Quick answer
Use the Kim Airleash by clipping it around your waist, attaching the leash to your dog's harness, and adjusting the length for a comfortable jog. The built-in shock absorption makes running smoother for both of you.
Why the Kim Airleash Works for Jogging
The Kim Airleash is designed for hands-free walking and jogging. Its Flowtex™ elastic webbing absorbs the impact of pulling, which is especially useful when your dog surges during a run. The padded handle and lightweight anodized aluminum hook keep the leash secure without adding bulk.
Choosing the Right Length for Your Run
The Kim Airleash comes in two lengths. A shorter length gives you more control on busy paths, while a longer length allows your dog more freedom to explore. For jogging, a medium length is often best to balance control and comfort.
How to Use the Kim Airleash for Jogging
- 1. Attach the waist belt: Thread the waist belt through your belt loops or wear it directly around your waist. Adjust the buckle so it fits snugly but comfortably. A loose belt can shift during your run.
- 2. Clip the leash to your dog's harness: Use the strong anodized aluminum hook to attach the leash to your dog's back-clip harness. Avoid attaching to a collar, as sudden pulls can strain your dog's neck. Always use a harness with this leash for safety.
- 3. Adjust the leash length: The Kim Airleash comes in two lengths. For jogging, choose the shorter length to keep your dog close and avoid tangling. If your dog tends to pull, the shorter length also gives you better control.
- 4. Start jogging slowly: Begin at a slow pace to let your dog adjust to the hands-free setup. Keep the leash taut enough to prevent dragging but loose enough to allow natural movement. The Flowtex™ webbing will absorb any sudden pulls. If your dog pulls hard, slow down and redirect with a gentle tug.
- 5. Practice stopping and turning: When you need to stop or change direction, use a verbal cue like 'slow' or 'turn' to signal your dog. The padded handle lets you grab the leash quickly if you need extra control. Practice in a safe area before hitting busy streets.
