Every length made in this collection. Leads here run 213–488cm.
Walk, run or hike with both hands free. Every hands-free dog lead in this collection adjusts around the waist or across the body using a BioThane® slider, giving you multiple loop positions for different situations.
Available in 10mm rope, lightweight paracord, signature Greenwich Yarn and natural leather. All customisable by colour, hardware and length. Handmade to order at my Oxford studio.
Popular with runners, cyclists, hikers and anyone who has ever tried to drink a coffee while a dog lead cuts off circulation to three fingers.
If you are choosing between setups, my waist vs crossbody guide compares the two positions, and the hands-free dog lead buyer guide covers what to look for. For length and fit, the measuring guide takes two minutes. The Greenwich Yarn leads include a hands-free version if you want the two-colour binding on it, and the rest of the lead range covers clip, slip and traffic leads.
These adjust across a wide range, but if the fit is still wrong on you or on the dog, tell me and I will sort it at no cost to you under the Perfect Fit Guarantee. Every one is built in your colours, hardware and length, which makes it made to your specification and therefore outside the 14-day cancellation right, so ask me first if you are unsure. The returns page has the rest.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hands-free dog lead?
A hands-free lead is worn over the shoulder or around the waist, leaving both hands free for running, hiking, cycling or pushing a buggy. The lead has a slider that adjusts to multiple loop positions for different uses.
How does a Green Dog hands-free lead adjust?
Every hands-free lead uses a BioThane slider running on the lead itself, which lets you set the loop wide enough to wear across the chest, narrow enough to fit a waist, or extended to a standard handheld lead length. No buckles to undo.
Who is a hands-free lead best for?
Runners, hikers, cyclists, dog walkers handling multiple dogs, parents pushing buggies, anyone with a free coffee hand to protect. Also useful for owners with grip or wrist issues, the load sits across the body rather than on the hand.
Which material is best for a hands-free lead?
For everyday active use, the customisable rope hands-free lead is the most popular. For luxury and signature pieces, the Greenwich Yarn version. For wipe-clean ease and water dogs, the BioThane version. Leather suits country use and ages well.
Are Green Dog hands-free leads made to order?
Yes. Every hands-free lead is built in my Oxford studio after you order, in your chosen colours, hardware and length. Dispatch is 2 to 6 working days.
Green Dog is not a brand. It is a studio. One person, one workbench, one standard. Every collar and lead is made by hand in Oxford — tested, measured, finished. You are not buying from a supply chain. You are buying directly from the person who made it.
