DOESN'T INCLUDE SLING - ATTACHMENT ONLY
By attaching the Hands-Free Comfort Leash to the LifeHandle sling, you have the most comfortable way to walk, run, hike or simply hang out with your dog. Unlike other leashes, the Hands-Free Comfort Leash distributes the dog’s pull force across your core, instead of your shoulder or hip, all while keeping both hands free.
Need the sling too? Check out our Hands-Free Leash System. If you've already purchased a sling system like our Everyday Carry System, you can easily swap out the handle for the Hands-Free Comfort Leash through our patent-pending HUB technology.
HOW IT WORKS
The LifeHandle sling was designed to work with gravity, not against it. By distributing weight across your core and through various points on the sling, you'll feel like you're walking your dog on the moon.
A PERFECT FIT FOR ANY OUTDOOR ACTIVITY
The loop handle on the leash also serves as a shock absorber designed to handle around 25 pounds of pull force. That's just enough to help brace a small dog, while also standing up to the yank of a larger dog who just saw a squirrel.
WE KNOW HANDS-FREE ISN'T ALWAYS AN OPTION
That's why there are two thoughtfully placed loop handles - one nearest the sling, and one at the midway point of the leash. Unlike other leashes, there's no need to wrap the leash around your wrist or grab the dog by the collar in tight situations.
Leash FAQs
Hands-free leashes make me nervous - how is this one better?
First, the leash features not one but two thoughtfully-placed handles, which you can grab at anytime. In these situations, our system actually gives you more leverage than a conventional hand-held leash, as the sling activates your core and distributes pull force across a greater surface area.
Second, the leash is detachable. Our twist-lock mechanism allows you to easily remove the leash and use it like a conventional hand-held leash if you want. You still get all the great features like the shock-absorber, adjustable length, and reflectivity.
Lastly, every other hands-free leash is generally worn like a belt, which tethers you to your dog in a much more irrevocable way. Our sling is designed to easily slip off your body in the event you need it too, without having to rely on any kind of breakaway device.
Is this only for certain size dogs?
We don’t look at it that way, because our system simply extends your natural power. So if you can walk your dog with a regular leash, this is going to be a step up. No leash can replace training and your ability to control your dog, but as far as we know, no size or breed of dog can walk themselves yet :)
Why don't you sell a harness too?
There are plenty of harnesses out there, designed primarily with your dog's comfort in mind. But what about you?! We’re thinking about the humans here, which is why we've invested all of our R&D efforts into the sling and leash. But as we test more harnesses, we’ll likely find a modified design that works best with our leash, and you can sign up here for updates.
What about two dogs?
Here’s the thing - it’s all about what you can safely control, and the system is plenty adaptable. But first, we recommend using our leash for one dog, and a conventional hand-held leash for the other. We’re also working on a splitter to allow the system work seamlessly in this scenario, and you can sign up here for updates.
Has this been tested?
Aside from Bruin, our Chief Dog Officer who tips the scale at almost 100 lbs and has yet to chew through his first leash, we’ve also tested it extensively in a lab setting. In preliminary studies, we’ve found that our sling reduces stress on the body by 50%!
It’s also been fail-tested to optimize for realistic loads that a dog can put on a leash. A leash that will never break would be too heavy for most consumers, and furthermore, it would be a safety concern in the event your dog is involved in an accident. This is true of every hands-free leash on the market, but none of those other leashes can function equally well as a conventional hand-held leash when you need it to (see question #1).
What's your warranty policy?
We try to keep it simple. If you have any problems due to a material defect in manufacturing, we’ll immediately replace it at no cost to you (this hasn't happened yet).
If performance issues arise due to normal wear and tear, for example if your leash is compromised due to chewing, we offer a one-time replacement program for a flat fee of $25 plus shipping.
Wear and tear that doesn’t affect the performance of the leash is not covered, but we encourage you to reach out as we can often make repairs for a very small or no fee.
Size Guide
We recommend the regular size sling if you are under 6' 3" tall and have a chest size of less than 45 inches.
For all others (over 6' 3" tall or chest size of 45+ inches), we recommend purchasing the tall size.
If you have any additional questions about sizing, please contact us and we'll help you make the right selection.
