Our running / hands free lead.

This lead is fabulous. I’ve been working on a running lead for about 10 years, but could never quite get it right. Then I discovered Biothane & it was the perfect material to make the perfect lead that was in my head. Biothane is extremely hard wearing, waterproof & cleans up brilliantly. I’ve even put it in the washing machine (though you're not really meant to do that). This lead is completely adaptable. It ticks so many boxes.

You don't even need to be a runner to love it.

It has 4 different length options:
1: Handle Clip for an extra long lead.
2: Cross Body Clip to wear the lead accross your body or over your shoulder like a bag.
3: Adjustable Slider that moves up & down the lead to fit snugly aroung your waist or hips. This is the bit that makes it great for running with your dog.
4: Fully Double-Backed to create a short lead.

The lead has a trigger hook at each end which also makes it perfect for dogs who pull and need to wear a front attaching harness.
Available in 3 lengths & 2 widths, depending on the size of human to dog ratio.

Find the best size.

The Hands Free Running Lead will work best if you match the right size to you and your dog.

A medium height person with a medium dog will need a medium lead.

A very tall person will need a long lead, even if they have a medium dog.

A shorter person may need a short lead if they have a medium size dog. Or a long lead if they have a little dog.

It's worth doing the dog to human ratio maths to get the perfect fit.

What is Biothane?

Biothane is a vegan equivalent to leather. We use the original American Biothane, which is PVC coated polyester webbing. It is famously strong & very well tested. We held off making a Biothane collection for a long time because we were reluctant to use a man made material, but we have done a lot of research and spoken to environmental scientists about the impact of Biothane. The conclusions have been that Biothane has the same environmental impact to manufacture as leather. However leather biodegrades and breaks down, Biothane does not. The fact that Biothane is resistant to so many things that will break leather down meand that it is an environmentlaly sound material to use as it is so long lasting. It is NOT a single use plastic. Biothane is extremely hard wearing, weatherproof, waterproof, frostproof and does not absorb odours. Wipe it clean & it looks brand new in seconds. I’ve even put it in the washing machine, though that is not recommended. A Biothane lead should last as long as a leather lead.

We have tried and tested this lead for months & it still looks brand new. Trust us, we have been trying to destroy it and so far not even a scratch. This is why professional dog walkers love these leads so much.

A rainbow of colours to choose from.

Available in red, orange, yellow, teal, blue, purple, black & pink, you really can choose the perfect colour for you and your dog.

Wipe Clean & Odour Free

No more nasty smelly, dirty collars. Biothane is so easy to clean - you just wipe it clean with a damp cloth. I've even put it in the washing machine. Will not absorb odours, get soggy or disgusting.

Waterproof, frostproof... good in all weathers

Biothane is a pretty amazing material - waterproof, frostproof, weatherproof, resistant to odours, wipe clean, stong, durable and tough. It is not chew proof, but not many things really are. It's a material that is truly made with dogs in mind.

Our Brighton Shop

In December 2021 we opened the doors of our very first shop in the heart of Beautiful Brighton. It has been an amazing adventure, moving to such a legendary city on the sea, meeting our customers and becoming a part of the local community. We have a little workshop and personalisation station in our shop to make customers orders while they wait, while our main Creature Clothes Workshop remains on the East Coast of England, in an old WW2 Aircraft Hangar on the East Coast of Suffolk. Our products truly are designed and hand made in the UK by us.
