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.

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

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.
