Crafted in the traditional flat style, our Basic Dog Lead is a versatile essential designed to pair beautifully with our range of custom collars. Handmade in New Zealand from genuine BioThane®, it’s strong, waterproof, and easy to clean – perfect for everyday walks in all conditions.
Material & Construction
A single length of BioThane® strapping is formed into a comfortable handle and fitted with rust-proof solid brass hardware. Built to last, it combines durability with a timeless, understated look.
Versatile Use
The solid brass trigger clip attaches easily to any collar or harness. Use the lead on its own, pair it with our Extension Lead to create extra length, or add two extensions to form a Split Lead – ideal for walking multiple dogs.
Optional Nameplate
Add a custom hand-stamped nameplate in solid brass or stainless steel, securely riveted to the lead. With your details clearly displayed, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your lead can always be identified if misplaced.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Materials & Craftsmanship
BIOTHANE®
BioThane® is a premium brand of coated webbing, created by bonding a PVC or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) coating to a polyester or nylon core. The result is a strong, durable, and waterproof material that’s lightweight, easy to clean, and resistant to chewing and scratching.
We only use genuine BioThane® because of its proven quality and reliability – unlike cheaper alternatives on the market, it maintains its strength, finish, and performance over time.
HARDWARE
Premium hardware, cast from solid brass, selected for maximum strength to ensure our products remain rust-free for life. All hardware is kept securely in place with strong solid brass rivets.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Our BioThane® dog leads are custom made with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design that prioritises your dog's comfort and safety.
Each dog lead is meticulously handmade, and our nameplates are hand-stamped. Minor tooling marks or inconsistencies in the stamping enhance the unique charm and human element of your custom dog lead.

Is this suitable for your pet?
If your dog needs to be tied up or left unattended for a while, we recommend using a heavy-duty lead made for that purpose, and saving this custom lead for walks and training. While our leads are extremely sturdy, and will withstand forceful tugging, there are determined dogs out there for which any lead is no match!
