This carabiner-based dog leash is a ruggedly designed EDC for all sorts of rough and tough dogs

Posted on by



By definition, a carabiner clip’s designed for securely clipping items to yourself, or even yourself to tethers. Carabiners are designed to be incredibly load-bearing, and they’re mostly relegated to heavy-duty military, construction, and camping equipment… the GPCA X Clip PRO makes the case that if a carabiner clip can allow you to tether yourself while rock-climbing, why can’t it also be used to securely hold your dog while walking outdoors?

Designed as a heavy-duty carabiner-leash, the GPCA X Clip PRO is, well, for heavy-duty dogs. It comes with a CNC-machined 360clip that easily clips onto any dog collar or harness, offering a better user experience than traditional clasps, which are fiddly and fragile at best. The 360clip is thicker and comes machined out of solid stainless steel. It clips onto any D-ring with absolute ease, and a diamond-knurled grip makes it easy to maneuver for humans, allowing you to slip it on or off with ease. The 360clip even supports a special no-pull leash looping formation, formulated via the GPCA team. By simply allowing you to loop the leash around the dog’s front legs before clipping it to the D-ring, the no-pull formation forces the dog to turn sideways every time they pull too hard against the leash. Perfect for larger dogs (although just as functional and aesthetically suitable for smaller, cuter pooches), this no-pull formation disables their ability to forcefully tug on the leash, giving owners control over their excitable pets!

On the other side of the leash is the carabiner, designed and proportioned perfectly to fit right into the hand and serve as a high-tension handle. The carabiner can easily clip onto poles or your bike’s handlebar (or even around the leash) to secure the pet when you want, and can be used as a handle while walking your dog. Its design is perfectly grippy and can be held in one of three ways, depending on how big or strong your dog is. For smaller or gentler dogs, the carabiner can be held or even secured to your belt loop, or even your pocket via a pocket clip. With larger, more powerful dogs, the carabiner itself can be gripped within your palm, giving you the perfect grasp to ensure that you don’t accidentally let go of the leash as your dog tugs on it. What’s convenient about the carabiner is that it isn’t even limited to a single dog leash. Just open it up and slide multiple leashes in, and you’ve got a single grip to tether all your dogs… you could even chuck your keys or poo-bag-holder in for good measure.

The GPCA X Clip PRO’s carabiner comes machined out of either stainless steel, or infinitely stronger titanium. Either of the variants give the carabiner the ability to take 400 lbs of force, allowing you to easily reign in even the most brutish of dogs without worrying about a leash digging into your skin, or snapping apart because of your large dog’s tugging ability. Given how versatile and universal the carabiner is, you could use it for other things too, while camping, trekking, or even carrying things around (it isn’t rated for climbing, FYI)… and perhaps my favorite part about the carabiner’s design, a tiny detail that allows it to even open bottles with ease!

Sitting between the carabiner and 360clip is the GPCA X Clip PRO Set’s rope leash. Thicker than flat-woven leashes, the rope is akin to the kind of paracord of tethering cord used in camping, rock-climbing, and even military rappelling. It’s measurably stronger, much more comfortable, and comes with a nifty adjusting mechanism that lets you easily adjust the length of your leash on the fly.

Every element of the GPCA X Clip PRO Set is designed as an upgrade to the current leash system… functionally as well as visually. The ruggedly designed EDC works well on its own, and allows you to universally use the clip and carabiner with other leashes too, letting you walk multiple dogs while easily gripping onto them. The carabiner clip can secure onto bike handlebars and car-handles too, or even around your belt-loop or a harness-jacket, if you’re walking multiple dogs together. The metal clip and carabiner come CNC-milled and are designed to last for years, while the rugged rope-leash boasts a 6-core design and comes made from stainless-steel and polyester for high-durability and strength. It’s not often that we see a lot of pet-centric EDC here on Yanko Design, but the GPCA X Clip PRO Set definitely sets the standard extremely high!

UX Design for Pets? This company is creating minimally-designed functional gear for your furry friends

Posted on by



Your pet probably couldn’t tell a regular chair from a Herman Miller, but there’s a case to be made around designing better pet products. There’s a long-standing adage that form follows function, but good design is all about emotion too. A well-designed pet product doesn’t just functionally serve the pet’s needs, its aesthetics also keep the owner happy, creating a user experience that takes everyone into account. As they say, good design benefits everybody. Consider that the ethos of TOMO, an up-and-coming pet-gear brand fueled by great design.

TOMO gives pet-gear the upgrade it’s always needed, with minimalist aesthetics and beautifully engineered designs backed by high-quality materials. Putting basic plaid collars and harnesses with those fiddly carabiner clips in the rear-view mirror, TOMO’s pet gear comes in beautiful matte black, from leash to collar to harness, and features a unique, robust metal clasp that’s minimal, durable, and easy to secure in a matter of seconds. All the products look like they’re a part of a wonderful ecosystem (unlike current pet-gear where the leash, collar, and dog-tag look different because they were all bought separately. The entire ecosystem of products draws a balance between functionality, comfort, and aesthetics, giving pet-gear a modern upgrade and making them complement each other when worn together, like a well-designed suit.

