Touring Double vs Security Strap WD: Which Dog Leash Setup?

Compare the Touring double leash splitter and the Security strap WD: one walks two dogs, the other gives a single dog a short, heavy-duty control leash. Choose by dog count and task.
Quick answer
Choose the Touring double if you regularly walk two dogs together and want one handle to manage both. Choose the Security strap WD if you handle one dog and need a short, heavy-duty leash for close control in fieldwork or travel.
Two dogs versus one dog changes the whole setup
The Touring double is a leash splitter: it takes one leash line and divides it between two dogs. That solves a specific problem — tangled separate leashes and two handles in your hands — but it also means both dogs share one connection point and one handler.
The Security strap WD is a short dog leash built for maximum control and reliability in fieldwork and travel. It is not a splitter and does not manage a second dog. If you walk two dogs, you would need a second leash or a different pairing.
Size and color options matter differently
Both products come in two sizes and multiple colors, but size does different work here. On the Touring double, size affects how the splitter fits your pair of dogs and your main leash. On the Security strap WD, size affects the short leash's fit for close handling.
The catalog does not list leash length, webbing width, or weight for either product, so do not assume a specific drop length or hardware rating. Check the size chart and product page before ordering, especially if you are matching the Touring double to an existing leash system.
The trade-off: shared control versus close control
A splitter like the Touring double gives you one-handed management of two dogs, which is useful on shared walks. The trade-off is that each dog has less independent range and you cannot give one dog a short correction without affecting the other.
The Security strap WD gives you a short, heavy-duty connection for one dog, which suits fieldwork and travel where you want the dog close. The trade-off is that it does not solve two-dog walking at all, and it is not a replacement for a standard-length walking leash.
Decision rules for each setup
- You walk two dogs together: Pick the Touring double. It splits one leash between two dogs, so you manage one handle instead of two. Confirm the size fits both dogs and your existing leash. If your dogs pull in opposite directions, a splitter will not fix that; train loose-leash walking first.
- You handle one dog in fieldwork or travel: Pick the Security strap WD. The short heavy-duty leash keeps the dog close for control and reliability. Match the size to your handling style. This is a close-control leash, not a general walking leash; keep a standard leash for everyday walks.
- You want hands-free canicross or trail running: Neither product is a hands-free belt or bungee system. The Touring double is a splitter and the Security strap WD is a short control leash, so a hands-free setup needs a different base leash or belt. Decide on your main leash system first, then add a splitter or control strap only if it fits that system.
