How to Thread the Leash Through the Wolf Stride System™

One of the most unique parts of the Wolf Stride System™ is how the leash routes through the backpack.

Instead of holding the leash in your hand, the system uses built-in routing channels to guide the leash through the pack. This keeps the leash connected to you while allowing your hands to remain free.

Once you understand the setup, threading the leash takes only a few seconds.

Below is a step-by-step guide showing exactly how the system works.

Step-by-Step: How the Leash Threads Through the System

Step 1 — Thread the Primary Leash

Start by threading the primary, 6ft. leash through the shoulder strap channels on the backpack.

The primary leash forms the foundation of the hands-free system.

Step 2 — Thread the Leash Through the Top Guide

Next, route the leash through the top guide loop on the neck section of the backpack.

This guide helps direct the leash into the routing channel down through the opposite shoulder strap.

Step 3 — Route the Leash Through the Back Channel

Continue threading the leash through the back routing channel of the pack.

This guides the leash across the back panel so it exits on the opposite side.

Step 4 — Connect the Secondary Leash

Once the primary leash exits the backpack, drop the clip through the ring and attach the secondary leash.

The secondary leash connects to your dog’s collar or harness and allows you to adjust distance depending on your activity.

Why the System Uses Two Leashes

The Wolf Stride System™ uses two leash sections to create a flexible setup.

Primary Leash

• Always use a 6ft. Leash as the Primary leash

• Routes through the backpack

• Connects you to the system

Secondary Leash

• Clips to the primary leash

• Connects to your dog

• Allows adjustable working distance

This setup allows the system to adapt to different environments and activities.

Choosing the Right Secondary Leash Length

Selecting the correct secondary leash length helps determine the length that your dog is allowed to go out on.

General guideline:

3 ft Secondary Leash
Recommended for heal work and high traffic areas

4-5 ft Secondary Leash
Recommended for neighborhood walks and trails

These recommendations help create appropriate spacing between you and your dog during use.

Designed for Hands-Free Movement

Once threaded, the system allows you to walk with your dog while keeping your hands free.

This can make it easier to:

• Carry essentials

• Take photos

• Reward your dog

• Navigate different terrain

Everything works together as one organized setup.
