I'm using the black leather leashes with their prong collars along with a DD backup collar. These are for our night walks, when Jethro is the most reactive to *everything*. I got the one with the handle sewn in near the collar and I love it!
I finally understand the difference leather makes. It has strength, and heft, but is relatively light (say compared to a double sewn nylon web). Now I am lusting for those beautiful leather slip collars...
Back in the day, my dad made leather bags in Spain for a living. He swears by Ko-Cho-Line. I have one of his bags, that is about almost 40 years old! The damage is actually mostly from an over zealous cat I keep harassing him to make me some dog gear in the style of the back of the bag, but I don't think it's gonna happen. He did every part by hand, and I guess you have to be in practice.
Back to the OP - when I got the bag after 3 decades of sitting on a shelf, I used the Ko-Cho-Line. It smells bad for a while, but works great. I don't think you would need to use anything on the leashes unless they were sitting unused for a long time.

You guys make me want to put a crowbar in my wallet and join the leash and collar club.
Black or brown? Or, like Chet the Jet, brown for everyday and black for dressing up?
I have to admit, the Amish know what they’re doing. The stitching is so uniform and you can’t beat the security of the linked hardware. Not to mention they are really nice looking.
Hey Jenny, you can’t beat the collars you’re currently working with for regaining quick control with reactivity and the pulling issues. The leather slips are beautiful but to me, much more practical from a basic, lower necessity stand point.
We set goals for ourselves and our dogs all the time. It sounds like you’re working really hard with the kids. What about making the new, hand crafted, Amish slip (I like that word) collars YOUR reward for when you’ve got their heeling right where you want it.
Heck, I’d be so proud I’d order two sets (black and brown) for exactly the occasions Meredith mentioned.
I've been eying the leashes here for a a while now. But they don't have the size I want
I want a 4ft long 1/2 inch wide leash with a floating ring in the handle - pretty much just like the belt leashes only 4ft long. It would be perfect. Or even better add a second floating ring along the leash so you could also use it as a slip leash. Maybe I'll email someone there to see about the possibility of a leash like that.

I have this too, it works great for times you want/need a short leash.
I like the grip you get with this leather so much better than the nylon leashes I had been buying. Just no comparison.
I think the quality of this leash is so worth the money and actually it has paid for itself considering now I will not need to buy another one for a long, long time.
Before buying this LB leash, I had been through several of the nylon ones because that hardware on those others kept breaking.
For those of you questioning buying one, I swear, you will love it, and never need to buy another leash for at least the life of your dog, if not maybe forever.
