Gripper Training Leads

Description

Why Choose a Gripper Training Lead?

When handling your dog outdoors, especially in rain or on muddy ground, you need a dog lead that stays firm in your hand, even when wearing gloves. The Dogmatic Gripper Training Lead is made from reinforced webbing with a rubber insert, offering secure handling and a steady grip.

Unlike traditional webbing or leather-only leads, our rubber grip design prevents slippage and ensures a confident walk, no matter the weather. Ideal for training, tracking, or walking in unpredictable UK conditions. This lead offers excellent flexibility, whether you’re teaching your dog a new command, working with a behaviourist, or simply giving your dog a little more freedom on walks.

Multi-Length Functionality for Everyday and Training Use

This gripper lead isn’t just one size fits all. With adjustable settings, it can be shortened or extended to suit your dog’s training stage or walking environment.

• Use it short for street walks or heel work
• Extend it for recall training, tracking, or letting your dog stretch out
• Use the O-ring to tether your dog safely to a bench or post
• Clip to a D-ring to walk two dogs together using one lead
• Designed to work with your dog’s collar or headcollar

You can choose between 42.5″, 53″ or 72″ lengths, giving you full control over how much freedom your dog has in different environments.

Crafted for Durability and Long-Term Use

This isn’t just another dog lead, it’s built to withstand daily wear, even with large, strong dogs. Every gripper training lead is made with:

• Premium rein webbing
• Anti-slip rubber grip thread for all-weather use
• Strong, solid brass fittings
• Reinforced leather ends for extra durability
• Stitched for strength and long-term performance

Available in Black/Brass or Brown/Brass, these classic colour combinations suit all breeds and styles.

Comfortable Even in Wet Conditions

One of the most common issues with standard leads is losing grip when your hands are cold, wet or greasy from holding treats! Our rubberised gripper lead stays firm in the palm, with or without gloves. Whether you’re handling a reactive rescue, a large working breed, or a puppy still learning boundaries, this lead keeps you secure and comfortable.

This makes it an ideal tool for:

• In-training dogs
• Dogs prone to pulling or lunging
• Owners who walk in wet conditions
• Handlers who need adjustable, secure control

Caring for Your Gripper Training Lead

Looking after your Dogmatic lead is easy. The rubber webbing is fully wipeable with a damp cloth, making it ideal for muddy trails or rainy days.

To protect the leather, treat regularly with saddle soap and a glycerine-based leather conditioner to keep the material soft, strong and resistant to cracking. With care, the leather will become more supple over time, just like a quality pair of boots.

Note: Clean the leather with the same attention you would give to fine shoes to ensure it remains in perfect condition.
