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™.

Rope Length: 5 ft (1.5 m) (Small and Large)

    Sturdy and nice

    After cycling through various leashes for our 17lb feisty strong puller mini schnauzer, we finally upgraded to this leash. We have a RuffWear harness, which has stood up to wear and tear for two years so far, I had to look to RuffWear for a leash. The leash is so sturdy and well made. One of the reasons why I chose it is for the locking carabiner. The last leash had unhooked a few times while walking him and once when he was playing with another dog. This leash gives us a peace of mind. The handle is comfortable to hold and I love how lightweight the rope is.

    Strong AND pretty!

    I like the color and that it is strong for walking on all kinds of terrain. The clip is secure, too. Thank you, Ruffwear!

    Keeps getting better

    We have used these leashes for the last 10+ years and continue to choose them for any new needs. I love the weight and strength of the leash and the easy to use carabiner. The newest design with a self locking carabiner makes walking our giant breed dogs feel safer and the swivel/spinner between the leash and carabiner really helps to decrease twisting of the leash.
