Frequently Asked Questions
Our leashes are handcrafted from BioThane®, a waterproof and stink proof coated webbing made in the US. BioThane is incredibly strong while still being lightweight, doesn’t absorb water, odors, or dirt, and is a cinch to clean, making it an ideal material for dog gear.
Read more →
BioThane® is exceptionally strong for its weight, with a minimum 1,000 lb break strength per inch of width. An intact BioThane leash paired with quality hardware will hold up to even the strongest pullers. That said, BioThane (like any leash material) is not chew‑proof - it’s engineered for tensile force, not teeth. Please don’t leave any dog unattended while wearing a leash. If chewing happens, reach out - we may be able to repair or offer a discounted replacement.
We offer five core leash styles - pick based on your lifestyle and activities:
- Quick Ship Leash - Our classic loop‑handle leash. Ships in 2–5 business days with free returns.
- Custom Leash (Bestseller) - Fully customizable (length, width, colors, hardware, add‑ons). Ships in 3 - 10 business days.
- Simple Hands Free Leash (Customer Favorite) - Lightweight and streamlined, with a convertible handle for hands free use and custom add-ons available. Ships in 3-10 business days.
- Multiway Hands Free + Convertible Leash (Original Bestseller) - Our most versatile design; wear/use 8+ ways (standard, hands free around the waist or crossbody, multiple length options, and more), custom add-on options available. Ships in 3 - 10 business days.
- Drag Line - A leash with no handle for a lightweight “off‑leash” feel. Low‑profile design is less likely to snag; optional D‑ring at the end lets you clip a traffic handle when needed. Ships in 3 - 10 business days.
Quick tip: Not sure where to start? Our Custom Leash and Simple Hands‑Free Leash are the most popular everyday picks.
Leash Width: Choose based on your dog size and preferred leash feel:
- 3/8" - Small dogs (under 30 lb). Light in hand yet strong.
- 1/2" - Small-medium (up to 60 lb) or anyone who prefers a lighter feel.
- 3/4" - Medium-large (60+ lb), strong pullers, or for a more “traditional” leash hand feel.
Leash Length (activity guidance):
- 4 ft : Short car-to-trail transfers or ultra close quarters.
- 6 ft : Standard leash length.
- 8, 10, or 12 ft : Our most popular everyday lengths; give your dog freedom while keeping them safe.
- 15 ft - Perfect for hiking, decompression walks, and recall practice.
- 20 ft - Great for beach trips, camping, and travel - extra room to roam while staying safe.
- 30 ft - Sniffaris, big open fields, SniffSpots, and backyards. Not advised for beginners.
New to long lines? Start with something just a few feet longer than your current leash (e.g., 6 ft → 10 ft), then increase length as you and your dog get comfortable.

To clean your leash, soak in warm soapy water, gently clean with a towel or sponge, rinse and dry. Always rinse your leash and hardware with fresh water after a beach trip. Store your gear dry and in an area out of the sun (to reduce UV damage) with good ventilation.
To keep your brass clip working well, periodically clean and then add a few drops of penetrating oil such as WD-40 into the clasp/spring mechanism and open and close multiple times to help clear gunk.
Brass hardware will not rust but may develop a patina over time (can be cleaned/polished); black hardware will show cosmetic wear over time and/or rust if stored wet.

This is my third leash from High Tale Hikes and I have nothing but good things to say! The quality is amazing, the biothane is great for people with dexterity issues, and the customization aspect is unmatched. My first leash is a year old and as it’s worn I’ve only loved it more. My second leash was loved a little too harshly by my puppy (I’m still sad as it was the special edition pride month one), and I was so sad I purchased my third the same day! I love this small business and can’t wait to add a custom collar to match the leash that has become a permanent part of our everyday lives! (Pictures below are of first and second leash)
Wow, thank you Kyra! We sure do appreciate your love and support of HTH! Nothing better than rolling in the grass! (we love the pictures!!)
