But fast-forward to now, and you’ll find so many fashion-forward brands that understand you and your dog need quality, functionality AND style in a lead.

Between our two cocker spaniels Ziggy and Sunny, we own no less than five good quality dog leads. We like having different types of leads to choose from to suit the occasion – whether we’re popping out for brunch, visiting a dog-friendly beach, or just going on our daily dog walk.

So if you’ve been asking yourself lately, ‘what is the best leash for my dog…?’ we’re here to help you out!

Ready? Let’s go walkies.

Fetch & Follow Adjustable Long Leather Dog Lead

Go anywhere with your pup in style with this versatile lead that can be worn in three different ways.

If your dog needs little control on leash, simply adjust and clip the rings to wear it across your body or around your waist, leaving your hands free for coffee, shopping or snacks.

Zee.Dog Shock-Absorbing Ruff Leash

If your dog is quite the puller, and you appreciate innovative, modern dog accessories with personality – you simply can’t go past Zee.Dog’s ‘Ruff’ dog leash.

With the same cushioned handle and clever shock-absorbing technology as the Kim Airleash we have personally tested, it’s no surprise it was voted the best dog leash in the world by Pet Product News International.

Baurdelle Leather Long Lead & Dog Waste Bag

Do you believe your pup deserves the best, and you don’t believe in budgets? Then this sleek, luxury leather dog lead by designer label Baurdelle is for you and your pampered pooch.

Sporting a classic, timeless black design, the chic in-built leather waste bag will also keep your poop bags stored in style.

Nice Digs Confetti Leather Dog Lead

If you’re an Aussie dog mum like us and prefer locally-made products, this stylish Australian-made dog leash by Nice Digs ticks all the boxes.

Ideal for trendy pups of all sizes, its made from durable vegetable tanned leather, and finished with gold hardware – including the signature Nice Digs charm.

Boo Oh Lumi Leash

Looking for a fashion-forward lead that’s functional too? Meet the Lumi leash.

Boo Oh’s signature leather leash is made from lightweight aluminium and a beautiful Italian Buttero leather strap. You and your pup will be best-dressed at the park no doubt.

IdPet x Bigi Nagala Mura Friend Personalised Dog Lead

If you love an artist collaboration as much as we do, and your pup wants the world to know their name – then you’ll find it hard to resist this stunning personalised dog leash by colourful Aussie pet label IdPet.

Featuring an exclusive indigenous print created by proud Aboriginal Bidjara woman and artist Sheri Skele, this all-Australian dog lead is made for pups with paw-sonality.

Maxbone Hazel Waterproof Dog Lead

One for the sporty dogs! Made from durable rubber-coated webbing, this lightweight, waterproof leash is perfect for outdoor adventures.

Make it a matching set with Maxbone’s double-panel, breathable mesh harness – a bestseller that ticks all the boxes for style and practicality.

The Foggy Dog Rope Dog Leash

There’s a reason why this designer dog leash is a best seller! The beautiful marine rope is super strong yet soft, and comes with luxe brass hardware. You can also grab this leash in a whopping 22 other colours (hello options!)

To be super styling, grab a coordinating waste bag holder from The Foggy Dog’s chic signature Rifle Paper Co. collection.

Saint Rue City Dog Leash Fur

Need to keep your dog on a shorter lead? This stylish and durable designer leash is the perfect choice, especially for urban pups who frequent crowded places.

The handle also features long-pile faux fur shearling, which keeps your hands cozy and coddled at all times during your walk. Oh and this leash is 100% vegan, making it a good alternative to leather leashes.

Lambwolf MELLEM Convertible Waterproof Dog Leash

If you’re looking for a versatile all-weather dog leash, the MELLEM dog lead has you covered for any season or reason.

Waterproof, rust-resistant and easy to clean, you can convert it to a long line leash, or hands-free, to suit your everyday walks or outdoor adventures.

Mister Woof Leather Classic Dog Lead

Made of exceptionally durable 100% Saffiano leather – and treated with a unique waterproof coating – these luxury leather dog leads are perfect for avid walkers. It’s made to last, and make your pup look amazing.

A departure from the normal black and tan, this collection offers a chic range of colourways (hello Lilac, hello Hunter Green) for dogs wanting something timeless, but a little jazzy at the same time.

Saint Rue The City Leash Padded

Sister of The City Leash Fur (see above), this designer lead features the same luxurious design, plus deluxe neoprene padding in the handle. This keeps your hands smooth, comfortable and secure at all times.

Our top tip is to pair it with their bespoke detachable and adjustable City Strap (that can turn any of your bags into a fashionable cross or shoulder bag) for twinning goodness.

Fable Pets Magic Leash

It’s versatile, it’s sleek, and it’s a bestseller for good reason. However you choose to wear it – as a belt, a bandolier, or a wrist-strap – hands-free walks with your pup are waiting.

The durable brushed cord line is stylish and functional, offering the quality we’ve come to expect from Fable Pets. This is ultimate convenience whenever you’re out and about with your best friend.
