Leash for small dog
🚚 Shipped within 24h - Free delivery from €49
Standard leashes are often too heavy for a Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Dachshund, or Cavalier King Charles. The Dog Copenhagen Urban Freestyle™ leash for small dogs is designed for smaller breeds: lightweight, easy to handle, and adjustable from 115 to 200 cm.
In the city, shorten it to keep your dog close. In the woods, lengthen it in one easy motion to let them explore. Its size S aluminum carabiner is lightweight to avoid weighing down a small neck, yet it withstands 431 kg of pull.
- Soft, wear-resistant polyester webbing, OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, that is gentle on your hands.
- Neoprene-padded handle and 3M™ reflective elements for visibility at dusk.
- Accessory loop: attach a waste bag dispenser or a mini treat pouch.
Available in 10 UV-resistant, fade-resistant colors to match your Dog Copenhagen Y-harness starting from size XS. Hand wash or machine wash at 30°C in a laundry bag, air dry.

Frequently asked questions about small dog leashes
What leash length should I choose for a small dog?
For a small dog, a 1.2 m to 2 m leash is ideal. Adjustable leashes like the Dog Copenhagen Urban Freestyle™ allow you to adapt the distance according to the environment: short for the city, longer for the countryside.
Which type of leash is best suited for small dogs?
A light, thin and flexible leash is recommended. Leashes with soft polyester webbing or thin rope ensure a good grip without weighing down the harness or bothering the dog.
Is a specific leash required for a small puppy?
Yes, it is best to use an ultra-light and adjustable leash to accommodate their growth and facilitate leash training without constraint.
What is the difference between a leash for a small dog and a standard leash?
The difference lies in the weight, the size of the carabiner, and the flexibility of the materials. Models for small dogs are designed not to hinder their movement or exert excessive pressure.
Can the leash be matched to my small dog's harness?
Yes! At Dog Copenhagen, every leash comes in several colors that match the harnesses of the same brand, for a coordinated and stylish look.
How do I maintain a small dog leash?
Hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Some Dog Copenhagen models can be machine washed at 30°C in a laundry bag. Air drying recommended.
