Active lifestyles have increased in popularity alongside dog ownership for many consumers, so the Ruffwear Trail Runner System has been created as a way to ensure athletic owners are always prepared for time outside with their canine companion.
The belt-like design of the unit is intended to be worn around the waist of the runner or hiker with the expanding lead attached to the dog. This enables them to walk, run or hike freely without having to worry that their dog will wander off to keep them safe as they explore outdoor areas.
The Ruffwear Trail Runner System also integrates a quick-release functionality, a water-resistant pouch for storing small essentials and a water bottle to keep hydration on hand for owner and dog.
