UPPETLY Hands Free Dog Running Leash with Adjustable Waist Belt, Dual Handle Elastic Bungees Retractable Rope for Medium and Large Dogs, Reflective Stitches for Walking Hiking Biking (Large, 25-120lb)

So I bought this after the style went viral and am so glad that I did. I've waited to write the review because I wanted to test out the durability & user friendliness before reviewing. Easy to adjust at the waist: both myself & my son can use this. He's 6ft & 250lbs, I'm 5 ft 5 and 130 lbs. Definitely adjustable & comfortable for both of us. Elasticity: Great - no issues with being stretched out. Even when being used on a very energetic Huskey, it's retained it's elasticity. Metal Clip: strong & good quality. Shows no signs of weakening or coming off. Handle: not used very much, but is comfortable and doesn't leave leash burn on your hands. Easy to grip and hold. Color: Blue is bright & shows no signs of fading. Even after being used at the beach and in the water, it's retained it's color. I highly recommend this leash. It's easy to use, looks good, and will work will just about any size dog. Being able to walk hands-free is great. I had no idea what I was missing!

I really like this leash for biking with the dogs (70 lbs). It’s surprisingly receptive around the waist to feel where my dog is and if she slowed down or if I need to adjust the leash at all while we ride. She lurched for a squirrel the other day and the bungee did it’s thing allowing me to brake a little and correct her course. One of my dogs likes to be as far away as the leash will allow (I’m convinced she is part cat) and this leash is long enough for her to feel comfortable while the handles let me pull her in to share the sidewalk when we pass people. All of these good things apply to walks as well with the bungee action being really helpful if they lurch for something small and fuzzy; the little give allows me to reach for a handle and correct their behavior back to walking without them pulling at my balance. The only negative so far that I can see is the weight of the leash; when running any slack can develop a bounce that I could see some people not liking. And to be fair I’m not sure about durability because it’s under a month of use...but so far so good.

I typically need to wear a belt ("thanks" to the stretchy material used these days in clothing), so assumed the "waist belt" would be a substitute and serve two purposes. I also thought that just wearing the waist belt without putting it through belt loops would not offer enough protection to my stomach plus would enable the leash to swing around my waist based on the dog's walking or running position. ["The dog" may sound impersonal, but he is my brother's, not mine!] I intended from the time I received the item to use it as a substitute "belt". I soon found out that most of my pants do not have wide enough belt loops to accommodate the "waist belt", which requires about 2" belt loops to fit. The pants with loops wide enough definitely work to keep the waist belt in place as well as offer stronger resistance and protection if/when the dog pulls (which he does). The "bungee" aspect also helps a great deal - the dog (a Huskimo) usually stops pulling when he feels the initial pressure before it "gives". If he doesn't stop immediately, the bungee part saves me from being pulled over (falling). The "grab" handles are quite useful for bringing the dog closer for whatever reason(s). I found the "adjustable" belt size difficult to figure out and it took a while to make the adjustments before I got it to the right length. Initially, it was so small that I started to think it was just another "undersized Chinese product" that I would not be able to use. As far as it being adjustable to up to 50", I'd seriously question that. I adjusted mine to almost the maximum length to get it to fit my 32" waist. (Perhaps Chinese inches are smaller!?) Since there are well-spaced multiple metal hooks to attach the leash to the belt, at least two can be used simultaneously for added strength and protection in case one were to loosen or break (due to the strength of the dog's pull). This also helps ensure the belt does not rotate (and the belt loops do not rip) when pulled too hard. Some reviewers have pointed out that the metal rings break or separate, but I have not had any problem thus far with the technique I use. If you have a strong dog who pulls on the leash, you might want to try my technique! (Good luck finding pants with wide enough belt loops!) Although the description states there is reflective material in the leash, I have walked the dog numerous times after dark and never noticed ANYTHING. If it is there, it sure is hard to see! Overall, the hands-free leash is a GOOD idea and I got it to work well by not relying on using it as just a "waist belt" - putting it through belt LOOPS is essential, in my opinion. I did not buy the waist belt attachment. It didn't seem necessary because the leash was already hands-free. So, the $12.99 price for the waist belt and leash was reasonable. The quality is better than I expected.

