Every now and then I see people asking about and comparing different brands of dog leashes and such to find the best one. HAs anybody tried making their own??? A few days ago me and my bf drove out to a leather shop and picked up a few strips of already treated and tanned leather. We also picked up some rivets and snaps. Yesterday my bf showed me how to make a braided leather leash by taking apart an old one and having me put it back together over and over until i could do it without thinking about it. Then we brought out the new leather we got, I cut it in half and the first one my bf guided me in making a 2ft leash but the second 2ft leash i made all on my own! It was surprisingly easy! And the result it incredibly strong!!! The first leash and collar my bf made got sent down to a friend of ours who does PP training with American Bull Molossers. He says it is now the only leash he uses with his dogs. I am hoping to make more soon. I already have plans to make a leather martingale collar. Its sooooo much cheaper than buying it at the store or onlie. Plus making it yourself you know the quality. I will get pics soon and post them but Im curious if anybody else has ever tried making their own leather collars and/or leashes???
