Sarah's Signature Teaching Lead



Imagine a stylish belt that does double duty as your dog’s leash: that’s the concept behind Sarah's patented Teaching Lead®, which lets you walk your dog with hands-free convenience. This leash is equally handy outdoors as in, where it can actually take the place of a crate when you’re home to encourage good canine behavior throughout the day. Both nylon and leather versions come with an instuctional booklet that describes its many uses. During a dog’s puppyhood, building a strong bond between you is critical, and the Teaching Lead® promotes that closeness by joining you two together at the hip - literally as well as figuratively.
