Leasehes by Lori specializes in handmade, custom dog leashes and training lines for pet, working and sport dogs.  Each leash is made to order with your choice of length, width, color, hardware and personalization.  Our tubular-webbing leashes combine exceptional strength with a soft, comfortable feel in your hands.

 

Leashes by Lori began in 2013 with my first working dog, Abira vom Nebeltal, in the sport of Schutzhund.  She was my best partner and spent her retired days at my feet as I cranked out orders.  

​

As a newbie in the sport, I always had someone on my backline to hold my dog.  It was great!  But now, with my successive dogs in the sport, it’s all me!  The lines I was using would tighten on my hands when my dogs would pull or lunge and I would end up with limited circulation and sore hands. 

 

At one of the championships Abira and I were in years ago, we received a really nice line in our competitor’s bag.  I loved it!  It was the only leash that was extremely easy on my hands, kept grip when wet but would still slide.  Now that it was time for me to step up to the plate and hold my own dogs, I wanted that same, strong leash that didn't hurt my hands and maintained grip at the same time.  After researching, I found the same material and made one for myself out of a lovely, bright neon yellow color so it could be easily located. My dog club members saw that bright color and, preferring the softness and strength of the lines, wanted some too so, to differentiate them, I began personalizing each leash. One leash for myself became hundreds for others and Leashes by Lori was born.  I'm so excited to share them with all of you!
