What is the difference between a slip lead and a clip lead?
A slip lead combines a lead and collar in one and slips over your dog’s head. A clip lead attaches to an existing collar or harness using a metal clasp. Both styles are available in this handmade rope collection.
Are the leads waterproof or weather resistant?
Yes. The PPM rope is weather resistant and quick drying, making it ideal for all-weather walks, muddy trails, and beach days. It won't absorb moisture or odours.
How strong are these handmade rope dog leads?
Each lead is made from durable PPM rope with a high breaking load. The rope is stitched and bound with heavy-duty thread before whipping, ensuring it is strong enough for daily use, even with strong pullers.
Can I customise the colour and style of my lead?
Yes. You can choose from over 20 rope colours and more than 40 whipping shades, plus a range of hardware finishes. Each lead is handmade to your specifications for a unique and personalised look.
What length should I choose for my dog?
Choose from 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m, or 2.1m depending on your dog’s walking habits and your training needs. Shorter leads offer more control while longer leads give more freedom for relaxed walks.
What type of hardware is available?
All leads are available with your choice of Brass, Stainless Steel, Rose Gold, Black, or White clasps and rings. Each option is strong, rust resistant, and selected for both style and durability.
Are these rope leads suitable for puppies?
Yes. The smooth and lightweight rope is gentle on young dogs’ necks and easy to handle. Slip leads are ideal for basic training, while clip leads pair well with harnesses for extra comfort.
Is the slip lead safe to use for training?
When used correctly, slip leads are an effective tool for training heel and recall commands. The built-in Biothane stopper keeps the loop in place and prevents the lead from becoming too loose or tight.
How do I care for and clean my rope lead?
You can rinse the lead in warm water and gently hand wash with mild soap if needed. The rope dries quickly and resists mildew, keeping it fresh after outdoor adventures.
Are these leads handmade in the UK?
Yes. Every lead is handmade to order in Yorkshire, using premium materials and traditional techniques. Each lead is stitched, bound, and finished with care to create a strong, stylish product made to last.
