Leather Traffic Lead 36 cm | Handmade Short Dog Leash in Italian Nappa Leather

Product description

Leather Traffic Lead 36 cm | Handmade Short Dog Leash

Need to keep your dog close in certain situations? The Dog's Companion leather traffic lead is a short dog leash measuring 36 cm, handmade from soft, supple Italian nappa leather. Its rounded design provides a comfortable grip, while the short length helps you keep your dog close beside you when needed.

This short leather leash is carefully round-stitched, with the seam positioned away from the side of the handle. This helps prevent an uncomfortable edge from pressing against your hand, even when holding the leash firmly.

When should you use a leather traffic lead?

A traffic lead is an extra-short dog leash designed to keep your dog close by your side. It is particularly useful when you need more direct control over your dog's movement than a regular-length leash provides.

For example, a short dog leash can be practical when:

• Visiting the vet.
• Walking through busy or crowded areas.
• Passing other dogs.
• Guiding your dog through entrances or narrow spaces.
• Keeping your dog close for a short period.

Because of its short length, a traffic lead provides very little freedom of movement and is best suited to short periods of close handling. For relaxed everyday walks where your dog needs more room to explore, a longer dog leash is a better choice.

Why choose Italian nappa leather?

Italian nappa leather is known for its soft, supple texture and refined appearance.

For this traffic lead, carefully selected leather is shaped, stitched and finished by hand. The material feels comfortable to hold while providing a substantial leather construction.

The combination of supple leather and a rounded design makes this short dog leash particularly pleasant to grip when guiding your dog close beside you.

A comfortable round-stitched handle

The handle is an important feature of any short dog leash, especially when your dog is walking close to you.

Our leather traffic lead is round-stitched, with the seam positioned away from the side of the handle. This avoids a prominent stitched edge pressing directly against your hand.

The smooth, rounded shape provides a comfortable and secure-feeling grip during short periods of close handling.

How to care for your leather traffic lead

The Italian nappa leather has already been treated with oil during production to help maintain its softness and suppleness.

To maintain its softness and appearance, we recommend regular care with a suitable leather conditioning cream or leather oil.

Gently remove surface dirt using a soft, slightly damp cloth. If the leather becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally at room temperature.

Avoid placing the leash on a radiator or near other direct heat sources, as excessive heat can dry out the leather.

With appropriate care, your leather traffic lead can remain soft, supple and attractive for years to come.
