Leash for service dog

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty comfortable with my idea for the leash, but I'd like to incorporate a dispenser for litter bags. Any ideas of how to construct it and attach it to the leash would be greatly appreciated

Does the leash attach to a body harness or choke collar?

1. If it attaches to a body harness I would make a small bag, about 6" x 6", out of soft belly leather or upholstery type leather. Attach it to the body harness with Chicago screws.

2. If it has to go on the leash I would sew up a tube shaped bag, again using upholstery leather or soft belly leather. A tube about 8" long x 3" diameter, with end opening and flap. Attach along its length using Chicago screws

1. 6 x 6 bag along the shape of this one from Tandy

Construction can be as simple or as detailed as you are content to do

I use a choke chain. The bags I'm looking at using come in a roll maybe 2in diameter and 3 or 4 inches long.

I've had a thunk on this. I'd make a tube shaped bag using belly leather. About 5 inches long. A bag like a bicycle handle-bar bag [see below]. Use a snap at each end of a flap that is the main body. Bring the first bag out under the flap, like a dispenser. The flap can be unsnapped for the bag to be refilled. Attach to the leash using Chicago screws. Place it either near the hand grip, or just above the collar end

This sort of design, but using a snap at each end of the flap

I started putting a prototype together yesterday, then got a couple of belt orders. I might be able to cobble it together this afternoon, I'll take pictures and post them.
