“Really happy with the rope lead. The clip is brilliant and really easy to use. Great colour. Really sturdy. Would buy again, but I doubt I will have to replace it, for a long time, as it seems really sturdy.

Sick of Heavy, Bulky Leads That Get in the Way?

Chunky leads can feel like you're towing a caravan behind your dog. These aren’t that. Built from durable PPM rope, they’re impressively strong but barely there in the hand.

Here’s how we keep things light but reliable:

  • Lightweight rope that won’t weigh your walk down.
  • 8 mm or 10 mm leash thickness options to match your dog’s size.
  • Feels nimble and compact even at longer lengths.

Fed Up With Gear That Can’t Handle the Weather?

Walks don’t stop for rain, and your gear shouldn’t either. PPM rope shrugs off moisture, resists UV, and doesn’t soak or sag after a muddy walk.

Why our rope leads are built for the outdoors:

  • Water-repellent rope that dries quickly.
  • Doesn’t hold odours or get mouldy.
  • Keeps its shape in heat, cold or rain.

Leads That Hurt Your Hands? No Thanks.

Rough webbing and cheap plastic handles turn into blisters fast. Our rope leads are soft to the touch and smooth through your hand, even with a dog that pulls.

Comfort you’ll notice on the very first walk:

  • PPM rope with a smooth, dry feel (not sticky or rough).
  • Rounded edges that move naturally with your grip.
  • Gentle tightening with the slip version, no harsh jerks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer custom colours for the rope dog leads?

Yes. Mix and match between 24 rope colours, 44 whipping shades, and your choice of hardware.

Are these leads strong enough for big or strong dogs?

Yes. Available in 8 mm or 10 mm rope with heavy-duty stitching and hardware, these rope dog leashes will handle big dogs and strong pullers.

How do I clean my handmade rope dog lead?

Just rinse the lead with fresh water and hang to air dry. PPM rope resists mildew and dries quickly, so no machine washing needed.

How long are these rope dog leads?

Lengths range from 1.2 m up to our longest dog leash which is 2.1 m. That gives you options from compact control to loose countryside walks.

Will the rope lead handles cause rope burn?

No. PPM rope leashes are soft and smooth. The vegan-leather stopper prevents unwanted movement, keeping the rope secure in place.

What’s the difference between the rope clip lead and slip lead styles?

Slip leads loop over the head and tighten gently. Clip leads fasten to your collar using a sturdy clasp. Choose what suits your routine.

Yes. The leash has a durable trigger clasp which works with standard collar rings and rope collars.
