Leading the way…

Choosing the right lead can make walks safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable for both you and your dog. At Bew Dogs, we offer both rope leads and fabric leads designed with comfort, durability, and style in mind.

What Are Rope Leads?

Rope leads are made from durable, braided materials and are strong yet lightweight. They’re perfect for everyday walks and casual outings.

Key features:

• Suitable for dogs of all sizes
• Comfortable grip for owners
• Strong hardware, safe for larger dogs
• Ideal for everyday walks, park trips, and town strolls

Best for:

• Owners who want a lightweight, durable, stylish lead
• Owners that want a curated set with leads complimenting other dog walking essentials

Not suitable for:

• Heavy no-pull training
• Technical behavioural or control situations

What Are Fabric Leads?

Fabric leads are typically made from woven cotton, nylon, or recycled materials, often with padded handles. They offer soft comfort for your dog and are often eco-conscious.

Key features:

• Comfortable for long walks
• Variety of colours and patterns
• Strong enough for most small to medium, and some larger, dogs
• Eco-conscious, thoughtfully packaged

Best for:

• Very small dogs, if a rope lead feels too bulky
