Let’s work together to create a totally unique custom design that suits all of your needs. Even if you’re not exactly sure what you need, just let us know what you want from your leash and we’ll make it work for you. Remember, we guarantee our work and our lifetime warranty stands behind the quality of this product. We know you are going to LOVE your new leash.
Brahma Leads: Soft-Grip leather alternative
Brahma Soft-Grip is constructed with webbing on the inside and a durable, non-tacky PVC coating on the outside. This durable material is great for any extreme weather condition, resilient in cold weather, and is resistant to abrasions. It’s kinder to the hands than webbing or rope, and also resists knotting and tangling. It is flexible, and has a nice weight and feel that resembles leather. It won’t give you rope burn or absorb dirt like rope or nylon leads. Easy to care for: just wipe clean with soap and water.
We use screw posts to fasten the handle and hardware, so there’s no stitching or rivets to wear out or come undone (braiding not available).
First, select the basics:
- Choose the color of brahma (see Brahma & Hardware Options tab for list of available colors)
- Select the width (M 1/2” or XL 3/4”)
- Color of hardware (Stainless Steel OR Brass)
Next, how would you like the leash to attach to the dog?
- A leash snap to attach to their collar or harness (See photos for hardware options):
- Standard bolt snap: This is our standard hardware and it’s the most reliable. Choice of either stainless steel (silver color) OR brass (gold color).
- Scissor/trigger snap: Some people find these easier to operate, but they are the least reliable hardware in our experience.
- If there’s a specific hardware part number you’d like, please notate your preference.
- Built-in collar: The Fastener-Free Collar is a great option. See it here.
Finally, tell us more about you and your dog and how you plan to use the leash.
What do you want the leash to do? What activities do you do with your dog? How will you use it? Understanding the purpose of the request will help us determine the best way to make your leash.
Points to consider…
- Hands-free options:
- Wear over your shoulder, like a sash
- Around the waist, like a belt
- Handle style:
- Regular loop handle
- Regular loop handle with O-ring (loose ring on handle)
- O-ring (no handle, leash ends in a plain O-ring)
- Bolt snap at end (no handle)
- Open handle (bolt snap, clips to ring 18″ from end)
- No handle (straight end)
- Adjustable length:
-
- Specify the lengths you need. Just do some measuring in the various positions and activities you will want to use the leash for!
- Perhaps you want to wear the leash hands free, and have enough leash so your dog can lay down, THEN shorten the leash when they stand up. Measure each position and pass the details along to us.
- Would you like fixed rings? Loose rings? Extenders? Swivels? Detachments? Other special features? All in one multi-dog leash? Whatever you like!
- Special assembly requests?
We will offer recommendations and advice, get you what you want, and find the best way to construct your dream leash. We are experts in this sort of thing, and know our materials and tooling methods well–we’ll be up front if a request can be made more elegant or improved by tweaking the design. Trust us to find a great solution for your needs!
If you like one of our existing leash designs, but only need minor changes to make it just right, this may be less expensive. Feel free to ask us if this is a good option for you!
Choose the width:
- ½” wide (12.7 mm): For most dogs, very sturdy for medium and large breeds
- ¾” wide (19 mm): For large breeds, this is a heavy-duty line (not recommenced for dogs under 80 pounds)
Choose the length:
Available in any length up to 25ft. If you’re looking for a longer lead, check out our Brahma tracking lead.
Hardware:
Brahma Leads come standard with stainless steel bolt snaps (silver color–looks great on all colors). These are the most reliable leash snaps we've found.
Brass/gold colored bolt snaps available upon request.
NOTE: In rare instances brass may tarnish and rub off on light colored / white dogs.

Lydia –
I got a 4-foot long, half-inch wide leash with a quick grab handle, a snap on the main loop handle, and a sliding ring fob so it could be worn around the waste. It’s absolutely perfect for me and my SDiT, with just enough length to keep her by my side and so she can lay down. Since it’s custom made, it doesn’t have anything I don’t need or use. Simple, yet I can’t imagine a more suitable leash!