I use this with my golden retrievers and it is amazing to know have to hold anything in my hands. I absolutely love this and recommend it to any pet parent! I promise you will fall in love with it

First of all, if you are worried about the quality of this product based on how inexpensive it is, do not be! I honestly was thinking that I would end up returning this if it didn't look like it would hold up to our two large dogs (a St.Bernard and Australian Shepherd), but was pleasantly surprised upon opening it. The leash itself is made of a thick and durable material and the bungees in the leash are tightly coiled and really do help with absorbing some of the impact when our dogs pull. The leash also has a couple of handles as well to give you somewhere to grab if you need to shorten the lead at all. The belt is simple, but has a couple of different attachment points for leashes. I am very impressed with this product and look forward to continuing to use it daily! Secondly, the customer service from this seller is absolutely fantastic. I emailed with a question about other products and not only received a prompt response, but she went above and beyond what I expected and really did help me a ton! I am very impressed by the quality of service that I received. I highly recommend this product and this seller.

Great leash for my dog. Very easy to use. Fits around my waste well, and I love that it has two handles.

I've been using this leash for about a month now. It's now my go to leash. Like some other reviewers mentioned I do see the paint coming off at the friction points, but that seems typical when the manufacturer goes for style over longevity. But right now it's not an issue. The brand label sewn on has started to come undone, but the overall leash and its stitching seems to be holding up. My canine friend & I usually go for a 2 mile a day run. Sometime more. Now he just turned 1, & when he sees a squirrel he gets excited, or anything that moves peculiarly. So there is some pull. The elastic in the leash does seem to help with that. I tried to used a standard leash and quickly realized how much better it was for me to have his pull at my waist than my arm. When you're running/jogging you want to have full movement of your upper body as you maintain your stride, & a standard leash in hand doesn't offer that. There was an incident were the two off us are running on a sidewalk and I've tripped. The relief was in knowing that my dog wasn't able to run into traffic because he was tethered to my waist. As opposed to me holding a leash in hand that I probably would have lost grip of in that situation. The grips feel good in my hand, & I like the reflective bits in the waist band. I like how the pressure is taken off the plastic buckle, & put onto metal hoops. I don't think it's the most comfortable thing to have directly on your skin. So I usually am able to wear it over a shirt or something. Fortunately my dog has gotten a lot better with chewing on his leashes. With the extra handles built into the leash my hand won't get pinched with his pull, & I can easily use this without the belt. From Oct. 2021 through June 2022 we've been using this leash. Both running & bicycle. For the most part my friend veers inward when passing an obstacle that might snare the leash, but every now and then. A tree or street pole. Because of this I had to replace some of the metal hooks (spring snap hook) with carabineers. The load bearing kind. The fit snuggly into to the old loops, but they serve their purpose.

I have another please like this. I like this one better because it has multiple connection points on the waistband. This leash is also longer than the one I have and has the ability to be shortened in two different places. So this leash has more flexibility options. I can now walk my dogs with one waistb and two different leashes connected. Also I can have one leash be longer than the other if I want. This lease also has two bungees on it versus one on the other. Since this leash has a double shock absorber, it is easier on my dog's choker if he pulls on it. I could do it all over again I would buy two of these. This is an awesome hands free leash system.

Well made and strong. Comfortable around the waist and I really love the extra "hand" space. Great product!

Great leash for my 80 lb dog

The fabric portions of the leash and blet are well constructed, however the plastic belt buckle and metal rings on the leash are not strong enough for a 60lb dog. On my second walk with my 60lb Lab, she was able to pull and shatter the belt buckle as well as bend open the rings on the metal clasps which led to her getting free. Fortunatly this happened in doors and she could not get far, but be aware that this product is NOT SUITABLE for large dogs. I am going to keep using the leash and belt after I replace all the metal and plastic hardware with solid metal peices without gaps she can bend open or shatter.

La laisse est très belle, elle est arrivée très rapidement. Mais elle a brisée dès la 2e journée. J'ai un labrador très curieux qui tire beaucoup et une des poignées a lâché. N'est donc pas pour un usage difficile. Aucuns problèmes de retour jusqu'à maintenant.

Première utilisation et déjà brisée. La couture qui retient l’anneau à brisé a la première tension.
