Leaving your dog unattended, even for just a minute, can be nerve-wracking. That’s exactly why we created DOGLOC, the world's first cut-resistant, lockable leash and collar system. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, running errands, or pausing during a walk, DOGLOC helps ensure your pup stays safe and secure, even when you step away.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use DOGLOC, explain how it works, and answer your most common questions about our anti-theft dog leash and collar set.

What Makes DOGLOC Different?

✅ Cut-Resistant Core

DOGLOC features a reinforced stainless-steel cable hidden inside the leash. This cut-resistant core is engineered to deter theft and can’t be easily sliced by common tools like scissors or knives, a critical defence in high-risk areas.

🔒 Patented Locking System

Our patented lockable clasp (Australian patent application no. 2024267778) transforms DOGLOC into a secure tether that can’t be unclipped or removed without a key. Once locked, the leash and collar become a unified, tamper-resistant system, and only you hold the key.

🇦🇺 Designed by Australian Dog Owners

DOGLOC was created by Australian product engineers and dog parents who know what it’s like to worry about leaving your dog while popping into a shop. It’s been rigorously tested and proudly selected as a Finalist in the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA).

How to Use DOGLOC in 4 Easy Steps

  1. Put on the Collar: Secure the DOGLOC collar around your dog’s neck. It fits like a regular collar; soft, adjustable, and made from premium full-grain leather.
  2. Clip the Leash to a Fixed Object: Loop the leash around a secure object like a pole, bench, or post.
  3. Attach the Lockable Clasp: Click the clasp onto the collar ring. Insert your key and turn to lock. It’s now secured and can’t be removed without your key.
  4. Go Hands-Free, Worry-Free: Run your errand knowing your dog is safely secured. To unlock, simply reverse the key.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the DOGLOC leash be cut?

Not with everyday tools like scissors or a knife. DOGLOC is lined with a concealed stainless-steel cable that makes it highly cut-resistant and theft-deterring.

Can someone unlock it without the key?

Not possible. The patented lockable clasp cannot be opened without the supplied key, offering peace of mind when you step away.

What if I lose the key?

Every set includes two keys. We recommend keeping one on your keychain and storing the spare safely. A locksmith can cut a duplicate if needed.

Can I still use a harness?

Yes! Clip the leash to a harness for regular walks. Use the DOGLOC collar when you need to lock and leave your dog safely.
