Description

· farmer markets
· busy trails
· use with couplers

this is a very short leash, essentially just a handle and a swivel hook…this is what the customers wanted and i sold out of every weekend at the anchorage market and festival. measuring a total of 17 inches. it has a nice loop that will fit nearly everyone, even with a bulky mitten. i call this style the rivet handle leash. i have found that about half of the population holds their leash as shown here…this handle style is my unique design…i feel as though i can use all the muscles in my back and shoulder as well as my hand and arm to hold the leash. it is also on my wrist should the dog lunge or when the dog is just standing around and i need to get something out of my pocket…i still have a hold of the leash.

this leash consists of blue, gray and a little white woven together. it is made with new 8mm mountaineering rope. it is resistant to grit, grime, humidity, and abrasion. i use metal rope clamps to secure each end and then cover them with heat shrink for a finished look…in the handle there are two rope clamps. these leashes are strong, they have been tested on thousands of big strong dogs for over four years. oh, and i almost forgot to mention the best feature, it has a nice foam grip handle for your hand…no more rodeo holds or webbing burns!

i let my research and development team test, well really abuse, alaska leash products. they played tug of war with the leash and drug it up and down the rocky trails and there were no snags or tears in the rope or even the foam grip handle. this leash is designed to last years. however, it is not chew proof…so if you’ve got a chewer or a teething puppy, buy them lots of chew toys, and put this away the minute the walk is finished.

it is machine washable, gentle cycle, cold water in a garment bag so it doesn’t clunk around in your washing machine, and dried flat.
