Full details

FAQs
Is the Front Range Flex Leash chew-proof?
No, the leash is made of knitted mesh and is not chew-proof. Always supervise your dog when the leash is in use.
Can I use this leash with any dog harness?
Yes, it is compatible with any standard collar or harness that features a sturdy metal D-ring attachment point.
How do I clean the accessory loop?
The accessory loop can be cleaned at the same time as the rest of the leash using mild soap and water.
Does the leash stretch out permanently?
The material is designed for subtle, dynamic flexibility and is engineered to retain its shape after use.
Is the clip suitable for large, strong dogs?
The Crux Clip is strong and secure, but if you have a dog that pulls with extreme force, ensure you are using it in conjunction with a properly fitted harness.
What is the primary benefit of the traffic handle?
The traffic handle allows you to maintain a very short, controlled leash length in high-traffic areas without needing to grab the leash material itself.
Troubleshooting
Crux Clip feels stiff or hard to open
Check for debris or dirt inside the mechanism; rinse with fresh water and allow to dry before applying a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Mesh strap has developed small snags
Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors and use a lighter to lightly singe the frayed end to prevent further unraveling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the leash, simply attach the lockable Crux Clip to your dog’s harness or collar D-ring. Slide the locking mechanism on the carabiner to ensure it remains securely fastened. For care, hand wash the leash using a mild detergent and warm water to protect the integrity of the knitted mesh. Avoid using bleach or heavy industrial detergents. Hang the leash to air dry completely, ensuring it is kept away from direct heat sources or prolonged intense sunlight, which can degrade synthetic fibers over time.
