Collar/leash: collars, leashes and harnesses
This page brings together dog collars and leashes, as well as harnesses, for walking your companion in the city, in the woods, or around the stable. Adjustable flat collars, short leashes, training long lines, and no-pull harnesses cater to every size and temperament, from the puppy discovering the leash to the large dog that pulls.
Walk your dog safely and comfortably.
Flat collar, slip collar or harness: which to choose
The choice mainly depends on how the dog walks on a lead. The flat collar, made of nylon, leather or biothane, is suitable for a calm dog and holds the tag engraved with the owner's contact details. The slip collar, or martingale, tightens slightly when the dog pulls back, without choking it: it is appreciated for greyhounds, whose head is narrower than their neck. The harness shifts the pulling pressure to the chest: it protects the trachea of small breeds and dogs with short muzzles, like bulldogs or pugs, that find it harder to breathe.

Short lead, long line or retractable: what to use
The short lead, between one and one and a half meters, keeps the dog at leg height on the pavements and near horses. The adjustable lead, equipped with several rings, can shift from a close heel to a more comfortable length in the countryside. The long line, from five to fifteen meters, allows for freedom while securing recall training. The retractable lead is reserved for already trained dogs: its constant tension teaches them to pull, and its thin cord can burn fingers if it unwinds suddenly. A sturdy snap hook, mounted on a swivel, prevents the lead from tangling.
Walking on a lead: what the regulations say
In France, dogs of first and second categories must be kept on a lead by an adult and wear a muzzle in public spaces and on transport. To protect wildlife in spring, it is forbidden to walk an unleashed dog in woods and forests, outside of forest paths, from 15 April to 30 June. Many municipalities also impose leads in parks and city centers. For outings at dusk, a reflective collar or lead, even a light-up one, signals the dog to motorists and cyclists.

Frequently asked questions
How to measure a dog's neck circumference?
Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the neck, where the collar will sit, then add about two fingers of slack. The chosen collar should display this neck size at mid-adjustment to allow for tightening or loosening.
Leather or nylon collar: which material to choose?
Nylon, lightweight and washable, is suitable for puppies and dogs that swim. Leather, more durable, softens over time but is sensitive to water; biothane, coated and waterproof, combines the durability of leather with the easy maintenance of nylon.
Is an anti-pull harness effective?
Its attachment ring located on the chest turns the dog towards its owner as soon as it pulls, breaking its momentum. It helps a lot during leash training but does not replace the need for education.
At what age should a puppy wear a collar?
From the moment it arrives home, around two months old, it should wear a lightweight collar for a few minutes, gradually increasing the time. Then, it should be accustomed to the lead in a calm place, with rewards, before the first real walks.
What size harness to get for your dog?
Measure the girth around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs, and compare it with the manufacturer’s guide. A well-fitted harness allows for two fingers under each strap and does not rub under the armpits.
