A lead spring

You may have notice from the assorted photographs of Charlie recently that he has been trying out a new gadget.

Dog Lead Shock Absorber

Mum and dad spotted the device online and thought it might be worth a try.

The device consists of a spring within a spring which attaches to the end on the lead between the lead and the collar.

When Charlie pulls at the end of his stretchy string the spring takes up the jolt and mums hands don’t get that judder.

Charlie has been trying it for a few weeks now and it seems to be of great value and works really well.

Mum had lost track of how many times she had dropped the lead when Charlie was at full stretch running around.

It is no solution to a badly trained Charlie, but is is helpful when out for a long walk  or to reduce the tension on the extendable leads when they get to the end of travel.

Two sizes are available depending on the breed of dog.

A simple solution to a problem many dog owners have when out walking their pooches.
