FAQ - About our waterproof BioThane® Handsfree Training Leads

What makes your hands-free training lead different from a standard lead?

Our award-winning Handsfree Lead is one of the most versatile, multi-function designs on the market. With two trigger clasps, two fixed D-rings, and a movable Perfect-Fit adjuster, it adapts effortlessly to every walking style - whether you prefer handsfree, cross-body, dual-clip (collar and harness), or standard use. It’s your all-in-one solution for freedom, comfort, and control.

Why is it award-winning?

Our Trinkety Paws™ Handsfree Training Lead earned national recognition for its innovation, versatility, and durability. Judges praised its smart design that allows owners to walk, train, or run completely handsfree while maintaining total control. It’s become a favourite among trainers and dog owners alike for blending practical functionality with premium craftsmanship.

Is this lead suitable for training and working dogs, or just everyday use?

Yes - it’s built for both.

While it’s stylish and great for everyday walks, its features (the 8ft length, strong BioThane® webbing, dual-clip capacity etc.) make it ideal for active use, recall training, hands-free jogging and for dogs who need more flexibility in how they’re handled.

This lead is great due to it's multi-purpose, adjustments and therefore supports good training workflows.

How strong and durable is the lead?

Very strong. It’s handcrafted in the UK from genuine BioThane® - the waterproof material won’t fray, absorb odours or degrade like fabrics or leather.

For longevity order from our Everlast Range or Design Your Own options, and combine with premium hardware options such as Gold Brass, Stainless Steel or Aluminium Locking Carabiner. The strong material and construction, it’s reliable for large or powerful breeds and active use.

Is it comfortable and safe to wear hands-free or across the body?

Absolutely. The width and materials are chosen to feel comfortable for you, and the movable D-ring adjuster helps you find the perfect fit for height and body type, a great advantage to similar models on the market that have only minimal adjustment options. The design ensures safe control, through our integrated Grab Handle and without sacrificing comfort - a crucial factor in hands-free leads for training or exercise.

Is it waterproof and easy to clean?

Yes - because it’s made from BioThane®. This means it’s 100% waterproof, mud-proof and odour-resistant, and wipes clean in seconds. No soggy, smelly mess after walks; perfect for all weathers and spontaneous trips.

What length and width options are available?

Our handsfree Training Lead is 8ft (245 cm) in length from end to end, with width options of 16mm (Slim) or 19mm (Standard).

It fits most breeds and walking styles and with the multi-clip design, it’s very flexible in use, and can be shortened to 4ft or less when worn around the waist or across the body.

Can I use this with both a harness and a collar?

Yes - one of the standout features: since it has two trigger clasps you can clip it simultaneously to a harness and collar to give you more control for pullers or training situations - yet also use it simply as a standard lead, by using the second clasp to create a standard hand loop.

How do I clean and maintain the lead?

Just wipe with warm soapy water or rinse under the tap. BioThane® does not absorb water or odours, so it stays looking and feeling fresh.

Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, and rinse classic hardware after salty or sandy beaches for longevity.

If the Hardware Trigger Clasps become a bit stiff, simply spray some WD40 or similar lubricant into the opening below the bolt, to clean out any debris.

What if I want hands-free jogging or hiking with my dog?

This lead has you covered. It’s designed to allow hands-free wear, such as across the body or attached to your waist - freeing your hands while keeping safe control. Great for coffee and walks, or ideal when you need to take a snap of the scenic view. Trainers and active owners love it for that reason.

Where is this lead made and what is the manufacturing standard?

Like all our products it is handcrafted in our Northamptonshire, UK workshop, by our small team using premium materials and rigorous quality checks. Every lead is made with care in the Trinkety Paws tradition of durability, performance and style.
