Why consider it
KONG Hands-Free is a comparison for someone who prefers a body-worn connection on an ordinary walk. We would examine the supported configurations and where the lead can still be gripped.
What could make us pass
Do not substitute the separately named Shock-Absorbing Hands-Free model. A hands-free connection can transmit an unexpected pull directly to the handler's body.
Fit and handling
Check the complete intended configuration, body-loop range, usable dog-to-handler length and accessible hand-held control points. Confirm which pieces are supplied. A body-worn connection can transmit an unexpected pull directly to the handler; it still needs attention.
Check length, width, clip, intended dog limits and included handles. Coupler-only purchases need a compatible main lead; complete dual-leash systems may already include it. Check the handling instructions for retractable, slip, hands-free and long leads.
