Beautiful double-braided leather Safety Connectors ensure your dog stays securely attached to their leash.

Walk your dog with peace of mind knowing that you have two points of attachment to keep your dog safe. These leather safety cords are a backup attachment for Houdini dogs who somehow wriggle their way out of their gear or shake loose from the leash or harness.

With a bolt snap on either end, simply clip one end to a collar or harness, and the other end to a leash, or any other gear. Designed for use with head halters, training collars, martingales, front clip harnesses, or any type of training tool as a fallback plan in case of a slipped collar or broken buckle, or failed leash snap.

BLD’s exclusive wheelchair Leash Hook Attachment is designed to work on nearly any type of wheelchair (power or manual) to conveniently hold a leash.

The Leash Hook Attachment is designed for people with quadriplegia, those with very limited hand and arm movement, or for anyone who needs a convenient, hands-free way to manage their leash with their wheelchair. This special hook is designed to be used with our Wheelchair Leashes, but can be used with your own leash.*

This is the hook attachment only (leash not included). Save $5 EACH when you buy two or more! 

BLD’s Leash Hook Attachment is handmade in Colorado using a specially fabricated hook mounted to a stainless steel plate that is securely fastened to a sturdy nylon webbing and Velcro wrap. The inside of the attachment is lined with gripping material to keep it in place. A separate piece of grippy material is also included to add extra holding power or diameter to the tubing if needed.

The Hook itself is designed to pivot with the gravity of the leash so the leash does not come off accidentally, but can be lifted off at any time.

Easy to install with no tools required!

We’ve made the attachment as easy to mount to the wheelchair as we can, although some clients may need a friend to help with the initial installation.

The Leash Hook Attachment wraps around a part of the wheelchair with Velcro.  It can be mounted to the tubing, frame, or around the armrest of a wheelchair or mobility scooter. Velcro doubles back onto the wrap to create a strong and secure mount.

When selecting the location to attach the hook, be sure to choose a part that is structurally sound, appropriately sturdy, will not interfere with the function of the device, and within easy reach of the user. Also, be sure the chosen location will not cause damage to the wheelchair should the leash be pulled or get caught on something. If using around a wide part of the wheelchair, such as an armrest, the Extender Wrap will be required.

Ideas to consider:

Using more than one scooter/wheelchair? Consider ordering a hook for each mobility device.

Some clients prefer to use a two hook system. You may prefer to have a hook to connect the end of the leash and a second hook to hold the rings that shorten the leash. This prevents accidentally removing the whole leash when lengthening the leash.

Sizing & Measuring

Measuring:

Measure the circumference around where you want to attach the hook. Select the orientation to match the part of the wheelchair you will attach it to (vertical or horizontal).

* Whatever leash you use, please be sure it is the right length; it should be minimal and short, without excess to drag or get caught on objects or in the wheels, and must have an O-ring to drop onto the hook. Please read the safety considerations in the Safety Note tab.

Sizing:

Standard Hook Attachment fits diameter of tube/frame up to 1.5″ (3.8 cm)
Circumference of up to 5″ (12.5 cm)

With extender wrap, Hook Attachment fits diameter up to 4″ (10 cm)
Circumference of up to 10″ (25 cm)

Wheelchair Leash Sizing:

Regular half-inch wide (12.7 mm) is recommended for most dogs and people as it’s sturdy for any size dog, yet not too heavy. If you like a wider, heavier leash and larger hardware, select the wider option. In leather, the wider option is 5/8″, and in Brahma it is 3/4.”

Safety Note

Safety Considerations:

These products are intended for use with fully trained service dogs/assistance dogs/pet dogs that have excellent leash manners. We’ve designed all of our Wheelchair Leash options to manually detach from the wheelchair in the event of an emergency situation. Why? Because it’s simply a smart idea!

Only you can determine if letting go of the leash and attaching it to your wheelchair is the right choice for you and your dog.

