Troubleshooting
Swivel hook is stiff or difficult to operate
Apply a small amount of lubricant specifically designed for metal or leather goods to the swivel mechanism. Work the hook back and forth to distribute the lubricant. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the mechanism.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. This will help restore moisture and flexibility to the leather. Repeat conditioning every few months or as needed.
Brass fittings show discoloration or tarnish
Use a brass cleaner and a soft cloth to gently polish the fittings. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully. Regular wiping with a dry cloth can help prevent tarnish.
Lead feels too short for desired walking style
Consider using the lead in conjunction with a coupler if walking two dogs, or explore alternative lead lengths if available. This specific model is a fixed length.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the leather. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner, following product instructions.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner periodically (every 3-6 months, or as needed based on climate).
- Drying: If the lead becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use a hairdryer or place it on a radiator.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the color and dry out the leather.
