A great accessory for training dogs in open countryside, this UV-resistant and weatherproof Heim dog lead is made from robust and durable BioThane®. The surface of the lead is very easy to grip, yet comfortable to hold, and it can be used for training, or as a drag or tracking line. Biothane®is a US-patented material made up of a PU-coated high-tech polyester webbing that is very robust and rip-resistant, and able to stand up to even the strongest tugging. The lead has no hand loop, so it can slide safely along behind your dog, even through thick undergrowth or bushes, without tangling or getting caught. The smooth, waterproof coating of the Biothane® material does not attract water or dirt, making it easy to keep clean, antibacterial and mould-resistant.

Good to know
- Attach long lines to a harness, never a collar, to protect the neck if your dog hits the end at speed.
- Never use a head collar with an extendable lead or long line. A sudden stop can jerk the head.
- Lock an extendable lead short near roads and keep your fingers away from the cord.
Common questions
Does my dog legally have to wear a collar?
Yes. The Control of Dogs Order 1992 requires dogs in public places to wear a collar showing the owner’s name and address, on the collar itself or on a tag. Working and assistance dogs have some exemptions. Your dog can also wear a harness, but it needs the collar and tag as well.
Is a harness or a collar better for my dog?
A harness is usually better for dogs that pull, small and flat-faced breeds, and dogs with neck or breathing problems, as it keeps pressure off the throat. A collar is still needed for the ID tag. Many owners use both: collar for ID, harness for the lead.