The leash attaches to either the dog collar or the harness using a specially-designed patent-pending latch. Designed to be quick, easy, and secure, the metal latch locks/unlocks intuitively and is designed to withstand immense force, allowing it to easily take on heavy tugs and pulls from “rambunctious” dogs. The human-end of the leash sports a circular latch too, allowing you to easily tether your pet to a pole or fence when needed. TOMO’s collars come with an adjustable design and in 4 sizes, while the harnesses come in 6 sizes to suit all breeds of dogs. Aside from making your pooch look dapper, they’re designed to be comfortable too, making both pet and owner happy.

Thoughtfully designed to encompass the entire pet-walking experience, TOMO’s product ecosystem also includes a ‘silent dog tag’ and a dispenser for waste-bags. The silent dog tag sits on the dog-collar like a badge instead of hanging from it, and comes with a minimal design that features the dog’s name and a contact number. The waste-bag dispenser comes with a matching minimal design too, and can attach to the leash, allowing you to pull out the plastic bags after your dog’s done its business. The products are designed to complement each other, looking like they belong together… and they even come coated with a washable, waterproof, scuff-resistant, and odor-resistant BioThane© coating, so even if your dog’s the mud-loving kind, their gear remains looking stylish no matter what!

This dog harness + leash combo is the safest, most comfortable way for humans to walk their pets!

Posted on by

Whether you have just brought home a new dog or want a safer and more comfortable gear to walk them every morning, this hybrid dog harness with an integrated leash is what can make the difference. As a pet parent, you’d agree, there is nothing more satisfying to see the anticipation and unbridled excitement your furry friend has to step into the outdoors. This pure joy can be momentary if you do not have the comfortable gear and your dog feels tied up and restricted when running through the grass or jaunting through the block.

Outdoor pet equipment company TailHigh has revealed the ‘Hybrid Dog Harness’ combining a harness with a leash in one single contraption that saves the trouble of carrying an additional leash and attaching or detaching it to the harness. This innovative dog accessory, with lightweight and retractable tape-type leash extendable up to 5 feet, is designed by BKID. Interestingly, it is made from breathable, soft EVA foam combined with mesh fabric for a comfortable fit. The harness is equipped with a seat belt like two-way-lock safety stop technology, which if the dog pulls the string during an unexpected action, can automatically stop the line even if the owner misses the handle, letting the dog escapes unhurt.

The hybrid dog harness is available in three – small, medium, and large sizes, so it can be applied from small dogs to large ones up to 77lbs. It comes with a Y-shaped chest pad to keep the dog’s chest from compressing in case of unwanted pulls and nudges and also features light-reflective stitching on the chest logo and leash to ensure more visibility in the dark. Available in Sunset Pink, Moss Green and Himalayan Blue colors, the all-in-one leash and harness costs $68.99.

This dog leash fits everything you need in one system – including sound and vibration training!

Posted on by

I quickly realized I would never have a career as a juggler when I started taking my dog out for walks. As a pet owner, you have to hold so many things in your hand – the leash, poop bags, water, etc. and if you have an untrained puppy then you are on juggling level 5000. To make this intense task easier on you and your dog, GoGoLeash has created an all-in-one leash and collar system that not only combines all the items you need to carry but also helps to train your dog using sound! Sounds amazing, right? Then let’s ‘reel it in’.

Right off the bat, GoGoLeash has everything you need to carry in one compact leash system – it has poop bags, is retractable, has a light, is waterproof, includes a seatbelt, and also a water tank! This is like Jarvis for your pet. An amazing feature that makes it a smart leash is that it enables you to train four dogs at a time with the same tool by simply switching the training modes that are customized to each of them. “We provide you multi-functional dog handles with built-in LED, water tank, poop bag storage, and TWO training modes with a new training collar. Solve all the problems you may have and make your time with your dog more harmonious,” explains the team. The leash handle may look deceptively small but it houses a water bowl and water tank that holds 150 ml of water for your pet. The in-built storage works for holding 15 waste bags at a time and all you need to do is buy refills when you run out because it is universally sized.

The collar has some tech features that really make it stand out in the pet market. Dogs learn through repetition and when they start recognizing a specific sound or even vibration they learn to react to it appropriately – something Ivan Pavlov has proven to us already! The sound training feature lets you easily overlay an audible sound over a known (or learning) verbal command to quickly teach your dog commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “heel.” The GoGoLeash Training System has a maximum range of about 650 feet. The second feature is the vibration collar which was especially included for dogs that may have hearing problems. Vibration is a safe and humane way to work with dogs of any size to help train them, praise them, and correct behavior – it is a feature that was meant to be inclusive for hearing-impaired pets but can be used universally. It is ergonomically designed and durable so you can be a crazy dog person who wants to have five pups and walk them at the same time!

A Dog Leash for Dummies

Posted on by

ulead_00

A dog that pulls can be a drag! When it comes to walking, we often think it’s the animal that needs training when it’s really the human. Designed with this in mind, the U-Lead Dog Leash helps correct owner behavior.

The problem is often that owners allow their pet to lead which reinforces the behavior. The U-Lead leash reveals a red strip the moment the dog begins to pull. This serves as a visual warning to the owner and encourages them to stop and correct the behavior before moving on, thereby reinforcing positive, patterned leash practices.
