A standard 6-foot leash is all any pet needs while on walks.
More than 6-feet between handler and pet allows for potential lunging, accidents, and ingestion of unknown debris, resulting in physical harm of the pet and/or the handler. For this reason, we discourage the use of longer training leashes and decline retractable leashes for use on walks.
We ask all TWP clients to provide a standard 6-foot leash for The Wag Pack care providers. Exclusive use of standard leashes not only prevents injury and accidents but also serves as a courtesy to our team. When walking dogs professionally, improper equipment can create chronic pain and fatigue, which affects our physical wellbeing and compromises our livelihood.