These are the only leashes I use to walk my dog. I have 3 or 4 of the 1/2inch hand free convertible leashes with several different lengths. I prefer using the 6’ for everyday walks. Such high quality and so easily to clean! Will absolutely be purchasing more
We wish you many amazing adventures with your HTH gear! Thank you so much Bailey!

This was an upgrade for me from a store-bought crossbody leash that was a little too short for my sheltie/iggy mix to avoid being underfoot all the time, and I'm so happy I did. This hands-free leash is hands-down my favorite of the items I ordered. I chose the 1/2" width even though my dog is only 16-17lbs - the skinnier version just looked TOO skinny for the length I wanted, especially since I got her the 1" collar.
I'm not sure why there are those coating "ripples" on the wide part of the lead, but they don't impact function and don't bother me. I did not see the same texture on the ID collar I also got.
I will be picking up an even longer convertible leash for training, and probably a 4ft lead as well (6ft is a little too long for us on potty breaks or vet visits, but I didn't realize you could custom order a shorter one!)
Happy to hear you are enjoying your new convertible leash Emily! Love those colors together too :)
I love this leash so much! I got the seafoam + lavender and the combo looks great. Helps on walks when I have to hold my dog's poop bag and other things.
YAY! Thank you Samantha, we love hearing that! And those colors are beautiful!
I had been using a 6 foot High Tail Hikes leash for our daily walks through the neighborhood, which was great! I had my eye on the hands free leash for a while but was hesitant to spend the money when I had a perfectly good leash. I’ve been using the hands free leash for a month now and cannot believe I waited so long to purchase it! I LOVE IT! I got the 12 foot length, so when I have it secured around my waist my pup has several more feet of leash compared to the 6 foot leash and it makes a world of difference! I very rarely hold the leash at all on our walks but when I need to, the biothane is easy and comfortable to hold. Highly recommend this product and this shop!
Happy to hear you didn't want any longer and that you're enjoying your new HTH gear! Thank you Tully's Mom!
This leash is very well made, but FYI the ocean color is more teal than sky blue like their instagram shows. Overall still a pretty combo. Pictured: ocean and midnight.
Thank you Anna! The colors you choose are so pretty! **We try our best to show the colors, its so hard in photos, everyones screens can be different, glad the Ocean and Midnight look so great together
This leash is awesome! I love the versatility of being able to go hands free or give my dog more room to wander at the full length. The customizations are great as well. I got the 10 footer with the traffic handle at 12". It's a comfortable height for me and I can still use it even when she's clipped in front. All the clips and rings make it easy to attach to my 20 ft long line. It is very well made and feels very secure. Plus it's really pretty! I went with the Forrest Green and Flamingo combo and love it.
Sounds like the perfect fit for your adventures! Hands Free makes it so easy to enjoy the day! Thank you Jessie!
This is my second hands free convertible leash and I love it as much as the first one! We use it daily and it’s great when I need her close to me or when I know she can roam around. I only wish they made matching harnesses so my OCD doesn’t drive me crazy as the harness I have isn’t an exact match lol but that’s a me problem I guess
Oh Rosa, I totally understand the OCD color match! We will put this on the 'wish list' you just never know THANK YOU!
We absolutely love everything we have gotten from High Tail Hikes! Durable, strong, and expertly made!
One of the best investments we made for our 11 month old lab/hound mix puppy! The durability, versatility, and craftsmanship of the lead has been so helpful as we train our new dog. We both feel more secure when wearing the lead cross-body and the ability to practice recall and leverage the traffic handle that we added on busy streets is added security.
Thank you so much, CJ! We’re thrilled to hear the leash has been such a great investment for you and your lab/hound mix pup. It sounds like you’ve built a setup that’s giving both freedom and security — exactly what we hope for with our hands-free designs and traffic handle options.
We’re so glad it’s helping with recall practice and making busy street walks feel more comfortable and confident for both of you. Wishing you many happy training adventures ahead! ✨
Love the versatility of this leash- extra length make it easy to wear around my waist so my hands are free. Nice material- light weight but strong and durable!
