A drag leash is a light weight leash that is designed to be used by trainers who want to let their dog drag a leash so they can quickly grab the line to either control the dog or to give a correction. A drag line should not have a loop handle. When dogs drag a leash with a looped handle their hind legs are constantly getting tangled in the loop. This can cause a bad injury if the dog is running and it trips them. I have heard of dogs actually breaking a rear leg when this happened while they were running.

Our Leerburg dog training leashes are the finest leather dog leashes that money can buy. They are made from soft Latigo leather. You will never find a leash of this quality in any pet store or dog food warehouse.

The snaps on our leather dog leashes and collars are made from the highest quality hardware. These snaps are generally sewn and then pop riveted to insure the highest security available. This is very important in Schutzhund and police protection training where a broken leash can cause disaster.

You can buy a cheaper leash at any store in your town, but you will NEVER buy a better quality leash anywhere.

Check out our Equipment Page to see other hand-made leather items including puppy leashes, traffic leashes, collars and more!

The first thing I look at on a leash is its snap. The snap needs to be the finest quality construction possible. The snaps on our leather leads are high quality imported hardware. A snap that fails can result in a loose dog that could cause any number of problems, such as:

• Bite someone (in the case of a police dog or a personal protection dog)
• Run into the street and get hit by a car
• Result in a dog fight

Remember snaps don't break while the leash is hanging off the dog's neck. They break when the dog is straining into the leash trying to get something or go somewhere.

The next thing to look for in a good leash is to see how the snap is attached to the leather leash. If the leash is wide enough, the snaps should be sewn and pop-riveted.

Hi Cindy,

I just wanted to write you and comment that you really do have THE BEST leashes. I purchased a leather drag leash and two handled leather leash, and they are incredibly soft and equally strong. I cannot believe how superior they are to other leather leashes I have purchased. Thank you for providing such outstanding products!!

Ed,

I ordered the Amish leather leash that you carry and I just received it yesterday. I was a little skeptical regarding the quality of the leather on construction considering it is relatively inexpensive for a leather leash. I am amazed in the quality of the leather and construction. I can't believe how soft the leather is and how comfortable it feels in your hands. Just wanted to say thanks for carrying only quality products.

I have done a lot of reading on dog training and I haven't come across anyone that is more of an advocate of the prong collar than you so I was unsure about using one. My pup that is 18 weeks now started getting into the habit of pulling on the leash about 3 weeks ago and I wanted to stop this behavior before it developed into a problem. I tried using a choke collar but that had no effect on stopping my pup pulling. All that happened was he was choking him self. After reading many of your training articles and watching the basic obedience video I decided to give the prong collar a try.

I can't believe the results. It was like he was trained to walk on the leash without pulling in 30 seconds. Now, 3 days latter, I can get him to heel or just stay close without any tension on the leash. I have to say the prong collar is an amazing training tool.

I tried doing a search to find a negative effects from the prong collar but to no avail I couldn't find any solid information. All I found was these so-called trainers saying it was inhumane to use because it causes pain to the dog and a halti should be used. I completely disagree. What's more inhumane, a dog that wears a prong collar and learns not to pull or a dog that pulls so had he chokes himself every walk he goes on.

Thanks for all of your quality information and products and I look forward to doing business with you in the future. This is the place I will be getting all of my dogs products from now on based on the quality I have seen from the leash, training video, and your invaluable advice.

Thanks,
George

The quality of the leather is extremely good I can not get this quality in Europe. I passed your address on to some other people in Europe and in the USA who have interest in your products.

Kind regards,

Ed,

I wanted to let you know that I received a 6' Amish leather lead I ordered from you today. As you probably know, to many people a lead is a lead. Most people just want it to be 6' leather and of passable quality. I have had many leads over the years that I have paid varying amounts for. I have to say that your lead is the best I have ever had. The weight and thickness of the leather is great, and the soft supple high quality of the leather makes it a pleasure to handle. Most lead require a couple of weeks or months to break in before they are comfortable in the hand and flexible enough to be easy to handle quickly. Yours' is broken in and ready to use from day one. I also want to let you know that I have found your videos to be very clear and informative.

I just wanted you to know that I made a purchase from you on-line a few months ago. I've ordered leashes on the internet before, but yours were just wonderful. Not only was I impressed with it, I've had people stop me and ask where I purchased it!! I was very pleased with the whole order, including the video tape and the undercoat rake. Thanks for selling high quality products!!!

Just want you to know that I LOVE these leashes. I had one that lasted me forever, then was chewed into 11 pieces last week. :( I guess the dogs like 'em too. It was time to reorder anyway. Thanks for supplying such a great product, at such a great price!

I searched "google" for Leather Dog Leashes, and your site was on the 1st page; and indeed the description of the product and the price seems to be world class. Can't wait to start to use this leash!! Thanks & have a nice day.

Kind Regards,

Ed,

I want to thank you for the very nice amish leashes that you have brought to customers. I was using a leather leash that I bought from PetSmart, and the quality does NOT compare to that of the Leerburg amish leather leash. PetSmart leather leashes are heavy, stiff, bulky and cheap. Not only that, but the stitching was wearing off, as well, and I only had purchased it a few weeks back. My 1 year old Malinois would pull hard on the leash (not anymore, thanks to your Obedience and Dominant dog DVDs), so I decided for the sake of safety to get a good quality leash. I have given countless prong collar corrections, ranging from levels 1 to 10, and the Leerburg leash has not given up on me. A dominant dog collar has also been used with this leash, and the leash still holds up very well.

Thanks!
Julio
