Product Description

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, the 8-Way comes with our unmatched Lifetime Warranty.

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™ 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

Materials & Guarantees

As always, we stand behind the quality of our in-house handmade products with a Lifetime Warranty on materials and workmanship. 

Please find complete warranty details here.

Did you know BLD products are designed to be repaired instead of replaced? Even if the item is not covered by our warranty (like for chewing), most damaged leashes can be repaired and made functional for a nominal fee.

The only vegan material that performs like leather.

Brahma is a coated webbing material constructed with poly webbing on the inside and a durable PVC coating on the outside. This material can take a beating through brush, muck, and saltwater. 

Key Benefits:

  • Ideal for any climate, weather condition, or activity 
  • Stays soft, never gets sticky or tacky
  • Feels similar to leather with a nice grip and suburb durability
  • Snag-free, knot-free, and won’t pick up dirt or brush
  • Doesn’t stink, absorb odors, or get slimy 
  • Maintenance free and easy to clean

Originally developed for the horse and ranch industry, it's incredibly strong and will last a lifetime. 

Caring for Brahma: Requires nothing special. Feel free to store it in your vehicle: it's unaffected by intense summer heat! It's super easy to clean, just dip it in a creek to rinse off the grime, or wash with soap and water (dish soap works great).

P.S. Coated webbings are sold under different brand names, like Biothane© and Brahma soft grip. We prefer the texture, durability, and performance of Brahma soft grip.
