Excellent addition to our training setup!

We added the safety strap to our harness/collar/leash setup for our 1-year old lab/hound mix, Otter, after she wriggled her way out of her harness a few times! We're learning a lot during training and this safety strap really puts our minds at ease if this were to happen again, connecting the leash directly to her collar in addition to the clip on the harness. Always high-quality materials, well-made, and great color options from HTH's products!

Thank you so much, Corie! We’re so glad the safety strap has brought you a little extra peace of mind while Otter is learning and growing. Young dogs certainly know how to keep us on our toes! 😄 It’s wonderful to hear it’s fitting seamlessly into your harness and collar setup while adding that extra layer of security.

Thank you for your kind words about the quality, craftsmanship, and color options. We’re honored to be part of Otter’s training journey and wish you many safe, confident adventures together! ✨ (Otter is beautiful!)

Perfect!

I purchased the 8" safety strap, which perfectly connects between the 2 back clips on Zoey's harness (Ruffwear Flagline, Size M). It allows me to use either clip without fear of them breaking, and if they did, her leash would still be attached! Perfect for those who like a little extra security!

Glad to hear you and Zoey are enjoying your new safety strap Claire! Thank you :)

The extra piece of mind this gave me!!

We did four state parks and a city park hours away this weekend and between our HTH sport long line and this safety strap I never once worried about Ollie taking off on me. He's about 30 lbs and we have the 8" strap which fits him perfectly. The extra attachment point between him and the leash just gave me SO much extra piece of mind. (The pup's got 9 teeth, excuse all the tongue!)

Poor quality clip

The clip broke after less than 4 weeks of use. The clip is stuck closed and is extremely difficult to open. Once we do get it open it doesn't close. This is a major problem if it were to accidentally unclip while our dog is outside because it won't clip back up

Safety strap and amazing service

I reached out to High Tail Hikes about the safety strap just days before I was set to travel on a big adventure. My amazingly smart pup had figured out how to back out of her harness while tethered to out camping site. While her smarts impress me, her safety was also important. The safety strap helps me ensure that she’ll be safe even if she backs out of her harness while we’re camping on this big trip. High tail hikes was kind enough to help me trouble shoot size and get a package in the mail to me so I could receive it on the first stop of our trip.

A little extra peace of mind

I have two HTH long lines, one of which has become the main leash for daily walks with my pup. He is a roller who will often throw himself down in the weeds or dirt and wiggle on his back, and a handful of times he's managed to unclip the brass clasp from the back of his harness. He's an independent-minded dog with not-great recall, so I got this as a backup. I clip it from the leash to his collar. I got the longest length, which is maybe slightly longer than we need, but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. I just leave it clipped to his leash. I maybe should have just gotten the carabiner attachment on the leashes to begin with, but this works! HTH products are expensive but our dog trainer claims they will last forever.

Thank you so much, Joel! 💛 Your pup sounds like quite the adventurous roller! 😄🐾 We’re so glad the safety strap is giving you extra peace of mind and keeping him securely connected during your walks. We appreciate your continued support and your trust in the quality of our gear. Wishing you both many more happy adventures ahead!

Excellent product

My pup was gifted a long line leash for Christmas last year. She’s a very anxious and reactive rescue and this leash has changed her walks for the better. I bought this safety strap as an extra layer of protection and attach it to her collar just in case she would slip or break her harness. She is a more relaxed and happy dog. The biothane is easy to clean and maintain. I will never buy another leash.

Thank you so much, Dawn! 💛 Hearing that your pup is more relaxed and happy on her walks means so much to us. For an anxious or reactive dog, having the freedom to explore while still feeling safely connected can make such a difference. 🐾
We’re also so glad the safety strap gives you that extra layer of security in case she ever slips out of or breaks her harness. That added peace of mind can make walks more enjoyable for both ends of the leash!
Thank you for trusting High Tail Hikes with your rescue girl and for sharing how our gear has helped her. “I will never buy another leash” is an incredible compliment! Wishing you both many more peaceful, sniff-filled adventures together.

