FAQs
What are the dimensions of this lead?
The lead is 110cm in total length and 1.4cm in width.
Is this lead suitable for all weather conditions?
While durable, it is made of genuine leather, so it is best to avoid leaving it in standing water or heavy rain for extended periods.
How do I shorten the lead for better control?
You can attach the trigger clip to the metal ring located near the handle to fold the lead in half.
Is the leather safe for my dog if they chew it?
No leather product should be chewed. If your dog is a chewer, please keep the lead out of reach when not in active use.
Do the brass fittings rust?
Brass is highly resistant to rust, but like any metal, it can develop a patina over time if exposed to salt or harsh chemicals.
Is the handle padded with leather?
Yes, the handle is padded to ensure comfort, making it easy to hold even if your dog pulls.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after getting wet.
Once fully air-dried, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or neatsfoot oil to restore suppleness.
The trigger clip seems stuck or stiff.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and operate it several times to redistribute.

- Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
- Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals; use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt.
