The Knot-a-Leash™ is a classic climbing-inspired leash that takes design and durability cues from the crag to create a strong connection with your canine. With supple, reflective kernmantle rope, a comfortable tubular webbing handle, and an auto-locking carabiner, it's the leash that'll go the distance from the epic to the everyday.

The tri-action, auto-locking carabiner not only creates a secure connection, but it also swivels to create a twist- and tangle-free experience. Lift, twist, and open to engage the locking mechanism on the carabiner.

The strong rope core in the Knot-a-Leash™️ is made from repurposed remaining yarns, which helps reduce impacts from disposal, recycling, and material production.

Complete the kit with the matching Knot-a-Collar™.

Rope Length: 5 ft (1.5 m) (Small and Large)

    Great leash!

    What I love about this leash: It’s strong but lightweight so it folds up nicely into little pockets, the carabiner lock is reliable, the handle is very comfortable, it looks good (I bought the red). I like this more than other leashes that I’ve tried.

    Best leash ever!

    This is the second Knot a Leash I’ve purchased for my Springer Spaniel, and only because she chewed on it as a puppy and 5 years later the rope was finally unraveling on the outer layer. The handle is very comfortable for a strong dog that can pull, and the rope doesn’t hurt my hand if I need to grab it to pull her in close. The carabiner is easy to use, secure and has held up in our wet, PNW climate. The loop for dog poop bags works great to hang a bag empty or full. I looked at other leashes when looking to replace this one but decided this was still the best option for Annie. I also got her a new matching collar that works great!

    Very Secure Leash

    I was looking for a more secure leash and this one fits the bill perfectly. The locking fastener in particular is a great feature. I don’t have to worry about coming unattached which has happened before. Anyone that owns a Shiba would benefit from a secure leash like this. So, with your secure harness with 3 attachment points and this lockable leash, I finally have this escape artist dog under control which is priceless! Maybe you should offer a package deal on these 2 items!

    Great leash

    I bought my first leashes like this when I lived in Bend Oregon 2000 or 2001 and was happy to see this one was somewhat as good quality as my first ones
