Nice Leather Leash?

cassadee7 · 02-27-2011, 12:52 AM

I am looking for a place to buy a nice leather leash, probably just a 4' for now. I have been using a skinny little nylon cheapo thing I had for my toy breed dog, but wow, if Saber decides to pull for any reason it rips my hands to shreds! (Yes we are making progress on the pulling but I really need something softer on my hands!) Suggestions where to get something decent?

Also is rolled better than flat, or is it just a matter of personal preference?

I like rolled leather for collars, flat for leashes.

I love leashes from here J and J Dog Supplies: Leather Dog Leashes

Matter of personal preference. I also happen to prefer the flat for leash, rolled for collar. THIS is my FAVORITE leash right now. I just ordered another one so I have one for each of the boys. *love* it.

I often get stuff here:

Schutzhund equipment, Police k9 equipment supplier , dog equipment, dog harness

High-quality stuff at competitive prices. Redline-K9 is their in-house brand. Most of it they manufacture themselves.

Ralph, the owner, is one of Canada's top trainers/competitors and we often have him come here for seminars. Super-nice guy! (Except he keeps calling me Lucinda - LOL).

I like the New Skete leather leashes,

I like Redline-K9, have quiet a few items by them bought from both websites mentioned here. I also like Bridgeport equipment for their prices, and Leerburg and Ray Allen for some stuff I need as well.

As of note, I would not buy a 4' leash because you actually need 6' to teach your pup not to pull.

I wouldn't get a 4fter either, I "may" use one when i want them walking close but after they are adult size..

I LOVE my biothane leashes, I don't like wide leashes either, I like thinner, usually 1/2-3/4 of an inch, makes it for easier looping of excess.

You can do a search on biothane leashes and get just about any length you wish

For something around 4', you can get the convertible lead J and J Dog Supplies: Convertible Service Dog Leash

I have 2 of them and they're my most used leashes. I love them! You can make it a regular lead with handle, a lead with a large over the shoulder loop, or short lead.

Really, 6'? I was wondering if I even needed a 3'. What I am trying to do is have her in a loose heel, walking right next to me on the left side on our walks. The leash I have now is 4' and has slack that hangs down a bit across me. She actually does very well when we are actually walking and I can loosen it up.

The pulling happens when we are going out to potty, sometimes, or if I have our other dog out with us she wants to pull over to play with him. Or in stores. In stores, when we first go in, she pulls a lot.

How do I use the 6' to teach her not to pull? Thank you for the guidance.

My leashes are 3/8" and the ones I use to potty mine are only 3' but they're both full grown and rather tall.
