K9 lifeline transitional leashes have been an absolute game changer for our fosters & adopters. The giant breed dogs, such as Great Dane & Saint Bernards, that we work with are often missing leash manners as well as socialization which can lead to reactivity on leash. The transitional leash gives our fosters & volunteers control of a pulling 100+lb dog. Often times leash manners can be a big turn off for fosters & potential adopters. Not being able to control a dog can scare them off but once they get the hang of the transitional leash, it gives them the control & confidence that they can in fact handle the dog. We are so thankful for the transitional leashes & the difference they’ve made for so many of our giant breed dogs!!

I have been a professional dog trainer for 30 years. During my career I have been successfully using every leash and training tool available. The K9 Lifeline Transitional Leash is my leash of choice. The transitional applied with the proper technique is the most efficient, gentle, and fair leash available. I have transformed hundreds of dogs with the transitional leash, and you can too. I give the transitional leash two thumbs up!

I just wanted to let you know how much we love these leashes!!!!! We have had such amazing success with them and have even been able to convince multiple adopters to purchase them... We use them constantly at the shelter especially for pack walks as well as doggy day out field trips!
[Bo] was one of our harder to adopt dogs, but once I started training him on the K9 Lifeline Transitional Leash, he was a totally different dog...
Again, thank you so much. They are such a huge help with training some of our harder to handle dogs. 

I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating this leash! I have spent hundreds of dollars on different leashes and harnesses for my dog that pulls. I spent an hour training my dog before going on a walk after watching the video on Facebook. After, I took my dog on a walk and it was the most peaceful, calm and focused walk I have ever had with my dog. I am very grateful for this invention, it really has improved the walking experience for my dog and family. 

The K9 Lifeline Transitional Leash is a life changer. I've been training professionally for 23 years. I've used the pinch collar, choke collar, flat buckle, gentle leader, harness (I know, I know...), e-collar, slip lead and even Cesar Milan's contraption. The transitional is the most successful, across the board tool I have ever used. Every client is OK with it, every dog eventually learns to respond to it positively. I really didn't think it would make as big a difference as it has, but color me impressed. Thank you all for this design and making it public!

We were introduced to this amazing Transitional Leash by our former trainer.  One of our dogs - Shaadi, a puppy at the time, was very difficult to walk since he was full of energy and wanted to pull at all time.  This leash helped us tremendously to walk him without him pulling, and made the walk much more pleasant for all of us.  Additionally, I LOVE the safety on this leash.  Shaadi was an international rescue and this type breed is very famous for getting out of their collars.  Having the safety means we never had to worry about him escaping!  We got one for our Doberman, and had gotten a few other friends to purchase for their pups too!  I want to buy more of these in the future to give to a rescue organization in Taiwan (who rescued two of our dogs) since some of their dogs escape in foster homes or new homes.  This wonderful leash will help avoid these situations!  

Our K9 Lifeline® leashes changed our lives. Truly. We've had our dogs for five years. Walks have always been a big, stressful endeavor and we began avoiding them. Our dogs would pull us down the street. One would react to other dogs with growling, barking, and lunging. I started to develop chronic pain in my shoulders.
The leash as a tool gives me full confidence in my ability to control my dogs. We now walk in a loose heel. My dogs feel relaxed and confident with me. We know how to communicate with each other through the leash without violent or stressful coercion. The ability to get them in a calm "sit" with the simple upward leash movement has opened up a world of possibilities. We are not perfect with maintaining calm while dogs passing us by, but I see a clear path to getting there through the use of the leash. I am SO GRATEFUL for this tool.

I've been working with multiple rescues in my area, teaching them how to use this leash. The results have been fantastic! Almost every shelter dog leaves knowing how to have a loose leash walk. And reactive dogs are so much easier to manage!
