Lucky you! What a bargain. Our leashes are also from Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus (a little less expensive). The leashes might cost more than your class  but they'll definitely be worth the investment in the long run. They last a LONG time and won't slip like the nylon leashes. |
| I got mine at Menards- a big box home improvement store. Try also feed and livestock/farm supply stores. They will often have dog stuff cheaper then the bigger pet stores. Even a Kmart or Walmart might have something for less then Petco/petsmart.
By the way, I LOVE my leather leash... it gives you way, way better control then the nylon ones do. I'll never have anything else! |
| I also love my leather leashes. They are really great. |
| If a big dog show is ever in your area, look there. I got mine there really cheap. We're also lucky enough to have a local discount pet supply store where the prices are really reasonable. I got 4 foot leather leash there for $5.99. |
some of my leather leashes are 36 years old........except for the ones eaten as a dog chew in the car  |
| Definitely get the leather - even though they cost more. They are worth evey penny! Nylon leads are pretty, but are murder on your hands. I have leather leashes that I have had for 20 yrs, and they are the best ones. We have 2 that are "old" and some newer leather ones. It almost causes a fight at our house to get the old ones 1st!
We have the ones with no stitching or rivets. They are slit and twisted like a braid. They are the best and last forever - unless it gets chewed. Don't get over 1/2 inch wide either. Anything over 1/2 inch is too hard to deal with, just too much leash for your hand to hold. If you absolutely can't swing the leather, I would recommend cotton (flat woven) as a second choice. They are fairly inexpensive. In our local store, they are found in the hunting supply area, not with the other leashes. I recommend running the lead (the cotton ones) through the washer before using - they are kind of stiff when new. For my students, I recommend leads in this order: leather, cotton, nylon and never chain. We use 6 ft, not 4 ft length leads too. Have fun with your dogs in school! |
