Product Information
Full details
The Halti BRIG Safety Lead is designed for owners of large, powerful dogs, offering enhanced control and security during walks. Its primary benefit is the robust construction and multiple grip points that provide confidence in busy or unpredictable environments. A potential consideration is its heavy-duty nature, which might be overkill for smaller or less boisterous dogs. Key features include an ultra-strong BRIG clip, comfortable padded handles, reflective stitching, and a color-coded temperament system.

FAQs
What makes the BRIG clip stronger than standard clips?
The BRIG clip has a zinc alloy core and an aluminum collar, engineered to withstand up to 340kg of force, making it significantly more robust than typical trigger clips.
Is this lead suitable for small dogs?
While functional, the lead's heavy-duty construction and features are primarily optimized for large, powerful dogs. It may be heavier than necessary for smaller breeds.
How do I use the temperament-signalling colours?
The lead comes with a color-coded system. While specific meanings can vary, it's generally used to indicate your dog's comfort level or needs in different social situations (e.g., blue for calm, yellow for caution). Refer to Halti's official guidelines for detailed explanations.
Can I attach accessories to the lead?
Yes, there is a D-ring located at the base of the handle. This is ideal for attaching waste bag dispensers or for securing the lead for hands-free wear when your dog is off-lead.
How do I clean the neoprene handles?
The neoprene handles can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure they are air-dried completely.
What is the length of the lead?
Product details typically specify lead length. Please refer to the product packaging or official specifications for exact measurements.
Is the lead waterproof?
The materials are designed to be durable and water-resistant. If the lead gets wet, it should be air-dried thoroughly. It is not designed for submersion.
Troubleshooting
BRIG clip is stiff or difficult to open/close
Ensure the clip is free of dirt or debris. If necessary, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant can help, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
Lead tangles easily
Ensure the 360° swivel mechanism is functioning correctly. Check that the lead is not twisted before attaching it to the dog.
Pads feel uncomfortable
Ensure the padded handles are being used correctly. The neoprene lining is designed for comfort; if discomfort persists, try adjusting your grip or using a different handle.
