There is a huge amount of dog leashes currently on the market. If we wanted to, we would be able to write an article about each model; there are a ton! It is hard to classify each type of dog leash and some even overlap. However, we have tried our best to define the different kinds of leashes in the table below:
Traditional dog leash: These leashes are plain and simple; they do not have any extra functions. They are a great option if you are a minimalist and prefer simple items that get the job done. You should choose the material based on the type of dog you have and its personality. You will need stronger material is your dog is hyperactive.
Extendable dog leash: This type of leash is an excellent option when you want to give your furry friend more room to roam around. Your dog will be able to explore, but you will still be in control. There is a brake system that you can press if your dog starts to get too far away.
Multi-position dog leash: This type of leash is very versatile and you can use it in many different ways. You can let your dog roam, or keep it by your side. This dog leash is an excellent option if you want to do exercise alongside your dog and keep an eye on it.
Training dog leash: This type of dog leash is shorter and stronger than the others on this list. They are perfect to help you train your dog to walk right by you. If you are going to use this type with a big dog, we recommend that you purchase a training dog leash made of nylon. On the other hand, if you are going to use it with a puppy, you should probably buy one made of metal, especially if it is still teething. This way, the young pup will not be able to bite through the leash.
