Dog Walking Products

Orvis dog collars and leashes are designed to be exceptionally sturdy, made with durable materials like webbed nylon, woven weatherproof polyester, and top-quality leather, and finished with reliable hardware at critical points of attachment.

Our Personalized Side-Release Buckle Collar and matching leash are both washable, so you can throw them in the washing machine for easy cleaning.

Knowing whether a collar or harness is better for your dog is more about understanding your dog’s temperament and behavior and less about a specific breed. The best way to know when a dog harness is a better choice than a collar is to consider how likely he is to slip out of a collar or whether a collar poses any sort of risk to a dog with health issues. There are certain “flat-faced” breeds, like French Bulldogs and Pugs, who have breathing issues, so pressure on the neck from a collar isn’t desirable. In these instances, choosing a harness for these breeds is better. Likewise, harnesses are better for toy breeds, who may get injured from a strong tug on a collar. Generally, collars work well for most dogs, but consider a harness if you have an escape artist, a dog with a slender neck, a dog you routinely buckle into a car restraint, or for a high-energy dog.

Choose the right size dog collar by measuring around your dog’s neck where the collar normally sits. This measurement corresponds to your dog’s collar size. The size chart on the collar’s product page will show you whether to order an XS, S, M, L, or XL.

To walk a dog with mobility issues, choose a comfortable, sturdy harness for full support with no pressure on his neck. Our Tough Trail Harness comes with a handle on the back in case your mobility-challenged dog needs help standing or requires extra assistance. Take your time, be patient with your dog, and contact your vet if you notice any changes in his mobility as you’re walking. It’s also helpful to outfit your home and car with steps, lifts, and traction for dogs with mobility issues.

Our reflective collars and leashes keep your dog visible when you walk in low-light conditions. For extra visibility, choose a collar with a built-in LED light, or an LED necklace made to wear in tandem with a collar.