Attached leashes (fastened to a person, wheelchair, or other mobility device) are not safe for all dogs and/or users of wheelchair/mobility devices. Please choose your equipment wisely and use responsibly.

Do not use wheelchair leashes with an untrained dog. Not for dogs that pull on the leash. Wheelchair leashes must NOT be used with dogs that lunge or are difficult to control, as this could be very dangerous. Additionally, DO NOT USE FOR PULLING A WHEELCHAIR.

Please note: If your strength or dexterity is limited, you may need assistance from a friend to install the wheelchair attachment and make the initial adjustment to the leash. Once attached and adjusted, the leash will remain at the desired length and is easy to connect to and remove from the wheelchair.

BLD’s Service Dog Cape/Vest is a utilitarian accessory for displaying identifying patches, increasing visibility, and holding essentials, such as medicine, paperwork, a wallet, phone, clean up supplies, or other small items. Attach like a cape to your dog’s harness, or wear it as a vest by adding a chest strap (be sure to order the chest strap separately!).

• Attaches easily to BLD’s Mobility Support and Balance Assistance Harnesses (MSH, BAH)
• Add a Chest Strap to use as a stand-alone service dog vest (available separately)
• Comfortable, adjustable, heavy-duty elastic belly band
• Easy to use metal quick-release buckle–a BLD exclusive!
• Integrated Velcro panels to attach patches–no sewing required!
• Velcro Patches available separately
• Medium Cape/Vest fits standard size BAH-MSH; Large Cape/Vest fits XL size BAH-MSH (no small size, sorry)

Professionally hand made in Colorado to BLD’s exacting standards. Machine washable.

Chest Strap Harness, available separately, permits this cape/vest to be worn without a harness. HARNESS and patches NOT INCLUDED–shown attached to harnesses for reference only.

FOR LEGITIMATE WORKING, SERVICE / ASSISTANCE DOGS ONLY.  IT IS ILLEGAL AND UNETHICAL TO IMPERSONATE A SERVICE DOG.

Made in the USA with premium, water-resistant, nylon fabric. Features reflective trim for visibility at night, reinforced seams, and edge binding for extra durability. Smooth, one-piece backing means there are no seams to irritate the dog. Webbing loops on the inside of vest are designed to let you replace the belly strap, or fit the vest to other harness styles. Our silver metal quick-release buckle is very easy to use! (Only available in Silver.) Unlike plastic buckles, it is easy to open and secure, even by those with limited hand strength. Machine washable (delicate cycle in a mesh bag is recommended); lay flat to air dry.

Have a BLD harness? This cape/vest is specifically designed to be compatible with the Mobility Support Harness, Balance Assistance Harness, and Everyday Working Harness. It lays on the dog’s back behind the harness saddle and does not interfere with the function of your harness, or overburden your dog. Velcro tabs attach the cape/vest to the d-rings on your harness. Flat, low-profile design does not catch on your legs as you walk next to your dog. If you have a BLD leather guide handle, we recommend adding key-rings or a clip to the harness d-rings to allow a little more space for the cape and guide handle to attach–just ask us if you need them.

This complete leather and shearling/sheepskin care kit contains everything you need to keep your BLD harness in good condition or restore a well-loved harness to like-new condition.

• Bick 4 Leather Conditioner–our favorite product for leashes and harnesses!
• Wide-toothed comb with wooden handle
• Eucalan Sheepskin Wash (single-use pod)
• Microfiber cleaning cloth for a quick dust-off
• Cotton jersey cleaning cloth for applying conditioner and polishing
• Harness Care instructions
• Contained in a sturdy resealable bag to keep it all together

Choose the size of the Bick 4 Leather Conditioner; 2 oz. trial size, medium 8 oz. bottle, or the big 16 oz. bottle. This product has no odor and is fragrance free. It’s so good you’ll want to use it on your leather shoes, belt, sofa, and car seats too! 

