The Traditional Leather Lead Co

The Traditional Leather Lead Co High quality English bridle leather dog collars, leads and harnesses traditionally styled and hand crafted, using centuries old English saddlery techniques.

The Traditional Leather Lead Company was established as a company in 2014. Every single aspect of my English bridle leather dog ware draws on a lifetime of experience in handling, training and working dogs, coupled with instructing prospective and current dog handlers in a huge variety of disciplines. On a personal level these include companion animal training (for myself and others), competition

obedience, competition agility, gun work, running dogs, shepherding and falconry. My career related dog experience ranges from me being the youngest Guide Dog Mobility Instructor to be trained in the UK at the time, to working as a Police dog handler, explosive search dog handler, drug dog handler, through to planning and running courses in security and protection dog handling, explosive, drug, cash, fi****ms, missing person, to***co and parasite detection. After 40 plus years of training and working all manner of breeds for all manner of jobs, I understand completely that the equipment you use must be up to the job. Every single item that leaves my workshop is made exclusively by hand for you, completely from scratch from start to finish, with the finest materials that I can source. Experience, function, longevity and quality are at the heart of everything that leaves my workshop. Paul.

Places an order, despite seeing all of my lead time information, then contacts me aggressively and very rudely every 2 days since, asking where his lead is, over a period of three weeks.

Despite spelling it out to him every single time, it continues.

Hopefully this will help to get the message across!

I will not tolerate rudeness from anyone in my life, and I will always respond accordingly.

Manners cost nothing, but sometimes you need to speak in a way that they understand.

Have a great day all.

They say that dogs look like their owners. I don't know about that, but I definitely feel like how Trigger looks this week.

A knackered, frizzled mess who just wants to crash on the sofa and dream of open fields!

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend, give your dogs some love, and if the temperature reaches what is predicted, don't let them overdo it.

See you on Tuesday.

A custom training lead, with an emerald flare, made to replicate my customer's existing lead (another one that I made many years ago).

A selection of different sized 'Military style' flat collars, ready to head to a UK Police dog section.

As an alternative to name tags, I've fitted these solid brass engraved plaques instead.

When you're hunting for suspects in the dead of night, the jingling of a name tag can give away the dog's location.

I don't engrave these myself, so I order them in when needed for the additional price of £14.00 fitted.

You only have to tell me what you'd like on it.

I have always put a ring in the handle of every lead I've made (unless asked not to), as it makes it very easy to wear the lead around your shoulders when your dog is off-lead.

A handle ring also allows you to halve the length of your lead when needed, keeping your dog closer to you.

Clip the clip to the collar, clip the ring to the clip and you instantly have a shorter lead!

Great for when you're at the pub, sat watching horsey things, or for whenever you need to keep your pooch on a shorter rein.

I'd love to hear how you guys use the ring in your lead handles.

Paul.
