          @Alex Finding the right leash is like finding the right weight of denim. It never ends with the first try. Five family members walking the dog and using three different leashes. But only one collar. Rest on DM 😀.

              @Alex you could always use an old school chain style leash. Can clip to itself and generally won't break. Only issue is rust if you leave it out. Though they aren't comfortable wrapping the leash around your hand

                @Alex Sorry for the delay in getting back to you mate - I've been laid low this week by a stomach bug that's doing the rounds.

                We use this lead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Halti-Double-Ended-Lead-Red/dp/B07JM68Q78/ref=sr_1_7

                It's quite versatile as the various attachment points allow you to use it at various lengths depending on how much freedom you want pooch to have. Or the second clip also allows you to use it on two-point harness, which can be helpful for teaching dogs not to pull.

                The other places to attach clips also allow you to easily make a loop and wear it around your neck without creating a literal noose!

                We've had the same lead for 4+ years now, so it seems to last, no complaints from us!

                Take the dive...

                            @Alex I've just seen your question about leads. Also, Yuki is looking great.

                            I've been using an Arctic Sammy collar and leash for Disco. Here he is modelling it by the HMAS Otway in Holbrook.

                            Disco and HMAS Otway

                            They're a small company based in New Zealand, but they ship worldwide. They use proper climbing rope and carabiners for their collars and leashes. Apparently, they have a breaking strain of 500 kg, but that's when the fittings will fail.

                            I've got one of their Martingale collars, which tightens up to a point to prevent it slipping over the dog's head; a standard dog leash; and one of their hands-free leads, though I haven't used that too often yet. The carabiners on the leashes are large enough to clip onto the handles, so I can wear it around my body like @Aetas does.

                            If you do decide to order, they regularly run sales with 15% to 25% off, and there are various influencer discount codes floating around. I think that tails15 will get 15% off.

                            Another company to look into would be Haqihana, who mainly make harnesses for sighthounds. I've got a Harness 2H for Disco. The third set of straps is designed to stop him from escaping from it.

                            Haqihana 2H Harness

                            The harness uses a thick and soft webbing, which is definitely nicer than what you'll find in an average pet shop. They don't impinge the movement of the dog's forelegs and chest, unlike some of the no-pull designs that can cause problems. Oh, and they're made in Italy.

                            I haven't seen the matching leashes, but the harness is well made and I'm trusting they wouldn't disappoint.

                            I found a couple of places selling Haqihana products in the UK.

                              An old friend of mine from SF makes handmade leashes from recycled climbing ropes, @Alex , and I think they’re pretty great. He hand drills two screws into the rope before wrapping the connection in heat shrink rubber. They’re pretty indestructible and affordable, but the best part is he donates 10% of the leashes he makes to dog rescues all over the place. Here’s the site: https://ropesforrescues.com/

                                  @Steve Not bad for a first attempt. How did your rice turn out as that was my biggest hurdle for me?
