Martingale Leads

This loop on loop system is traditional to sighthound breeds. It prevents the dog from escaping by tightening up if the dog tries to back out. Another common name for this style is a “walking lead”. The all-one-piece construction makes it very quick to get on and off your dog – no struggling with a clumsy snap. Hardware is attached by either a triple stitch or an extremely tight buttonhole stitch for maximum strength.

These gorgeous, designer martingale leads come in three widths and four sizes so you can find your perfect match. While most commonly used with sighthounds, they look great with almost any breed with a long, clean neck. The quick on and off over the head make them desirable for use in performance venues where a quick release is needed. The one inch size martingale lead has been popular with medium size dogs such as cocker spaniels and terriers.
