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+
  • Length is measured from clip to clip (7ft - 16ft)
  • Adjustable by repositioning the slider and clip
  • Can be worn around the waist, across the body, or handheld
  • Recommended Length: 8ft

If you are unsure which length suits your walking style, use the Measuring Guide or message me before ordering.

Hardware & construction+

• Durable 10mm rope selected for strength and everyday comfort
• 19mm BioThane® slider system for smooth adjustment
• Embedded O-ring for clipping and length control
• Strong swivel carabiner for secure attachment
• Metal end caps for a clean, finished detail

This lead is built to handle daily use while remaining comfortable to wear for longer walks.

Care & durability+

Designed for regular use in all conditions.

Care instructions:

  • Wipe down with a damp cloth after muddy or wet walks
  • If it needs more, hand wash gently in cool water
  • Air dry naturally, away from direct heat
  • Avoid harsh detergents or chemicals

Not machine washable: nothing in this range goes in a washing machine. The metal end caps and fittings will not take a drum. A finished piece is only as washable as its least tolerant part.

The rope may soften slightly over time depending on colour, but this does not affect strength or safety.

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

Adjustable Rope Waist Lead | Hands-Free Dog Lead | Customisable

Hands back. This hands-free dog lead is made for owners who want both arms free on the walk, for coffee, phone, trail poles, whatever, while keeping full control when it matters.

The lead adjusts around the waist or across the body using a BioThane® slider. Multiple loop positions mean you can shorten it for close control in busy areas or extend it to give your dog more freedom on quieter paths. The connection between you and your dog does not disappear, it just stops living in your hand.

Made from 10mm rope, handcrafted in Britain. Every detail, the whipping, the hardware, the overall finish, is done by hand and checked before it leaves. Made in small runs, never in bulk.

Customise the rope colour, binding colour, hardware finish and lead length to build the exact setup you want.

Popular with runners, cyclists, and anyone who has ever tried to eat a sandwich while a dog lead cuts off circulation to their fingers.

This design is part of my hands-free dog leads collection, alongside Greenwich Yarn, paracord and leather versions.

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.

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.

Stylish & Functional

We ordered the 16ft hands-free lead to vamp up our training game and it’s been such a good upgrade! It’s super lightweight, which makes it perfect for dragging along the ground during recall or STOPs without getting in the way. It’s also really easy to clean (a must after muddy adventures) and, let’s be honest, it looks so good too. Stylish, practical, and great for training ticks all the boxes for us! 👏
