Activedogs 12" Nylon Clip-on Bridge Handle for Service Dog Vest & Harnesses w/Service Dog ID Band

I purchased this to add to my mobility assitance dog’s vest. (I wanted to acclimate him to the tool before I gave you a review so I could be fair and honest) Once he was acclimated to the tool we went out to work. The product performs very well. At first (given that my mobility dog is a Rottweiler) I must admit I was a little wary of the fact that it has plastic clips. However given that he was tasking at heel with just his vest and the handle within basically 5 minutes of accimation my worries were for not. (I trust my dog I do not trust other people’s dogs) If you have a shorter dog (I do not my partner is a large powerful breed) this handle would be a very good fit for a vest that already has a handle, but the handle isn’t quite long enough to comfortably use. I am not saying I would use the handle to completely replace a leash but on my partner has been trained with a gentle leader and when working with this handle on his vest he is able to go without the gentle leader. Even a handle like this with plastic clips on a well trained dog is more than capable of holding up to a power breed. I would not suggest you use it on a dog who does not walk heel and I would not suggest you use it on a dog use is still in training. Still over all a very sturdy product. I will probably order another one so I don’t have to keep switching this one between his vests.

This handle is very nice, comfortable in my hand, and has great functionality. Can't see an issue with it, the clasps are metal now.

I’m only 5ft and I’ve got a field spaniel assistance dog, this lead is about 3 inches too short to comfortably use with her. So think twice if you’re going to use this on a short dog, it’s definitely more designed for bigger dogs like labs and Alsatians

It is sturdy and easy to hold onto

Very small
