I bought this leash a couple of weeks ago and it has been amazing mostly due to the traffic handle. This additional handle allows me to control my 6 month old puppy better when we meet up with people.it is also great for crossing the road.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am using the KONG Hands-Free Dog Leash to do heal training with my dog. She is a big girl and quite strong so I was concerned that the leash might not hold up.
It took us a little bit to figure it out until she was comfortable with walking close to me without pulling but it was great training for the both of us.
The leash is very well made and very sturdy. The belt that goes around your waste is partially patted with neoprene and can be adjusted easily. The clip on and all other small parts are made out of metal which I love.
The leash is 6 feet long and also provides a traffic handle wich I am using if we walk by another dog or any kind of distraction.
I am very happy with this leash and I know we will get a lot of use out of it.

It’s okay good leash but I find the metal parts hurt my hand when my puppy pulls hard probably my fault though but it is strong I will say and slightly heavy

I like the lower handle grip, makes it easier to control my 90lb Rotty. Good, sturdy leash.

Third one purchased in last couple of months. Helps with the handle for training, but I find that the item frays by the king logo and then it snaps to two pieces??

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Given that dog accessories these days are not attractive, I had a difficult time locating a hands-free leash that looked nice. I chose this Kong brand since I am familiar with the name. I’m 5’9″ and my dog weighs 30 pounds, and the leash is a good length for me and my dog while we’re using it hands-free. We switch between using this and a shorter leash because it is too lengthy to be used as a standard leash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great leash for our new puppy. It is very durable and strong. I have had our dogs chew through the retractable leashes pretty quickly in the past, but I do not think that it will happen with this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for a reasonably strong, but not heavy leash for our 65lb Goldendoodle. She is a very good walker on any leash, but was still looking for something that would be easily removed and versatile with sizing. This handsfree KONG brand lease is perfect. Not too long, not too short. Grab handle close to her neck just in case. It easily snaps on and off with a quality metal buckle; and readjusts quickly when my younger daughter wants to walk her. Having this leash makes us feel like we have the freedom of off-leash walking, but the safety of a leash just in case! Definitely recommending this to others and purchasing another for our other rescue.
Kreeka (verified owner) –
I really like this leash due to the metal clasps and rings. The nylon is super durable even when my little ones want to chew on them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 Boston’s & love how comfortable & easy to use this leash is. You can adjust to fit small up to XL waist easily. Also when walking just one dog I can keep him on one specific side or walk in front of me . It also has a strap for more control.

This is working great for my new dog, my only complaint would be that it would be nice if the middle loop could be adjusted up or down. Apparently I have short arms!

This leash was great until it wasn’t! The metal clip broke in less then 4 months

I’m very happy w/it; I have a pit bull that is the sweetest but she is also the most hyped up pup I’ve ever had, I figured she would grow out of it but she is 7yrs old soon to be 8 she hasn’t grew out of it yet lol. I tried choke chain first then a regular harness neither worked on her pulling & yanking. Then I tried a harness that tightens up on her if she pulls that worked a little but w/this leash & the new front clip harness I got her works great she still has her moments of pulling but she doesn’t do it as badly & it seems I can control her better w/the leash & front clip harness.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gotnthis not knowing what exactly a hands free dog leash was, but needing a simple non-retractable leash. Upside, the leash is sturdy, with padding and a slot for your hand right by the collar. This is great when you are trying to train a strong willed dog and need to be right next to them. What I don’t fully understand is the hands free part. From the looks of it, you go around your waist like a belt. But it also has two trigger snap hooks, one on each side. Unsure why there’s on on each. I am also quite large around and this leaves almost nothing for my dog. I also have lower back problems and wearing this leash around my body feels like I am one aggressive tug away from doing some serious damage. As a regular leash, I like it and have used it. As a hands free, I will pass.

I bought this when I had my first dog; I now have four and have used It on all of them. It’s helped with their harsh pulling since all breeds I have are strong. (Great Dane, blue heeler, pitbull, huskie) The only time I ever had to replace it was because of a chewing issue.
Kimichangas (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This leash is awesome! If you’ve got pullers and tuggers and pups who just aren’t great on leashes I’d definitely recommend this one! Even if your dog chews through this leash, it’s gonna take them quite a while! It’s really strong and durable and the color is great 🙂 I’m very excited about this leash 🙂

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kong Hands Free Dog Leash, 6ft long is a really good leash for any size dog. It is sturdy and my dog can’t chew through it when he wants to get loose. I have found this to be the best leash that we have ever used because the material is super strong and sturdy.
RebeccaW2208 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a Kong product loyalist, and this hands-free leash is another home run for our fur-child. KONG is made to last through tough conditions: inclement weather, being left outside, being chewed on, pulled on, and more. The rope is super tough material- you can tell it is quality stuff just by the feel. The buckles and latch and connectors are heavy metal- I was literally surprised the first time I picked it up- the connectors were made to last. The padded loops and handle are soft and don’t pull your skin when tugged on. Safety and security and control when you need it most. Highly recommend.
KatePretz (verified owner) –
I love these leashes. They’re the only type we buy. My only request would be for KONG to add another handle in the middle of the leash.

