Signature K9 Heavy Leather Leash, 6-Feet x 7/8-Inch, Black

This leash is of surprisingly good quality especially for the price. I had stopped into two large chain pet stores in search for a training leash and the prices for very thin six foot leads ranged from $46 $90. I buy most everything for our dogs and other pets on Amazon so I put off purchasing one and am glad I did.

The leash is very sturdy leather which is exactly what you want. Soft leather has to much give and won't hold up to unexpected chewing and biting from your dog. The stiff leather holds up beautifully and provides a better correction "snap".

The top handle and end loop are made by folding the leather down and fastening them with two steel rivets, some braiding would gave made the leash stronger but if you're not training say, a 300 pound Mastiff this lead should work out just fine.

We have two Old English Bulldogs a 95 pound adult and 55 pound 7 month old puppy. I'll be using this lead for beginner obedience training (heel, sit, stay, come on command and lay down) I've been working with dogs for over 40 years and this leash is of a quality that you would pay at least three times the mere selling price of $19.00 at most any retail store.

Simply used for a walking lead this leash would work out equally well. But for entry level training to advanced you really do need a standard 6 foot leather leash. The stiffness of the leather does ease up a bit over time but should stay tough enough to last for years.

The tanning is very well done, it's a deep over saturated black that doesn't rub off. I wish they had passed on the brass plating for the eye clasp. Brass tends to pit and rust from wet weather it's also less attractive especially against the silver rivets.

un plated steel is always preferable, but this is my only complaint and it's a minor one.

The leash was delivered well packaged in a box and the Prime membership you get free two day shipping to boot. Making this leash an even more exceptional bargain.

I love this leash! I wanted a sturdy leash that my dog couldn't chew into. I've had the nylon and vinyl leashes, but my dog still chewed into them. Now that I've been using this leash, my dog doesn't even attempt to chew into it. I saw a woman with this leash in my local pet store and asked where she got it. She said she had bought the leash a few years ago (it still looked in great condition) but hasn't seen any of the stores carrying it anymore. Well lucky for me I was able to find it online with Amazon and have been very happy with the product. I would definitely recommend this leash for anyone who is looking for a great looking, sturdy, 100% leather leash.

You may love this leash but...it is VERY heavy. The edges are not beveled as it says in the product description, but almost sharp. It is also VERY stiff, more like plywood than leather. Mine had a defect/split in the leather. It's hard to believe that Amish craftspeople would send out a defective article such as this. If you don't have a 500 pound dog or a hand of steel, I would suggest that you at least purchase a thinner version of this leash.

This is a very good leash. It has steel rivets so it should last forever. Leashes without rivets, with just stitching or these new twisted type leashes will wear out and eventually break. This should be the only leash you ever need. Incidentally, I read the other review so I pulled out a tape measure and mine measured exactly 6 feet. Not a big deal, but I figured I'd mention it. From a professional dog trainer and handler, I recommend this leash, and others like it, highly.

I was walking my 25 lb puppy and with very little pressure, the metal fittings broke apart and the dog went running. There was no sign of any damage when I got the leash and this seemed to happen out of nowhere. It may have been one bad one out of the bunch, but I wouldn't get a leash from this company again. It's not worth the risk.
