DEFENDER Dog Training Collars & Leashes | Ritega

Defender program

Defender program

We developed the Defender program with a single goal – to offer maximum reliability and control over your dog. The foundation of our production consists of the most durable materials on the market, which we combine with certified components from world leaders. For our tactical and training collars as well as extremely strong dog leashes, we exclusively use patented AustriAlpin Cobra buckles and Frog safety carabiners from the Italian company Kong.

We have infused each product with our years of experience in professional dog training. That's why both our classic and adjustable leashes feature a special rubberized surface that does not slip even in the rain. Furthermore, collars and leashes are equipped with strategically placed handles (so-called "close control"). These details allow for a lightning-fast and firm reaction in any critical situation.

Although the Defender line is primarily designed for extreme loads in sport and service kynology, it has become a favorite among everyday dog owners for its superior safety. If you have a powerhouse at home and are looking for a truly reliable leash for large dogs for daily walks, you have just found it.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Defender Line (FAQ)

Is Defender gear suitable for extremely strong dogs?
Yes, it was developed exactly for them. If you are looking for a reliable collar for a bull type dog, molosser, or German Shepherd, you are in the right place. We use high-capacity polypropylene webbing, and every carabiner and buckle is designed to handle the sudden jerks of the strongest breeds.
What is the "Traffic Handle" on the leash used for?
It is a safety feature – a second loop placed right next to the carabiner. This handle allows you to instantly keep your dog close (e.g., at a crosswalk, when passing another dog, or during protection training) without having to wrap the webbing around your hand.
Why are Frog carabiners and Cobra buckles better?
They are the absolute world leaders in safety. The Cobra buckle (on the collar) has a tensile strength of up to 18 kN and cannot be opened under tension. The Frog carabiner (on the leash) snaps automatically upon contact with a ring and allows for a lightning-fast release of the dog, even when wearing gloves.
Won't the rubberized leash cut into my hands?
On the contrary. The rubberization ensures the leash doesn't slip through your hand. Because of this, you don't need to grip it tightly; a gentle hold is enough. The material is very comfortable and remains grippy even in wet or snowy conditions.
Do you make bungee leashes or multi-way versions?
Yes! In the Defender line, you will find both a multi-functional adjustable dog leash and a special bungee leash (with shock absorber), which effectively cushions impacts and saves your back if your dog suddenly lunges forward.
