Black Traffic Handle for Confident City Walking

Perfect for close-quarters control, the Black Waterproof Biothane Traffic Handle transforms challenging situations into confident walks. From road crossings to crowded events, this short lead gives you immediate response when space is tight. We produce each traffic handle with precision in Yorkshire using durable PVC/TPU-coated Biothane that won't stretch, sag, or stiffen.

Training Session Frustrations

Need immediate response during training exercises? Long leads create communication delays between you and your dog. This traffic handle eliminates slack, providing instant feedback for heel work, positioning exercises, and close-control training. Professional trainers choose short handles for precision work where every centimetre matters.

Cleaning: We do not recommend putting Biothane in the washing machine. All you need to do is wipe the surface with a damp towel, baby wipe, or sanitizing wipe. Most of the time you won't even need to clean it, but if it's wet or your dog has dragged it through the mud, we would advise giving the collar a clean.

About Biothane: Biothane is a durable, waterproof material that's naturally resistant to dirt, odours, and bacteria. Its non-porous surface makes it incredibly easy to maintain and perfect for active dogs.

Maintenance Tips: Simply wipe clean as needed - no special products or treatments required. The material is designed to stay looking fresh with minimal care.

What is a traffic handle and when should I use one?

A traffic handle is a short lead designed for greater control in busy or high-distraction environments. It is ideal for navigating crowds, crossing roads, or keeping a strong dog close at heel.

How long is the Biothane traffic handle?

Our traffic handles measure approximately 35 centimetres in total length, including the clasp. This provides a close but comfortable range of movement for your dog.

Is the Biothane traffic handle waterproof?

Yes. The handle is made from PVC/TPU-coated Biothane which is fully waterproof, rot-proof, mud-proof, and smell-resistant. It is perfect for wet walks or muddy conditions and is quick to rinse clean.

What width should I choose: 20mm or 25mm?

Both widths are durable and strong. Choose 20mm for a lighter, more flexible feel, or 25mm for added strength and grip when walking larger or stronger dogs.

Is it comfortable to hold?

Yes. Biothane has a soft, leather-like feel that is smooth and comfortable in the hand. It stays comfortable to grip even in wet weather and does not absorb moisture.

What hardware options are available?

You can choose from Brass, Rose Gold, Stainless Steel, Antique Brass, or Black hardware. All are rust-resistant and strong, giving you reliable performance with a choice of style.

Is the traffic handle compatible with all collars and harnesses?

Yes. The snap hook attaches securely to any standard D-ring collar or harness. It pairs perfectly with any Collared Creatures collar from our Biothane range.

How do I clean the traffic handle?

Simply rinse under warm water or wipe clean with a damp cloth. For heavy dirt or mud, a bit of mild soap works well. Biothane is non-porous, so it does not trap dirt or smells.

Are the traffic handles handmade in the UK?

Yes. All of our Biothane traffic handles are handmade to order in Yorkshire, England using premium quality materials and hardware for lasting durability and style.

Real Biothane coated webbing. Zero smell. Zero soak. Maximum control.

Why Biothane for our dog leads?

Because you need a lead that will not smell, will not stay wet, will not fray and will not give up when your dog really pulls. BioThane is a polyester webbing encapsulated in a tough thermoplastic coating. That makes it fully waterproof, odour resistant, extremely strong and effortless to clean.

What you will feel and notice:

No lingering odour. River water, mud and city grime rinse straight off. Smells do not sink in.

Wipe clean in seconds. A quick rinse or cloth and it looks new again. No drying time.

Serious strength for real dogs. The internal webbing delivers high tensile strength. We pair it with locking, swivel equipped metal hardware so accidental unclipping is not on the cards.

Comfortable handle. Smooth, flexible and kind to your hands compared to bare nylon that can burn when a dog lunges.

Colour that lasts. UV resistant pigments keep brights bright and blacks deep after years of sun and washing.

Vegan friendly. The look and structure of leather without animal products or leather maintenance.

What is Biothane, exactly

A patented coated webbing that combines a polyester core for strength with a waterproof thermoplastic outer for durability, hygiene and easy care.

Design that blends simplicity with engineering


Load is carried by industrial strength webbing and welded, locking hardware. Stress points are box stitched or riveted. Reflective accents are available for low light safety.

Care could not be easier

Rinse. Wipe. Done. No smell. No soaking. No waiting for it to dry on the radiator.

In short: A Biothane dog lead gives you practicality every single walk. No stink. No soak. No fray. Just a strong, good looking lead that is ready to go again five minutes after the muddiest hike.
