Tell Us If This Sounds Like Your Dog...
"The Arm Yanker"
Your dog sees a squirrel and nearly dislocates your shoulder. Every. Single. Walk.
"The Zig-Zagger"
Left, right, stop, GO. You spend more time untangling than walking.
"The Reactive Barker"
Other dogs, bikes, strangers — everything triggers a meltdown. You dread passing anyone.
You've tried everything, but nothing seems to stick. That's because they manage the symptom — they don't teach your dog.

Dog parents trust The Sidekick® —uses your dog's natural instincts to teach them.
How One Leash Replaces Your Entire Arsenal
Natural Instincts
The Sidekick® loops over the nose — not the throat. When your dog pulls, it activates a naturally ingrained calming response to the bridge of their nose. The moment they ease up, the pressure releases — teaching them in real time.
1
2
S-Hook
For a quick transition between the slip-lead and the head halter, pull the leash through the s-hook and position flat underneath your dogs chin.
Built-In Safety Clip
A safety clip attaches directly to your dog's collar as backup. Even if they shake off the nose loop, they're still secure. Zero escape risk.
3
Adjustable Stopper
The adjustable stopper locks the leash in the perfect position for your dog's size. One adjustment, and it stays put — comfortable and secure every walk.

"This leash helps fix the most difficult of problems. I've been training dogs for 38 years — Akitas, Malamutes, Mastiffs, Huskies. Put it on a 125lb, 8-month-old Giant Alaskan Malamute that was leash-reactive. Within 15 minutes it helped with her triggers. A few minutes was all it took for her to calm down."

I”t worked perfectly! I took my shepherd to pet smart and typically she is pulling me all around the store, using this I was able to walk calmly and confidently with her.”

"The sidekick® has been a game changer. Our German Shepherd was really good loose leash walking but would pull so hard when he saw someone he wanted to greet. With this & more training he has done so much better. Would definitely recommend."
