What length dog leash is best for my dog?

The length of a dog leash is very personal . It's about what you and your dog like. But dog schools also have certain height requirements if you train with them. Ask your own dog school about this.

Almost any length is possible from 1 meter to 25 meters.

  • Hunting lines are often chosen in a shorter length such as 1.2m or 1.5m
  • Regular dog leashes are usually chosen to be 1.8m
  • Adjustable, also known as hands-free, belts are most commonly sold from 2.5 m. From 2.5 you can easily walk hands-free.
  • Long lines are usually chosen 10m or 12m

If you like your dog to have a lot of sniffing space, choose a longer length.

What width dog leash is suitable for my dog?

The NOOFF® BioThane belts and/or in combination with greased leather are available in 3 different widths:

  • 1.3cm - suitable for dogs 4-8kg
  • 1.6cm - suitable for dogs 7-20kg
  • 1.9cm - suitable for dogs 17-65kg

For each leash we ask for both the breed and weight of your dog. This way we can check if you have chosen the right width. The wider the leash, the heavier the leash becomes.

Not every type of leash is suitable for all widths. With every NOOFF® dog leash you can see which widths are available.

When ordering a leash, please state the dog breed and weight. We will take into account that the carabiner weight fits your dog and is therefore not too heavy or too light.

Are you getting or do you have a puppy?

The right size dog leash for your puppy depends on whether it is a small or (medium) large breed dog. A leash that is too heavy is not good for your puppy's neck.

  • Small dogs, such as a Dachshund puppy, require a lighter leash than a Labrador, Vizsla or Australian Shepherd puppy

Which leash fits your puppy best?

  • For a (Standard) Dachshund or Border Terrier puppy you can choose a width size of 1.6cm

  • For larger dogs such as Labrador, Vizsla or Australian Shephard, it is best to choose a 1.6cm wide leash. But take a lightweight carabiner closure instead of a snap. This leash can be used the longest because a carabiner is very strong but light in weight.

  • When you order a leash, please mention that you have or will have a puppy. We will take into account that the carabiner weight fits your puppy and is therefore not too heavy or too light.

Please note: if you order a specific puppy leash, you may need a heavier leash as your dog gets older, also for safety reasons.
