Dog training leash

[wlg1908]

The other I was making leashes an though I would like to make a long one, so I made a 15' leash with a brass snap on the end . I posted it on my facebook page and a dog trainer is interested in it but this is my first time making that long of a leash and have no Idea what I should price it at. Here are a  few pic's, tell me what you would charge.  The leash is made from 9/11 oz latigo, 15' long and one inch width.

Honestly, until I replaced the rivets with either rivet and burr style rivets, stitched the snap and handle ends, or did a bleed knot on both ends, I personally wouldn't sell it. You get a 100 pound dog pulling on that with some good hard jolts, and the dog is running free.

I sell 6' leads using bleed knots for 60.00

I am just curios what type of dog training would need a 15 foot long leather leash.

I don't know. She said she likes to do some of her training with a long lead.

Do you have any photo's of your leads ?

Tracking requires a long lead.

This is one I did for a lady that runs a rescue shelter. It's 5' with 2 2' leads to walk 2 dogs at once.

Hi,

How do you cut a 15' leather strap for that leash?  I have 2 hunting dog that I would like to put on a longer leash.

I have only have cut belt blanks.

He didn't, he stitched 2 pieces together. In theory though, you could take a big enough piece and cut a circle in the middle then cut the strap out in a circle, same idea as a lace cutter. Then soak it and stretch it straight.

Halitech,  Thanks for the responds.  I am going to try making one tonight. 

Thanks, Howard
