Even with strict leash laws, your companion can have some roaming space. Both sizes of the Ruffwear Roamer Dog Leash have an elastic core that extends, allowing you to maintain control while your partner enjoys a generous range of movement. Let your pup ramble and investigate without dragging you from your path.
Love this leash
This leash in a great alternative to retractable leashes, which can pose risks to both dog and human. It allows some roaming space but a lot more control. I have a small dog (28 lbs) but I got the large leash for the added length. He doesn't seem to mind the weight of it at all. I'm extremely happy with the quality of the leash as well, as I always have been with products from Ruff Wear.
Excellent Leash for Hiking Trails
My husband wanted this leash for walking our dog on hiking trails. He loves that he can buckle it around his waist and be hands free. The elastic allows our Mochi to wonder the trail without getting too far ahead. I wouldn't recommend for walking on the street or near traffic as the elastic also makes it difficult to control your pet in an emergency.
THE BEST LEASH OUT THERE!
This is the only leash I use for walking/running. I love it! I put it loose on my waist and it moves freely with my dog. You do need to be aware of the two sizes, I have the large but it is a little heavy for my 40 pound border collie.I will be ordering a small one as well and will give the larger one to my son's golden retriever. This leash is hard to find in stores and the quality of Ruff Wear is exceptional.

Great Leash!
Our little Aussie likes to sniff things out while on the trail. However, we don't like him to get to far away from us, so this leash is great. It allows the dog a chance to lead ahead without being to far away.
Awesome leash!
A great leash for active dogs and people! I buckle the leash around my waist and it's hands free hiking! I love it.
Great for a former sled dog
We discovered these leashes a few years ago and have never gone back. We are on our third roamer leash and are surprised more gear stores don't carry them. They are the best!! Especially for dogs like ours, a former sled dog, who will never learn to heel and loves pulling. We find it just as effective and much simpler than the marketed system for skijoring (which we also have but never use). We also use it for walks, runs, biking, and pulling our kids on sleds. Can't say enough good things about it. Thanks Ruff Wear!
Great Handfree leash,
We have two dogs that love to run and play. With the easy clip, you can clip one on your waist, and hold one in your hand, and have a hand free. With the bungee piece, helps the dogs from pulling, having some room to do their business. The handle is very comfortable. The leashes also hold up to weather very well. We have had one for 6 years and it still works, and I have it clip to the ponch to wash the dogs.
Walk, jog or run with your hands free
My dog likes his space and I like mine, so running is a challenge. When we can't run off leash in the woods back home, this clever and flexible leash gives him room to do his business sniffing and scratching without tripping me up. The bungee piece makes jolts when either of us stray too far less severe. If you are a walker, jogger or runner, this nifty leash lets you keep your hands free and let's your best friend have a fragment of freedom too.
Great convenience.
I use this with one or both dogs. The handle clip is great to tether one to a tree for a minute. Long enough to settle down, short enough to stay out of trouble. Easy clip and release.
I also use the Roamer to walk both dogs with one clipped on the traditional end, and the other clipped on the handle end and the middle of the leash running behind my back. That way, I can do a bit of obedience, correcting one at a time which you can't do with a dual leash.
The stretch feature is helping them learn when they are approaching the end of their acceptable distance from me.
The handle is very comfortable as well. This is my third Roamer (the first two proved to be tasty puppy treats so this says nothing about their durability).
