    Leashes

    I have two big boys that I walk together. They are pretty good on leash, but can be strong, so I want something that is comfortable on my hands. I prefer a leather leash that is in the five-foot range. What do you use? And where did you get it?

    For leather leads, I have several from Bold Lead Designs in Colorado. They will make custom leads if you want. The bridle leather they use is great. I love their convertible leashes for hiking (can be used normally, hands-free, and several other configurations). I have leashes for every situation from casual to shows. My favorite everyday leashes are English bridle leather. For the beach/lake I like TufFlex and Durasoft leads, grab tabs, and collars from Gun Dog Supply. My grab and go kennel leads are Alvalley English slips with a stopper. The material is a little nicer than the similar Mendota slip leads.

    I second the suggestion for Bold Lead Designs. I have several. Love them! I really find the skinnier width is most comfortable in my hands (3/8"). It says it's for smaller dogs, but I walk my crew with them no problem. And the bridle leather is super soft. I have the traditional lead and the super lead.

    I like the EzyDog ones because they have a bit of elastic in them so a bit of give if he yanks on the lead (doesn't happen often but it's nice to not jerk as much when he does!). I use the Zero Shock ones.

    I bought mine from a dog show. Have no idea what the brand is unfortunately. It's so soft though. Try going to an upcoming show! Lots of great stuff available.

    I bought my leather leash from SmartPak. It's a really, really beautiful leash and not too expensive either!

    I get my leather leads from J & J Dog supplies. I often tie two leashes together with a carabiner and then just hold one handle.

    I use e-mail steps. It has some give to it so even if he pulls he doesn't pull me down. Here's the web site. They also carry a. Coupling leash for 2 dogs. It's made a big difference for us.
