Product Description

HomeGrown Trilogy’s To Have and NOT to Hold ®™ Hipster Hands-Free Dog Training Lead System

One of our favorite authors, Ted Kerasote, wrote in one of his beautiful books, …lessons were not about training, but about partnership. They were never about method; they were about attitude. And at the heart of this attitude is a person’s willingness to loosen a dog’s leash — in all aspects of its life — and, whenever practical, to take off its leash completely, allowing the dog to learn on its own, following its nose and run FREE… Because of such a wonderful positive impact Kerasote has had on us in so many ways but mostly by allowing the dog its supervised freedom and always allowing him to explore and to experience its zest for life.  Because of our love for our dogs, we wanted to create dog gear that will allow our dogs that sense of freedom.  We would like to introduce our new to the marketplace dog gear.

The second product is our To Have and NOT to Hold ®™ Hipster Hands-Free Dog Training Lead System for our puppies.   Our intention was to create a training tool for our puppies that will allow you to train the puppy while your hands are free from holding the lead.  The puppy thinks that the trainer’s hands are restricting them as the normal leash is attached to your hand and to the puppy so this idea of having a lead still attached to the pup while being comfortably attached to your hip, is a good tool for both the puppy and the trainer. A long beautiful lead that will allow the puppy to be with you all the time while you are training him with some silent and visual hand signals/commands and also to allow your hands-free to carry on with your daily routine :*)  This new innovative lead will be 6 feet in length but will also house the bungee cord to extend another foot when needed.  The best part is that the lead will adjust comfortably around your hips and/or waist.  It can also be used around your hand but for training purposes it is best worn around your hips to have your hands are free while training your pup.

We selected ribbon /webbing  for both products that is unisex and will look great on either our chocolate labs or our light honey goldens.  All the side-release buckles, Talon Clips, D rings, fasteners, Adjusters, etc are all made out of plastic or aluminum so they will never rust and they are a lighter weight metal.  All the metal pieces are engraveable so we took the opportunity to engrave our company logo there so we are always with you!

We just love these innovative – functional designs and we think you will too… The collars are suitable for an adult labrador, golden retriever or any large breed dog. The leads are good training tools for any puppy and/or dog.

Please see our offerings above.

Our aim here at HGT is to better the breed and to produce puppies who are jolly-happy and healthy. Now our intention is to ensure all our HGT pups are always safe and enjoy their supervised freedom!

We wanted to include this quote from Mark Twain – that we live our life by…

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn’t do – than by the one you did do.”

This is why we feel so strongly about a dog gear product that we always knew we needed, but “time” held us back … that is until now.  Please call, email or comment – we would love to hear from you.
