BookmarkThe Weiss WalkieTM is a great tool for dog guardians and animal shelters who want an easy, dog-friendly way to walk their dogs! The WalkieTM is immediately accepted by dogs no training necessary.
The Weiss WalkieTM is designed to quickly, comfortably, and humanely stop dogs from pulling.
How Does The Weiss WalkieTM Work?
The Weiss WalkieTM design incorporates principles of canine physiology and psychology to quickly and humanely stop pulling. It wraps around your dogs barrel and attaches to your dogs buckle collar. When the dog pulls, the Walkie applies slight pressure around the dogs barrel and dogs naturally decrease forward movement. The pressure around the chest also serves to naturally calm and relax the dog, to decrease arousal very helpful for the dog that is easily excited.
Comes in two sizes. Proudly made in the USA. Color : Black

We have a four year old lab, about 90 lbs, very strong. She has pulled my wife down and we have constantly worried that she will break free and get flattened by a car. We tried the Gentle Leader, a dog trainer, choke collar and a prong collar. None of them really solved the problem. We bought the Weiss Walkie on a recommendation by one of my wife’s coworkers, and the difference was amazing. Even when other dogs have enticed her, she is controllable and far more restrained.
Oddly enough, now that we have the big dog controlled, we have become more sensitive to pulling by our smaller dog, about 55 lbs, lab/hound mix. We are buying another WW for her.
Our only quibble? My wife wishes it were available in other colors. Black is fine for me.
I have a wild and crazy golden retriever who has NEVER been good on leash, despite training and attempts to use other products. Though not completely perfect, the Weiss Walkie has enabled us to have pleasant walks that have saved wear and tear on my arm muscles, not to mention shoulder and elbow joints. It was well worth the cost and I highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to avoid another round of physical therapy for arm/shoulder/elbow injuries inflicted by their over-zealous four-footed walking companions.
Yes, you can use your own leash to make this and I have in the past, but this just seems to work better. I have a 6 year old Golden Retriever that has pulled from day one. We tried other leads, nothing worked. This worked from the minute we put it on her. Seems it’s not as invasive to her as other leaders.
I recommend it and so glad I bought it.
This item has poor quality pictures that I couldn’t really read. Turns out that the reason why is that it’s a basic round nylon horse lead, with one extra metal loop at the bottom end of the snap. You snap the lead onto the dog’s collar in the usual way, then pass the handle end of the lead under and around the dog’s chest and back through the metal loop. Thence to your hand as usual. It tightens around the chest if the dog pulls. You could get the same effect by using a split-ring key ring on the bottom end of a buckle of a regular long dog lead.
