Flexible Use: The BioThane® Handsfree Lead features trigger clips at each end and a fixed dee ring near one trigger clip. An adjustable O ring, secured with a BioThane® loop, allows you to slide it up and down the lead for perfect positioning. This loop ensures the ring stays in place once set, preventing unwanted slipping.

BIOTHANE®
BioThane® is a brand name for a type of coated webbing that is made by bonding a PVC or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) coating to a polyester or nylon webbing. This creates a strong, durable, and waterproof material that is easy to clean, lightweight yet resistant to chewing and scratching.
HARDWARE
Premium British saddlery hardware, cast from solid brass and rust-proof. Our hardware has been selected for maximum strength and to ensure our products remain rust-free for life. All hardware is kept securely in place with strong solid brass rivets.
NAMEPLATE
An optional solid brass or stainless steel nameplate can be securely attached to the lead with matching solid brass rivets. Your emergency contact details will be clearly visible, ensuring you can be contacted if misplaced.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each dog lead is meticulously handmade, and our nameplates are hand-stamped. Minor tooling marks or inconsistencies in the stamping enhance the unique charm and human element of your custom dog lead.

We recommend using a specialty lead when attached to a tie-out and keeping this custom dog lead for walks. While our leads are extremely sturdy, and will withstand forceful tugging, there are determined dogs out there for which any lead is no match!
Collar Width
Collar Width
Leather Dog Collars:
As a general guide, we recommend that if your dog’s neck circumference is:
- Less than 22cm (8.5”) or a puppy under 3 months old, choose a soft leather puppy collar.
- 22 - 28cm (8.5 - 11”), choose a 1/2” leather collar.
- 28 - 34cm (11 - 13”), choose a 3/4” leather collar.
- 34 - 41cm (13 - 16”), choose a 1” leather collar.
- 41 - 48cm (15 - 19”), choose a 1 1/4” leather collar.
- 48cm (19”) and larger, choose a 1 1/2” leather collar.
BioThane Dog Collars:
The BioThane range comes in widths of 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1”. Because Biothane is stronger than leather, these widths are suitable for a wider range of neck sizes. When choosing a width, you can focus more on the look you prefer and the comfort of your dog, as the strength will be adequate regardless of the size.
- 1/2” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks up to 35cm (14”).
- 3/4” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 28cm (11") - 40cm (16").
- 1” Biothane Collar: Suitable for necks from 35cm (14") and beyond. This width is highly recommended for most medium and large dog breeds.
General Tips:
- Wider collars are stronger, so please consider this when selecting the width. For example, do not use a 1/2” collar for a medium-sized dog; choose at least a 3/4” collar or larger.
- For medium-sized breeds and larger dogs, especially those that have a habit of pulling on the lead, we highly recommend choosing one of our D-End Dog Collars. These collars provide an additional layer of leather to pull against when attaching a lead to the dee ring, offering extra strength and durability to handle stronger pulling.
How To Measure
How To Measure
How to Measure For A Dog Collar
We strongly suggest providing an accurate measurement when placing your order. If you follow the instructions below, this will allow us to make a collar for your dog that will fit him/her well.
1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of the neck at the point where a collar would naturally lie.
2. Pull the tape so that it is snug but not tight. Record the measurement.
3. Enter this measurement in the personalisation text box when prompted. This measurement will be the middle hole of the collar, we will add at least another two holes either side.
Puppies - If your dog is a puppy, please let us know and we will make an allowance for growth when sizing the holes for the collar. Please feel free to give us a range (up to 12cm, i.e. 24-36cm) so that we can make sure there are enough holes to suit your dog's growth. We can be very flexible with the number of holes provided in the collar.
How to Measure For A Cat Collar
1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of the neck at the point where a collar would naturally lie.
2. Pull the tape so that it is snug but not tight. Record the measurement.
3. Enter this measurement in the personalisation text box when prompted.
