Best Dog Training Leashes of 2025

"I love this Slip Lead. It's not a traditional leash; there's no clip on the end, which is perfect for training. I work at a doggy daycare, and it helps me move dogs easily. It's durable, comes in various colors, and has held up well after daily use for over a month!"

"I'm thrilled with this sturdy leash! It works beautifully for my re-homed puppy, who needed leash training. The difference in her behavior was immediate. I feel more control, and she hasn't broken free, which gives me peace of mind."

"I bought this for my terrier mix, and it's been fantastic for leash training. So easy to slip on and off! The color is eye-catching, and while it's great, I wish it lasted longer, as it seems to need replacing sooner than expected."

"I love this leash! The standard length is perfect, and the extra handle makes it easy to pull my dog close when needed. I just wish that handle was a bit lower, but overall, it does the job well."

"I purchased this leash for my 86 lb GSD, and it's fantastic! The traffic loop is placed perfectly, ensuring comfort when heeling. The quality is impressive, so I ordered another for my other dog!"

"This leash is outstanding! The two-tiered handles allow me to keep my dog close when necessary, and they are cushioned for comfort. It makes the process of shortening the leash quick and easy. A great buy!"

"I stumbled upon the Halti training lead when we became puppy owners over five years ago. It was the perfect training lead then and is still my favorite leash. We use it for everything, even bought extras for each car. The soft yet strong material and clips at both ends make it incredibly versatile. A must-have for any dog owner!"

"As a first-time buyer, I rescued a hyper German Shepherd with zero leash skills. After watching the instructional video and following the steps for the Halti, it worked wonders! It took about a week for her to wear it comfortably, and now she walks so easily. This halti has really saved me from being pulled around. I would rate it 10/10 and absolutely buy it again!"

"I love the convertible feature of these leashes. I purchased two, one red and one black. While my red leash holds up well, the black one started fraying immediately. I appreciate the thickness and soft fabric, but I wish the fabric was a bit stronger. Though the red one is still usable, I’m hesitant to buy another black one."

"As a first-time dog mom, I find this leash perfect for our beach outings and park strolls. It gives enough length for my pup to explore while I maintain control!"

"I'm thrilled with this recall leash! It's sturdy and well-made, and I appreciate the secure locking closure. The extra length allows my dog to sniff around while feeling more free."

"After trying several leashes, I must say this one is the best we've had. It’s slightly heavy but perfect for medium to large dogs. The safety feature on the clasps prevents accidental openings."

"I bought this for my larger dog who enjoys running during walks. It was perfect at the park; he was thrilled to run freely while still on a leash. I ended up purchasing two and plan to buy more for my family. Absolutely worth it!"

"I borrowed this check cord during hunting training because my previous one caused rope burns. I was so impressed that I ordered one right away. It doesn’t tangle easily and is easy to handle, making it perfect for fieldwork!"

"I got this leash for my puppy training. The 15 feet length is just right for allowing freedom while teaching boundaries. It’s lightweight and doesn’t absorb water, making it great for pool use too. We are very pleased with it!"

"I recently got the 30ft length leash, and it's been a game-changer for our training sessions. The sturdy construction is evident, and it holds up well during various activities with my dog. I love the comfortable grip, which makes extended use much easier on my hands. It's a versatile tool that has improved our outdoor play significantly."

"I purchased the 30ft Hi Kiss leash for my dog's recall training, and I'm really impressed. It gives him enough space to explore while still keeping him under control. The durable nylon material is reliable, and I appreciate that it doesn't tangle easily. The padded handle makes it comfortable for longer use, and overall, it has exceeded my expectations."

"I bought the 20ft leash for my Siberian Husky, and it has been great for our daily walks. I call them our 'Wandering Sniffaganzas' because she gets to explore at her own pace. The length is perfect for giving her freedom while still allowing me to maintain control. After using this leash, she comes back more relaxed and tired compared to regular walks."

"I've been using this leash for my Shiba Inu who pulls a lot. It's made walk time much more enjoyable. It fits perfectly behind his ears, and I barely have to exert any effort. I recommend it for anyone struggling with a strong dog!"

"This lead is just what I needed. It allows me to keep the lead under my dog's chin for effective training. The padded handle is a lifesaver, especially when my dog gets distracted. I'm thrilled with this option at such a good price!"

"I bought this leash for my golden retriever, and it matches her collar perfectly! It's well made and sturdy, providing excellent grip. I think it's a great choice for large dogs and is priced well."

"During our camping trips, I found the 30ft leash to be perfect for giving my dog some freedom while still keeping control. It allows my dog to explore without wandering too far, and the strong yet lightweight nylon makes it easy to handle. The secure clip and durability against outdoor elements make it a must-have!"

"I initially liked the leash and found it effective, but I wouldn't recommend it for a dog you need to control closely—it feels a bit flimsy. However, I use it for my dog in an unfenced yard, and it works well for that purpose, though I did notice some color fraying after a few weeks outside."

"I've been using this leash for a while now and appreciate that it's well stitched and holds up well. However, I have to mention that the edges can be quite sharp, making it uncomfortable to grip. Despite that, it has been a valuable tool while training my new puppy."

"I adopted a dog from the shelter who was labeled as feral. To my surprise, she loved people and was very smart, making her a great family pet. However, she was strong and pulled on the leash. After trying this leash with the nose loop feature, the pulling immediately stopped. Now we can enjoy relaxed walks together!"

"I have a 7-year-old rescue who's a bit of a handful on walks. Using this leash in the gentle leader configuration has significantly reduced her pulling and lunging. It's not the longest leash, but it works perfectly for me."

"This slip lead is well-made and sturdier than typical options. It's perfect for my 7-month-old pup in training as it goes on quickly and works effectively. However, I noticed that the flex in the leash can sometimes make minor corrections a bit tricky."

"I bought these for a recent camping trip, and they worked perfectly for my two dogs! They’re easy to link together to double the length, and I appreciate the reflectivity of the lines. They’re durable and a nicer appearance than the wire cables I used before. Definitely worth getting and I would purchase again."

"I purchased the 30FT long leash and it met my expectations. It’s durable and gives a little as described, which I like. However, since it’s very long, it does get tangled up sometimes, so I need to find a system to manage that. The orange color is great, and the large loop handle is a fantastic feature for tying it up securely."

"I bought this long line to train my dog, Koda, for his recall and to give him a bit more freedom while tethered. The leash is highly reflective and very visible. I tested it in the backyard, and it held up well. However, I learned that it’s important to have excellent recall with my dog, as he can generate a lot of pull."
