The look, without the kilo of metal hanging off your dog.
Chain leads photograph beautifully and wear terribly. They are heavy on a dog's neck, they rattle with every step, they are cold in winter and they are miserable to hold if your dog pulls.
FauxChain gives you the same silhouette in a fraction of the weight. From two metres away it reads as a chain. In your hand it is a lead you can actually walk with.
Why it works
It is light. The weight of a chain lead is carried by your dog's neck for the entire walk. This is not.
It is quiet. No metallic chatter following you down the street, which matters more than people expect on a nervous dog.
It is comfortable to hold. No links digging into your palm when they spot a squirrel.
Two finishes. Black, or bronze-gold.
Straight talk
This is a style lead. It is for walking a dog who walks reasonably well — not a training tool, and not the thing to trust with a large dog who lunges hard.
Check the clip and the stitching regularly, as you would with any lead, and replace it at the first sign of wear. A lead is the one piece of kit where failing quietly matters.
