A 10-meter waterproof long line that's been genuinely useful for late evening walks and water-based adventures when Murphy's recall is... optimistic. Sturdy, practical, and doesn't turn into a soggy rope monster — though it does have opinions about tree roots.

A proper everyday collar that's still going strong after months of mud, puddles and sit-down protests. Built to last, comfortable enough for daily wear, and that grab handle is more useful than you'd think. What's also great, is that they have a Head Office and Retail space in Nottingham, if, like us, you want to go and visit and try the products on before making a purchase.
Our everyday pick for longer walks and practising recall. Gives Murphy the freedom to explore while we keep a sensible amount of control — especially useful when working on greeting manners around people and other dogs.
Some dog gear gets bought with the best intentions and quietly disappears into a cupboard. This lead has done the opposite. Over the last 12 months it's become our default lead for most walks because it adapts to whatever the day throws at us.