My puppy is a powerful little guy, this Kong waist leash is great! I have the ability to switch to a handle if choose or keep him close by for training.
Kelyss2 (verified owner) –
I bought this leash due to it appearing to be sturdy. The main thing I take into consideration when purchasing a leash is safety, and this item looked like it would be strong enough to hold my dog. After a month daily use there has been multiple times where the clip has slid down, allowing the dog to come loose. The sad part is that KONG itself does not offer any sort of warranty or guarantee for its leashes. I am stuck with keeping a leash that is unsafe.
Jets dog mom (verified owner) –
This is my second one! Love the ability to use it as quick tie out and the soft traffic control.

My dog broke 2 of these leashes in the same spot. There is a weak point close to the traffic handle where it’s broken on both.

The two handle approach is very helpful and the neoprene is a nice addition.

I bought this a month ago and we are really enjoying our walks together. It stays in place around my waist, it a good length but the short hand is not something that i thought would make a difference but I was surprised and pleased at how handy it really is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I walk my dog at night and trying to keep his feisty self under control while holding a flashlight can be tricky. This hands-free dog leash saves the day! I am able to walk both him and me throughout the neighborhood safely.
Triley (verified owner) –
I bought this to replace a leash that had the clip option so that if I was outside I could put the leash easily around my lawn chair and keep my dog away from the fire ( outdoor firepit) so this was a great feature- my complaint about the feature in this particular brand is that the clasp is so heavy! it really weighs down the leash and if you happen to drop it – make sure no little heads are around! also the traffic control section of this leash is quite far down – so great for control but awkward for walking upright— overall good – but could be improved!
Jarrod k (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have yet to get a Kong toy, teat or accessory for my dogs that I was bot completely satisfied with. This leash is no exception. I recommend that if you are looking to get a leash you take a look at Kong leashes. The thickness of a leash doesn’t matter for a dog it’s all about the latch and the fit in your hands. Get a leash like this Kong that fits and is comfortable in your hand. The latch is what is keeping your dog safe and this Kong latch is sturdy and will nor break when your dog pulls on it.

This leash with the extra traffic handle works really well for close up control when walking our dog on a crowded street.
Rayroo (verified owner) –
I purchased this leash in order to be hands free with my dog on their walks and it is amazing! On our walks, I was always worried if my dog would see a person, or a dog and yank a normal leash from my hands and then run off. With this leash I don’t have any worries anymore. It definitely makes me feel more at ease on our walks! The only thing I wish you could change is the length of the leash to give my dog a greater range of freedom.
Jamilet (verified owner) –

The materials it is very durable and the stitching is very strong. The leash does its job well and is a good length for me and my dog. I use it both as handsfree and also as a regular leash. It also has an accessory ring to attach my keys which I find very handy. I recommend this hands free leash.

Bought a little over a week ago. Our dog is a chewer but hasn’t been able to make a dent in this one. Also feels really strong with metal clasps. No fear of this one breaking when out 100lb dog pulls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this with my 25lb beagle. She’s 11 but she is still wild and crazy when we go for a walk. This leash helps me keep her in control. I like the options for this leash. It’s not just a leash. You can use it to tie your dog if you are out and about and need something quick. You can use the smaller handle closer to the dog to guide them in tight places. The quality is great. Nice and sturdy. Well made.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 6ft leash is made with high quality material. I love the strong fabric, it’s thick and the color is green just like the picture. It’s easy to grip if my dog travels too far. My puppy usually like to chew on his leash but this leash is so sturdy he won’t ruin it. I can hook my keys onto to leash which is cool feature. I now can walk my dog in style because of this fabulous leash.

This leash ripped within 3 days of purchase and can no longer be used. Don’t waste your money!
plantymama (verified owner) –
I bought this for my new rescue. It is great when walking a dog that is still learning as you are able to use the second handle to make the leash shorter. The handles are padded and comfortable for the person. Do not leave this unattended if your dog is a chewer. My dog annihilated this leash in minutes. Completely shredded so definitely not chew resistant in anyway.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this King leash for convenience while walked my Large dog. Our dog, a shepherd mix, is probably 100 lbs, so I needed a very strong leash to help control him on walks. The hands free part of the leash is fantastic. If frees my hands up to work with my dog. I love the traffic handle also. It is wonderful that I able to hold that handle in case other animals, people, or vehicles get too close for comfort. All is all, I am very impressed with the quality of the leash & the strength of the entire leash. I would definitely recommend this leash to any & all dog parents.

