Your choices

What “personalised” means here

Six things are yours to choose on every piece. I make it to that specification, by hand, and nothing is cut until the order is in.

Rope or cord colour

The full colour range for your rope, paracord or BioThane — the main body of your piece.

Binding colour

The whipping at the handle and loop ends. Match the rope, or contrast it — your choice.

Hardware finish

Solid brass, stainless steel or nickel-plated. Each has different aesthetics and durability properties.

Length (leads)

Standard lengths or a custom length. Most common choices are 100cm, 120cm and 150cm.

Collar size

Fitted to your dog's exact neck measurement. Use the measuring guide, or email me if you're unsure.

Stopper & end cap colour

On slip leads and certain collars, the rubber stopper and end cap can be colour-matched or contrasted.

Personalising means colours, materials, hardware and size. It does not mean names, engraving or embroidery. I don't put text of any kind on any piece.

If you're unsure about a combination, email hello@greendog.pet with the colours you're considering. I'll photograph them together and send you a photo before you commit.

Meet the Maker

Made by Hand.
Made on Purpose.

Every brand messaging you'll ever read will tell you they care. Green Dog was built on a different kind of honesty.

I make every collar and lead by hand in my Oxford studio — hand-worked leather, solid brass and nickel-plated hardware, BioThane that shrugs off water, mud and salt. Not every material is perfect. But everything is chosen deliberately, built to last, and made by the person who answers your emails.

When you buy here, you're not funding a supply chain you can't see. You're buying directly from the person who made it.

Not a warehouse. A studio.

One person, one bench, one piece at a time in Oxford. Every order is individual. Nothing is mass-produced.

Wrong size? I'll fix it.

Size exchange on all custom orders. Twelve-month hardware guarantee, and repairs at cost after that. Because gear this carefully made should last.

You talk to me.

Not a support ticket. Not a chatbot. Email me directly — the person who made your piece will reply.

"We finally made the leap to a slip lead after LOTS of loose lead walking training and would never have gone to anyone but Ed and Green Dog. Not only did Ed get this made in mind blowing time, but the quality is absolutely phenomenal."

"The quality of the item is absolutely wonderful. The seller was incredibly helpful with questions I had. I am very glad I paid the extra over Amazon — a better item by far and fantastic to support UK businesses."

"Honestly so worth the money — you will not be disappointed. Ed went above and beyond, so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Loved my first lead so much I already ordered a second one and know I will be back for more!"
