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™.

    Strong and comfortable

    I really like this leash. The rope is strong and the round profile is easy on the hands. The handle is comfortable enough to restrain a strong dog pulling to get to a squirrel and the caribiner style clip is very robust and has a locking screw. Excellent product

    Comfortable, super-tough leash for my beefy boy!

    My 70-pound city dog loves to pull when he sees other dogs on the street and I have struggled with poorly-crafted leashes that are too bulky in my hand to give me a good grip, uncomfortable or awkward to hold, or too flimsy at the connection to give me confidence. The knot-a-leash elimates all of those concerns. A comfortable grip that is easy to grip and a powerful connector that will not open accidentally. I could not recommend strongly enough.

    Love this leash!

    We love this leash. Perfect length for walks around town, the carabiner hook is great and easy to use, the handle is super comfortable and we love the extra spot for tying poop bags on! Doesn't seem to stretch out or wear. This is our 2nd one. We bought for back-up for the forst one we bought. We love it so much!

    The Solution for my “Escape Artist” - The Locking Carabiner Leash

    When our “escape artist” husky went into “zoomie” mode was able twist out of the “snap” style lock on her old leash. Thankfully, the locking carabiner on our new Knot-a-Leash is zoomie-proof. I just need to remember to lock it. ;)
