Taking the Lead

When purchasing a leash for a puppy or for a full grown dog, you will want to make a few considerations before you base a choice on cosmetic appeal.  First of all, you will want a dog lead which will support the size of the dog you own.  Though it’s unlikely a thinner leash made out of nylon or leather would break, it is possible.  You will also want to consider that a puppy will chew a leash, and some larger dogs will too, so a chain or leather lead may hold up better than one made of nylon, at least until you break them of the habit of chewing. 

You will also want a quality lead with stainless steal metal that is well sewn.  Poor quality leads will rust, and can also fall apart if not sewn together properly.
