At HOUND, we design dog gear that evolves with your day. Our Crossbody Leash is built for beauty, performance, and unmatched versatility. Whether you're out for a quick potty break, a long afternoon walk, or juggling a pup with a coffee in hand, this leash does more than just keep up—it adapts.
Thanks to the strategic placement of multiple D-rings, a central O-ring, and dual solid brass snap hooks, our leash easily transforms into a variety of functional setups. No need for multiple leads—this is the only one you’ll need.
Five Ways to Use the Crossbody Leash
1. Classic 6' Leash
For a standard, go-to leash setup, attach the short side (point end) snap hook to your dog’s collar or harness. Then, take the long side’s snap hook and clip it to the D-ring on that same side, forming a loop that acts as your handle. This configuration creates a 6-foot leash—ideal for relaxed, everyday walks when you want to give your dog a bit more freedom while still maintaining control.
2. Traditional 4' Leash
Simply attach the snap hook on the long side to the D-ring located closest to the other snap hook (our point end). This creates a 4-foot leash, ideal for city walking, training sessions, or crowded environments where a shorter lead gives you better control and closer contact with your pup.
3. Crossbody Hands-Free
Walk in style and comfort with our crossbody configuration. Clip the longer side's snap hook to the central O-ring, allowing you to wear the leash over your shoulder and across your body. Then, clip the point side snap hook to your dog’s collar or harness—keeping them close, but with just the right amount of room to roam. This setup offers a hands-free walk, letting you sip your coffee, push a stroller, or answer texts while staying connected to your pup with ease.
4. 4' Leash with Traffic Handle
This is the go-to for added control in high-traffic areas. Attach the shorter side’s snap hook to the O-ring, creating your main handle. Then, clip the longer side’s snap hook to your dog’s harness or collar. To create an additional point of control, attach the D-ring on the longer side to the same snap hook on the dog, forming a loop right at your dog’s back. This built-in traffic handle near the dog’s body allows for quick, close-range grip—ideal for navigating busy sidewalks, vet visits, or training moments when you need immediate proximity.
5. Two-Dog Walking
Walking two dogs at once? Our Crossbody Leash makes it effortless. Simply attach one snap hook to one dog’s collar or harness, and the other snap hook to your other dog’s collar or harness. You can then find a comfortable central holding point—or hold it anywhere along the leash that gives each pup the room they need. This setup naturally allows one dog to move slightly ahead or behind, making for a smoother, more intuitive walking experience with just one lead in hand. It’s a tangle-free, streamlined solution—especially when you're out solo with two pups in tow.
Designed for Real Life
Each leash is handcrafted with durable, waterproof material and finished with solid brass hardware that won’t rust or tarnish. It’s made to withstand all weather, all terrain, and all kinds of dogs. But most importantly—it’s made with your lifestyle in mind.
The thoughtful placement of D-rings and O-ring isn’t just for show. It’s what gives this leash its edge: adaptability, custom fit, and elevated ease. Whether you’re walking, training, or adventuring, the Crossbody Leash moves how you move.
