ActiveDogs Service Dog Handle, Bridge Handle for Dog Harness, 12 in

I purchased this to add to my mobility assitance dog’s vest. (I wanted to acclimate him to the tool before I gave you a review so I could be fair and honest) Once he was acclimated to the tool we went out to work. The product performs very well. At first (given that my mobility dog is a Rottweiler) I must admit I was a little wary of the fact that it has plastic clips. However given that he was tasking at heel with just his vest and the handle within basically 5 minutes of accimation my worries were for not. (I trust my dog I do not trust other people’s dogs) If you have a shorter dog (I do not my partner is a large powerful breed) this handle would be a very good fit for a vest that already has a handle, but the handle isn’t quite long enough to comfortably use. I am not saying I would use the handle to completely replace a leash but on my partner has been trained with a gentle leader and when working with this handle on his vest he is able to go without the gentle leader. Even a handle like this with plastic clips on a well trained dog is more than capable of holding up to a power breed. I would not suggest you use it on a dog who does not walk heel and I would not suggest you use it on a dog use is still in training. Still over all a very sturdy product. I will probably order another one so I don’t have to keep switching this one between his vests.

Great deal works great for price. Service logo moves a lot

It works amazing expecailly with the vest I got! Im 5 1 1/2 and its big enough for me to grab without bending over and gives him extra room to fmp

Very good product for the price. It will attach to any harness or vest as long as there are two pints of contact, however to prevent the tag from moving it is best to have outside to outside connections and not on top. Good length, sturdy, and light weight. Also very easy to clean when muddy, just rinse off and put in dishwasher. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in training their animal also, as I have had very good results too. This is Dakota my hearing dog and also being trained for search and rescue. Hope this helped

If you are training a pup to do guide work this is a great option if you have a harness to clip this to. It will not be longer than about a foot from the dogs back but even for our tiny Aussie doodle puppy this is enough length for my wife’s SDIT to do light guide work and get used to the harness and handle. My wife says the feed back is pretty good but not the same as a $150 handle, but gets the job done pretty well. Our SDIT is a bouncy, spinning puppy but this handle prevents her from twirling and gives adequate feedback for the handler. My wife did have to get a couple double sided clips to extend the handle but as puppy grows this will become a none issue. My wife highly reccomends these if you are getting your SDIT used to the sensory of hanresses and handles.

works

I'm not saying this bridge handle is terrible, but it's not remarkable either. It's fairly sturdy. It's a little short for my dog's height, so holding onto it and going through rough places is sort of difficult because it ends up being pretty far down there. Honestly I'm happy with it. The one thing I'd say the other reviews said that I ignored but wish I hadn't is that the little "service dog" thingy slides all over the place. It's not fixed or attached in any way and it slides up and down the handle making it all wonky and out of shape after your dog goes about three steps wearing it. I ended up safety pinning the little thingy firmly to the handle so it would stay in place. You could sew it if you didn't want it to look as janky as mine does now, but my point is that I shouldn't have had to sew a brand new product I just bought.

This is a very comfortable handle for my dog and for me. I attached it to her service vest and it works well.

This handle is very nice, comfortable in my hand, and has great functionality. Can't see an issue with it, the clasps are metal now.

I’m only 5ft and I’ve got a field spaniel assistance dog, this lead is about 3 inches too short to comfortably use with her. So think twice if you’re going to use this on a short dog, it’s definitely more designed for bigger dogs like labs and Alsatians

It is sturdy and easy to hold onto

Very small

Like the item length. But to flexible.
