Collars, Leads & Harnesses72 products
Walking collars, harnesses, leads, and recovery cones for every size.
This category covers everything you attach to your dog: flat walking collars, martingale collars, head collars, harnesses of every design, standard leads, retractable leads, training leads, and recovery e-collars (the Elizabethan cones dogs wear after surgery). Choosing between them depends on what your dog pulls like on a walk, what the gear needs to do (ID tag carrier, walking attachment, training aid, medical recovery), and how long and how often you walk. The right combination makes walks easier for both ends of the lead.

Walking gear breaks into several sub-types. Flat collars carry ID and registration tags and suit dogs that walk politely. Front-clip harnesses redirect pulling and suit strong pullers during training. Back-clip harnesses are comfortable for casual walks and for dogs with neck sensitivities. Head collars give maximum leverage on strong-pulling large breeds but need proper fitting. Martingale collars tighten slightly under tension and work well for sighthounds with narrow heads. Retractable leads offer freedom but teach poor lead manners and carry real injury risks if used carelessly. Recovery e-collars are a separate sub-group for post-surgery protection.
In Australia, council regulations require dogs to wear a collar with ID tag at all times in public, and most councils prefer a registration tag on the same collar. Hot Australian summers make material choice matter — cheap nylon collars with metal buckles get uncomfortable in direct sun, and harnesses with dark fabric can overheat small dogs on bitumen. For walking in the bush or on long trails, a sturdy harness with chest and back attachment points outperforms a collar alone for both safety and control.
How to choose
Start with what your dog does on walks. Polite walkers can use a flat collar with a standard lead. Moderate pullers benefit from a back-clip harness. Strong pullers need a front-clip harness (which redirects pulling) or a properly fitted head collar. Large strong breeds with neck sensitivity should always use a harness, not a collar. Measure carefully — collar size is neck circumference, harness size is chest circumference — and a too-loose collar is a slip-out hazard while a too-tight one chafes. Two fingers should fit between collar and neck. For leads, choose 1.2-1.8m lengths for standard walking, longer for training, and avoid retractable leads near traffic or other dogs because the sudden slack creates real danger. Recovery e-collars should fit snug enough that the dog can't reach the wound but not so tight they restrict breathing or eating.
Key considerations
Measure, don't eyeball
Collar size is neck circumference, harness is chest. Two fingers should fit between collar and neck — check fit every few months.
Match gear to pulling style
Polite walkers use flat collars. Moderate pullers need back-clip harnesses. Strong pullers benefit from front-clip or head collars.
ID tag is the law
Australian councils require ID on a collar at all times in public. Most also require a registration tag on the same collar.
Retractable leads have real risks
Retractables teach poor lead manners and cause injuries when the brake slips. Avoid near traffic or other dogs.
Summer material check
Dark nylon and plastic buckles heat up in Australian summer sun. Mesh harnesses and lighter materials stay cooler.
Frequently asked
Collar or harness for walking?+
Harness for most dogs, especially small breeds, brachycephalic breeds (pugs, bulldogs, frenchies), and strong pullers. Collars are fine for polite-walking medium and large dogs and are essential for carrying ID tags. Many owners use both — collar for ID, harness for the walking attachment.
How do I stop my dog pulling on the lead?+
A front-clip harness combined with reward-based training is the fastest practical fix — the front attachment redirects forward motion and makes pulling self-correcting. Head collars work for very strong pullers. The underlying issue is usually training, not gear, so expect to combine the equipment change with consistent lead-manners practice.
Are retractable leads safe?+
They carry more risk than fixed-length leads. Common issues include rope burn when the cord catches a finger, loss of control when the brake slips or fails, and dogs running into traffic at full extension. Fine for open spaces with no hazards, but not for urban walks near roads and other dogs.
What size harness does my dog need?+
Measure chest circumference at the widest point behind the front legs, and check the brand's size chart against that number. Most harnesses adjust within a range, but getting the right range matters. Budget to re-measure growing puppies every few weeks — outgrown harnesses become escape risks fast.
Do I need a different collar for a recovery cone?+
The 'cone of shame' for post-surgery recovery is a separate item from walking collars. Most recovery e-collars are plastic or fabric and slot over the dog's existing collar or attach directly. Soft cones and inflatable alternatives are gentler than hard plastic but work only for calm dogs and some surgical sites.
