Our Leather Split Dog Lead is designed for walking two dogs together, featuring two removable leather straps attached to a central handle. Each split strap is about 40cm long, and the handle is around 80cm, giving a total lead length of about 120cm. If you need it longer, just let us know!

Durable Materials: Handmade with premium full-grain, Italian vegetable-tanned leather and sturdy brass hardware, this lead is built to last. The leather handle is comfy to hold, and we make sure the edges are smooth for your hands.

Flexible Use: You can use the central handle as a lead on its own. The removable splits have O rings and trigger clips for easy attachment. The handle can be used separately, or you can add one or both splits as needed.

Customise Your Look:

You can choose up to three of our premium leather colours to match your dogs' style or create a unique, personalised look.

Hand-stamped Nameplate:

An optional solid brass nameplate can be securely attached to the lead with matching solid brass rivets. Your emergency contact details will be clearly visible, ensuring you can be contacted if misplaced.

Materials & Craftsmanship

LEATHER
We use premium full-grain leather — the highest grade of real leather, known for its natural markings, strength, and durability.
Selected for its strength and beauty - as the leather ages it will soften and develop a unique, natural patina, whilst remaining extremely strong to withstand harsh and demanding conditions. It is vegetable-tanned and has been dyed all the way through with non-toxic water dyes.

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.

Solid brass is a natural metal so our "gold" hardware may arrive with a little tarnish, especially when travelling snugly against leather. This is completely normal and easily polished – a quick wipe brings back the shine. Over time, brass also develops a warm, natural patina that many owners love. If you prefer hardware that stays bright without patina, you may like to choose our silver option instead (nickel-plated brass or stainless steel).

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Our leather dog leads are custom made with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design that prioritises your dog's comfort and safety. Our dog leads stand out for their premium Italian vegetable-tanned leather, known for its ability to soften and age beautifully over time, and sturdy solid brass hardware.

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.

Dog Lead Length Guide

The best lead length depends on both your dog's size and your own height.

3ft (90cm) – A shorter lead for close control. Often suits larger or taller dogs, strong pullers, heel work and busy areas.

4ft (120cm) – A versatile everyday length that suits many dogs and handlers.

5ft (150cm) – Offers a little more freedom and is particularly useful for smaller or short-legged dogs, or taller handlers.

6ft (180cm) – Extra length for relaxed walks, loose-lead walking or dogs that benefit from more freedom.

Tip: Taller handlers and shorter dogs will generally be more comfortable with a longer lead, while a shorter lead provides more close control.

See the Dog Lead Length Guide in the image gallery for a visual comparison.

Long Lines

For training and exploring, our long lines are available in 3m, 5m, 7.5m, 10m and 15m lengths.

3m – A manageable step up from a standard walking lead, providing extra freedom while keeping your dog relatively close.

5m – A versatile choice for recall training and everyday exploring, with a good balance of freedom and manageability.

7.5m – A useful middle ground when you want more room to explore without the additional bulk of a 10m or 15m line.

10m – Provides plenty of freedom for recall training, sniffing and exploring larger open spaces.

15m – Best suited to situations where maximum range is useful, such as recall training, tracking and large open spaces. The additional length also means more lead to manage and carry.

When choosing a long line, consider both the amount of freedom you want to give your dog and how much line you are comfortable handling. Longer lines also become heavier, particularly in wider BioThane®.

Care Instructions

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!

Remember: the wider the leather, the stronger the lead. Please see our Sizing Guide for recommended leather widths.

Strap Replacement Service

All of our collars and leads are handmade in our own workshop, which means we can repair, resize, or refresh them at any time. When you’re ready for a new look, we can replace the strap and reuse your existing hardware - giving your custom piece a new lease on life.
