harnesses for Ari and my fourth lead (not counting an extendable one I bought in error early doors and ended up giving away) arrived today I thought it might be fun 
/ scary 
to hear how many of us are dog equipment obsessives (not sure if I am yet but I can see myself going that way ...)I've had Ted 6 months now and have managed to collect so far (ignoring harnesses he grew out of):
2 harnesses:
- a puppia step in vest I use when he doesn't need a coat and for when he's in the car with his car seat
- another puppia harness that fits nicely over his coats
4 leads:
- a 4/5ft short lead that I used for puppy classes
- a 6ft Halti double ended lead that can be hooked into many combinations (although I only use it in about two of them
). I walk him on this if he's going off lead or if we're just walking down the street- a 50ft training line (which amuses people no end as he is so small) which I use on the local heath mostly as it is unfenced and surrounded by roads and bike paths. Ted barely notices it's there and working with this has improved his recall no end
- a 20ft training line which arrived today. We're gong to Cornwall in March and I wanted something I can use on the beach if it's busy but isn't as labour intensive as the 50ft line
A bag for when I take him on the train / on long walks where he needs to be carried a way due to his age
A car seat which boosts him up to be able to see out of the window and keeps him safe on journeys. I didn't want him rattling around in a crate as I pretty much weekly do two 3 to 4 hour journeys with him and I wanted to be able to see him so that he was sort of keeping me company on the journey
. I found what is effectively a booster seat that straps to the seat using the car set belt and has it's own seat belt that clips to his harness. It does make him look like a pampered pooch (and maybe his is 
) but he never had any issue with travelling from the first time I used it. He now tends to watch out the window for 10 minutes then goes to sleep and stays that way until the engine is switched off Then there's a dog bed, a bean bag, blankets, two kongs, toys bought and made of various descriptions ...
Ok, ok, I am a dog equipment obsessive, perhaps this thread will be dangerous as I'll start obsessing over things you guys have
