ViperBiothane Working Tracking Lead Leash Long Line for Dogs 2 Colors and 6 Sizes, 1/2" x 33ft, Black

This leash is great, and that is coming from a die-hard leather leash person. I purchased the 3/4 x 15' for my 100lb Akita. It felt a little heavy at first, but actually it just feels like a higher quality product. The snap is made of brass and works well. The hi-vis orange helps alert others to my presence, when walking in my neighborhood.I would definitely recommend this to other large dog owners. Just consider all the germs, bacteria, pathogens, that a porous material like leather can absorb. Now think about how a handler working an active dog touches the full length of the leash over and over again. The biothane is a closed cell soft vinyl coating over a strong woven nylon strap. One pass with an antiseptic hand wipe and it's clean.Edit: I've been using this leash for about 4 months now. Love it. Sturdy and strong. I actually contacted Biothane and found out the working load of their 3/4" product is 750 pounds. That's a lot. They also said the waxed threading used by Viper for securing the ends is double the strength of rivets, which tend to fray the material and pull through. Don't buy the knock-off with rivets.

I purchased the 3/4" 33 ft lead to train my 6 month old boxer on recall. It is very sturdy although very heavy so she would not move. I will return to try the 1/2" and hope it is lighter. You may want to keep this in mind when ordering.

My dog likes to wade, and I wanted a biothane leash that wouldn't pick up smells. All was well until she bolted after another dog one day and snapped the leash.Will not buy another as I need a leash I can trust.

I recently completed a mud run with my Chihuahua and needed a leash for the event. I knew of biothane from my tracking days, so I searched online for a leash. Amazon rocks. I purchased two different lengths. This brand is awesome quality. The leash worked perfectly. My only critique is that I wish they were available in a lighter snap as the snap is heavy and bulky for a Chihuahua. This is the case with almost every dog product out there and is not particular to this company. Just wanted to let small dog owners know that. However, with the smallest width, which I purchased, I believe it would be possible to put on a smaller snap yourself and either restitch it or rivet it if you have that ability. I do not.

I have a 2-yr-old miniature Australian Shepherd who is about 26 pounds. I purchased the 15’ leash to give him a little extra freedom when we have space and time for him to explore and frolic, but also to work on training his recall. This leash felt a bit heavy when I received it but all concerns were alleviated when I tried it out with my dog. It’s not too heavy for my him at all, and the length gives him some freedom without being too cumbersome for me to gather up since I’m inexperienced in using a longer line. I love the quality feel and ease of cleaning, plus the bright color lets others know that I do have my dog on leash as required by law. I like the sturdy buckle that attaches to my dog’s harness as well. I think my only suggestion for improvement would be to add a sturdy locking carabiner as an alternative to the buckle. I can’t wait to give it a try out on the nature trails!

Some women collect shoes, I tend to have a thing for leashes. I can’t even guess how many leashes I own and have seldom felt the need to write a review but I like everything about this leash. I like the way it feels. I like that it is snag-proof. I like that it’s lightweight yet heavy duty. I seriously have no complaints....only wish the 30 ft leash wasn’t quite so pricey. I’ve spent a small fortune on dog items and right now can’t justify spending another $40. Still, the 10 ft leash is one of my all time best purchases.

This leash is fantastic. Great training leash length. Highly visible so you don't trip over it. Quality hardware. The biothane material stands up to abrasion (such as dragging on pavement and gravel), rough playing with other dogs, and wet conditions. It doesn't stretch and it doesn't retain odors like other leashes. Dirt can be quickly rinsed away or washed away with dish soap. It seems a bit heavy if you carry it and the thinner width doesn't offer good grip (not as good a grip as leather but not as painful as nylon) if your dog tries to drag you , but I leash my 60lb dog to my belt with it and we walk a few miles on pavement each day with the leash dragging between us no problem. All that abuse and it still looks brand new after 6 months. I imagine this leash will last a lifetime. I always recommend this leash to dog people. It offers a much more secure method of controlling your dog yet giving them some freedom to move independently than a retractable leash.

I own these in four sizes and use them all the time. I have Irish Wolfhounds ranging in weight from 124 to 185. These are sturdy and don't slide through your hands when the dogs reach the end and pull. We train in obedience and scent training with the leads and they slightly shorter 10 foot and 15 foot are excellent for beginning recalls and scent work. I highly recommend.

Love it. Will buy another. Use it for my dog walking business, so easy to clean, doesn’t tangle like other long lines and feels nice to hold.

Happy nice training lead

The media could not be loaded.  I freaking love this lead, and so does my derp- I mean, dog! It’s a great weight and thickness (I got the 1/2” x 33’ size) and isn’t prone to tangling. Super easy to manage and coil/uncoil. I’ve used some regular 30’ cotton leads and didn’t like them at all, so I can’t recommend this enough. I found it was a little difficult to work with out in the -25 C weather, but then so am I, so it’s only fair.

I actually bought this leash and cut it up to make a muzzle for my dog, BUT, when I was done I still had loads of leash left for actual dog walking and it is so great I bought another one to use for it's intended purpose. I am working on off-leash training with my dog, and it is the perfect material. I can just drop it and let it drag through the dirt and mud without it collecting any nastiness or soaking up a bunch of water. Easy to clean off, which means I don't end up with the cold, wet, hands that I usually get with a nylon/rope leash. Also, I was worried about the thickness, but it's incredibly strong and holds up even when my dogs are pulling heavily.

I love this long line. It's the perfect length for walking in the woods with my dog. It's super easy to clean after - I keep a towel in the car to wipe the whole thing off when we're done. Dirt doesn't stick into it like with nylon leads. My only problem is that if I go into the water or am sweating, it's very hard to keep a hold on the handle! I have a dog walking belt that I clip it to now so I don't have to worry about how slippery it is. I'm overall very pleased with it.
