SANDPOINT, Idaho, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an estimated 50% of dogs and cats in the United States are overweight or obese. One of the best ways to prevent your dog from becoming a scary statistic is to take him on invigorating daily walks. To make walks and runs more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners, now there's the EzyDog Walking System. These unique leashes, handles and harnesses were invented by EzyDog, a company focused on combining the best in sports technology with pet accessories.

According to John Hatcher of EzyDog, "As a company of avid sports and dog lovers, we created dog leashes and harnesses with a whole new twist to provide more comfort for both the dog and its owner."
Hatcher adds that EzyDog leashes focus specifically on grip and leash control. Thanks to their shock absorbing technology and advanced ergonomic design, these leashes are making dog walking easier for a wide range of pet owners -- from athletic skateboarders to elderly arthritis sufferers.
EzyDog offers a variety of innovative products engineered with both dogs and owners in mind, including:
The Pyramid Pull System Handle (basically a cut-down water ski handle) eliminates pinching and distributes the dog's weight across the hand for maximum control.
EzyDog Shock Absorbing Leashes feature comfort grip and durable polypropylene twine boasting a tested 1,500 lb. break strength - the same components used in competition water skiing. A commercial-grade shock cord is used to soften the blow of the occasional jerk or lunge, while maintaining firm control. A reflective strand spanning the entire length of the leash is incorporated for nighttime safety.
These leashes are available in three different shock absorbing levels, depending on the dog's size and ferocity of pull. All models have separate extension options for extending the leash to different lengths or for walking two dogs on one leash without tangling. These models include:
The Cujo features the unique pyramid handle and a tight, short stretch that gives the owner the most comfort and control over dogs that pull hard. It's great for city dwellers with medium to large dogs.
The Mutley is similar to the Cujo, except that it's constructed of soft, waterproof Neoprene. The soft, round Neoprene handle is perfect for slipping over the wrist or holding in the hand. It's ideal for joggers and bikers.
The Mongrel is optimal for crowded areas and for use in training medium to larger dogs. The design of the Mongrel positions the dog comfortably at the owner's side.
The EzyDog Dog Harness features an EVA Chest Plate. EVA is a foam rubber that will form to the dog's chest for a safe and comfortable fit. The chest plate is designed to evenly disperse the load, helping the owner maintain control.
EzyDog shock absorbing leashes are available in Blue, Red, Black, Chocolate, Green Camouflage, Pink Camouflage and Arctic Camouflage. The leashes retail from $17.00 to $26.00. Matching harnesses are also available from $20.00 to $29.00.
EzyDog also offers canine backpacks and life vests for dogs that love adventure. For more information or to learn where to purchase EzyDog products, please call 1-877-339-9364 (877-3EzyDog) or visit www.ezydog.com .
