At High Tail Hikes, we believe that high quality gear makes every walk, hike, or training session easier, safer, and more enjoyable. In addition to our custom BioThane leashes, long lines, and collars, we offer a full range of BioThane accessories designed to make your walks easier, more organized, and more safe!
Here we highlight our top accessories, but check out the full selection in our Accessories Collection!
Traffic Handles – Extra Control When You Need It
A traffic handle is a standalone loop handle that can clip to your dog’s collar or harness, allowing you to secure them quickly when needed. Traffic Handles are perfect for:
✔ Crowded areas – Busy sidewalks, crossing streets, or navigating tight spaces.
✔ Reactive dogs – Quickly regain control when encountering triggers.
✔ Training & Safety – Helps manage your dog in high-distraction environments.
✔ Safety Backup Up While Hiking - Clip to your dog while off leash so you are able to secure them quickly if needed.
Choosing Your Traffic Handle
We offer stand-alone traffic handles in:
✔ Widths: ½” (Medium) or ¾” (Large) – Either are suitable for any size dog - choose the width that feels best to you.
✔ Lengths: 10”, 12”, or 14” – Choose based on your dog’s height, your hand size, and your preferred reach.
✔ Available in Brass or Sport Hardware
✔ Floating O Ring Add On Option – Allows you to clip your dog leash to the traffic handle for added versatility.
💡 Built-In vs. Stand-Alone Traffic Handle
✔ Stand alone: Can be used interchangeably with different leashes and clipped to the base of a long line.
✔ Built In: Integrated into your custom dog leash, so you’ll never forget it!
Safety Strap – Extra Security & Peace of Mind
A safety strap is a secondary point of attachment that provides backup security in case of equipment failure. Made from lightweight yet incredibly strong ⅜” BioThane, it’s designed to be non-intrusive while ensuring your dog stays safely secured. It's a great tool for shy, nervous, or reactive dogs, or for anyone who wants total peace of mind!
How to Use a Safety Strap
1️⃣ Leash to Collar – One end clips to your dog’s collar D ring, the other to the base of the leash (below the swivel). If the leash clip accidentally opens, or your harness fails, your dog remains secure.
2️⃣ Collar to Harness – One end clips to the collar, the other to the harness. If either comes off, the other piece of gear keeps your dog attached.
✔Available in 3/8" width and in 4 length options. Measure the distance from your dog's collar D Ring to your leash clip, and add a couple of inches for slack.
✔ Custom sizing available – Contact us if you need a specific length!
Waist to Leash Strap – Hands-Free Freedom
The Waist to Leash Strap converts any BioThane leash or long line into a hands-free dog leash, making it perfect for:
✔ Hiking & running – Keeps your hands free while maintaining control.
✔ Multi-tasking – Carry gear, push a stroller, or hold a coffee while walking.
✔ Training – Helps teach leash pressure skills while keeping your hands relaxed.
Features:
✔ Clips to any leash handle or long line for hands-free use.
✔ Adjustable length for comfort and security.
✔ Made from durable, waterproof BioThane—stays clean and odor-free.
