Small dogs are just as full of life and hungry for adventure as any other doggie. They just need the right leash. Arctic Sammy’s small dog leashes will get you prepared for your next trip.
Are you and your pint-sized pup both eager to do some exploring? Arctic Sammy’s small dog leashes are specially designed to keep your dog safe and comfortable on your next outing, large or small.
Whether it’s a multi-day hiking trek or just a stroll through the local park, small dog leashes give you total control and keep your best friend safe in the big, wide world. They’re the perfect dog accessories for smaller breeds such as dachshunds, French bulldogs, Pomeranians, poodles and other littler (but no less curious and excitable) dogs.
Leashes are important tools for training and are easy to attach to your dog’s collar for a spur-of-the-moment adventure as well. But as always, there are certain things you have to consider when choosing a lead for your dog, like the material it’s made from and the conditions in which you’ll use it.
Arctic Sammy’s small dog leashes are the kind of outdoor dog products it pays to invest in. In this article, we’ll show you why these short leads are so handy for you and your best friend.
Benefits of small dog leashes
Whether you’re training your dog, taking him on his daily walk or exploring one of New Zealand’s dog-friendly trails or national parks, here are some reasons small dog leashes are great:
Control
A shorter leash keeps your dog closer to you while you walk or train him, making it harder for him to break away from you and dart towards danger. This is especially useful in crowded areas and if your dog is easily excited and prone to taking off on the spur of the moment. This proximity can also help you feel closer to your dog and strengthen the bond between the pair of you.
Great for kids
Small leashes also make it easier for children to keep control of your dog and stop him from running away.
Compact and convenient
Small leashes are easy to use, easy to travel with and easy to put away due to the lack of space they take up.
Training and behaviour management
Keeping your dog closer to you can help you better train him to follow commands and behave in public.
Places you can go with a small dog leash
From the city to the wilderness, New Zealand has an abundant amount of places that you and your small dog can go for a day trip, a weekend getaway or a long trip into a secluded camping trail. Some locations you can venture to with your small dog leash include:
The city
A short leash helps you keep your dog safe while dealing with crowded footpaths and crossing busy intersections.
Pet-friendly stores
In dog-friendly cafes and shops, and other environments that welcome dogs, a short leash keeps your best friend close by your side while letting you enjoy your leisure time.
Dog-friendly parks
While you’ll find plenty of parks that allow dogs, some will require keeping your pet on a lead and under control. A short lead lets you both enjoy the serene beauty of NZ’s many parks and green spaces.
Dog training classes
Short leads are so good for keeping pups under control, some training instructors prefer them.
Beaches and boardwalks
Beaches and boardwalks are beautiful scenic spots for adventurous dogs to explore. But when you need to take control, a short leash can quickly stop your dog from approaching other people or animals.
Hiking trails
A short leash can stop your dog from going off the beaten path or disturbing wildlife. This is particularly handy in environments with narrow or crowded trails.
