Frequently Asked Questions
How does a bungee lead reduce the impact of pulling?
The elasticated bungee section stretches when your dog pulls or lunges suddenly. Instead of transmitting the full force directly to your hand, the bungee absorbs and disperses the impact — making walks more comfortable for both you and your dog, and reducing the risk of shoulder or arm strain for the owner.
Is it suitable for large, strong dogs?
Bungee leads are particularly popular with owners of large dogs — Labradors, German Shepherds, Huskies, and Staffies — who pull with significant force. The shock-absorbing section prevents the sudden jarring jolt that standard fixed leads deliver when a big dog lunges. Always select the weight-appropriate size.
Will it make pulling worse?
No — the bungee lead reduces discomfort for the handler but does not reward or encourage pulling. If you're actively training your dog's lead manners, continue your training programme — the bungee lead simply makes the process more comfortable while training is ongoing.
Can I use it for running or canicross?
Yes — bungee leads are popular with runners and canicross participants because the shock-absorbing section smooths out the rhythm when a dog surges ahead or changes pace. If running, attach to a suitable running harness rather than a collar.
Is it safe for puppies?
Yes — choose a size appropriate for your puppy's current weight and check fit as they grow. A lead rated for a much larger dog will be stiffer and less effective for a small puppy.
