FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The best waterproof leashes use a material that cannot absorb water rather than fabric treated to resist it. Biothane is the usual choice: it repels water, wipes clean in seconds, and keeps a safe grip in your hands when wet. Every leash color comes in two lengths, 6ft and 4.5ft, both 3/4 inch wide with solid brass and nickel-plated hardware and a traffic handle above the clip for close control.
It suits active dogs well. A biothane dog leash is coated webbing designed for horse tack, built to live outdoors. For dogs who swim or walk in mud daily, waterproof leashes save the constant washing a fabric leash needs, and keeping one clean takes seconds.
Biothane is PVC-coated polyester, so it is not a choice between the two. The real comparison is a coated leash versus bare fabric, and coated wins on water, dirt and smell while staying soft to hold.
Coated webbing makes the most durable everyday dog leash, because strength comes from the polyester core while the coating takes the wear. Fabric frays, a leather leash cracks once a dog has soaked and dried it repeatedly, and chain is hard on the hands. A durable waterproof leash should withstand years of daily wear.
Our longest dog leash is 6ft, which covers normal walking. For long-line training you want 15ft or more, a different product. Plenty of dog people use waterproof leashes daily and keep a separate long line for recall work at the beach.
A dog leash that does not soak. Waterproof leashes leave the water the same weight they went in, dry almost instantly, and never develop wet-rope smell. Rinse the sand off your dog and the leash and both are clean again.
No, and that claim is usually wrong. Any leash can be chewed through given time. What you can get are durable waterproof leashes with real breaking strength that resist wear, weather and dirt. Check the hardware, since that is what fails first.
We make collars and waterproof leashes rather than harnesses. If your dog walks on a harness, the leash clips to it the same way and the collar still carries the dog tags.
Five colorways matching our collar range: blue & orange, blue & white, purple & pink, pink & teal, and red & blue, plus two reflective options for low light (blue reflective and pink reflective). Every color comes in both 6ft and 4.5ft. Color is part of the coating rather than printed on, so a leash stays vibrant instead of fading through wet walks.
Wipe the leash with a damp cloth. For worse, warm soapy water and a rinse, then hang the leash to dry. No conditioning or oiling, which is the point of waterproof leashes over leather.
Length depends on several factors: your dog's size, where you usually walk, and whether they pull. Bigger dogs and open trails often suit the 6ft, while pavements, traffic, or dogs who pull often suit the 4.5ft. A lot of it is preference. Every color comes in both lengths, and both are 3/4 inch wide.
They are the opposite of the dull black nylon most leads use. Our waterproof leashes are stylish and practical, in bold colors that stay bright, a great match beside a collar in the same style.
No. Biothane is waterproof but not buoyant, so a leash dropped in deep water sinks. Worth knowing beside a river or on a boat.
A traffic handle is a second grip sewn a short way above the clip. Grab it and your dog is at your side immediately, with no winding the leash round your hand and no fumbling. It is the feature that makes a leash usable in a crowd.
The same thing under a different name. A double handle dog leash has the normal handle at one end and a traffic handle near the clip, giving you two grip positions on one leash: full length for open ground, short for close control.
If you walk near roads, use pavements at busy times, take your dog into shops or vets, or handle a dog who is strong or reactive, a traffic leash earns itself back the first week. On empty trails you will barely touch the second handle.
Just above the snap hook, close enough that gripping it brings your dog to your leg without any slack left dangling. That position is what separates a real traffic handle dog leash from a leash with a decorative loop halfway down.
It is most useful on big and strong dogs, because the alternative is wrapping a leash around your hand, which is how people get hurt when a dog lunges. The handle gives you a proper grip in the right place. It also helps with small dogs in crowds, where the risk is being stepped on.
Both lengths are 3/4 inch wide. Every color comes in two lengths: 6ft and 4.5ft. The right length depends on your dog's size, where you usually walk, and whether they pull, so a lot of it is preference. The 3/4 inch strap is one inch narrower than the widest collar strap, so it feels light in the hand without giving up strength.
