Are hands-free leashes good for dogs that pull?

Yes, but it depends.

If your dog pulls, a hands-free leash can feel easier because the force is controlled at your core instead of your arm, so you can hold your ground better and you’re less likely to drop the leash. You can also grab the loose section with your hand if you need extra control.

It doesn’t magically stop pulling though, it just changes where the pulling goes. If your dog is strong or lunges, use a padded hands-free leash and consider a bungee section to reduce the impact on your body.
