I know this is not popular these days, but I have only ever used and continue to use leather leashes with brass clips. They are sturdy, strong, lightweight and last more than a decade. They’re harder to find these days, again, for obvious reasons, but there are still good ones out there (often sold by horse tack equipment retailers). I’ve never liked rope leashes as they burn the hand if the dog takes off. And am not one who needs colors and patterns for dog gear.
All true, except for night walkers. During the day leather is great. At night? i.e. after 11pm we need reflective or lit leashes.
So happy to see Nonstop Dogwear on the list. Their bungee leash is incredible and works well in the rain as well. I use it primarily with a IQ Dogsport harness or a Nonstop harness for running and hiking with my dog in the lead. The leash is super strong and has solid give without an ‘out of control’ feeling. I would caution anyone using this leash on the road or a sidewalk because if the dog lunges at something (like a squirrel or a passing bicycle) you don’t have as much control as with a non-bungee leash. In a more urban setting this leash is best for a seasoned handler and well trained dog.
I also love a leather leash and use them on my own dogs for our walks. But as a trainer, the Mendota leash is my top recommendation for a comfortable grip at a great value. It has a nice, soft grip, lightweight yet sturdy. The ones at my home are 25 years old and still used regularly.
