Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing your set
Do you have a matching dog harness and leash set?
Yes. The Freedom Walk Set includes a matching harness, leash, walking belt and poop bag holder (our Waste Bag Pouch), all in one color: Cherry Red, Oat Beige, Espresso Brown or Blueberry Blue.
How can I walk my dog without holding the leash?
Clip our Hands-Free Leash to the Walking Belt (included in The Freedom Pair) and wear it around your waist or crossbody, so your hands stay free for coffee, your phone or a stroller. When you want the leash in your hand, just unclip it and use it as a classic handheld leash.
Is there a dog leash with a matching belt and poop bag holder?
Yes. The Freedom Pair comes in matching colors, and the Waste Bag Pouch and Horizontal Pouch clip right onto the belt for bags, your phone and keys.
Are hands-free dog leashes good for everyday walks?
They're made for keeping your hands free on everyday walks. LULU'S also works as a classic handheld leash, so you can switch whenever you want more control, like on busy streets.
Is it a good harness and leash set for small dogs?
Yes. The harness comes in XS, S and M/L, and the thin leash (0.75" wide) is lighter, so it's often more comfortable for small dogs like toy poodles. Check our Size Chart for the right fit.
Is LULU'S durable enough for daily use?
Yes. The leash and belt are made from durable woven fabric with metal screw-lock clips, the harness has a soft neoprene outer and a breathable mesh lining, and every piece is adjustable and machine washable.
What makes LULU'S stylish?
Every piece is designed in California to match, in fashion-forward colors, so you and your dog look put together on every walk, from the coffee shop to the beach.
Hands-free walking
How does hands-free dog walking work?
Clip the leash to our Walking Belt (included in The Freedom Pair), wear the belt at your waist or crossbody, and clip the other end to your dog's harness or collar.
Should I wear the belt at my waist or crossbody?
It's the same belt either way, adjustable from 29" to 53". Choose whichever feels more comfortable; you can switch any time.
Can I use the leash without the belt?
Yes. The Hands-Free Leash works three ways: on the belt at your waist, on the belt crossbody, or on its own as a handheld leash. See both widths in our thin or thick hands-free dog leashes.
Do I need the Leash or The Freedom Pair?
The Leash is sold on its own, with no belt. The Freedom Pair includes both, so you can walk hands-free from day one. To compare it with The Freedom Walk Set side by side, see our hands-free dog walking sets.
What's included in The Freedom Walk Set?
The Freedom Walk Set includes the harness, leash, walking belt and Waste Bag Pouch, all in one color. The Horizontal Pouch is sold separately.
How do I attach the leash to the belt?
The leash has a metal screw-lock clip at each end. Attach the clip closest to the ring on the leash to the belt, and the other clip to your dog's harness or collar.
Can I walk two dogs with one belt?
Yes. The belt has D-rings on both sides, and you can attach more than one leash to it for multi-dog walks.
Sizing and fit
What size harness does my dog need?
The harness comes in XS, S and M/L. Measure your dog's neck and chest while standing, then choose the size that fits both on our Size Chart.
Is there a Large size?
M/L is our largest size (neck 12–18", chest 14–24"). It may fit some dogs at the smaller end of the Large range, but not all Large dogs.
Thin or thick leash?
Thin is 0.75" wide: lighter, and often more comfortable for small dogs. Thick is 1" wide, with a sturdier feel in the hand. Both have the same length.
How long is the leash?
41.5"–59.5" on the belt, and 32.5"–50" handheld.
The harness
Where do I clip the leash on the harness?
The harness has two leash attachment points: a front (chest) D-ring and a back D-ring. Our harness guide explains when to use each.
What is the harness made of?
A soft neoprene outer and a breathable mesh lining, with a quick-release buckle and a grab handle on the back.
Pouches
How does the Waste Bag Pouch work?
Unzip the Waste Bag Pouch, insert a standard roll of bags, and pull them out one at a time from the opening on the other side. Clip it to the ring on your belt, or to the ring on the leash when you walk handheld.
Will my phone fit in the Horizontal Pouch?
The Horizontal Pouch measures 8" x 6" x 2" in Cherry Red, Oat Beige and Espresso Brown, and 7.5" x 5" x 1.5" in Blueberry Blue. Please compare these with your phone's measurements, including its case. It attaches to the walking belt.
Care
How do I wash my LULU'S gear?
The harness, leash, walking belt, Horizontal Pouch and Waste Bag Pouch are all machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent (no bleach), and air dry only; do not tumble dry. See Product Care.
