"Flechtleine (meaning Braided Leash) was created by Ariane Senske who is living in Berlin with her dog Ulexa and her companion dog Sara.

But why is Ariane Senske making Braided and Knotted Products for dogs?
It all started with the purchase of a nice Collar...unfortunately no Leash suited in regards to colour... So why shouldn't she make a Leash in the suitable colours herself?!
She lengthy searched for a pretty braiding technique, as well as for suitable materials.
As she finally got everything together and had finished her first leash she oftentimes was asked by friends, acquaintances and other dog owners about her Leashes.
Since her passion for the braiding and knotting was awakened she at first made Leashes for friends and acquaintances, and later also Collars.
With time Ariane Senske got together more and more colours, developed several thicknesses and types. The products were shown to be very sturdy and long-lasting in practice.
She is still using her first models daily which have survived baths in the Baltic Sea, as well as mud puddles and are always coming clean and without the loss of colour out of the wahsing machine.
She also wanted to offer the wide range of colours, designs, thicknesses and types to other dog owners - thus her hobby became her career.
With every order Ariane Senske is happy about the individual wishes of the customers, the manufacturing, as well as in the end about the finished product and a picture of the dog with the handmade product.
The full depth of her creativy has yet to be explored and she is always adding more techniques and accessories. Thus, her website is always worth a visit, and you should always look out for new products!"

Next to Braided Leashes Ariane Senske also makes matching Collars, Ropes & Reins, Knotted Halters, Lanyards and Decorated Collars.
 

 
Informationen about the Braided Leashes

Braided Leashes are available in 3 thicknesses; Mini, Medi and Maxi, and can be braided round or flat.
Snap hooks are used according to the thickness.

Braided Leashes can either be unicoloured, bicoloured, tricoloured or even four-coloured depending on the customer's wish.
Therefore, 22 different colours are available.
  
orange, red, pink, bright pink, burgundy, purple, navy, blue, light blau, mint, white, beige, gold, brown, black, grey, silver, olive, green, kiwi, light grün, yellow (Picture source: www.flechtleine.de)
  
Next to a desired thickness and colour choice a specific design can be chosen as well. Available designs are stripes, helices, V-pattern, V-pattern stripes and V-pattern helices.

As examples there are three pictures of a tricoloured Leash in the designs; helices, V-pattern helices and V-pattern stripes.
 
Designs tricoloured (from left to right): helices, V-pattern helices and V-pattern stripes (Picture source: www.flechtleine.de)
  
Braided Leashes are available in several types. Thus, Braided Leashes are available as Fixed Leashes with Handle (standard of ca. 115cm long), Triple Adjustable Leashes (the length from snap hook to snap hook is a standard of 190cm), Agility-/Retriever-/Slipleashes (ca. 170cm long and has a slider to adjust the collar size, as well as a handle), Variable Adjustable Leashes (ca. 190cm long and can be adjusted with one to three variable adjustable rings), Short Leash (optimal for big dogs) and show leashes.

Every Braided Leash can thus be individually made according to colour, thickness, design and type choice.
 
  
Our Braided Leash


The Braided Leash we chose for Rocky;
Type: Triple Adjustable Leash
Colours: brown (50%), black and beige
 Thickness: Mini
Design: Helices

All Braided Products (with the exception of products with decorations) are machine washable at 40°C at the washing programm for delicate fabrics. Attention should be paid to the metalwork which needs to be protected (e.g. via knotting a sock around them; sponge- or fabric bags are not sufficient enough!).


Not glued and not coiled - Braided Leashes are spliced!

Review: I am very delighted about the Braided Leash! It has turned out to be great and is exactly how I have imagined it. In addition, it has the perfect size for Rocky especially due to its small snap hooks. The Braided Leash is not at all too heavy for Rocky and even though it is quite thin it is still very nice to hold in the hand. As I always prefer adjustable Leashes the Triple Adjustable Braided Leash was the perfect choice for us.
I especially like that there is an infinite varity of combinations of Braided Leashes and thus every Leash is an individual. A choice can be made between 22 different colours; unicoloured or mutlicoloured, different designs and types, as well as different thicknesses depending on the dogs size.
In addition, it is good that the Braided Leash is machine washable and furthermore very sturdy.
The contact with Ariane Senske was also very friendly. She takes great care to fulfill every customer's wish and she even sends example pictures of different colours and designs before a customer has to decide about actually purchasing a product. That's what I call customer-friendly!
Moreover, it's easy to tell how much care Ariane Senske puts into manufacturing a Braided Leash. The Braided Leash is really made to 100%, without any mistakes. It is The Perfekt Leash!

