This hand made piece of K9 gear will be ready within 4 weeks.
A hands-free, quick release and adjustable leash that attaches to a belt or hard point.
This was designed based off our experience working in Helicopters, CQB environments and confined spaces where you need your K9 close by. It will help avoid tangles, control proximity to other operators as well as give the ability to adapt to an ever changing environment.
It can also be easily utilised to train a close heel or maintain control in crowded places.
If not in use, tuck it away in a pocket and utilise other equipment until the Dynamic Hard Strop is needed.

Before purchase, ensure your dog can stand up and lay down based on the measurements of the Dynamic Hard Strop sizes.
Ensure the ring you will be attaching the Dynamic Hard Strop to is appropriate for the attachment you choose. The Snap Clip (3rd image) has an inbuilt swivel, whilst the Kong Frog Clip option (2nd pic) has a swivel offset roughly a fist width from the clip (4th image).
Choose your attachment option which will be found at the handler end. This will attach to your belt or be held.
We have a quick release option (right) for those who want to rapidly deploy their K9 in emergency situations.
There are 2 attachment options for the belt. You can cat's paw/hitch the end (left) to a hard point such a belt (recommended).
Alternatively, just loop the entire end over your belt before doing it up (right).
Once attached to your belt you can shorten or lengthen the Dynamic Hard Strop to suit the environment or the threat situation. The Dynamic Hard Strop was designed for CQB environments or inside confined spaces such as rotary wing aircraft.
It can also be used for control in crowds, teaching a heel or simply moving around with your dog.
Pull the gripped handle to reduce the length of the Dynamic Hard Strop (left) and lift the paracord toggle (right) to loosen.
Once adjusted, you can store the excess material by using the Velcro on the gripped handle to attach just above the adjustment toggle.
To use the quick release function and rapidly deploy your K9:
1. First grip the shrink wrapped handle (left)
2. Pull away from the belt with a quick but firm tug (centre)
3. Release the pull tab to avoid the Dynamic Hard Strop getting caught (right)
You can close the snap shackle to avoid excess noise and movement or you can leave it open in anticipation of re-attaching to your K9.
