Reflective Round Rope Dog Leash with Snap Hook

This leash is a thick round rope with a reflective thread woven through it, a loop handle and a black snap hook at the clip end. The rope is 1.2 cm (0.47 in) thick, which is easy to grip, and the reflective thread picks up headlights on evening walks. The ends where the rope meets the handle and the hook are double-stitched.

Pick the length for the job. The 1.2 m (3.9 ft) and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) versions suit close walking around town, 1.8 m (5.9 ft) gives a bit more freedom, and the 3 m (9.8 ft) and 5 m (16.4 ft) versions give a dog room to roam in a field or practice recall and training. Longer leashes are heavier: the lightest version weighs 7.1 oz (200 g) and the 5 m weighs 15.9 oz (452 g).

The colors are black, blue, red, rose red, purple and coffee. The hook is designed to clip to a standard collar or harness ring. A hook that size on a very large or strong dog deserves a look before you trust it, and no breaking strength is given, so choose a different leash for powerful pullers.

After a muddy walk, rinse the rope in warm water, squeeze out the water and hang it up to dry. Check the stitching and hook from time to time for wear, and keep the longer lengths coiled or tied up when not in use so they do not tangle.
