Tue, October 30, 2018 at 1:01 PM UTC

The great thing about Amazon (besides everything) is its best-selling lists. Thousands of people try the products you’re considering, share their experiences, increasing sales and bumping the best of the best to the top. We made this shopping process even easier on you by sifting through the top-selling dog leashes of 2018. Take our word for it, these are going to take your next walk from “bleh” to “BLESS!”

BAAPET 5ft. Strong Dog Leash

Not only is this leash the top-selling standard dog leash on Amazon, but it’s also got the Amazon’s Choice badge and 4.5 stars out of more than 1,200 reviews. Plus, it looks cool. The leash itself is made from thick rock-climbing rope (offered in five fun colors) woven with reflective threads for evening walk safety. The padded handle protects hands from rope burn, too, so dogs can wander with abandon.

TaoTronics Retractable Dog Leash

For dogs who like a little more freedom to roam, this leash is the best-selling retractable leash with four stars and more than 3,000 reviews. The nylon leash is durable and reaches 16 feet so pups can run around effortlessly to sniff and play during walks. And, hello? Ergonomic grip and a free waste dispenser attached? Yes, please!

TUG Patented 360° Retractable Leash

This TUG retractable leash offers 360° movement with tangle-free nylon tape, a patented design that makes handling your frolicking pup super easy. It also comes in two sizes: medium (up to 55 lbs.) and large (up to 110 lbs.). Another bonus: If you’ve got a teething puppy, an attachment is available that extends the life of the leash, saving the main line from tons of bite marks. Smarties.

Ruff ’n Ruffus Retractable Dog Leash

This is a great example of a leash that isn’t too flashy (except for its bright green color) or fancy (well, it does come with a free collapsible water dish) but has rave reviews and is an all-around durable, reliable leash.

U-Picks Dual Dog Leash

This is the best-selling leash for double dog duty on Amazon. With a no-tangle guarantee and 360° mobility, this leash is man’s best friend when it comes to controlling two pups at once. Two sizes are available, and the bungee version has shock-absorbing capabilities to help with rambunctious dogs. (You know how Pumpkin and Frito are when they get together…)

URPOWER Upgraded Retractable Dog Leash

For dog owners in more extreme climates, the durable leash’s case is made of solid ABS plastic, a material that functions well at temperatures as low as -20° F, and technically doesn’t have a melting point. (So you can walk your dog in lava if you want? Whatever—we’ll take it.) It also happens to be the number one best-selling item in the small animal harnesses category, so if your dog is tiny, Amazon pet owners say this is your best bet.

TaoTronics Hands-Free Dog Leash

This is Amazon’s best-selling hands-free leash, probably because it not only comfortably sits around your waist, but it’s also got extra handles along a strong bungee line for added control, should your pup get rowdy. The bungee design absorbs quick movements, preventing back injuries or strain. Plus, it works for big dogs up to 150 lbs. Don’t jog? Wear it as a belt with a chunky sweater and voilà! The sidewalk is your runway.

Check out this combo: With the Wigzi dual retractable leash, you’re not only able to walk two dogs at once, but you can also stop dogs independently (the buttons and corresponding leashes are color-coded to keep each animal’s activity in check). Each side reaches ten feet and offers 360° maneuverability; the self-detangling mechanism prevents messy knots and frustrating detangling sessions mid-walk. This leash sounds very zen, no?
