I love our dog leads so much mainly because I chose the colours myself to go with all our other dog accessories, they are strong , look fantastic and were made and delivered at bionic speed. I will be buying more.
Bought a 6mm slip lead, it’s clear the care that goes into selecting materials and making the lead by hand. Quality product.
The helpful advice I received through the buying procedure and the tips on how to use the slip lead was so helpful. The lead itself is beautiful made and of a high quality. Know doubt I will be back for other products. Thank you
So happy with my new slip leads. My whippets have been wild the last few weeks getting into bad habits pulling with all the pheasants and deer we have around us. The slip leads worn in a figure 8 have been a game changer from day one. They do not pull one bit - getting to enjoy their lead time and zoomie time. Thank you so much for your advice. I was worried they would be harsh on them but they actually feel really gentle towards them and completely eliminated pulling which is good for them and me.
