FAQs
Is this lead suitable for puppies?
Yes, provided the puppy does not exceed the 50kg weight limit and you are comfortable using a fixed-length lead for training.
Can I put this lead in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash only to maintain the structural integrity and the longevity of the printed design.
Does this lead stretch over time?
The material is chosen for its durability and resistance to stretching, maintaining its 100cm length even under consistent tension.
Is the hardware rust-proof?
The metal components are designed for outdoor use and weather resistance, though it is good practice to dry the metal after exposure to heavy rain.
Can this lead be used for tie-out purposes?
No, this is a walking lead and should not be used as a tie-out or tether for your dog when left unattended.
Troubleshooting
Trigger hook feels stiff or sticks
Clear any debris from the spring mechanism and apply a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.
Material is showing slight fraying after heavy use
Gently singe the loose threads using a lighter flame very quickly to prevent further unravelling, or trim cleanly with sharp scissors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the lead, simply snap the metal trigger hook onto the D-ring of your dog's existing collar or harness. Check the connection to ensure the spring-loaded mechanism is fully closed.
Compatibility: This lead is compatible with all standard dog collars and harnesses featuring a metal D-ring. It is specifically rated for dogs up to 50kg; ensure your dog falls within this weight class for optimal safety.
Care Instructions: Because the lead is designed for outdoor use, it can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth to remove mud. If the lead becomes heavily soiled, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, as these can compromise the integrity of the material and fade the ladybird print.
