Top 10 Reasons to Invest in a BioThane Long Leash or Long Line for Your Dog 

We might be biased, but we believe a BioThane leash or long line is one of the most valuable and versatile pieces of gear for any dog guardian. Here’s why!

1. BioThane Long Lines Are Strong and Durable

A durable leash is a must for any pup - especially pups who love to adventures - and genuine BioThane is built to last. Manufactured in the USA, BioThane undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it holds up to daily use, UV exposure, and all kinds of weather.

✔ Break strength of 1,000 lbs per inch of width – strong enough for the most determined pullers!
✔ Waterproof and UV-resistant – BioThane won’t fade, crack, or fray.
✔ Lightweight yet durable – BioThane retains its strength and flexibility for years.

💡 Tip: Always make sure your leash is made with genuine BioThane, not cheaper coated webbing that lacks the same quality and testing. Read more about why you should choose genuine BioThane for your leash or long line.

2. BioThane Is Waterproof – Perfect for Outdoor Adventures

A waterproof dog leash makes life so much easier. Unlike fabric or rope leashes that get heavy, soggy, and stinky BioThane will not absorb moisture or odor. No more wet, stinky leashes after rainy walks or beach trips!

✔ Dries in minutes – just wipe it off or hang it up after use, and it'll dry super quick!
✔ Stays lightweight and visible in water – won’t sink like nylon or rope.
✔ Ideal for beach outings, hikes, and wet conditions - won't absorb sand, mud, dirt, or the smell of that disgusting thing your dog rolled in!

3. BioThane Long Lines Are Easy to Clean

If your leash gets dragged through mud, sand, or who knows what, no worries! Cleaning your leash is as simple as:

1️⃣ Dunk or soak the leash in soapy water
2️⃣ Clean stubborn spots with a soft sponge or towel
3️⃣ Rinse and towel dry

Your leash will look good as new—no lingering smells, no stains, and no hassle. 💦

4. BioThane Is Odor-Proof and Antimicrobial

Say goodbye to stinky, bacteria-laden leashes! BioThane is naturally stink-proof and resists mold, mildew, and bacteria—making it an ideal choice for dogs that love rolling in the dirt or splashing in water.

✔ Perfect for dogs with sensitive skin – less irritation and matting.
✔ Easy to sanitize – great for dog trainers, walkers, shelters, and dog day cares. Simply spray with Kennel Sol and hang to dry. Read more about cleaning and sanitizing your BioThane gear. 

5. Superior Grip & Comfort

A quality leash should feel comfortable in your hand. Unlike slippery nylon or stiff, heavy  rope, BioThane has a soft, grippy texture that:

✔ Provides a secure hold – even when wet!
✔ Prevents leash burn – no rough edges or chafing.
✔ Stays flexible in all weather – no stiffening or cracking over time.

💡 Extra control needed? Add a built in traffic handle for easier handling in busy areas or wet conditions!

6. A BioThane Long Line Gives Your Dog More Freedom

A long line gives your dog freedom to explore their surroundings and walk at a pace that's comfortable for them while still keeping them safe. Long lines are perfect for training, hiking, or improving the quality of your dog's walks when off-leash isn’t an option, or when you want to prioritize your dog's safety. 

Allowing your dog to explore, sniff, move their body freely, walk at a natural pace, and do other “dog stuff” are all critical to to your dog's quality of life and overall well being! 

✔ Encourages natural movement – a longer leash lets dogs sniff, walk at their natural pace, and explore their surroundings, while staying safe. 
✔ Perfect for training – long lines are ideal for training recall and leash skills.
✔ Versatile for all different adventures - choose the length that best fits you and your pup's needs and preferences!

7. A Long Line Provides Safety & Peace of Mind

Even in off-leash areas, a long dog leash can be an essential safety tool. It keeps your pup secure while still allowing them freedom to explore. Environments can be unpredictable and we simply cannot control for all of the variables in the world - including other dogs, wildlife, people, loud noises, fireworks, or other triggers that may be sudden and unpredictable.

Even in places where off leash is permitted, more dog guardians are electing to use long lines to help keep their dogs safe. Plus, without having to worry about safety as much, you can focus on enjoying your time in the world with your dog! 

✔ Prevents unpredictable run-ins – with wildlife, strangers, or other dogs.
✔ Essential for shy, nervous, or reactive dogs – ensure your dog stays safe even when there is an unexpected sound, trigger, or scary event. 
✔ Gives you confidence in new environments - Traveling? New walking location? Explore with peace of mind with a long line. 

With a long leash, you can relax and enjoy the adventure, knowing your dog is safe!

8. A Long Line Respects Others in Public Spaces

Not everyone loves dogs (we know—hard to believe!). A long dog leash helps ensure your pup stays under control in shared spaces, giving peace of mind to:

✔ People with fears or past trauma around dogs.
✔ Guardians of nervous, injured, or reactive dogs.
✔ Anyone who prefers not to be approached.

Leashing your dog shows respect for others in public spaces. It sends a simple and powerful message that you care about both your dog's safety and the safety of others you are sharing space with. Having your dog on a long line is a way to put others at ease that they do not have to worry about unwanted interactions, without having to say a word!
