How I work

  • Hardware is guaranteed for twelve months. If a buckle, clip or ring fails in that time, send it back and I’ll repair or replace it, and I cover the postage.
  • After that, send it back anyway, however old it is. I’ll replace the worn parts at cost and tell you what it needs before I touch it. It comes back cleaned, checked and boxed.
  • If it isn’t adjustable, I check your measurements with you before I make it.
  • Message the shop and it’s me, Ed, who replies. Usually within a few hours.
  • Custom pieces aren’t refundable for a change of mind. If it does not fit when it arrives, tell me and I will adjust or remake it. If I got the size wrong, I cover the postage both ways. If the measurement turned out not to suit your dog, the postage is yours.

Sizing & measuring+

Every piece is made to your dog's exact measurements. Use the Measuring Guide to get it right first time.

If the size isn't right, message me. Size exchanges and amendments are available. If I got it wrong I cover the postage both ways; if the measurement turned out not to suit your dog, the postage each way is yours.

Hardware & construction+
  • 10mm PPM or nylon rope, in your choice of colour
  • Greenwich Yarn whipping: a primary nano cord whipped over the rope, with an accent colour worked over the top. Two layers, not one.
  • Lead clip in your chosen finish: solid brass, nickel-plated over brass, or zinc die cast in black or gun-metal
  • O-ring in your chosen finish: solid brass, solid nickel, or black or gun-metal plated over welded steel
  • 19mm BioThane slider, which runs up and down the rope with an O-ring attached. That is how the length adjusts without unclipping.

All fittings are load-tested by the manufacturer that makes them. Your order confirmation lists exactly which finishes you picked.

Greenwich Yarn describes how the lead is finished, not what it is made from. It is whipping rather than splicing, and it is the same technique on the collars, the leads and the keyrings.

Care & durability+

PPM and nylon rope are lightweight, water-resistant and very low maintenance. PPM absorbs almost no water and dries very quickly. Nylon absorbs a little more, and hanging it up speeds that along.

  • Rinse under fresh water after saltwater or river walks, then towel dry
  • Spot clean with mild soap and cool water
  • Air dry naturally, away from direct heat
  • Keep it away from high heat, which can distort rope fibres

How you look after the hardware depends on the finish you chose. Solid brass and solid nickel develop a patina and polish back. Plated and zinc die cast finishes must never be polished, because polishing takes the finish off rather than bringing it back. Wipe them dry after wet walks and they last for years.

Salt matters most where two different metals sit against each other. A thirty-second rinse and a towel-dry after every wet walk makes a real difference.

Covered by Green Dog's twelve-month hardware guarantee.

Delivery & lead time+

Your order enters the making queue immediately. The making window is 2 to 6 working days, and it ends at dispatch.

All UK orders ship tracked. Free UK mainland tracked shipping on orders over £55.

Returns & exchanges+

Made to your measurements. Because I cut this to the size you give me, it isn't covered by the usual 14-day change-of-mind right: I can't resell it, so I can't take it back simply because you've changed your mind. If it does not fit when it arrives, tell me and I will adjust or remake it. If I got the size wrong, I cover the postage both ways. If the measurement turned out not to suit your dog, the postage is yours. If anything arrives faulty, damaged, mis-made or not as described, that's on me: repair, replacement or refund, and I cover the postage both ways. Either way, message me. I'd far rather talk it through than have you post anything. The full position is on my returns and guarantee page.

I'd far rather spend ten minutes with you before I start than have to alter it afterwards, so read the measuring guide, and if you're unsure about anything, email me first: hello@greendog.pet. The person who made it will reply.

About this piece

Hands-Free Dog Lead | Customisable Greenwich Yarn Rope Lead

The Greenwich Yarn Hands-Free Dog Lead is made to order in Britain: 10mm PPM rope with precision nano binding, a 19mm BioThane® slider that runs on the rope with an O-ring attached so the length adjusts without unclipping, and solid hardware throughout. An 11mm Green Dog brass disc sits on the O-ring at the handle, stamped once with the logo. Wear it around the waist or across the body.

Greenwich Yarn describes how the lead is finished, not what it is made from. A primary nano cord is whipped over the rope by hand, then an accent colour is worked over the top. It is whipping rather than splicing, and it is the same technique on the collars, the leads and the keyrings.

Fully customisable: choose your rope colour, primary and accent binding, and hardware finish. Every combination is made fresh, and nothing sits in stock.

Pairs with the Greenwich Yarn Customisable Collar and the Greenwich Yarn Customisable Lead. 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.

What you can customise

  • Rope colour (10mm PPM)
  • Primary and accent nano binding
  • Hardware finish: brass, nickel, black or gun-metal
  • Length, 7ft to 16ft, standard 7ft

Made to order in two to six working days. UK tracked post is one to two working days after that, and it is free over £55. Rated 4.99 out of 5 from over 200 reviews.

Dog lead of dreams!

Love our custom made to order lead from Green Dog, have had so many compliments on it. It's gorgeous, practical and so well made. Green Dog were so helpful in answering all my questions and explaining how the leads work. Super impressed with everything, and received my order so quickly too!

Hands free dog lead

I’m incredibly impressed by Ed at Green Dog.
Their workmanship and attention to detail are impeccable, ensuring a beautifully aesthetic product. Throughout the process, we were promptly informed by email regarding the process for my personalised items ordered.
We ordered three different items which were all customised to our liking.
The ease of using the website was a joy and so simple resulting in a beautiful product. The professionalism shown in their work is exceptional, and the quality of products used is second to none.

If you're looking for quality, you're in the right place.

Stunning craftmanship with all of Ed's products. I love that you can personalise every detail to make the lead totally your own. This isn't my first lead from Greendog and it won't be my last. The quality is unmatched, super hard-wearing and made for longevity.

Exquisite

A complete craftsman - so special - every detail is perfect. Just waiting for the pooch to be groomed to do her accessories justice in a pic!

Bought the Hands-Free Dog Lead from Green Dog last year and I’m still obsessed with it. Walking hands-free is such a game changer, no stress about dropping the lead and I can actually use both hands. Plus, when Dylan loops around me I don’t have to do that awkward spin to fix it, if I wear it around my waist. Super sturdy and looks great too!

I ordered two of the Greenwich Yarn handsfree dog lead in Tartan & Carolina Blue and in chestnut and black for my two Galgos Falcón & Maxi. The leads are beautifully crafted, and more important, very robust and safe even for bigger breeds. And they are super stylish <3
