The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
The moment your dog realises the lead is coming out, everything changes: the spin, the whine, the sheer barely-contained joy. A lead that feels good in your hand, that moves with your dog rather than against them, makes that walk something both of you look forward to.
Laura hand-splices every lead in her Oxfordshire studio, working with marine-grade rope to create a multiway design that shifts from standard lead to hands-free in seconds. The splicing technique, drawn from traditional ropework, produces joins with no stitching to fray and no hardware to snag, just clean, continuous rope that holds its form walk after walk.
Each lead is produced in small batches, so the craftsmanship never gets diluted by volume. Orders are typically dispatched within 8-10 days.
Why we chose this
Laura's hand-spliced leads from Oonalfie are the rare kind of training tool that owners reach for every single day without ever wanting to replace.
Size & fitMeasurements and how to fit
The multiway configuration allows the lead to be worn and adjusted in several positions, from a standard handheld lead to a hands-free option across the body.

The lead is constructed from marine-grade rope, chosen for its resistance to wear and its comfortable, non-slip grip in all weathers. Joins are formed entirely through traditional hand-splicing, eliminating the need for stitching or mechanical fastenings at the connection points. The result is a lead that is as strong at its junctions as it is along its length. The clips and connecting rings are solid brass, selected for strength and a clean, durable finish.
CareCleaning and everyday care
Rinse the lead with clean water after muddy or wet walks and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight, which can degrade rope fibres over time. Inspect the spliced joins periodically and contact Oonalfie if any wear becomes visible.
