Why Over-the-Shoulder Leashes Work for Hiking

This isn’t some city jogging gimmick. Our over-the-shoulder leash setup is ideal for real trails, letting you hike naturally while keeping your dog within reach.

Distributes weight across your body instead of just your hand

Allows one-hand control when needed, while freeing the other

Lets you carry bags, drinks, or trekking poles without leash juggling

Tips for Using a Crossbody Leash on the Trail

Wear the leash like a messenger bag—clip one end to your dog, the other to a D-ring

Adjust the length using the built-in rings for more slack or tighter control

Pair with a no-pull harness for smoother, safer hiking

This isn’t some clunky waist-clip leash. It’s a versatile, minimalist system for hikers who need their hands free—but their dogs secure. Real gear for real walks.

Inspired by Adventure. Built for the Outdoors.

Wanderpup Gear was born from real adventures with our Goldador, Lucy. Whether she was splashing in lakes or trekking through muddy trails, one thing was clear—we needed dog gear that could keep up. When we couldn’t find the perfect waterproof, stinkproof, and adventure-ready gear, we made our own.

Now, we’re on a mission to help dogs and their humans explore without limits. Every harness, collar, and leash is designed for durability, comfort, and all-weather performance—because adventure should never be cut short by soggy, smelly gear.
