Sizing & Fitting
Total length: 214cm, or 7ft.
Adjustable length: The lead is designed to be worn at the waist or across the body and adjusted to your preferred active length. For running or hiking, shorten the active section to keep the dog close. For a loose lead walk, extend it.
Materials & Construction
Leather: Natural leather, veg-tanned and naturally finished. The same source as the Classic Collar and Lead. Italian, French and British cowhide, chosen for each piece rather than a single origin claim. Develops a patina with wear.
Hardware: Trigger snap, D-rings, and adjustment hardware in your choice of fittings. Load-tested by the manufacturer that makes them. Covered by Green Dog's twelve-month hardware guarantee.
Delivery & Making Time
The making window is 2 to 6 working days, and it ends at dispatch. It applies to every range.
All UK orders ship tracked. Free UK mainland tracked shipping on orders over £55.
Care & Durability
Spot clean with mild soap and cool water. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Solid brass and solid nickel develop a natural patina, and polish occasionally if you prefer them bright. Plated and zinc die cast finishes need nothing but a wipe, and must never be polished, because that takes the finish off.
Returns & Exchanges
Standard pieces can be returned within 30 days for a full refund, unused and in original condition. I refund what you paid for the piece and the standard delivery I charged; sending it back is at your cost.
If anything arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, that's on me: I'll repair, replace or refund it, and I cover the postage both ways.
If something isn't right, message me. I'd far rather talk it through than have you post anything.
If the hardware fails within twelve months I repair or replace it, with parts and return postage covered. After that, send it back any time and I'll replace worn parts at cost plus postage.

The leather hands-free dog lead is Green Dog's take on the hands-free format, for those who want the practicality of hands-free walking without giving up on materials.
Veg-tanned leather. The same leather used across the leather collection, in Italian, French or British cowhide chosen for each piece rather than a single origin claim.
Four ways to wear it. Long lead, short lead, over the shoulder, under the opposite arm, or round the waist.
Develops a patina with use. A lead that gets better over months and years of daily walks, not one that degrades after a season.
Available in black or chestnut brown, with hardware in your choice of fittings.
How it is made. The strap is pressed out of the hide on a clicker press, using leather knives I designed myself. A splitter takes it down to thickness and a skiver thins it further where the detail calls for it. The edges are bevelled and left natural, then gummed with cactus, which is where the sheen comes from. The hardware is set with rivets.
Pairs with the Classic Leather Collar and the Cotswold Heritage Sighthound Collar. Put a collar and this lead in the same basket and 10% comes off the lead automatically, with no code. It does not combine with a discount code, so you take whichever is worth more.

- Natural leather, veg-tanned, naturally finished
