I have went to petsmart and petco and neither of them sell a waist leash. I could order one off the internet, but figured I could see if anyone here has one they dont use anymore and would like to get rid of it. I would like to get one cheap untill i see if it will work or not before I order a new one. I need one other than "The Buddy System", as it uses a plastic snap that connects you to your dog, and Neo would break it the first time out. I had to switch from a collar that snaped with the plastic to a collar with a metal buckle because he always got themto come unsapped. If anyone can help, let me know!

I have been looking for one that is durable myself. Did you end up finding a nice brand that you like? Not sure which kind to get for my husky.

I actualy made my own. My bf is a police officer, and he bought me a duty belt that has a metal ring on it. I hook the leash to a heavy duty caribeener and hook the caribeener to one of the rings. Worked perfect for me!

What a great idea! Do you run with both your dogs at once? Or one at a time?

The lab stays at home, he's old fat and lazy. I just take neo, the husky. We havnt been since early spring because its been so hot, but hope we can start again soon. I would practice with two dogs in a controlled environment if you want to take them out together. Just to make sure they know what to do.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks Jill!

I'm not sure if civilians can order from where I got mine, ll check in q bit and give you a link so you can see what I use.

I recommend a skijor belt from Nordkyn.
(http://www.nordkyn.com)
I've been using it to run with Bodhi for the last couple of months.
It's great and he can't pull my arm out of its socket when he sees a rabbit anymore.

I know this is an old thread, but I had the same question last fall when I started to get a bit more serious with running with my pup (once she hit 1yr). I quickly got sick of holding the leash + water and looked into waist leashes. What I ended up getting was a RuffWear Roamer™ Leash (www.ruffwear.com). the adjustable size for the hand/waste clip is great if more than one person runs with them and the elastic core is great to apply enough tension for you and/or your dog to notice its getting too far from you (mine is trained that tension on leash = slow down/speed up depending if they are pulling or lagging behind)

I also have a nordykn belt. It's wonderful and I just use a carabiner to clip any leash to either of the rings on it. They are super durable
