“This is the second collar and lead bought from Collared Creatures. I would not buy from anywhere else, the only reason we are now on our second is that we wanted a colour change. Even after nearly 4 years the original lead and collar are still in excellent condition.”

Dog Leads - Frequently Asked Questions

What type of dog lead is best for my dog?

That really depends on your dog’s personality (and let’s be honest, their walking manners!). Our Biothane leads are perfect for mucky pups who love a splash, while rope leads are sturdy and reliable for those strong pullers. If you’re after something a little more stylish for city strolls or countryside walks, our tweed leads tick both boxes. There's something for every dog and their human.

Are your leads suitable for strong or reactive dogs?

Yes. Our rope and Biothane dog leads are particularly popular with owners of strong or energetic dogs. They're tough, secure, and give you that added control when you need it, without being bulky or heavy.

What’s the difference between a slip lead and a traditional lead?

Great question. A slip lead loops over your dog’s head and gently tightens if they pull, which makes it a favourite for training and quick walks. A clip-on lead attaches to your dog’s collar or harness and stays at a fixed length. We offer both styles, so you can choose what feels right for your walking routine.

Can I wash my dog lead?

Definitely. Biothane leads are wipe-clean (a lifesaver after rainy park runs), and our tweed leads Scotch Guarded for added protection and machine washable. We designed them for real dogs, living real lives, mud, puddles, fox poo and all!

How long are your dog leads?

Our leads are generally between 1.2 meters and 1.8 meters, giving your dog enough room to sniff and explore, while still keeping them close. Our clip lead are 1.3 meters long and our slip leads range from 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters long. If you're after something a bit longer or more adjustable, feel free to reach out and we'll do what we can to help.

What’s the best type of dog lead for training?

That depends on your dog and your training style, but we’ve got some great options. Slip leads are brilliant for gently correcting pulling and teaching lead manners. If you want more control over distance during sessions, our Biothane Training Leads adjust to six different lengths and have clips on both ends for multiple configurations. They're durable, waterproof, and easy to wipe clean. A dog trainer’s dream.

How long should a dog lead be for everyday walks?

Most dog owners find that a lead between 1.2 and 1.8 metres (4–6 feet) strikes the perfect balance between freedom and control. A shorter lead keeps things tidy on busy streets, while a slightly longer one gives your dog room to sniff and explore. Our leads fall right in that sweet spot, whether you're doing a quick loop or heading off for a countryside ramble.

Are retractable dog leads a good idea?

They can be useful in some cases, but with a few caveats. Retractable leads give your dog more range, but they can make it harder to react quickly if something unexpected happens, like a cyclist zooming past or a fox darting out of a hedge! They also don’t offer the same control as a fixed-length lead and the thin cord can cause injuries if it wraps around limbs. For better control and safety, we’d recommend one of our sturdy, no-fuss leads instead.

What’s the best material for a dog lead?

It really depends on your dog’s lifestyle; and yours too. At Collared Creatures, we only use materials we’d trust on our own dogs:

  • Biothane leads are a game-changer. They're waterproof, weatherproof, wipe-clean, and super strong. They're ideal for messy adventures, training, and all-weather walks.
  • Rope leads are built for durability and comfort, with a natural grip that’s perfect for stronger dogs (and long Sunday hikes).
  • Harris Tweed dog leads offer that classic British style with a tough, reliable core, because practical doesn’t have to be boring.

No matter which one you choose, every lead is handmade with care right here in the UK.

How do I choose the right lead for my dog’s size and behaviour?

We’ve got a lead for every kind of dog (and every kind of walk). Here's how to decide:

Strong dogs or enthusiastic pullers: our Rope Leads or Waterproof Biothane Leads are ideal. They’re tough, easy to grip, and built to last.

Puppies or smaller breeds; a lightweight Tweed Lead is a great choice—gentle to handle and super stylish.

Training or versatility: our Biothane Training Leads are a top pick. They’re adjustable to six lengths, have clips on both ends, and handle everything from recall training to casual strolls.

Still unsure? We’re always happy to help match you (and your dog) with the perfect fit.
