your feedback (all the way from Switzerland)! We're super happy to hear that you and your pups are enjoying your new gear. Thank you (Danke) again!