Helps us Feel Secure with Wiggly Vizsla Pup!

We have a very wiggly Vizsla puppy, so having back-up connectors is extremely important to us.

We use a harness with a front clip along with a collar. The sport/ auto-locking carabiner leash is attached to his collar, and we use this safety strap to connect the lower part of the carabiner and the harness. The bolt locks are small enough to stay out of his way/ his face, and he has plenty of freedom to move as he chooses. Makes me feel 10x better knowing there's a back-up while he's rolling/ running/ jumping around!!

Added bonus that the color is so beautiful and vibrant! I chose a bright teal color so that I can see from a distance if it comes unclipped (it has stayed PUT thus far!) Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Tess! We’re so happy to hear the safety strap is giving you that extra peace of mind with your wiggly Vizsla pup. It sounds like you’ve put together a thoughtful setup that keeps him safe while still letting him move, roll, run, and explore comfortably.

And we love your choice of bright teal—it’s such a beautiful color and a great high-visibility option! 😊 Thank you for your recommendation and for sharing how you use the safety strap. We wish you and your adventurous pup many safe and happy outings together! ✨

Safety strap works great

I use the Bio Thane safety as a second point of attachment when walking my dog since she is dog reactive and I don’t want to take a chance on her getting loose. I like that it’s light weight and easy to secure.

That is a great way to keep you both safe Melita, thank you for trusting in HTH for your safety gear.

Safety strap - so glad I had it

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this product and why I am buying a second one for my other dog. I already have one for my 1 year old standard poodle and am SO grateful I had it on her yesterday. We were out on a lovely walk in an wooded area along a river when she totally panicked for some reason. I have no idea what she saw, felt or heard, but in the process she managed to back out of her harness and the only thing that saved her from running was the safety strap attached to her collar and leash. When we finally got her calmed down enough to get her harness back on, all she wanted to do was get back to the car.
Grateful for that safety strap!

Oh my goodness Margaret! I am sorry she was so scared, I am so glad you had that safety strap!

Great product!

These safety straps are such a great extra to have in your equipment bag. We ordered them for all of our walkers to have on hand, and have also recommended them to clients.

Love the peace of mind

Skipper LOVES walks, but can sometimes get spooked by things out in the world. The safety strap paired with her martingale collar gives me the peace of mind that even if she panicked and backed out of her harness, I would have a second security point attached to her leash.

Yay!

My pup is very wiggly and sometimes manages to not only wiggle out of his harness, but also his collar! It gives me peace of mind to know that his ID info will stay on him, even if he’s feeling extra mischievous

Lifesaver!

Our dog Jasper loves to roll in the dirt but sometimes his back clip would become unattached and I was nervous he would become unclipped and accidentally take off. I had no idea what safety straps were but we worked with Liz ans she got us set up with an awesome safety strap that we trust and has kept jasper clipped in and safe ever since. In fact! Our dog Jasper is the cutie in the product photos above so we hope you enjoy the safety strap as much as we do :)

Yay, safety!

The safety strap is great! The additional safety is great especially when I am working with new dogs or fearful dogs and its comfortable for them. I used to use carbiners and they would occasionally fail, this is much better very happy they exist! Thank you!!!

Great Product!

Love these as an extra level of safety. When you have dogs that can be wild cards if they get off leash, these safety straps will give you more peace of mind. Nothing is 100% safe so I am glad that I have a backup put in place. Thank you!

Incredibly well made

I was a little nervous about how heavy the clips were for the size of straps I ordered, but they held up! My husband I took are of my mom’s dog Ruby while her house was undergoing work. Ruby isn’t used to the city, seeing lots of dogs and people and unfortunately we don’t have a nice quiet yard. Ruby out her safety strap to when she suddenly got spooked during a walk and backed partially out of her harness. If I had not had the safety strap I would have been terrified to walk my mom’s dog while she stayed with us. Thankfully by the end of her stay Ruby was much more confident and happy, but I gifted the strap to my mom to use with Ruby just in case. Other than being well made and practical, the colors are gorgeous and it just frankly looks expensive. Haha.
