An exclusive BLD product to ensure your dog stays securely connected. Safety cords are a smart, simple, and inexpensive accessory to keep your dog safe. Attach one to your leash, and now you can clip your leash to BOTH a collar and a training tool.
Having having two points of attachment provides peace of mind knowing your dog is still connected should something break or an accident occur. Use with flat collars, head halters, prong collars, martingales, front clip harnesses, or any type of training tool.
Safety Cords are great for:
- Houdini dogs who somehow wriggle their way out of their gear
- Reactive dogs and those prone to bolting and running away
- Rescues and shelters to keep dogs safe on walks (The ASPCA orders hundreds every year!)
Pro pricing discounts are available for bulk orders of 6 or more, mix and match. Please contact us to order in bulk.
Material Styles
Woven Safety Cords are made from a soft, lightweight tubular material. Woven Safety cords are 3/8 inch wide (9.5 mm.) and 9.5 inches long (24.1 cm.) including the bolt snap. Best choice for smaller width leashes.
Nylon Safety Cords are great for large to giant dogs; made from premium tubular nylon material and have a larger snap for extra strength and durability. Smooth Nylon Safety Cords 1/2 inch wide (12.7 mm.) and 10.5 inches long (26.7 cm.).
Flat Safety Cords are made from nylon webbing. Flat Safety Cords are 1/2 inch wide (12.7 mm.) and 9.75 inches long (24.8 cm.) including the bolt snap. Sturdy and resists fraying.
All varieties have lightweight zinc bolt snaps. Flat and nylon varieties are handmade in Colorado; woven variety made in Texas to BLD’s specifications.
How to use:
How to use:
- Attach the Safety Cord to your leash: feed the material through the eye on the leash snap; then take the Safety Cord snap and pass it through through the loop at the end (the Safety Cord stays attached to the leash so you only need to do this once)
- Connect your leash to the collar or harness as usual
- Finally, clip the safety cord to a different collar or harness
- Enjoy your walk!
Double-ended safety cord serves as a back-up attachment for your leash.
Use with head halters, prong collars, martingales, front clip harnesses, or any type of training tool as a fallback plan. Just in case. Why? Because sometimes you need peace of mind by having two points of attachment. Excellent option for Houdini dogs who somehow wriggle their way out of their gear or shake loose from the leash or harness.

- Always spin the lock completely closed when in use on the dog’s collar or leash to ensure the snap is locked
Caution! Locking Carabiner snaps must be fully locked closed when in use. Failure to spin the gate lock closed may cause the hook to bend out of alignment and fail. The lock sheath reinforces the hook part of the snap to make it secure. BLD’s leash warranty assumes proper use of this snap.

Introducing the new and improved BLD Martingale Collar!
Martingales are among the safest collars to use with a leash because there is no choking and dog's can't slip the collar.
These beautiful leather collars are made from the finest leather and highest quality stainless steel chain. Edges of the leather are beveled for a smooth edge for comfort and to protect your dog’s coat.
- Adjustable leather collar for walks and training
- Prevents dogs from slipping out of the collar
- Rust-free solid stainless steel chain
- Many sizes and widths to fit nearly any dog
- Lifetime Warranty on materials and workmanship
- Artisan handcrafted in Colorado, USA!
Sometimes called a half-check or limited-slip collar, it's designed to fit loosely, then partially tighten enough with leash pressure so the dog cannot back out of the collar. It's a great choice for small nervous dogs as well as large powerful dogs.
We've re-designed our popular Martingale Collar with a wider selection of neck sizes and widths from 5/8 inch wide for small dogs, and up to 1 1/2 inch wide for large breeds.
Warranty and info about our leather can be found below.
NOTE: Martingales are intended to be used with a leash; not recommended for full-time wear or when the dog is unsupervised for concern the chain could get caught on an object and trap the dog.
Styles
Select from two styles:
- Plain - sleek design has minimal hardware and slips over the dog's head; Conway adjustment buckle is smooth on the inside and won’t irritate your dog. The collar stays adjusted to the dog's neck size, plus, there's no excess "tail" to flap about.
- Buckle-style - has a regular buckle for adjustment; it can be buckled around the neck, or slipped over the dog's head.
FAQS
Frequently asked questions about BLD Martingale Collars:
Do you offer a clip-on style? For safety concerns, we no longer offer the clip-on style.
Can you add a quick release type buckle? No, sorry. Quick release type buckles are not available because the hardware required to make them takes up more than half of the dog's neck size.
Can I change the hardware to brass or gold color? No, sorry. We've discontinued the brass chains because the oxidation can stain dog's fur.
I'm not sure what width is best for my dog. What do you recommend? If your dog has a lighter frame, or is sensitive to gear, choose the narrower option. If your dog is burley and thick, like bull dogs and bully breeds, the wider option would be great.
My dog's neck is in between sizes. What size should I order? Our collars are designed with a little extra room than the stated size range. If your dog is young and in-between sizes, size up to allow a little room should your dog fill out or gain weight. A larger collar can always be adjusted smaller.
