1. Collar
A collar on your dog is great for walking them, holding onto them in a bad situation and holding your dog's tags. I also have a little blue light on Hugo's collar so I can see in at night times. I prefer to keep a collar on my dogs at all times but I don't like to walk them with just a collar because I feel as though it's very harsh on the dog's neck.
2. Harness
Now, this is something I will walk Hugo with. Hugo has a harness that we only put on him when he leaves our house. I also would like to buy another tag to put on his harness but I haven't gotten round to that yet. We use the harness for securing him in the car and for walking him.
3. Lead
Having a short lead is the best choice if you are only going to get one. I use this short lead in towns, near traffic and to the vets. Basically anywhere that you need to keep your dog by your side then you need a shorter lead.
4. Retractable Lead
I have to use this 'giant' retractable lead for Hugo but most ones will be much cheaper than this for smaller dogs. I love using this lead when we are at the park or on the beach. Hugo is very well behaved but I would recommend trying this out in a secure location before you go to public places.
5. Car Seat Belt Attachment
I feel like not enough people buckle their dogs into the car. I always recommend doing this to keep your dog safe in the car. I use this attachment by threading the car seat belt through it and clipping it onto Hugo.
