On this page, we introduce the materials used in our handmade leashes, handles and hands-free walking system.
Generally, it is good to multiply the dog's weight with 7 to choose materials strong enough. For example if your dog weights 20 kg's, you count 20 x 7 = 140. This means that breaking load should be minimum of 140 kg's.
Our leashes have been designed so that the other components are strong enough as long as you choose the webbing and buckle according to your dog's weight.
SOFT webbing is our custom webbing. It is PVC coated webbing with a nylon core. It is the perfect webbing, if you asked us (and our customers). It has a smooth matte surface, and the grip is just something else - even when wet! It is 100% waterproof, and therefore it doesn't get ugly and smelly. Also, it is easy to clean; just rinse it with water or wipe with a damp cloth.
SOFT webbing is extremely strong!
However, no webbing is chew proof.
13 mm / 320 kg
19 mm / 450 kg
We recommend the 13mm to small and medium sized dogs, and 19 mm to medium and large sized dogs.
Hexa is a honeycomb patterned PVC coated webbing. Inside there is a durable polypropylene webbing. It is abrasion-resistant, 100% water and bacteria-resistant and has an amazing grip even when wet! Please note that PVC coated webbing (or webbing overall) are not chew proof.
Hexa webbing works best for small and medium sized dogs (up to 20 kg's). However, if the dog walks nicely on leash and does not pull much, the webbing works fine also on a bit larger dogs. For example, we use the 20mm wide leash with our 35 kg's golden retriever without any issues. But remember, it's always on you to determine if the leash is strong enough for your dog and the way it behaves. We are happy to help you with any questions :)
10 mm / 120 kg

We offer three types of snap hooks in two different colors. If you choose a black snap hook, other hardware will also be black and vice versa.
Here below you can find detailed information of each hook (webbing width it is used with / breaking load / weight / total length).
PLEASE NOTE! With this type of hooks (same form as BGB), always remember to check the compatibility with the D-ring of the collar/harness you are using. With too large hook/too small D-ring, the hook can come away if it rotates to a specific position.
Available in black and silver.
