The 8-Way Lead™ is our most popular leash design. 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 Guarantee.

Width Size:
½” wide (12.7 mm): Suitable for most dogs, the half inch is our most popular and recommended size. Feels great in the hands without being too heavy, a great weight for longlines for medium to large dogs. Best for dogs over 20 pounds. – most popular! –
¾” wide (19 mm): For large and giant breeds, has a good, sturdy weight in the hand. Longer lengths are pretty heavy so it’s best for dogs over 80 pounds, or those who like a heavy leash in their hands.
