Amazing quality

Amazing quality, beautiful colors, and so easy to clean! We have a 6 month old puppy who his so excited to get on the trails with a little more freedom with the 30’ lead. I love that the line doesn’t tangle and knot like other long lines

Thank you so much, Jaye! 💛 We’re thrilled you’re loving the quality, colors, and easy cleanup of your new 30 ft lead! Giving a 6-month-old pup a little more freedom to sniff and explore the trails while still staying safely connected is exactly what long lines are made for. 🐾🌲
And we’re especially glad you’re enjoying how easily the line handles without all the tangles and knots! Thank you for choosing High Tail Hikes—we hope you and your pup have many happy, sniff-filled trail adventures ahead!

Just Right!

This is my first biothane leash and I’m super happy with it. Twelve feet is a perfect length for neighborhood walks and the leash is comfortable to hold (not slippery or stiff). The carabiner is a nice size and the whole leash feels very well made.

Thank you so much, Mel! 💛 We’re honored to be your first BioThane leash, and we’re so happy it’s been such a great fit! Twelve feet is a wonderful length for giving your pup some extra sniffing and exploring room on neighborhood walks while still keeping them close.

We’re especially glad you’re enjoying the comfortable feel, carabiner size, and overall quality. Thank you for choosing High Tail Hikes—we hope this is the first of many happy adventures with your new leash! 🐾

Freedom with Backup

We ordered a custom 15-foot biothane long line from High Tail Hikes for our puppy, and it’s quickly become one of our most-used pieces of gear.

We use it for recall practice, letting her drag it during play for that “freedom with backup” feeling, and on hikes where we want to give her room to explore without fully unclipping. It’s been a perfect middle ground between a standard leash and true off-leash time.

The biothane has been excellent. It doesn’t absorb water, mud wipes right off, and it hasn’t picked up that gross wet-dog-leash smell. It feels durable but not stiff, and it doesn’t burn your hands the way some long lines can when a young dog decides to test her speed. The hardware feels solid and secure.

What I appreciate most is that it feels thoughtfully made. It’s simple, clean, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do — no gimmicks, just a well-built tool that holds up to real use.

Would absolutely order from High Tail Hikes again.

Thank you so much, Brendan, for such a detailed and thoughtful review — it truly means the world to us. We love how you described it as “freedom with backup,” because that’s exactly what we hope our long lines provide. It’s wonderful to hear that it’s been such a reliable tool for recall practice, play, and hiking with your puppy. (And that teal looks so good on her!)

We’re especially grateful for your kind words about the feel, durability, and simplicity of our gear. We put a lot of care into making pieces that are comfortable, dependable, and built for real-life use, so knowing that comes through is incredibly rewarding. Thank you for trusting us with your pup’s adventures — we can’t wait to make more gear for you in the future!

Fabulous

This is our first Bio Thane and boy do we like it!!! Took our very speedy and "hi energy" Pointer for a sniffarie and he had so much fun with his 30' long line. And, our wrists and hands came back without one friction burn!!! Love the colors!! Easy to roll up and carry, especially with the extra strap for the leash to be packed up - great idea!! So glad we jumped into the water to try Bio Thane. You MAY have a convert from the great old-fashioned horse leather!!!

That is all great to hear! So glad you are enjoying your new HTH BioThane gear! We would be happy to have converted you :) Looks like some enjoyed the sniffarie. Thank you Kathleen!

So amazing we bought two!

We initially bought this leash to replace an old one from a different brand that was ripping, but we loved it so much we bought one for our second dog as well! I love the colors, the weight, and the texture. And now they match!

Thank you! We appreciate your love and support, we wish you many happy (and matching!) adventures together :)

Quality product

Great leash that I was able to customize. Love the closer extra handle for a closer heel walk. Super lightweight! Love the leash

YAY! So glad to hear you are loving your new customized HTH gear! Thank you Margaret!

So happy with these leashes!!

These leashes are so cute durable! I have two big dogs and one of them loves to roll around in the grass. I got a 12 ft leash and the material is so moveable and comfortable when he wants to be silly rolling in the grass. I love these leases!

Wow, Thank you so much Jennifer! So glad you (and your 4-legged loves) are enjoying your new long line!

My go to for leashes

I cannot say enough about these leashes. This is my second leash purchase and surely will not be my last. I love the durability, grip and how easy they are to clean. The twist lock carabiner reassures me it won’t become unclasped. The D ring is small but is very unlikely to get stuck on anything while my dog uses it as a drag line. I love using this and my 30ft long lines for training clients and adventures with my own pup.

