DOG LEADS General Chat

I was finding it more & more difficult to find a decent dog lead with a good strong trigger clip, as the name disc were getting caught on trigger clip pulling it open & I was left holding just the lead while my dogs were walking free down the street, so now I use horse lead ropes with an wednesbury clip which means I can now breath easier every time I go out, knowing my dogs will not be walking free down the street anymore.

These lead ropes comes in 1 meter - 1 1/2 meters - 2 meters & 3 meters lengths, they also come in different thickness too (shire horse down to Shetland pony thickness) I use the shire horse thickness leads in the rescue home when walking the powerful mastiffs & newfoundland type dogs, I use the Shetland pony thickness ones on the puppies & the little Pomeranian X Chihuahua that's in the rescue home.

I just answered your post in the yellow ribbon thread .. where do you buy these from they look really good

The wednesbury clip lead ropes I got from Viovets they on Facebook & on line
The awareness harnesses collars & leads are being sold on Amazon & Ebay

Thank you. I have an ebay account so will have a look for them.

I recently bought a Bergen EZ Steps Coupler lead for my two as I want to walk them together but because I sometimes need to use a stick I only want to hold the lead in one hand. So far I haven't tried it with both dogs because at 8 months old, Georgina's still a "work in progress" and still finds it difficult to walk in a straight line. Its brilliant though when I walk her alone and she starts to pull like a chuffer train because the lead acts like a shock absorber and takes the strain off my arm. The other thing I like about it is that I can detach the hand loop and clip it onto her harness if for any reason I need to keep her very close to me.

It wasn't cheap at £27. I bought mine online from www.fleecedogharnesses.co.uk

i used to have these. quite soft in your hand awell so dont rub or hurt like other leads

l tried a couple of the horses lead ropes but found them to 'springy for me, l decided to make my own from 'boat rope' and they have lasted years .

They look great - love the colours too. I like the Halti training leads - they are really soft but strong.

Do like the fleece harnesses & coats will have to send K9's girth size to them as he's 21inches girth, 16inch neck & is 17 inch from neck to tail.