I bought this leash not knowing it was a handsfree leash. It is nice and strong. I wish it didn’t have the middle loop. If there is another Kong leash without the middle loop I would get that.
taxit0m (verified owner) –
Great for my staffy mix who sometimes tugs, gets excited, and forgets how to act in public when overwhelmed by large groups of people/dogs. If your puppy chewed through this in any amount of time, let alone 10 minutes you either let them chew it up or used it as a tether, which displays irresponsible dog ownership using a 6 foot leash to tether an animal unsupervised. We refer to this as user error.

Bought this leash a few months ago and it works well. I didn’t realize how bad of quality it was until I tied my dog up to a bike post today and he managed to rip it and run away. He’s a cattle dog, not a crazy big dog. Thankfully someone noticed him off leash before I did and helped get him back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Kong 6ft hands-free dog leash is a perfect addition to make my runs with my miniature poodle easier. When you have an energetic dog, it is nice to have a leash that allows you to move comfortably but is sturdy as well. It is very durable and I appreciate that the waist belt is adjustable. Running is not a problem because my waist belt does not move or feel restricting. In addition to being very vibrant, the leash is also reflective.

I bought this hands free leash after seeing how well it worked for the Pet-Smart trainer working with my leash reactive dog. I like both having both hands free. I found that my current treat bag slipped onto the leash without need of a new treat bag! It is also great to clip onto her getting into and out of her harness when we get in/out of the car. I was concerned that she would pull me over or pull on her walks, but she does not.
Back Doctor (verified owner) –
Once we figured out how to adjust the buckle it seemed to work pretty good. Just make sure you know how strong/heavy your dog is. I can walk our 40lb Samoyed with no problem, but even I have to be paying attention. My wife and mother weigh just over 100lbs and they can be pulled down and dragged if something exciting happens. Our pup is still learning how to walk on a lead and gets excited by some noises. Be careful, be safe.
Deliriumtremons (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a professional dog trainer and I fell in love with this hands free leash. It’s perfect for teaching a heel with no pressure on the leash, which makes it easy to transfer to off leash work. The leash is sturdy and substantial without being heavy or bulky.

I bought this sturdy leash & matching collar after my 11month old lab-pit mix chewed through a harness & 2 retractable leashes within 5 wks. It provided control, confidence, comfort & most importantly, safety. I no longer dread going out for walks! I only with it came with more detailed instructions.

Was looking for a replacement for my 12-year old leash and this was exactly what I was looking for. I don’t understand any bad reviews. I mean, if your puppy could chew through this leash, then he could chew through anything if you let him. This is a very durable leash, and my favorite feature, which is harder to find on leashes these days is the “hands-free” part which allows you to adjust the loop around your waist or is perfect as a tie-up for the dog. Not inexpensive, but a great leash!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This KONG Hands-Free Dog Leash is made really well. It is strong & works well with my large dog. The fabric is strong & durable. The clasps & key rings are made of strong steel which is nice. The collar on this leash has some padding on it so it makes it more comfortable for my dog. She likes the extra length with 6 feet. When this leash is wrapped around me, it keeps her close, but still gives her, her own space to walk a little ahead of me if she wants to explore. I like the versatility of this leash. I can use it hands free, as a quick tie out, on a harness, & by hand. It has a handle near the collar for holding if she’s not keeping still at crosswalks, & sometimes if another dog approaches. This material is strong & it would take a lot for her to chew or tear it. I like this leash & the natural color is nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Anyone who walks dogs (owners&sitters) needs a really good hands-free leash in their collection. Kong is known for high quality dog goods and their hands free leash lives up to reputation. The adjustable length fabric is strong with well finished edges. The buckle and clasp are strong. A handle area is lined with soft and comfortable neoprene black fabric to create a comfortable hand grip without chafing skin while holding, or added cushioning if worn over shoulder or cross body style, or around the waist. One way it is especially helpful, even to those who think they don’t need a hands-free leash, is when you want to go a short distance in another direction (such as to toss a bag) and the dog doesn’t want to go, enabling the leash to be temporarily secured to a fixed object without pulling the dog along. The leash is true to color matching the website (not faded or washed out).

I will contact customer service to see if they will exchange the leash and will update review , Gob bless

When we adopted our rescue dog, Ruthie, 14 months ago, I bought a Kong leash. I liked the length, the “traffic handle” and the heavy duty material. I liked it so much a bought a second one for backup. These are both still in good shape despite Ruthie being a “puller” and enjoys playing tug with my husband. I ordered two more in case the original ones start to show wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my dog because he needed a longer leash and he’s a bigger dog so the cheap ones don’t work well. I was quite impressed with the quality of this leash. It’s thick and sturdy and has padding where you can use the opposite end for a collar or a handle. Makes it easy to go for long walks when needed and keep him secure.
