Why Choose Bushdog
Questions About Our Dog Leashes
What makes Bushdog leashes different from regular dog leashes?
Bushdog dog leashes are built for both rugged bush trails and busy city streets. We use heavy-duty, weather-resistant materials that stand up to mud, rain, and rough terrain, while staying comfortable in your hand. Each design is tested by real Aussie dogs to ensure it handles pulling, sudden stops, and long-distance walks without fraying or failing.
Are your leashes suitable for working dogs?
Yes. Our leashes are designed with working dogs in mind — whether they’re herding on a farm, patrolling, or accompanying you on a long day outdoors. The reinforced stitching, secure hardware, and comfortable grip mean you can rely on them for both control and freedom of movement in demanding environments.
Will your leashes work for training purposes?
Absolutely. Our dog leashes come in lengths and styles suitable for training sessions, whether you’re teaching recall, leash manners, or off-lead transitions. The strong hardware and reliable grip give you consistent control, and the materials are tough enough to withstand repeated training drills. Although we do not provide more advanced leashes (stuff like slip leashes), we're sure from our own experience that our products will satisfy 99% of dog owners!
Do you offer different leash lengths?
We will be offering both short and long leash options to suit different situations. Short leashes are great for close control during urban walks or training, while longer leashes provide more freedom for trail walking or exploring open spaces. All lengths are made from the same durable materials for strength, comfort, and consistency.
Are Bushdog leashes comfortable to hold?
Yes. Every Bushdog leash is designed for comfort as well as strength. The handles are shaped to reduce hand fatigue, even during long walks, and the materials are chosen to prevent rubbing or slipping in wet conditions.
Are the leashes safe for night walks?
Our leashes are designed to be simple, strong, and reliable without unnecessary gimmicks. While the leash itself is built for all-day use, we do offer complementary products — such as collars and harnesses with reflective or illuminated features — that pair perfectly for safer walks in low-light situations. Sometimes the best gear keeps things straightforward and dependable.
Can I use the same leash for two dogs?
We are working on leash designs that can handle two dogs at once without tangling, perfect for owners with multiple companions. These will feature strong split leads and hardware that can take the weight and pull of more than one dog.
How do I choose the right leash for my dog?
Consider where and how you walk your dog most often. If you stick to footpaths or need close control, a short leash is best. If you’re exploring the bush or giving your dog more room to roam, a longer leash will be better. Weight, handle comfort, and any snag potential (long leashes can be hard in deep rough) are also worth factoring in.
