Which handle is best?

This is based soley on user preference. Look at how you currently hold your leash.

If you hold the end of the loop, then choose the Triangle Handle. If you put your hand through the loop, as pictured here, then choose the Rivet Handle.
 

What length is best?

Most leashes, bought at pet stores, are 4 feet long.  This length is great if your dog is small or well trained and never pulls.  So start with a 3 to 4 foot leash and,
Go shorter if:

  • Your dog is not trained or you are still training your dog
  • Your dog is big
  • Your dog still pulls
  • You live in an urban environment
  • You walk primarily on sidewalks and trails with other people and dogs

Go longer if:

  • Your dog is trained to walk on a leash without pulling
  • You live in a rural environment
  • You walk on wide trails or roads
  • You walk mostly in places without other people or animals
  • Your dog is small

How do I clean this leash?

All of our leashes and couplers are machine washable.  Put it in a garment bag to prevent it from getting tangled around other things.  Use regular detergent, cold water and a gentle cycle.  Do not use bleach as this will cause the climbing cord to break down. Lay flat to dry.
