The right lead and collar make walks safer and more comfortable for you both. Here is what to look for.
Choosing a lead
A standard 1 to 1.2 metre lead is best for everyday walks near roads. Retractable leads give your dog more freedom in open spaces but should be locked short near traffic. Long training leads, like a 10m line, are great for recall practice, and a double ended lead lets you adjust the length or attach to a harness and collar at the same time.
Getting the collar fit right
A collar should be snug enough not to slip over your dog's head, but loose enough to fit two fingers underneath. Check the fit regularly, especially on growing puppies. Flat nylon and leather collars suit most dogs, while anti-pull collars can help with dogs who pull, alongside training.
ID tags are a legal requirement
In the UK, dogs in public places must wear a collar with an ID tag showing the owner's name and address, even if they are microchipped. Adding a phone number makes it easier for someone to reach you if your dog gets lost. Browse our ID tags and accessories.
Stay safe on dark walks
With shorter days, light-up collars, LED flashers and reflective leads help drivers, cyclists and other walkers see your dog. Clip a flasher onto the collar or choose a rechargeable flashing band, and wear something bright yourself. A reflective lead makes the lead itself visible too.
Leads and collars for puppies
Puppies need a lightweight lead and a soft, adjustable collar they can grow into. Let them get used to wearing the collar at home before their first walk, and keep early walks short and positive with plenty of training treats. Check the collar fit every week as they grow.
Collars with a job to do
Some collars do more than hold an ID tag. Calming collars from Adaptil and Beaphar release pheromones or calming scents for anxious dogs, and Seresto collars protect against fleas and ticks for several months. Find more in our calming care and flea and tick ranges.
