If your dog pulls, lunges, or simply has the strength of a freight train, your walk-wear isn’t just an accessory—it’s your safety line. And yet, many dog owners don’t realise that most dog harnesses, collars and leads on the market have never been strength tested. At Wyld Cub, safety isn’t an afterthought. It’s where we start.
What Does Strength Testing Mean?
Strength testing is the process of putting dog walk-wear through rigorous mechanical tests within a controlled lab to simulate real-world force and tension. It’s how we ensure your harness won’t snap during a sudden pull, or your lead won’t give out during a stressful moment.
At Wyld Cub, our products are independently tested in the UK to BS 5131-5.11:1981 standards. This is the benchmark used to determine how much force a harness, collar, or lead can safely withstand. The result? Durable, dependable walk-wear you can trust.
Why It Matters More Than You Think
-
Not All Gear Is Created Equal: Most walk-wear sold online is untested. Pretty? Sure. Safe? Not always.
-
Large or Reactive Dog? Strength-tested products are essential if your dog pulls, is unpredictable, or strong.
-
Emergency Moments: The gear you choose could make the difference between control and chaos.
Don’t Be Fooled by Labels
Products listed as "durable", "strong," or "tough" without verified testing are simply marketing words. If a product claims to be strength-tested, check this testing is done by a verified third-party in country it's sold, not simply in-house testing. A company should always be able to provide their testing results. See our guide on choosing the Right Dog Harness for Strength and Safety
