Why we love the Leader
Endless possibility begins here
Start your dog-walking day by putting on the Leader, our powerhouse wearable lead with infinite potential. Use it as a solo leash for pick ups and drop offs, build upon it to walk dogs in a single group or multiple ones, and utilize the hands-free opportunities to engage with dogs, pick up their waste, take photos of their adventures and communicate with their pawrents. With clips at either end, you can also use this as a long line to secure your group to an object or let them access areas that you don't want to — like allowing them to wade into water while you stay dry and attached to them. If you leave the house without your Leader, you’ll have phantom limb syndrome all day.
Tend to the physical stress of walking all those pounds of dog by wearing your Leader in different ways. Change it from a waist belt to a cross-body sash to give your lower back a break. Slide it off your chest and hold it by hand to ease your shoulders. By regularly changing your “lead point” you allow your body to rest, and allowing your body to rest reduces the risk of chronic pain. Take care out there.

Safety
Just because you can be hands free doesn't mean you always need to be or should be.
Please do not use the hands-free function of this product when you are uncertain of your ability to manage the force of the dogs attached or on treacherous surfaces such as ice or gravel.
Always be aware of your surroundings and use handles when approaching triggers that may increase your dog's force.
Regularly change the "lead point" on your body to avoid chronic pain. By switching up how you're managing dogs (around the waist, across your chest or by hand) you let your body heal from tension.
While we've made the safest choices possible for this product, animals are unpredictable by nature. Furthermore, choices made in regards to how animals are handled, the terrain in which you walk dogs and how the quality of the gear is maintained in the long term is not within TinyHorse's control. By purchasing this product, the customer hereby releases TinyHorse from any liability or responsibility that may occur, either indirectly or directly from the use of this product.

Care
CLEANING
🫧 Light cleaning: wipe lead with a warm, soapy cloth then hang to dry.
🧽 Deep cleaning: soak lead in warm soapy water for 30 mins, wipe with a cloth then rinse thoroughly. Hang to dry.
🧺 Machine wash: Put lead in a laundry bag, wash on gentle with cold water, hang to dry.
🧼 We recommend using mild detergents as heavy duty detergents have shown to effect the finish on some products. If you are unsure of the intensity of your detergent and want to extend the finish, soak clips in hot water only.
🌊 Rinse after exposure to salt water.
MAINTENANCE
🛠️ Ensure that you regularly soak the entire product. It's important to clear debris from the mechanics of clips for long-term use. Apply high-quality oil to swivel to extend the life of your lead - like a tire tread, this mechanism eventually wears away and the lead will need to be replaced. NEVER apply oil to trigger chamber as this may lead to unwanted unclippings. Regularly check the swivel and opening/closing mechanism of clips.
🦷 Never leave your gear unattended with dogs known to chew.
🚗 Do your best to protect gear from exposure to extreme conditions, especially those created during vehicle storage (such as direct light through windows or freezing temperatures).
