Best lightweight leash!

I have had multiple brands of leashes for my dogs and this by far is the best. It is super lightweight and I love that you can customize not only colors but the traffic handle, and length as well.

Thank you so much, Margaret! We’re so happy to hear you’re loving your lightweight leash — and that the customization options are a hit! Wishing you and your pups many happy walks ahead!

Great

I love this line however I should have ordered 1/2 inch vs 3/8 I just wasn’t thinking right. Anyway I use it when I’m hiking. I’ll be ordering another one just a little shorter and wider

Thank you so much, Shanna! We loved seeing your hike video — your pup looks so happy out on the trail. We’re glad the line is working well for you, and no worries on sizing — it happens! We’ll be here whenever you’re ready for that shorter, wider version. Wishing you and your pup many more beautiful hikes ahead!

Best leash for my girl!!!!!

Recently adopted my sweet girl who was trained on a retractable and she's adjusted beautifully to the new leash! It's better for me too as I have more control and she keeps her sniffing freedom! I also ordered it in green apple as the primary color and it's easy for both of us to see, even at night! It's easy to clean and soft on my hands. The clip is just the right size for my little pup (only 8lbs!) and the 2ft traffic handle is always within easy reach ♥️

Oh my goodness, such sweetness she is! Thank you Sarah, we are so glad you are both loving your HTH gear (and freedom!)

Loved the leash, puppy bit it in half.

The leash looks great. The locking caribener seems very secure. My husband doesn't like the way it feels in his hand (we have the thinner leash). Unfortunately after using this leash for about a week, my 6 month old puppy was lying at my husband's feet and bit the leash in half. Her adult teeth have been coming in and she's been chewing more than usual. Obviously not high tail's fault but it's hard to leave 5 stars for something that broke so quick. I would not recommend this for dogs that grab the leash or chew.

The BEST leashes!

We have a variety of leashes and long lines from HTH. They are amazing! The customization options and colors are perfect for our needs, and we get so many compliments! The carabiners on the sports leashes are lightweight and easy to use. 10/10 long line!!

Thank you Erin!!! We love the lightweight carabiners too, so easy and safe!

Great quality long line!

I have had this long line for just over a month and use it nearly every day. It's comfortable, easy to clean, and looks great! I'm sure I will order another but I will probably get the regular snap next time, the carabiner is not the easiest to use. That being said if it were the only option I would still reorder! Biothane is worth the investment!

So glad you are enjoying your long line! The BioThane is so easy to care of! Thank you Trina!

Love high tail hikes!

100% recommend them! After ordering a 30 ft leash, we knew we needed more. We currently have the a 10ft, 15ft, and 30ft because these are fantastic. So durable, easy to handle + clean, customizable, and pretty!

Lucia, we love hearing how much you love our long lines! Thank you!

Favorite leashes

Our trainer recommended High Tails Hike leashes many months ago, and we first got an 8ft convertible for our hikes. We’ve since gotten different leashes for all our different activities (customization is wonderful!). Love that they are waterproof and easy to clean.

Exactly what we needed!

After adopting our Korean pup in December, we wanted to safely integrate her into our routine of daily hikes, while allowing her to have more freedom. This leash/line is perfect for that. We have graduated to the level where she can have the line drag behind her without getting caught on things & I can easily grab it without scaring her (she gets spooked easily), if needed. It’s also so easy to clean. Highly recommend!

Great quality

I’ve tried a lot of different leashes, and this brand wins by far! And being able to customize your color is fun!

Thank you so much, Wendy! 💛 We’re thrilled to hear our leashes are your favorite! Quality gear and fun color combinations are what we’re all about. 😍 Thank you for choosing High Tail Hikes, and we hope you and your pup enjoy many colorful adventures ahead! 🐾

Beautiful and super functional long line, i cant wait to go on more hikes with my SD using it.

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! We’re so glad you’re loving your long line — “beautiful and functional” is exactly what we aim for. 💛 It means a lot to know it’ll be part of your hikes with your SD, and we hope you have many safe and happy adventures together. 🐾✨

Game Changer

Game changer may seem a bit cliche but is completely warranted. Walking three pups safely and comfortably while providing greater agency has become so much more possible with these long lines. I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you so much, Jamie! We love hearing that the long lines have been a game changer for walking your three pups — that’s no small task! Being able to walk multiple dogs safely while still giving them more freedom and choice is exactly what long lines are all about. We’re so glad they’ve made your walks more comfortable and enjoyable. Wishing you and your trio many happy adventures together!

custom small leash

It's very comfortable to use and my dog loves it. I was able to choose my own colors. I would buy their leashes again

Thank you so much, Mary! We’re so glad to hear the leash is comfortable to use and that your pup loves it too. Choosing your own colors makes it extra special, and we’re thrilled it was a great fit for you. We truly appreciate your support and would love to make more gear for you anytime!

Great leash!

We have a very reactive rescue. This leash is great because I can wear it cross body or clip it to my belt, ensuring I never drop the leash accidentally during a high stress moment. The only request I have from high tail is to add another secure clip option. The locking carabiner is tricky to quickly get on and off, and as our dog does not like to be handled, this poses a bite risk for me should the clip catch, which it often does when trying to smoothly undo it. The brass hooks pose a similar problem, as they only open on one side. I would recommend adding in an O-shaped clasp that opens like a clamshell with a lever. We have annother leash that I often reach for due to this added ease. Overall, great leash!!

Thank you so much for your feedback Sykla, we will take this into consideration!

Love the clasp

I got the 15 ft sport leash, myself and my dog absolutely love it. The leash itself is super lightweight and I can tell my dog doesn’t notice it flopping around as much when she’s running around. The clasp is my favorite part because it locks into place on her harness and I can relax knowing it isn’t going to accidentally unclip when she pulls. The leash is also so easy to clean, I can finally throw away her old ratty rope leash.

Awesome! Thank you April! We enjoy hearing how much you are both loving your new gear!

Gorgeous! Perfect for our new puppy!

Our rescue is puppy is brand new to leashes and everything else. She appreciates the extra room to roam and walk at her own pace. This leash is so light weight but still strong and secure. We love it.

We love hearing that you and your new puppy are enjoying your new leash! Thank you Lindsay :)

Nice quality long leash

Well made, stylish and appears very sturdy, 8 foot sport leash in size small. Great for everyday walks or hikes. I got the extra loop to grab close to the collar for when I need more control. Went back for an ID collar and a safety strap! Customer service was excellent.

THANK YOU Elizabeth! We appreciate your kind words more than you know! Happy & Safe adventures to you!

Mary Mersereau (Chichester, US)
Great quality

It is surprisingly light and the grippy texture makes it very easy to handle despite the length. Our 12lb pup is not weighed down by it at all. Seems like it will hold up well. Also love how easy it is to clean compared to a regular cloth leash. Will definitely purchase another when it's time to replace our short leash as well.

Thank you Mary! So glad you are enjoying your new leash (and your little pup too!)

Love the material and options

Overall, super pleased with the leash - what makes your product unique are the options that you offer. Quality product, quick delivery, overall quite pleased. The only attribute I don't like is the large size of the carabiner compared to the lightness of the leash. The leash is only 3/8" wide but the carabiner is 3.5 inches long - HUGE! Love the idea of a carabiner instead of a clip, but in hindsight I would have preferred a smaller lightweight clip. Would love to revisit this if you ever made this leash with a much smaller carabiner.

Thank you Carla! We appreciate your awesome review AND your feedback! We will look into this :)