Bick 4 Leather Conditioner accomplishes four important jobs: It conditions, cleans, polishes, and acts as a water and stain repellent, making it ideal for keeping leather soft while preventing the leather from drying and cracking. There is no odor or fragrance, and it’s super easy to use. It is effective on all smooth, finished leathers, including exotics. Unlike other brands, Bick 4 is a wax-free product that will not seal pores of leather thereby affecting breathability. Bick 4 will not darken any colorfast leather or deteriorate the stitching. Bick 4 leaves no oily residue and is safe to use on leather boots, shoes, bags, purses, jackets, saddles, belts, furniture, vehicle interiors, and exotic skins.

Poodle Comb: this wide-toothed comb has a comfortable wooden handle is the perfect tool to maintain the shearling wool/sheepskin lining on your harness. Maintaining our sheepskin padding is easy! Brush the wool to remove debris and dog hair, restore the loft and cushioning, and to allow for air flow to keep your dog comfortable and cool in hot weather. Use the comb to lift the fibers away from the leather skin, working in short, strong strokes. For best results, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, dirt, and dog hair.

Eucalan Sheepskin Wash: A convenient and easy to use fine fabric wash that’s specifically made to clean and protect natural fibers and sheepskin. Unscented, no-rinse formula contains lanolin to clean, condition, and protect the wool fibers from moths and dust mites. 5ml single-use pod – makes one gallon of cleaning solution. BLD only uses washable sheepskin. Learn more from the manufacturer here (https://eucalan.com/laundry-lessons/sheepskinfur-leather)

Two cleaning cloths: The black microfiber cloth is great for a quick and easy wipe down; when used dry a static charge attracts dirt and dust. The white cotton jersey cloth is ideal for applying conditioner and polishing.

Harness Care directions are included in this kit, can be found in your harness owner’s manual, and here on our website along with videos.

The 8-Way Lead™ is our most popular leash design for people who are serious about quality dog gear. This European style, multi-functional lead is so versatile it’s like having eight leashes in one!

Our 8-Way Leads features a bolt snap at each end, 3 fixed rings, and one loose ring. This leash does NOT HAVE A FIXED LOOP HANDLE, rather, it has a bolt snap at each end so you can use the leash in any configuration. This means that you can form a loop handle by clipping the bolt snap at the "handle-end" onto the first fixed ring. As with all leashes handcrafted in our own workshop.

6 ft. 8-Way Functionality Highlights

• Just over six feet long at approximately 82 inches/208 cm long from bolt snap to bolt snap.
• Can be shortened or lengthened to make variable lengths (6, 4 ½, or 3 ½ foot lead)
• Excellent as a hands-free leash that can be worn across your body by placing the leash over your shoulder (6 ft. version is approximately 4.5 ft. from your shoulder to the dog)
• Dual Control Option: you can connect one end of the leash to a training collar, and one to a regular collar
• Great for obedience training, service dogs, pet dogs, and for use with head collars or harnesses
• This multi-functional lead can be clipped to a collar or harness, or may be used as a slip-collar for effective yet gentle training

8 ft. long 8×8 Lead™

The 8 ft. long 8×8 Lead™ has all the same features, but is eight feet long with the handle configured, and approximately 105"/266 cm from bolt snap to bolt snap.

• This extra-long lead is designed for tall or larger people and/or short or small breed dogs
• It shortens to a 6, or 4 1/2-foot lead
• When worn hands-free over the shoulder, it’s approximately 6 ft. from your shoulder to the dog

Extra size info:

Occasionally we have awesome leather that is a little thicker or wider than our standard offerings.

M/L 9/16" (15.2 mm) is just a little wider than half-inch. It's a great width if you like a bigger/wider leash with medium hardware.

THICK: Sometimes we have extra thick leather! This heavy-weight leather offers a sturdier feel without extra width, it's close to 1/4" (6 mm) thick.
