Dog Walking Belts Are Here To Stay. Take Note!

Some dog breeds can produce some very powerful specimens, especially working dogs such as huskies and malamutes. Some of these dogs can sometimes be particularly difficult to walk in the normal way simply because they have been bred to pull. Some non-working dogs can be a problem also.

Eventually this could have an effect on the handler's hands and wrists. Walking more than one dog at a time just amplifies the problem.

A dog walking belt fits around the waist line of the owner and the dog's leads are attached directly to it by a locking karabiner. This means that the dog walker is now hands free making handling much easier with no strain on the limbs.

That is one reason why so many sled dog owners in particular and other breed owners nowadays are using a belt as an aid.

Needless to say there are many different types out there so how do you determine which dog walking belt is right for you?

Well the very first thing you should be looking at is what material your dog walking belt has been manufactured from. Ideally it should be made from strong webbing with the part that goes around your waist made from Cordura, which covers a foam pad for the comfort of the wearer. This should be at least 4 inches wide to give appropriate support. There ought to be a secondary webbing on the outside of the belt that ought to be no less than 2 inches wide. A strong clip is also necessary to close the belt for complete security.

The best dog walking belts have got a bungee shock absorber to take up any strain the dogs may place onto it as they pull. This will benefit the dog and the owner.

Yet another use of a walking belt is for jogging with your dog. This can be great fun and the use of a belt makes the exercise a pleasure.

Belts are also used in the rising sport of cani-cross. This is when one runs competitively with a single dog attached. Obviously you need your arms totally free to run properly.

There are dedicated cani-cross belts available of course but many prefer the use of a dog walking belt with a fractionally longer lead attached because it can be used for both pursuits.

I highly recommend the use of a dog walking belt to everyone, whatever breed they own.

Once you have used one you will wonder how you ever managed before.
