Break Strength Explained

Break strength is a measure of the maximum force or load that a material or product can withstand before it breaks or fails.

All of our leads have been independantly tested to determine their break strength. The break strength of each lead and width is listed above. For the purpose of explaining how break strength works in reality, I will use our classic range as an example.

Our classic leads have a break strength of 400kg. This means that in a static situation, it can handle a force of up to 400kg without breaking.

However, it is essential to understand the difference beween the weight of the dog and the force it can exert. Even though a dog might weigh say, 60kg, the dynamic force it produces when running and stopping suddenly can be much higher. Factors such as the dog's speed, the length of the lead or longline, and how suddenly it stops, all contribute to this force.

Our leads are designed to handle the force exerted by a dog under typical conditions. However, if you were to allow your dog to run at full speed and reach the end of the line suddenly, the actual force on the lead could be significantly higher.

While our leads are robust, it is always a good idea not to let a dog run unchecked to the end of the line to ensure safety. We also recommend using a harness with a longline to reduce the risk of such force being applied to the delicate neck area.

HOW TO USE

Safety: We recommend using a longline with a well-fitting harness. This is to reduce risk of injury to the neck should your dog run to the end of the line and come to an abrupt stop. We recommend attaching to the back clasp to reduce risk of tangling around legs.

Handling: safe handling of a longline is important to avoid injury to your dog and yourself. If you are new to using a longline, we advise starting with a 5m and practicing handling skills.

How to hold the longline: unravel the long line and lay your hand flat, palm facing upwards, through the handle. The top of the handle should lay across your palm. You are now going to gather the line by passing it back and forth across your palm. This creates loops of line hanging down either side of your hand and you can close your palm around the central point. Do not gather the line around your hand. We do this to ensure that if your dog takes off and line is pulled suddenly, it will not tighten around your hand, which could cause injury.

Hold the gathered line in one hand and place your other hand on the part of the line extending to your dog. This is how you will control the length of the line. You can loosen your grip on the gathered section to let out the line slowly. Use your free hand to guide the line, or gather it back in as necessary.

Some people prefer a thumb grip, where the handle is looped around your thumb and your fist is closed around the handle. When the lead is pulled, your fist tightens around the bottom of the handle first, protecting your thumb from damage. Your thumb prevents the line from pulling straight out of your hands.

Trailing: the line can be dropped to the ground to trail behind your dog, allowing you to grab or step on the line from further away should you need to. Ensure your dog is comfortable being on the longline before advancing to this step.

Hazards: be aware of your environment and potential hazards that the line may become caught on. When interacting with other dogs, be mindful of the line tangling around other dogs.

Be aware that rushing to the end of the line and being stopped abruptly by reaching the end poses a risk of injury to the dog and handler. A long line may not be suitable for all dogs. Be aware that the longer the line, the larger the force will be when stopped abruptly, we recommend teaching your dog to stay within the parameters of the line when roaming and playing.

CARE GUIDE

Quick Cleaning:

After an adventure, rinse your lead and hardware with fresh water to remove dirt, mud, or saltwater.

For stubborn grime, use mild soap or pet-safe detergent with a soft cloth or sponge.

Carabiner Care:

Unlike traditional spring-loaded clips, our carabiners are designed with no exposed springs, making them more resistant to jamming from sand or grit.

Pro Tip - If you do notice grit in the barrel mechanism, a quick shake or rinse will usually dislodge it.

Important: Avoid forcing the carabiner open if grit is present in the barrel. Forcing it can permanently affect the auto-lock function. Gently clean and shake it out first.

Drying:

Pat dry with a clean towel or leave to air dry.

Storage:

Store your lead in a dry place to keep it looking and performing its best.

Longevity Tips:

Regularly check the hardware, webbing and stitching to ensure everything is intact and performing as it should.

GUARANTEE

2 Year Guarantee (so long as it's not used as a chew toy!)
