Hands-free hold

Waist to shoulder

Soft nylon rope

Zinc alloy clasp

colourchocolate

Some walks are companionable ambles. Others are a shared run at first light, breath and footfall settling into the same rhythm. Worn at the waist, across the shoulder or looped at the wrist, the lead leaves your hands free to move as you naturally would - and your dog to find an easy pace beside you.

Braided nylon gives a little as you go, softening the small tugs of an eager start, while a coated zinc-alloy clasp holds steady and a discreet ring keeps a bag or key close at hand.

More Details

The loop adjusts to sit at the waist, wrist or shoulder, so your hands stay free to move with your dog. It can double as a slip collar; if used this way, please supervise closely, as the loop tightens under tension and is not intended for unattended wear or tie-out.

Materials

Braided nylon rope, soft and lightly elastic underhand, finished with tan accents and close stitching at each join. Hardware is coated zinc alloy - a trigger clasp at one end, a small ring for personal items at the other.

Shipping

Processed within 1–2 business days, then delivered in 7–8 business days. Free shipping on orders over $70 AUD; orders under $70 ship for a flat $10.

The morning run, shared

Hands free to move, connected all the same.

There's a particular quiet in moving together before the day begins - your stride, their stride, the tether resting at your waist so both of you can simply go. It gives without giving way, holds without pulling, and asks nothing of your hands. What's left is the run itself, and the small, steady comfort of your dog finding their pace beside you.