We love hearing how and how much you are loving your new long line! TYSM Leanne!

Too thick as trailing line

I got this 15’ long loop-free leash as a trailing line - it is clipped to the back of her harness as she roams the woods and fields. It is much more comfortable in my hand than other rope style trailing lines. But! I wish I had gotten the lightweight version.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the feedback, and sharing your beautiful girl. She seems to be enjoying the freedom of her new long line!

Amazing Product & Customer Service

Shortly after placing my order, I realized I had forgotten to add a traffic handle to one of the leashes. Within minutes of emailing High Tail Hikes, I had a response and a traffic handle was added to my invoice! I was thrilled that with the response time and the flexibility of adjusting my order. The leashes themselves are fabulous and my go to for all scenarios! The only biothane leashes I recommend. Wonderful production, color selection, & customization options!

Thank you so much Jenn! Many happy trails to you!

New favorite leash!

I love everything about this leash --- waterproof, comfortable grip, crossbody option, easy to tether if needed, lightweight. I got the 50' which we use on paved/wide trails for an off-leash experience with ability to practice our recall. I'm definitely going to be ordering in other lengths and colors!

We love hearing how much you love your HTH Gear! Thank you Jade! Wishing you mean happy trails!

Obsessed with our long line!

I ordered a 50ft long line, and it’s incredible! I have a 90lb Rottweiler and decided to go with the 1/2 width which is normally recommended for smaller dogs. I wanted something that would be light and comfortable for my dog if the line got in between his legs. And let me tell you, it’s everything I wanted and more! My boy runs and plays freely as if the line wasn’t there! The biothane is strong and comfortable great for training or play. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! It’s life changing for my boy.

We love hearing how happy you (and your boy) are with your new long line! Thank you Jei!

Just the best!

HTH addict here! Back to review my 7th and 8th leashes from this wonderful company! 15’ is the perfect length for a sniff through the local park—enough room for some acrobatics and park trash clean up 🤣, and still short enough for super easy management. Went with two-tone leashes this time and am loving the color combos! Posting before and after muddy park photos — can guarantee they looked just like the pristine before photos after a quick rinse when we got home. Am thinking I’ll have to grab some 30 footers soon! Thanks, HTH for your contributions to my pups’s happy and healthy lives!

Absolutely LOVE seeing these pictures and your love for HTH gear! Your color combos are perfect too! Thank you Molly!

Life Changing

First off the quality is amazing. I love not having to hold onto a soggy leash after my dog had been hiking or playing ball. Second it has made my life and my dogs life so much better. The freedom we both have during hikes/adventures or just walks around the neighborhood have made an already enjoyable activity that much better.

We love hearing how much you're enjoying your new High Tail Hikes gear! Thank you Rachel!

Great product!

We love our long line! My puppy is one year old and is not yet reliable with her recall, so our 30' long line gives her the freedom to run ahead and sniff all of the things while we are out in wider spaces for hikes. I previously had a cotton long line, but when it was wet outside, the cotton line was also muddy and wet. This biothane line is easy to control even while wet and even easier to clean.

So glad you are loving your new long line! The easy to clean is my favorite feature too! Thank you Michelle! Happy tails to you!

Buy it!!

I was referred to High Tail Hikes from a good friend, who is also my go-to dog expert. This long line has made walks so much more fun for my dog! She loves the freedom it offers so she can run and sniff ahead of me, and I love that I still have control in our suburban neighborhood. If you’re on the fence about purchasing - do it! You won’t regret it, and your pup will love it!

Katy! Thank you so much! We enjoy hearing how much you love your new HTH Long Line! Happy Trails & Tails to you both :)

Fantastic leashes; fantastic company!

I have six of these leashes — two each of the 5’, 10’, and 7’ convertible/hands-free. They are all indispensable to my daily routines with my pups and the best leashes I have ever owned: Beautifully made, fun and vivid colors, lightweight, easy to clean, they attach securely and do not tangle because of the auto locking carabiner and swivel, and they last nearly forever with a little care. I will definitely be picking up a few longer lines in the near future. On the service side of things, orders are always executed flawlessly and communication is swift, personal, and friendly. I am always stoked to deal with this business and happy to give them all my money lol.

WOW! Thank you so much Molly! Your words mean the world to us. Thank you for sharing the pics too, we love seeing HTH in the wild!
