Our leads are made of high-quality 8mm rope used by professionals, due to their high-quality (stainless steel fixings), light-weight, durability, and weather-resistant, making them floatable and quick to dry. The rope material is soft, so that it doesn’t rub on your dog’s nose, but you must use gentle corrections to ensure your dog doesn’t get hurt. Using praise and treats to encourage your dog to be by your side and not in front will also speed up training and get your dog used to it quicker.
