got our 2 new ellas leads today. shipping was quick. i think it shipped on friday of last week. both leashes are 5'. we have been using 6' nylon leads. i like the shorter length. it seemed to work better for our dogs than the 6'.

the leash feel nice in my hand. the dogs were in complete control. i didnt feel any stretching like i sometimes feel with the nylon when the dogs start pulling. plus they are really nice looking.

thanks rebecca! [

I second nyiceprincess's request -- I have a 30 lb dog that can escapse harnesses unless they are almost completely cinched up. So, I use a martingale. But, I like to have 'emergency' leads around - and while the regular slip lead has worked, I honesly never felt secure using it. This other one looks more secure. I seem to get the immpression that the slip lead will loosen up if I'm not paying attention and she will get out -- so I have to keep it really pulled so it doesn't loosen.

I expect to order some leads this summer as I am in need of some extra's!!

The big dog walker, i love this thing! I keep it in my car for when i have to do a "pick up" and for when i need to get a leash on fast.Maybe its something you can try to make? I wouls love one in a med and a smaller size.Mine is only good for big dogs.

I have tried the mendota and own one. It's GREAT, except...it doesn't fit Ella's neck correctly and she CAN and probably WOULD slip out of it in that certain trigger situation.
The slip lead we made for Ella is easy to put on her and she cannot slip out of it.
I have sample hardware coming in soon, so then we'll be able to see what we would like to keep in stock.
I for sure will PM all those interested and let you know when it comes in.[

With Ella's control/ slip lead, if she's not trying to back out of it and she's relaxed, her lead around her neck will relax. But not so much that she could slip out of it. If she were to try to back out of it, she couldn't. It's won't relax enough for her to be able to get it passed her ears.[

I'm trying some different colors on my site.
How's the green look?

Crap, by the time some of you check it out, it might not even be green anymore!
ha!

I'm taking a break from messing with it for now, so I think the green is staying for a while unless you all think it looks hideous!
Let me know!

Thanks!

I am taking the dogs hiking tomorrow and will probably order one from you tomorrow night after I see what size will be best.

You should have a section where you post pics of dogs using your product. That will help sell them because if they see not all big dogs using them etc. Also, I think some of my hiking friends may want to order after they see mine

Have you thought about making/designing a good coupler? I would love to get a double dog coupler, but I don't particularly care for the few I have found. I never found any with the individual lengths that I wanted. I tried to make my own, but couldn't find a good heavy duty swivel to help with the tangling problem.

Just a thought. If you offer one, I know I'll be getting one (after I get some money! LOL showing is sapping my collar/lead funds!)

Website looks great!

Yes, we will soon be offering coupler leads.
We're looking into heavy duty eye/eye swivels.

When my samples of hardware come in, I'll post pictures either here or on my website and you all can let me know what you like.
