Hi Gretchen.
Try Julie Johnson, who is on this list.  Her company is onthego.com.  You
can go straight there, or through the Blindmice Megamall.
Julie has hands-free leashes, and is good at customizing as well.

Subject: [NAGDU] hands free leashes

Hello, I am a student who will be interning in a healthcare setting
soon. I was wondering if any of you had ideas for hands free leashes.
I will sometimes need both hands for certain tasks, such as
transfering a patient. I realize that I could put my dog on tiedown,
but I don't want to risk someone uncliping her. Someone might assume
she is a therapy dog, and unclip her without me knowing. I still want
her to be attached to me in some way, as she is a curious dog, I have
only had her for about 6 months. I have worked with her on stay, and
she does decent with this, but struggles when she is in distracting
invironments. Plus, there is the fact that if she doesn't stay, since
I would not be holding the leash, I would not be able to give her a
correction unless I caught her. I know they make hands free leashes,
but I need something that can still be used in conjuncion with her
working leash, as I might not always have the time to change leashes.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance, Gretchen Brown
