Smart Leads are one of those "Why hasn't anyone thought of that before" designs. A quality lead for everyday use, with the added advantage of being length adjustable and enabling you to securely tether your dog to a tree or pole without unclipping the lead from your dog, or tying knots in it.

Smart Leads are rated for tethering strength -
This Regular Smart Lead is rated for tethering dogs up to 25 kg.

The rated strength is related to the breaking strain of the Plastic Buckle in the handle when used for tethering. In normal walking the lead is substantially stronger, but is only guaranteed up to 25 Kg due to the plastic buckle being the least strong component.

Care should always be exercised when tethering a dog, to make sure the dog is safe and supervised, that pathways are not restricted by the tethered dog (not all people are comfortable near dogs) and keep in mind that an agitated dog could easily chew through the lead to escape.

Smart Leads are length adjustable from 1.5m down to 0.8m.
