Best dog leads for whizzing around the block or slow weekend rambles

mirror.co.uk:

Considering you walk your dog at least once a day, it's important to have a comfortable lead that's also strong and durable.

The best dog leashes will be easy-to-use while also providing good control and safety levels. If you prefer your dog to walk at heel, a rope lead will do the trick nicely.

But if you like to give some freedom for exploring - and so you don't have to stop every single time they do - a flexi lead is a good idea.

Most leads come in different sizes to suit your dog, and there's usually a variety of colours and styles to choose from. Whether you're looking for a lead for quick trips around the block or need a longer lead for inquisitive furry friends to roam free, we've rounded up the best dog leashes below.
