Product Description

The We Leash is the first in a line of products that enhance the human-dog bond, products based on the principles of NYT Best Selling Author and Canine Assistants Founder Jennifer Arnold’s Bond-Based Approach. With one handle for you and one for your dog, the direct connection is between your hand and his mouth. This design reduces the feeling of restraint while increasing the opportunity for interaction, all while not compromising the safety of being on a leash. In addition to the obvious unique features of the leash, the We Leash is made with an uber-comfortable neoprene handle and slight stretch for you and an organic plush handle for your dog. Various attachable organic plush toys sold separately.

Restraint Reducing Design Lessens Unwanted Behaviors

The We Leash consists of two lines, a connection line between your hand and your dog’s mouth, and a safety line between your hand and your dog’s harness. The connection line is shorter than the safety line. This restraint reducing design lessens dogs’ anxiety while on leash. Less anxiety means less unwanted behaviors and more enjoyable walks for both you and your dog!

A Cooperative Leash With Benefits Beyond Your Walks

With one handle for you and one for your dog, when using the We Leash the direct connection is between your hand and your dog’s mouth. When you move your hand, your dog feels it, and when he moves, you feel it. It’s like holding hands with your dog. The We Leash connection allows your dog a feeling of secure attachment and a sense of control that will reap benefits beyond your actual walks.

About the Startup

Describe your product in 3 words.

Cooperative two-way leash

How did you come up with the idea for this product?

While thinking of ways to eliminate the feeling of restraint caused by leashes, I knew that meant I would have to keep dogs from ever feeling pulled by the leash. I started by tying a toy on a rope and tying that to a leash. It worked beautifully . . . until it fell off. Not giving up on the concept, we developed what is now the We Leash.

What makes your product special?

There are no other leashes on the market that focus on the relationship between people and their dogs. The We Leash allows you to interact with your dog while on a walk and the restraint reducing design lessens dogs’ anxiety while on leash. Less anxiety means less unwanted behaviors and more enjoyable walks for both you and your dog.

What has been the best part of your startup experience?

Kickstarter was a great way to launch. You sit with an idea, and then develop it into a prototype, and then test it, knowing you think it is something the world needs. But, to turn an idea into a product, for us, it took people, complete strangers, to validate our idea with their support and wallets. Hours after launching the Kickstarter, we knew we had an idea worth making, that was gratifying!
