Dog Walking Safety Tips: How the Right Harness and Leash Can Prevent Injury

Walking your dog is more than just a way to get them some exercise every day. It's also a way to bond with them and affect their behavior, confidence, and health in general.  But using the wrong tools can cause injuries like neck strain or accidents where people escape.  Kindopet makes harnesses and leashes that are comfortable to wear so that you can have safe, fun walks.

 1. Don't use regular collars on dogs that pull a lot.

 Collars can put stress on the trachea.  A harness spreads out the pressure on the chest, which lowers the risk of injury.

 2. Use a harness that is safe and can be adjusted.

 A harness that fits well keeps the animal from getting away and gives you more control.

 3. Pick a leash that won't slip

 A good leash should be easy to hold and made of strong materials.

 4. Walk in areas with few cars and people.

 Pick quieter places to walk to lower your risks.

 5. Add reflective gear for walks at night

 Kindopet harnesses have straps that reflect light so you can see them.

 6. Teach Your Dog How to Walk Right

 For better behavior, use good equipment and train regularly.
