Why a shock absorber in a leash?

The shock absorber in the dog leash is designed to reduce tension and jerks when walking or running with your dog.

Here are some reasons why a shock absorber can be useful:

Injury protection

Sudden leash jerks can cause back, neck or shoulder injuries to both the dog and the handler. The shock absorber helps to soften these jerks and reduce the risk of injury.

 

Dog comfort

The shock absorber in the leash absorbs sudden movements, which makes the walk more comfortable for the dog. This reduces stress on the dog's neck and back, which is especially important for dogs with sensitive joints or necks.

 

Dog control

A shock absorber can help you control your dog better during a walk. Leash jerks often cause the dog to react nervously and may try to pull or wriggle out of the owner's hands. The shock absorber helps to evenly distribute the force, which makes it easier to maintain stable control over the dog.

 

Reduction of tension in the joints

Prolonged pulling on the leash can put strain on the joints and muscles of both the dog and the handler. The shock absorber helps to reduce this tension, which is especially important during long walks on a leash.

 

It is worth remembering, however, that the shock absorber in the leash does not replace proper training of the dog. It is important that the dog learns to walk on a loose leash and react appropriately to the signals sent by the guardian.

The shock absorber is an additional tool that can increase comfort for both the dog and the owner during walks on a leash.
