Crafted using premium 6mm rope selected for its balance of strength, flexibility, and comfort.

The rope features a soft outer sheath with a reinforced inner core, allowing it to hold its shape without feeling stiff or heavy in the hand.

Finished with a BioThane® slider and branded cotton detail, which moves smoothly along the rope to secure the fit when worn as a figure of 8 dog lead.

Designed to withstand regular use while remaining lightweight and comfortable for both dog and handler.

The figure of 8 design sits around the nose and neck, offering gentle directional guidance rather than constant pressure.

Choose your preferred lead length based on how much freedom you want during walks or training.

The adjustable BioThane® slider allows you to fine-tune the fit so the lead stays secure without tightening excessively.

If you’re unsure which length or setup is right for your dog, feel free to get in touch before ordering.

Designed for everyday use in all conditions.

To care for your lead:

• Hand wash with mild soap if needed (30 degrees C or less)
• Rinse thoroughly and air dry
• Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive surfaces

Colour intensity may soften slightly over time, particularly with darker dyes, which is a natural characteristic of dyed rope.

With proper care, your lead will remain strong, functional, and comfortable for years of use.

Figure of 8 slip leads should always be used with care and intention.

• Not suitable for unsupervised wear
• Avoid sudden or forceful corrections
• Designed to guide movement, not restrain
• Not suitable for puppies under the age of 12-16 weeks old

If you’re new to figure of 8 leads or unsure how to fit one correctly, I recommend seeking guidance from a qualified trainer or getting in touch before use. I have a series of Blog Insights & Tips available that also offer guidance.
