Two-handle control, two-tone colour, classic 1.2m length. The everyday lead with options.

If you like the standard 1.2m walking length but want more from it — more control options, more visual character — this is the upgrade. Two layers of BioThane® bonded together for your custom colour combination, plus a second handle stitched in near the clip for instant close-control when life gets unpredictable.

Use the standard handle for normal walks. Slide your hand down to the traffic handle when a passing dog appears, a cyclist whips past, or you're crossing a busy road. Two leads in one — no extra gear, no fumbling.

Hand-made in Te Awamutu by Whinny and Co. Pick any two of 31 BioThane® colours and your choice of 4 hardware finishes.

FAQs

Q: Why choose 1.2m over the 1.5m version?

If you prefer your dog walking right at your side, if you walk in tight urban spaces a lot, or if you're a shorter handler — 1.2m feels more natural in the hand. The 1.5m is a touch more relaxed; the 1.2m is a touch more control-focused.

Q: Is the traffic handle worth the extra cost?

If you ever wish you could pull your dog in faster, yes. Reactive dog owners, multi-dog handlers, and owners of larger or more excitable breeds usually say they wouldn't go back to a single-handle lead once they've used a traffic-handle one.

Q: How do I pick colours that work?

Easy formula: one accent colour, one anchor colour. Bright pop (Magenta, Caribbean Green, Passion Pink) plus a neutral (Powder Tan, Black, Coyote Brown, Sage). Or two tonal shades from the same family for sophistication.
