The six foot long 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 standard 8-Way Lead is just over six feet long at approximately 82 inches/208cm long from bolt snap to bolt snap. It features a bolt snap at each end, 3 fixed rings, and one loose ring. This leash does NOT HAVE A LOOP HANDLE, rather it has a bolt snap at each end so you can use the leash in any configuration. All Brahma leads are assembled with screw posts (no braids).
Functionality Highlights
- Can be shortened or lengthened to make a 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 (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 the regular collar
- Great for use with head collars or harnesses
- Excellent for Schutzhund/protection work, obedience training, service dogs, and everyday use
- 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

There are several options available for you to select from when ordering your new leash:
- Available with a belt feature ($): Selecting this option will add an Adjustable Ring and fob to the middle section of the leash to allow the leash to be worn hands-free around the waist.
- 8×8 version ($): Same features, just longer! Eight-foot-long 8×8 Lead makes an 8, 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. Approximately 105? from bolt snap to bolt snap, this extra-long lead is designed for tall or larger people and/or short or small breed dogs. Made to order. Select the option “Make it Longer” to order this version.
- Chew Resistant Chain version ($): This variation is made with a premium stainless-steel chain at the dog-end for dogs that are tempted to bite at their leash. This option replaces the Brahma at the “dog end” of the leash with 24 inches of chain and omits the loose ring feature. If you wish to use the collar feature, simply clip the snap directly to the chain. Made to order. Select the hardware option to “Make with Chew Resistant Chain.” Only available in ¾” wide (19 mm).
