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.

Our Trainer recommended your long leashes for my pup to give him a little bit more freedom on his walks and help with his pulling. I have a 10 foot and a 20 foot. We use the 10 foot for regular neighborhood walks and the 20 foot for walks in the woods. These leashes have been a game changer for us! And on top of helping our walks to feel more relaxed the leashes are durable and come in great colors. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Michelle! We’re so glad your trainer recommended us and that your 10 ft and 20 ft long lines have been such a great fit for different adventures. It’s wonderful to hear they’ve helped make your walks more relaxed while giving your pup a little extra freedom to explore. We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the durability and colors, too! Thank you for your recommendation, and we wish you and your pup many more happy neighborhood strolls and woodland sniffaris. ✨
This is the do everything leash! Use it hands free or hold like a regular leash, I find that I wear it cross body most of the time. The traffic handle is amazing for walks in higher traffic areas and the smaller size is very comfortable for both me & my 5 1/2 month old puppy! The dark green & apple combo is super fun and the 10ft length seems perfect for everyday use (either on trail or in town).
Thank you Brandy! We are so glad you (and your pup!) are enjoying the functionality of your new long line!

I now realize that instead of buying 5 leashes, I could have just bought this leash. Practical, multi-purpose, sleek and stylish all in one. Very high quality hardware-the mark of a good leash!
Thank you so much, Michael! 💛 “The only leash you need” is quite the compliment! We’re thrilled you’re loving the versatility and that it can take the place of so many different leash setups.
We put a lot of thought into both the functionality and the hardware, so hearing that the quality stands out to you means a lot to us. Practical, multipurpose and stylish is exactly what we’re going for! 😄 Thank you for choosing High Tail Hikes, and we hope you and your pup enjoy many adventures together! 🐾
I could not be happier with this leash - it does not get tangled or dirty and allows my dog more freedom on walks. Its texture also makes it very easy to manage as a long leash, and the ability to secure it around my waist is extremely convenient.
Thank you so much Laura! We love hearing that you're enjoying your new HTH Gear!
Awhile ago, I had bought another leash with 2 tone color way and I absolutely loved it. My friends were jelly, and always preferred my dog's leash over their's. I decided to buy them their own leash over the holidays and they love it so much. Thank you for providing chic and functional leashes!!! We also love to support a women owned company!!! <3
That is fantastic! What a great compliment! THANK YOU Diana! We hope you and your friends have many adventures together with your HTH Gear!
I searched high and low for a hands free leash for a small dog. The hardware too big and the length too short for a little dog. This is the perfect option. So glad I found your website! High quality product!
YAY! I'm so glad to hear we had the perfect fit for you both! Thank you Andrea!
Love it
I was recently diagnosed with arthritis and have been looking for a hands-free leash with multiple clip options that will still give my pup a lot of length when we're out and about. The hands free + convertible brass leash for small dogs has been perfect! I have used it daily for several weeks now and am impressed by the quality of the biothane, the color, and most importantly the utility of it. We had been using a 10 foot biothane leash previously so I don't think this has changed my dog's experience of walking very much but for me it's been a game changer. I highly recommend it!
Sorry to hear of your diagnosis but so glad to hear your new High Tail Hikes Hands Free gear is working out so great for you! Thank you Stephanie!
The hands free leash is great esp on cold nights where I don't want to have my hands out of my pockets or when it's raining and I'm trying to juggle umbrellas on top of everything else. Construction is very sturdy so I have no concern about my dog lunging after a darting rabbit.
You're right, the cold nights and rainy days, hands-free sure is nice! Thank you G Kim! Happy Tails to you!
Absolutely love the feel and quality of this leash. Really looking forward to using it in our rainy season.
Using the hands free leash is amazing, especially when it frees up my hands to use poles on hikes
We are so glad to hear you are enjoying the freedom of Hands-Free! Thank you Lorraine! Enjoy the outdoors :)
Absolutely love this leash. We have a 5 month old pup and 3 young kids so the hands free option is perfect for walks and hanging on the sidelines at ball games. Moms always need extra hands and this allows me to ensure Arlo stays close while I juggle his brothers!
LINDSEY! You are so right! That hands free option is perfect for the juggling mom! Love that Arlo is staying close and safe THANK YOU!
My three month old Maltipoo, Luna, is three pounds. We got the 3/8” 4’ convertible leash in black. It is simply a gorgeous, functional leash. I thought I’d be wearing it all the time cross body but it looks fantastic as a belt. It’s hard to find biothane convertible leashes with brass hardware. This one is fabulous! Because Luna is so tiny, Liz suggested requesting lightest clips with my order. And we did that - they are still slightly heavy for Luna but when she grows another couple of pounds they will be perfect.
I'm glad you and Luna are loving your new gear! Sounds like Liz was able to help you customize for sweet little Luna too! Thank you Lauren.
The leash is terrific and gets 5 stars for the materials and versatility it offers. However, in my opinion the brass clips (hardware) are too heavy for small (up to 15 lbs.) dogs. At least I will not ask my 11-lb. dog to cope with that weight. But lots of kudos to High Tail Hikes for an otherwise great product!
i got this for a 4lb chihuahua and was worried the brass clasps would still be too heavy but it works great and is not too heavy (though would love if they were even lighter, he’s very small!!)
Alyssa, I'm so glad to hear you and your 4lb love are enjoying your new leash! Thank you :)
So much fun to customize exactly what I needed. Other brands have limited widths & lengths. The material is perfect too. Can't wait to buy more options to match outfits :)
I agree, being able to fully customize makes it even more fun! Thank you Yachin!
I love the ability to change between a conventional and a hands-free leash while training. I own several other styles in various lengths and colors for different uses. The color choices are great, and the waterproof feature makes care so easy. No worries when it gets wet. Just put it up and let it dry. Any grass or seeds fall off. A wet paper towel cleans it off when needed.
Constance your kind words mean so much to us! We love that you are loving the ease of High Tail Hikes BioThane!
We've used this for a month now and we're huge fans of this leash! Can easily be worn cross-body or used as a longer line.
Each leash is custom-made, so you can choose what length, color, and clips suit you best.
The material is both durable and washable -- we live in the Pacific Northwest, where even an everyday walk results in muddy leashes. Compared to another brand of supposedly waterproof leashes, these leashes are very easy to clean and will be very long-lasting, i.e., the metal hardware do not leave stains on the BioThane!
Frances, we are happy to hear you love your Hands Free leash. The easily cleaning sure is a great benefit. THANK YOU!
I love this leash! I can clip it smaller for crowded areas, and then release it to the full length when we arrive at a park or open space. The hands free option is great if I’m carrying things or have to take a call. Love!
Sometimes you want a long leash, sometimes you want a short leash, sometimes you want something in between. Sometimes you want to be hands free, sometimes you want to attach your dog to something. You always want something lightweight, durable, easy on the eyes, and easy to use. This leash is all of those things. I'm thrilled to bring my search for the perfect leash to a close now. I've found my forever product.
Functional, nice and long when wearing it around the hips, lightweight and easy to manage. Great leash!
