Dog leashes

Why your dog needs a lead

The dog lead fulfills three important requirements:

1. It connects you with your dog
2. It gives your dog security through your guidance and he can orient himself to you
3. The leash allows you to protect your dog in tricky situations.

You should therefore pay particular attention to the dog lead. Also consider whether you want a collar or a harness for your pet. Not every lead is equally suitable for both options.

Why choosing the right leash is so important

The right lead makes all the difference. Depending on your dog's size, weight and temperament, you will need a sturdy and comfortable lead. Leads are suitable for relaxed walks, while drag leads are ideal for training and running free. When choosing, make sure that the materials are comfortable to hold and durable.

Security and control

A high-quality dog lead offers you the safety and control you need to guide your dog safely through various situations. Whether you're out walking in the city or hiking, a sturdy lead protects your dog and gives you the control you need.

Comfort for dog and owner

Dog leads from SABRO are designed to provide comfort not only for your dog, but also for you. Ergonomic handles and lightweight materials ensure that even long walks remain pleasant. With padded handles and adjustable lengths, they offer you maximum control and comfort.

Durability and robustness

Our dog leads are made of hard-wearing materials such as leather, tear-resistant outdoor rope or nylon - which last a long time even with intensive use. SABRO attaches particular importance to quality so that you can rely on your leash in any situation.

In our range, you will find a wide selection of dog leads that are tailored to different needs: classic lead leads, robust drag leads and practical urban trail models.

Different types of lines for different needs

The term dog leash is generally used as a collective term. This includes all types of leashes that are used for walking, training and working together. Chains and ropes, on the other hand, are prohibited.

Dog leashes at a glance:

• Classic leashes (1.5 to 2 meters long) are very popular and are suitable for daily walks. You can walk your dog in a relaxed manner with a lead, even in busy streets. At the same time, a larger radius of action is possible if you walk through the park and don't disturb anyone.
• A short lead (up to 0.5 meters long), on the other hand, is suitable for large dogs that need to run close to you. A longer lead will only get in the way. They are used during training, for example, or for short walks.
• You use the drag line (up to 20 meters long) for training if you want to teach your dog the rules of conduct when running free. As with the flexi lead, you may only use a dog harness with the drag lead. A collar is not suitable here.
• Flexi-leashes (retractable) are often used by owners whose dogs cannot be recalled. We advise against this type of leash as it supports undesirable behavior and can lead to health problems.

Materials for dog leads

The best materials for dog leads are leather and wicker. A narrow nylon lead can leave painful burns and blisters on your hand if your dog has a particularly wild phase or gets frightened. If you choose nylon, make sure it's high quality, thick and soft, and has a padded handle.

• Leather leashes are pleasantly soft and can withstand high loads. However, this natural material should not be put in the washing machine. It requires regular care to keep it supple.
• Leashes made from outdoor rope (rope) are very robust, even for large and strong dogs. They are also suitable for long walks and are easy to wash by hand.
• Nylon fabric is very easy to care for and can be ordered in different colors. Even when it gets wet, it remains light and flexible like woven linen.
• Biothane leashes are waterproof, extremely durable and easy to care for. They combine the advantages of leather and synthetic material and are therefore ideal for active dogs and all weather conditions.

What you should look out for when buying a dog lead

Before you buy a dog lead, there are a few things you should consider to make sure you make the best choice for you and your dog:

• Your dog's size and weight: Choose a lead that suits your dog's size and strength. A thin lead is suitable for small dogs, while larger dogs need sturdier leads. SABRO offers leashes for many dog breeds and sizes.
• Choice of material: Nylon and leather are the most common materials for dog leads. Nylon is lightweight and waterproof, while leather is particularly durable and robust. Think about which material suits your needs.
• Type of lead: Consider whether you need a standard leash, retractable leash or training leash. Each leash has its own specific use, and it's worth choosing a leash that best suits your dog's activities.
• Safety features: For evening walks, reflective elements on the lead are important to ensure that you and your dog are clearly visible.
• Collar or harness: Not every lead is suitable for every type of connection. If your dog is wearing a collar, the lead should be as shock-absorbing as possible and not jerky - especially for dogs that like to pull. A harness distributes the pulling force better over the body and is suitable in combination with almost all types of lead - especially for young, active or sensitive dogs. Make sure that your leash model matches your dog's attachment method. SABRO leads are versatile and harmonize with our perfectly coordinated collars and harnesses.
• Age and ability to walk on a lead: Your dog's age and training level also play an important role in choosing the right dog lead. Puppies need safety and orientation above all - short, light leashes are suitable here, which do not overstrain the young dog and at the same time give you sufficient control. Young dogs that are still in the learning phase benefit from adjustable leads or drag leads that allow you to practice recall and orientation. Most types of lead are suitable for adult dogs that walk on a lead - comfort and personal preference are the deciding factors here. Older dogs or animals with physical limitations often need shorter, easy-to-control leads that allow them to be walked safely and provide additional stability. At SABRO, you will find the right lead for every stage of your dog's life - tailored to their needs.

How to properly care for and clean dog leads

To ensure that your dog lead lasts a long time and always stays in top condition, there are a few care instructions that you should follow:

• Regular wiping: Leashes made of nylon, fabric or rope can simply be wiped down with a damp cloth after every walk to remove coarse dirt and moisture.
• Leather care: Leather leashes should be treated regularly with a leather care product to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
• Storage: Hang your dog lead in a dry place to prevent mold growth, especially if it has become wet after a walk in the rain.

Checking the carabiner: Make sure that the carabiner and the seams of the leash are checked regularly for wear and tear to ensure that it remains secure even under heavy use.
