FAIRWIN Leather Dog Leash 6 Foot - Braided Heavy Duty Training Leash for Large Medium Small Dogs Running and Walking (S:Width:1/2", Black)

I work at an animal shelter. I have 4 personal dogs and constant fosters, so the dog tools and supplies are a revolving door. I'm not a dog trainer, or a professional, I'm just an average Joe that uses a lot of dog stuff. I bought 4 of these leashes for my dogs and absolutely love them. 2 weeks later, I was gifted 4 high end name brand leather leashes that cost $60 each. Not worth it!! These faylife leather leashes arrive at your door already super soft and almost broken in. I used the fancy ones for a while but they just never felt right. I ended up losing a faylife leather leash and ordered a replacement. They come to you perfect, and only get better with being soaked in lake water and sand and mud and snow... Amazing price for a really perfect, durable, great looking leash.

I have a 26# Irish Terrier which is a very active dog so need a strong and durable leash. I have two older leashes from my two previous Irish Ierriers. This one is OK but for two issues.-The length is about 5'-4" long compared to my other two which are 6'. It is advertised as 6'.-The two ends are split and woven so looks fine....one of my other two are similar...BUT there is NO rivet on the ends. That means the tag end is exposed and a dog will quickly chew on that and destroy it. Luckily I have a rivet kit so fixed it myself. As I recall it shows rivets in the picture.Hopefully this will last and survive as long as my other two...one of which is at the end of its life from hard use....but I don't count on it due to questionable short cuts in construction.

I loved the first one I purchased so much that I ordered a second one to have as a backup!I have a 10 month old Aussie pup who's a pretty strong puller (improving every day), and I needed a leash that would be far kinder to hands than nylon, would provide a softer feel with some give, and that's priced at a point that I wouldn't be overly irritated if my little heathen chewed through it.This looked like it met my criteria. It arrived quickly and immediately exceeded my expectations. The leather is buttery soft and silky. It has a really nice weight. The snap is heavy-duty, and the handle design is nice and sturdy.Using this with my pup is a pleasure - the leather has a lovely elastic feel, so the nanosecond he gives to pressure on the lead (from pulling), he gets an instantaneous release. The leather is so soft that there's literally no risk of burning or chaffing if it's pulled through your hand, and since it's leather, it has a grippy feel that helps reduce hand fatigue. This is my go-to lead for training and walks and I never want to be without one! It's an incredible value, and with this level of craftsmanship, I expect it to last for years

This is a soft, supple, strong leash of good quality leather. A single strip of leather is used for the entire leash, the rivets at each end are used just to hold the end tabs down. The braiding is created by making little cuts in the leather and feeding the leash through these cuts - not by braiding different pieces together. This is important to me because it means the rivets aren't necessary to the leash, they're just cosmetic. If a rivet breaks, the leash will still function just fine. The only way for this leash to fail is for the leather itself to tear (or be chewed apart), or for the clasp to break (according to the description Fayville offers a lifetime warranty on the clasp, which they describe as solid copper, but it is brass-colored). I am very happy with this purchase - ordered a Small for my puppy who will be 30lbs when full-grown and this leash will hopefully be with us for many years.

Really like these leads. This is my second, only because I wanted another. The original is still going strong after two years. A little leather conditioner and regular use and it softens up and becomes flexible and really comfortable in your hands after the break in period

My husband is so so picky about our dogs leashes. I bought these on a whim because the price was so good and I'm so happy I did. We love them!!! This leash is so light weight. Which makes it easy for me to juggle both dogs and a baby stroller while out on walks. Super good quality. I will buy these again.

Supple leather leash. We’ve used it daily for a couple weeks now for our 20# dachshund. He’s pretty good on a leash with some light pulling; easily corrected with some quick jerks of the lead. He seems to respond better to the leather leash v. Nylon with the same collar. The leash has softened up quickly. It has a natural finish on one side that flakes a bit. It’s has slightly stretched. Super easy on the hands. Has a good weight to it. Smells like leather but not overpowering and doesn’t linger on my hands after.I gave it 4 stars as I think it’s great for our dog but may not be sturdy enough for bigger or stronger dogs.If your dog is a chewer, they might be particularly attracted to the braided sections. Our pup is a light chewer so it’s easy to get him off of it and if I’m being honest, it’s become his gentle cue to us to get going. Ha!

Excellent quality leash. Initially bought this as it’s what’s recommended to use at my puppy’s obedience class, but this is my go to leash for both dogs. It’s easy to attach a poop bag dispenser through the braided part in the handle and the clasp is very secure. It’s held up very well to the puppy putting it in her mouth. The stretching mentioned in other reviews is very slight and only noticeable when your dog really pulls hard on it. It has not appeared to permanently stretch at all. It’s very comfortable and lightweight for long walks and doesn’t hurt my hand at all like a rope leash does when my older Dane pulls. I like it so much I’m considering ordering a second one now that our puppy is almost old enough to go for walks.
