How did we get our start?
In 2015, we rescued Chester, the heart and soul of our brand. This 65lb ball of energy loves all things outdoors. Chester’s the reason we’re on this journey, and his spirit keeps pushing us to create top-notch products for all our amazing customers. And so, the Tuff Mutt Brand was born – our products are a reflection of everything Chester stands for: strength, athleticism, boundless energy, and undeniable good looks.
What we believe:
We believe there is nothing better than the bond between a dog and owner. A dog’s unwavering loyalty and unconditional love are inspiring. As humans, we should model our character after this.
Who we are:
We’re a small business in Southwest MO. Our passion for dogs fuels everything at Tuff Mutt because a world without their loyalty, playfulness, and love is hard to fathom. Your positive testimonials make our journey all the more rewarding. When we’re not crafting quality products, you’ll find us on the trails, with Chester and our goofy Goldendoodle, Charlie!

Great Leash
I have a 60-lb mix and this has been one of the best purchases I’ve made as far as leashes and such for him. I purchased this several months ago and while I do have to readjust the strap for me every once in a while, it’s mostly been a secure fit and has held up to multiple every day uses. It works well with his no-pull harness and I have no issues with control or having him pull me. The elastic has also held up and is a nice feature to add some forgiveness for my dog when I stop suddenly or when he gets distracted momentarily.

MUST HAVE for running, hiking, biking, walking or shopping hands free with your mutt! Perfect for our big Labradoodle!
I’m going to keep this short and sweet. If you run, hike or bike with your dog on a regular basis, you NEED this leash in your life!!! It is the absolute best! My 3 y/o 80lb labradoodle is a very very active boy and likes to go everywhere we go. If he doesn’t go running at least once a day (3-5 miles!) he isn’t happy. Since it’s hard to keep up with his exercise needs with my own two legs, I wanted a leash that would allow me to ride my bike as well and this is great for that! Being hands free is amazing. Here’s what I love about this leash:- EASY TO ADJUST: The waist strap will fit anyone and is easy to adjust to any size. That means my husband and I can both use it without having to spend 20 minutes re-fitting it to the user. It literally takes seconds.- QUALITY: The materials are really durable and strong. This thing isn’t going to fall apart!- DESIGN: I love that it’s got a section of bungee to help absorb shock if my big guy suddenly decides to go in a different direction (to say hi to another dog). I love that it has two handles that are easy to grab in the event that you need to keep your pooch at your side or pull him out of harms way. One is up by the waist strap and one is down by the collar connection. I love that my dog can run around me or change sides mid run without getting tangled up! The attachment at the waist is designed so it can slide around your body easily. I love the length of the leash. It’s perfect for running, hiking or biking. Keeps your pup close enough but not so close that you trip over each other. It has reflective material on it which is great for our early mornings before the sun comes up!I rarely give 5 stars, and truth be told, I think this deserves 4.75 stars. The only thing I think that could be better is if it had a more comfortable waist strap, made of softer material, however the one it has hasn’t been UN-comfortable at all so I won’t dock any stars. Taking my dog out for activities (or even shopping at home depot) hands free has been a WONDERFUL experience! I really really love this leash! Pair it with a good harness like I did and you and your pooch will both be happy. My only warning would be for those who have big dogs that don’t walk on a leash well. If you’ve got a big dog who runs and pulls on the leash a lot, this might not be a fun experience for you, but if your dog is a good walker/runner, it’s a great fit! I hope this helps someone else. I did NOT receive this for free or at a discount.

Love This!!!
I love the hands free. she has been learning to walk on the leash since Dec 23 2024. She love to go around me at times. I have the belt part around my waist big enough that when she goes around me, the leash & her go around with no problems. As of today 1/19/25 She hasn’t done that any more but she till weaves side to side at times. Work in progress. I also like the bungee part, it bounces her back to me in a subtle way and I don’t have to pull her back when she tries to go to far ahead. Best money spent… Thank you :=}
Cautionary Tales –
Almost perfect!
This is such a great product that I really only regret having taken so long to discover its existence. I have a big old 95-lb velicraptâdog, a half-dane, half-weimeraner mixâand he is godawful on a long leash, and only somewhat better when we’re running. The main thing is he likes to get his sniff on floating from one side of me to the other (usually, thank all that is holy, when behind me). I don’t really feel the need to train him out of his habit â after all, he rarely goes in *front* of me, and I like him to smell what needs smellin’ along the way.Obviously having the leash secured to my midriff allows me full mobility of my hands and arms, relieving pressure on my shoulder should he ever want to tug at me. But even better, there’s no need to transfer the leash from one hand to the other as he drifts around because the genius element to this leash is that the leash part attaches to your waist belt with a sliding ring which floats all around the perimeter of your belt as the dog moves. This is a revelation.There’s also a loop in the leash that I can easily grab if I need to shorten his range while wedging in between people, like in a crowd â and another loop right near the collar attachment that allows for even closer control.Another feature I love is the accordion stretch section of the leash which cushions impact if he does lurch hard; it gives me a bit of time to calibrate and mitigates the force of the pull. Brilliant!Two details that make a huge difference, too, are the way the two clasps that attach the leash (both to the belt and to his harness loop) are swivels. Anyone whose leash isn’t a swivel attachment might know how much of a difference that makes to keeping leashes from tangling or twisting.The only downside? The belt adjustment. The tension adjustment around my body is just kinda weak and loose. No matter what I do, it stretches out and widens as I run, and starts falling down my hips after a couple of miles. It’s a small detail but having that ironed out would really make a difference.Overall, though, I LOVE the product and it’s made runs with the diaper-baby much, much better.

Iâve bought three of these
My favorite leash! (My dog ate the plastic latch on one so I had to replace it.) This has the perfect amount of stretch to allow my guy to explore. Easy to customize the waist size to fit well. Very well made and sturdy, with a solid quick-release metal latch thatâs easy on arthritic hands. Just donât leave it out if you have an aggressive chewer. 😉

Bought this so I could practice loose leash walking with my 70lb GSD. It’s very well built and has a grip at the top and further down in case you need to correct pulling. I’m a 2XL in clothes and this fits around my waist no issues while wearing a light jacket. Great product!
Amazon Customer –
Great for running with my dog. My dog is approximately 70lbs but can pull as if he were a work horse. The quality of this leash is great and I enjoy that the leash rotated around your body giving him some freedom to sniff and explore both sides of the trail while we run.

Hands free, no more upper back pain from my arm being pulled. My dog Becca moves side to side easily and If she runs behind me I can easily turn the belt and hey presto No tangle up of the lead. Itâs just great.
Cristie –
Iâm not a runner but I use this everyday with my Labrador who pulls a lot. I use it when we go walking and it means my hands are free to do what I want.
