Why we love the Sidekick
It redefines "hands free dog walking" as a sleek and capable accessory.
Slide the Sidekick onto the Leader, belt or fanny pack* for a minimal and stylish attachment with hands-free possibilities. This lead strategically positions the handles of Lead-all leashes where your hand rests naturally at your side, providing you a hold of any leash right when you need it. Quickly take leashes on and off your body, and use the dee ring to stash the gear when dogs are off-leash – or use the dee ring to tote essential dog walking accessories. Not only is the Sidekick heckin’ handy, it’s super stylish too.
Select the “Multiple” model to walk multiple dogs and the “Solo” model to walk a single dog. Add additional Sidekicks for multiple attachment points.
*Always prioritize safety by using a trustworthy fastener, such as the Leader, capable of withstanding your dog's potential force.

Safety
Just because you can be hands free doesn't mean you always need to be or should be.
Please do not use the hands-free function of this product when you are uncertain of your ability to manage the force of the dogs attached or on treacherous surfaces such as ice or gravel.
Always be aware of your surroundings and use handles when approaching triggers that may increase your dog's force.
Regularly change the "lead point" on your body to avoid chronic pain. By switching up how you're managing dogs (around the waist, across your chest or by hand) you let your body heal from tension.
While we've made the safest choices possible for this product, animals are unpredictable by nature. Furthermore, choices made in regards to how animals are handled, the terrain in which you walk dogs and how the quality of the gear is maintained in the long term is not within TinyHorse's control. By purchasing this product, the customer hereby releases TinyHorse from any liability or responsibility that may occur, either indirectly or directly from the use of this product.
Please email us immediately at hello@tinyhorse.ca if you experience a safety incident as a direct result of this product.
Care
CLEANING
🫧 Light cleaning: wipe lead with a warm, soapy cloth then hang to dry.
🧽 Deep cleaning: soak lead in warm soapy water for 30 mins, wipe with a cloth then rinse thoroughly. Hang to dry.
🧺 Machine wash: Put lead in a laundry bag, wash on gentle with cold water, hang to dry.
🧼 We recommend using mild detergents as heavy duty detergents have shown to effect the finish on some products. If you are unsure of the intensity of your detergent and want to extend the finish, soak clips in hot water only.
🌊 Rinse after exposure to salt water.
MAINTENANCE
🛠️ Ensure that you regularly soak the entire product. It's important to clear debris from the mechanics of clips for long-term use. Apply high-quality oil to swivel to extend the life of your lead - like a tire tread, this mechanism eventually wears away and the lead will need to be replaced. NEVER apply oil to trigger chamber as this may lead to unwanted unclippings. Regularly check the swivel and opening/closing mechanism of clips.
🦷 Never leave your gear unattended with dogs known to chew.
🚗 Do your best to protect gear from exposure to extreme conditions, especially those created during vehicle storage (such as direct light through windows or freezing temperatures).
Warranty
TinyHorse uses the best materials and construction methods possible. Stitching and hardware are under warranty for one year. Damage to the product's material inflicted through use is not included in the warranty. For more information please see our policy page.
