Leather selection – you can only use specific cow hides to make sure that leather does not stretch too much. Leather should be flexible in balanced way.

General "Woof" Tip: Very important to pay attention on what kind of rivets is used to make your leather product.Some companies trying to cut down prices and use low quality rivets which will rust within weeks and can harm you and your dog because edges are sharp and not polished

We do not like making leashes to soft like rope or too hard like plastic.We use vegetable or chrome tanned leather which is perfect for making leash which is pleasure to use daily.

General "Woof" Tip: One of the things I would like to pay your attention at:
There are many resellers around the Internet which are not direct makers and sometimes don’t even know how and what for products they sell are made.Ask right questions to find out if you deal with main source or if you are going to pay extra money just because product you are about to purchase went through 2-4 extra hands before it reaches you.I like to save extra buck and it won’t harm you either, so check if you are purchasing product from main source.Most of the times if you ask fro a small change in size adjustment, only maker will be able to do it for you.

 Second factor is snap – there are several types of snaps and there are many materials which are used for making snaps for leashes. We believe in using brass plated snap hooks which are reliable over long period of time and very strong in regards to tension and pressure.Of course the best is stainless steel and we use those as well, however please note that stainless steel snaps are expansive.When you make your decision about purchasing leash please think about for how long you would like to use it.

General "Woof" Tip: We are involved in making our products over 10 years and have century of combined experience in making you and your dog happy when our products involved and when you need our help before or after order placed.

So you might realize that usually paying $10-30 extra for better leash which can be used for 6-10 years is wise decision.Third factor is how leash is assembled.
 Handle and snap can be riveted, hand stitched, machine stitched, braided or combination of mentioned ways.I think less stress points there are stronger this leash will be. I prefer braiding without additional rivet. However any other way when properly done .Can be strong enough. And of course depending on the dogs size and your task – walking, tracking, training, agitation, tie out etc. you should consider design.You are welcome to contact us so we can help you to choose most appropriate leash for your goal.
