Give your dog freedom to roam safely while you're camping! The Ruffwear Knot-a-Hitch is a dog-tethering system that gives your dog freedom to sniff & explore while you're setting up camp, cooking dinner or relaxing in the evening.

Designed with car and caravan camping in mind, the Knot-a-Hitch system by Ruffwear uses climbing-inspired parts & hardware.

Key Features of the Ruffwear Knot-a-Hitch

Strong, 7mm reflective Kernmantle Rope that's 8.7m long - it can be set up between two trees or secured to a single post- the rope is strong, supple and reflective
An easy-to-use, 'auto-locking' tensioning system similar to what rock climbers use. It is quick to set up.
A secure, locking carabiner to secure your dog's leash to - the carabiner moves freely up & down the line. Plus it swivels so your dog's leash is kept twist & tangle free (note: leash is sold separately)
Convenient and durable stow bag for easy storage. You can also use the bag to store excess rope tails if you don't need the full length of 8.7m rope.

Ruffwear have tested the strength of each component and field-tested it with different sized dogs ranging from small pups like Jack Russell Terriers to large dogs like Huskies.

Length: 28.5 ft (8.7 m)
Stow Bag: 6 in x 7 in x 2 in (16 cm x 18.5 cm x 5 cm)

It's just what I wanted and needed. I have a begal hound and so having her stay close by is hard when we doing day trips and stopping for lunch. This is fantastic as I can put it up between two trees and she can go backwards and forwards to sniff and not get in the way. I can sit and relax that she is not going to run off after a scent. She can't chew it so that's a big relief. Look forward to overnight trips to really get the full experience.

Awesome for Camping!

Super super easy to put up and the caribener slides really nicely across the rope for pup to move around freely!

Ruffwear martingale collar

I am very happy with this collar which I purchased for my whippet. The quality is great.

Fitting and Rugged.

Bought the medium size for our groodle Max. it fits him well and doesn't restrict his movement. I would love if it had a removable harness handle. I've made one out of paracord but I think having one built in would be a nice touch. The corral colour looks cool :)

Excellent

Even better than I hoped for. Leaves the other ones I’ve used in the dust. Very comfortable.

Ruffwear Flagline Dog Harness - Lightweight, Back Handle

Loving our Ruffwear harness!

We are very happy with our purchase.Rummy is feeling comfortable in his new harness which is easy to fit and put on and keeps him safe and comfortable on his walks. It’s durable and easily washed with quality fittings.

100%happy

My Whippy Jet is loving the freedom to walk without his neck feeling restricted. The harness is incredibly great quality and looks fabulous. I receive so many compliments.

Well made and well thought out

The harness is flexible and seems comfortable, the design allows for a spread of any force rather than putting pressure on the front of the neck, and I particularly appreciate the material extending beneath the clips so I can snap them closed without catching my dog’s very fine fur in them, or my fingers!

Well made and comfortable for dogs

Skye loves it, she can sleep and wear it all day comfortable. It is super light but strong as she tends to pull when excited. Other brands I've had causes her to wheeze due to her pulling as the harnesses would place pressure on the chest unevenly. Don't have this problem now, it's wonderful, highly recommend.
