🐾 Luluwags – "Cute, But Hands Off" Lead

Evie is the sweetest little dog when she knows you're safe. She's affectionate, funny, and once she trusts you, she has absolutely zero respect for anyone else's personal space and will happily demand a proper fuss. ❤️🐶

But out on a walk? Completely different story.

Evie really doesn't like people she doesn't know approaching her to stroke her, particularly if they're looming over her. She'll happily stand there while you pass the time of day chatting, but being touched? Absolutely not. 🙅‍♀️🐶

This summer alone, I can count six different occasions where people – including two occasions involving children – have asked if they can stroke her, I've said no, and they've then attempted to approach her anyway. 😬 An owner saying "no, please don't stroke my dog" should really be enough.

Apparently, it isn't. 🙃

So we decided to try the aptly named Luluwags "Cute, But Hands Off" lead. 🐶✋

And honestly, the first thing I loved was the colours. 🎨 They're eye-catching without being in your face, and most importantly, the wording is really clear and readable – which is, of course, the entire point!

My second favourite thing is the versatility. You can use the lead at different lengths, which was really important to me.

Evie's other lead is the EzyDog shock-absorbing lead, which I still absolutely love and will continue to use when we're just heading to the car or dog park. It's 1.2m long, which is great for pavements, but Evie loves to sniff, explore and investigate when we're off the pavement. 👃🌿

The extra length on the Luluwags means she can have a bit more freedom to explore, while I can double the lead back over to create a shorter lead when we're walking along pavements. So I'm not having to choose between a short lead or a long lead – I can have both. 👍🐾

You can also wear it as a cross-body lead, which I think is going to be particularly useful for some of our stop-offs when I want my hands free. 🙌☕🐶

The lead feels really strong too. It doesn't have the bungee shock absorber of her EzyDog lead, but interestingly, she doesn't pull as much when we're off the pavement because she has more length and more choice.

It also has carabiner locks for extra security, which I really like. 🔐🐾 It's rated to 4,500 N, so it's designed to cope with even the strongest pullers. 💪🐶

It's also machine washable at 30°C and fade-resistant, which feels like a very sensible feature when we're talking about a dog who likes to explore everything! 😂🌿

And I have to mention Luluwags' customer service, because we did have a small issue. When the lead first arrived, one of the carabiner locks wasn't fully locking. I contacted them and they replied within 24 hours, and a replacement lead was sent straight out. That's exactly the sort of customer service you want when the whole point of the product is keeping your dog safe. ❤️

And so far?

It's doing exactly what we wanted it to do. 🥰

People have noticed the lead, read the message and – most importantly – haven't tried to stroke her. 🙌🐾

Which means Evie gets to walk without having to constantly worry about someone coming into her space, and we get to enjoy our walks without having to repeatedly explain that no, really, you can't stroke her.

For us, that's worth its weight in gold. 🐶💗
