Every week, we see a LOT of Kickstarter pet-related projects in our in box. Honestly, most don’t catch my eye–but recently a new project called CLIC from High5dogs sounded really interesting. I wrote back and asked the Dutch designer, Danny Fang (who runs an award-winning design studio in Hong Kong), for a sample.
I wanted to try the leash for two reasons:
- to have an easy way to secure the dogs to my chair when we’re at a dog-friendly patio restaurant or to a table when picnicking with them in a park
- to carry in my car to use as an adjustable collar and leash combo if I come across a lost dog without a collar
Both functions were possible thanks to the CLIC mechanism and the Leader system. With one hand, it’s possible to tether your dog in a single motion thanks to the mechanism:
I love that it was easy to tether Irie and Tiki without unleashing them! We took the leash to a local park for a mini-picnic and gave it a try on the picnic table:
It was super simple to tether each dog to the table while we sat with them:
The system also makes it easy to add a buddy leash to walk two dogs (or more) on a single leash.
The system offers four ways to leash your dog; options range from using your dog’s existing collar to, as I mentioned with a lost dog, turning the leash into a collar/leash combo with a slip or semi-slip option. This past year, I’ve picked up two lost dogs without collars and would have found CLIC really useful to have in my car.
CLIC also offers an easy way to shorten the leash (check the Kickstarter and video for more details).
Along with function, I thought CLIC was extremely attractive. The woven rope is very soft and the hardware is uniquely stylish.
Currently CLIC is crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Be sure to visit the Kickstarter page for more information. Let’s help spread the word about this unique leash with entries in this giveaway! One lucky community member will win both a CLIC leash and a buddy leash!
