together® Lead

  
Description of the together® Lead: "In the selection of any accessories together® attach great importance to only offering those products which are of high quality as well as fair to the animal protection and which are practical for handling. Every products was tested for its suitablility for daily use by at least three professional dog trainers before it was included in their assortment of goods. During the manufacture of the leads they are considered the following critera:
  • A Lead should be manufactured to high quality and shall not be too heavy. After all, either the dog or the human will be carrying it. All offered Leads are thus sewn on according places, not riveted! This guarantees not only a higher user comfort and reduces the risk of injury as you won't get stuck on the metal rivets, but also provides less weight.
  • The Lead should not be too short because if the Lead is too short so that the majority of the Lead is already used in order to reach the hand of the owner while the Lead is reaching over a big dogs back or while the distance between a small dog and the owner is too great, the dog will be left with harldy any space for movement and this means that after one or two steps forward the dog is pulling or rather has to pull. In terms of correct behaviour on the Lead this is of course counterproductive. together®  therefore onlyLeads with a length of two or three meters. Furthermore, they are offering long Training Leads in lengths of five or ten meters.
  • The material shall be comfortable to hold in the hand and should not cut in if the dog should get tangled up in it. together® therefore not using any circulary woven materials as these are more likely to lead to injuries on the hand of the owner of the legs of the dogs if tangled up in it.
  • The used snap hooks should be appropriate for the size of the dog. This means that on a Lead for small dogs there are no big, heavy snap hooks and the snap hook for big dogs has to be strong.
      
    The together®-Lead colour coordinated to the together®-Harnesses. The Lead has a width of 15mm or 20mm. On the ends there is a hand loop with snap hook (chromed) with which the Lead can be shortened. The Lead is easily fold up and thus can be stored in every jacket pocket.
     
    The together®-Lead is avialable in 3m, 5m or 10m lengths.
    Available colours are; blue, burgundy, gold, green, silver, black, orange and turquoise."

    We have a together®-Lead in 15mm width, 3m length and colour gold.

On the end of the Lead there is a hand loop with snap hook.

Review

I am very happy with our Harness and Lead Set by together®. The quality is very good!
As Rocky has an intermediate size it is always difficult to find a Harness that fits well. Usually, a fitting Harness has a webbing band of 10mm which is too narrow or for a Harness with a webbing band of 15mm the Harness itself is too big and the back strap too long. The together® Harness however fits Rocky perfectly! The webbing band is with 15mm width perfect and the back strap not too long. Furthemore, the Harness is very sturdy.
I also think the matching together® Lead is great. It's 15mm width is good and it is soft to hold. I am especially enthused about the hand loop on the end of the Lead. Normal adjustable Leads unfortunatley do not have a hand loop and rather just a snap hook on the end. Due to the hand loop the together® Lead is easy to hold when leaving it long.
Additionally, I think it's great that together® donates a part of the revenue from the sale of their Harnesses and Leads to the animal welfare. Thus, one knows that by buying their products one also does something good.
Overall, I am more than happy with our together® Harness and Lead Set and can recommend it to everyone!