Cheers to many 'hands-free' adventures! Thank you Yvonne!
Absolutely love this hands-free convertible leash! It’s a total game-changer for walks, training sessions, and everyday outings. The versatility is unmatched—I can wear it around my waist, over the shoulder, or use it as a traditional leash depending on what we’re doing. It’s especially helpful for keeping my hands free while managing treats, training cues, or just sipping my coffee. The quality feels super durable, and the hardware is strong and reliable. I also love the feel of the material. Whether we’re hiking, training, or navigating the city, this leash gives me control and comfort. Highly recommend for any dog owner looking to simplify and elevate their walks!
Thank you Marisa! We are so glad you're enjoying your new HTH gear! Sounds like you'll be having some awesome adventures together!
We love this leash so much! We are often pushing a stroller with our toddler and walking the dog at the same time, so being hands-free has been incredibly helpful and has made walks together less stressful. Even when we’re not pushing the stroller we love to wear it. We feel much more secure knowing we can let go of the leash or hold onto it whenever we need. It’s strong sturdy and has several options to wear. We mostly wear it crossbody.
That is so wonderful! Thank you Heidi!, we appreciate you and hope you have many more adventures together!
The construction of this leash feels very strong and high quality. I love how you can wear/hold it in different styles, and the built-in traffic handle is super useful for city living. Thanks High Tail Hikes!
Thank you Katie! So glad you are loving your new HTH gear!
It works great for me as a sash while my service dog pulls me in my wheelchair.
Thank you Steven! I had not thought of this before, thank you for sharing how you are using the Hands-Free Option!
I love this dog leash so much, it’s stylish, comfortable, and multifunctional for so many walking methods! Love love love
That is great! Megan, we love hearing that, thank you so much!
I purchased the 12 ft hands free convertible leash (½ inch with brass hardware). I can’t rave enough about this leash! As it is convertible, I have plenty of options on how to use it. I tend to use it most as a crossbody leash when taking my puppy on walks. Being hands free allows me to reward him easily. My husband prefers to use it as a standard leash, so with just a quick snap to another D ring, he’s got a comfortable handle and nearly the full 12 ft length.
Love the lightweight BioThane too! Ozzy is just starting to discover the water so having a waterproof leash is a huge bonus! A quick swipe down the length of the leash and the sand is gone and the leash is dry.
Toughest part about this purchase was choosing the color. SO many choices! We also have a 30 ft long line from High Tail Hikes That we use for training and to give Ozzy a bit more freedom to explore when we are on the trail.
Love the quality and workmanship!
Thank you Lori! So glad you (and Ozzy) are loving your HTH gear! We appreciate you!
Exactly as advertised. The color is rich and vibrant. The leash is is comfortable in my hands and strong. The 7 foot length is perfect for walking in heel around stores and my dog is still able to lay down comfortably while I’m looking at things. It’s exactly what was looking for.
That is great Kari! So glad you are loving the functionality of your new gear! THANK YOU!
It’s just really long and impractical relative to what we were hoping for
Hello Harrison, I'm so sorry that you weren't happy with the length of the leash!
This leash is a revelation. The longer length (10' in our case) makes it easy to allow our dog to sniff and explore on our walks while giving us all the control in the world. We use it in all three of its configurations: standard grip, around the waist, and over the shoulder (great for no hands walks). The biothane material is super easy to clean and particularly good at the beach (just towel it off). Great stuff High Tail Hikes.
Joseph, thank you so much! We love hearing how much you enjoy all the flexibility your new Hands Free Convertible Leash is working for you!
Got this as a gift for my mom and she was instantly raving about it - so multi-functional and beautifully made!
Tressa - awww, thank you so much! I'm so glad that your mom loved the leash, what a sweet gift!
This is my daily driver (of leashes). It’s very well made and I love the different options for how to wear it; it can be a long line or a hands-free leash. Love all of the color options too. Arrived promptly and as described. 5/5 no notes
So happy to hear you are loving the functionality of your new leash! Thank you Kathryn!
