Dog leashes

Double Handle Dog Leashes

Two padded handles on one lead: the loop at your end, a traffic grip a few inches above the clip for road crossings, vets and lifts. Rated by GEIT for dogs from small to large.

The second handle

A traffic grip, not a shorter lead

The lower loop sits a few inches above the clip. Grab it and the dog is beside your knee; let go and you are back at full length. Nothing gets shortened, wrapped or tied off, which is the part people underestimate until they have used one.

Walking a dog that pulls

Same hardware underneath

It is the rope leash plus one loop

Same anodised frog clip, same swivel, same reflective thread stitched through both faces. If the traffic handle is not going to earn its keep, the single handle version costs less and does the rest identically.

What is in this section

Double Handle Dog Leash

Same frog clip as the standard rope leash, with a second padded handle sewn in close to the clip. That short handle is the reason to buy this one. Grab it and your dog is at your knee in an instant, without shortening the whole leash or wrapping it around your fist.

You are paying for the second handle. Everything else is the standard rope leash.

How to pick a size

This is your section if

  • The dog outweighs your grip on a bad day.
  • Your walk crosses roads, or ends in a vet waiting room or a lift.
  • You are training loose lead walking and need the dog close on demand.

Probably not, if

  • The dog already walks on a slack lead and always has.
  • You mostly walk off-lead and clip on at the car park.
