Our Traffic Handle Lead is designed for those moments when you need your dog close by – perfect for road crossings, busy paths, or simply keeping them right at your side.
Measuring approximately 35cm in length, it features a solid brass trigger clip that attaches securely to your dog’s collar or harness. The short length keeps your dog safely by your side when walking through crowds, near roads, or during training, and it’s also a handy tool for teaching good manners at the front door when welcoming guests.
Lightweight, durable, and easy to clean, it’s a reliable tool for daily walks and adventures. Handmade in New Zealand, it’s crafted from genuine BioThane® – a premium, waterproof, and easy-care material that’s strong enough for everyday use.
Hand-stamped Nameplate: An optional solid brass or stainless steel 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
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.
