The Knot-a-Leash™ is a classic climbing-inspired leash that takes design and durability cues from the crag to create a strong connection with your canine. With supple, reflective kernmantle rope, a comfortable tubular webbing handle, and an auto-locking carabiner, it's the leash that'll go the distance from the epic to the everyday.

The tri-action, auto-locking carabiner not only creates a secure connection, but it also swivels to create a twist- and tangle-free experience. Lift, twist, and open to engage the locking mechanism on the carabiner.

The strong rope core in the Knot-a-Leash™️ is made from repurposed remaining yarns, which helps reduce impacts from disposal, recycling, and material production.

Complete the kit with the matching Knot-a-Collar™.

    Trustworthy secure leash

    I really like the secure carabiner clasp. I often take shelter dogs out for hikes and it is so important to trust that your leash clasp is not going to break (which has happened to me with other brands). Ruffwear makes a lot of reliable gear.

    Perfect all-around

    This leash will stand the test of time. Out of all the leashes we have had for our dog, this one is by and far the best quality.

    Leash for a lifetime!

    I have a small and a large Knot-a-Leash both around 10 years old, both starting to show a bit of wear. Neither leash was at the end of use, both had a bit of wear at the knots I had tied in them. I bought 2 new leashes and they are of the same outstanding quality of my first two. These leashes are tough, comfortable, and will probably last me at least 10 more years. Other than the quality and the clip, the thing I like most is the ability to tie the leash at points that I need. For the collar I tie 2 knots, one for a close heel, one for a more relaxed walk. For the harness I have one knot for a relaxed walk. The knots give me extra grip for times when I need more control, like when a herd of deer cross our path and Mario goes nuts. I love these leashes, they aren't cheap, but they endure. They are worth the price in every way.

    Swivel Action

    Finally! The leash won't get twisted due to the new swivel link.