Maelson Customer Service

Maelson Customer Service

Some time ago I have written a post about Maelson Porducts which I would like to get back to again.

I wrote in my review about the Maelson R-Flow Jacket that the Jacket was unfortunately a bit too big, even though I otherwise think that it is a great Jacket. Thereupon, Maelson generously offered to send me the R-Flow Ladies Jacket in a smaller size. I am absolutely delighted about such a kind customer service and the contact was also very friendly.

The smaller size of the Maelson R-Flow Ladies Jacket fits a lot better and I love the Jacket immensely. I would not want to miss it again and as summer is awaited this year I am using the R-Flow Jacket daily.

Here are some pictures of the Maelson R-Flow Ladies Jacket in the smaller size:


And with Rocky:
  


The other Maelson Products are also in constant use.

The Maelson Soft Kennel 52 is placed in the car and Rocky loves it! Rocky is not only safe during car rides, but is also very comfortable inside the Soft Kennel.



We oftentimes take the Maelson Cosy Roll 80 to the park with us and we are very satisfied with it.
Rocky always immediately gets comfortable on his own blanket.



 So, even after a longer and almost daily use we are still very satisfied with the Maelson Products and would not want to miss any of the products. Furthermore, Maelson has a very friendly customer service which I think is great.

Perrito Chicken & Pollock Sandwich

Perrito Chicken & Pollock Sandwich

Ingredients: Chicken, Pollock.

Analytical constituents: Crude protein 26%, crude fat 2.5%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 3.5%, moisture 35%.


Review: The Perrito Duck & Chicken Sandwich Package were included in the  PetsNature product test (more information here). The packaging was very appealing to me as one of my favourite colours is turquoise. I like that the treats are quite small which makes them perfect for small dogs.
Even though the ingredients were quite similar to the Perrito Chicken & Pollock Sushi, the smell was completely different. While I really didn't like the smell of the Perrito Chicken & Pollock Sushi, I found the smell of the Perrito Chicken & Pollock Sandwich was quite pleasant. Rocky straight away loved them and he couldn't get enough of the Perrito Chicken & Pollock Sandwich. Due to their small size they are perfect for training and inbetween meals.
I can recommend the Perrito Chicken & Pollock Sandwich to everyone!

The Mini Engraved Designer Dog Tag, Star Pattern


The Mini Engraved Designer Dog Tag has a star pattern on it and is oval shaped. Available colours are Pink, Red, Blue and Black. The Mini Designer Dog Tag is 20mm in diameter but is also available in Small (26mm in diameter) and Large (32mm in diameter). 

Further Designer Dog Tag Pattern are available including Bone Pattern, Heart Pattern, Paw Pattern, Shamrock Four Leave Clover Pattern and Union Jack Pattern.
Rocky has the Mini Engraved Designer Dog Tag, Star Pattern in size Small and in colour Black.


Review: I really like the design of the Mini Engraved Designer Dog Tag as I like stars. I also like its oval shape. Furthermore, it is very light in weight so it is perfect for small dogs like Rocky.
 
 
 
The Mini Octagonal Silver Nickel Dog Tag
 


The Mini Octagonal Silver Nickel Dog Tag is 20mm wide and 1.5mm thick, but is also available in Small (28mm wide).

The Silver Nickel Dog Tag is also available in Round (size Mini, Small, Medium and Large), Bone Shaped and Heart Shaped (size Mini and Small).
  

Review: I am very happy with the Mini Octagonal Silver Nickel Dog Tag as, even though it's very small, a lot of lettering fits on the front and back. As it is quite thick (with its 1.5mm) it is however not as light in weight as the Mini Engraved Designer Dog Tag and is therefore better suitable for a harness than a collar (at least for tiny dogs like Rocky).
 
 
   
The Mini Round Plastic Dog Tag



The Mini Round Plastic Dog Tag is available in yellow with black lettering, red with white lettering, blue with white lettering, green with white lettering and white with black lettering.

The Mini Round Plastic Dog Tag is 20mm in diameter and is 1.5mm thick, but is also available in Small (26mm in diameter), Medium (32mm in diameter) and Large (38mm in diameter).

Further available shapes include Bone Shaped, Heart Shaped and Octagonal Shaped.


Review: My personal favourite is the Mini Round Plastic Dog Tag. The writing is very clear and the front as well as the back can be engraved. It also is very light in weight due to being made out of plastic so it is very suitable for a collar.
 

 
Overall review

Overall I am very happy with the Dog ID Tags from Engraving Studios.
I especially like that they offer a worldwide delivery on all of their products and delivery is very quick.
