1/2" x 15' Jim Hodges Black Biothane Long Line Leash

If you’ve ever trained with me, you know I don’t waste time with gear that doesn’t perform. This isn’t some flimsy pet store leash — this is the exact style of long line you need to day in and day out when training dogs of all temperaments, from your easygoing family pet to that powerhouse working K9 that could drag you across the park.

At 15 feet long and 1/2" wide, this leash gives you the perfect balance of freedom and control. Whether we’re working on recalls, off-leash prep, or building leash manners, that extra length keeps the dog learning without feeling restricted. It’s also my go-to for hiking, jogging, and everyday walks — because a long line isn’t just for training, it’s for living with your dog the right way.

Made from premium Biothane — the heir to leather — this leash is soft in your hands, incredibly durable, and doesn’t stiffen, crack, or get funky when wet. Mud? Snow? Dog slobber? Hose it down or wipe it clean with soap and water, and it’s good as new. Pair that with solid brass hardware and you’ve got gear that’s as tough as it is functional.

And here’s the kicker — handcrafted in the USA by Amish craftsmen who’ve been perfecting their trade for generations. This is law enforcement and military-grade equipment trusted by professional trainers across the country.

Why I love it:

• Long enough for serious recall training, short enough to stay practical.

• Comfortable grip that won’t shred your hands like nylon or rope.

• All-weather durability — rain, snow, mud, no problem.

• Easy to clean, ready for the next session in minutes.
