Choosing the Best Leash for Your Dog
Nothing sets a dog’s tail wagging like the rustle of a leash. But the lead you grab can make the difference between a relaxed adventure and an exhausting tug-of-war. Below you’ll find a run-through of the three Mighty Tiga leads—what makes each one special, and when to reach for which—so you can match your gear to the walk you have in mind.
The Long Dog Lead
5-metre and 10-metre lengths — proudly Australian made
If you’ve ever wished you could let your dog roam without unclipping altogether, the long line is the answer. At five metres it’s the perfect “training wheels” length: your dog can practise recall at a safe distance while you still have time to reel in when a cyclist or another pup appears. Push out to ten metres and suddenly you have a beach-day or bush-track superstar—long enough for genuine, nose-to-ground exploration, short enough that you never lose control.
Our long lines are made from 8mm Australian-made rope that’s built to handle real adventure. It’s UV resistant, colourfast, and low-abrasion—so it won’t fray or fade, even after endless hours in sun, sand, or rain. It’s tough enough to be dragged through mud and scrub, yet still comfortable in hand. At the clip end, we’ve finished the rope with hand-whipped paracord detailing—a durable and beautiful touch that sets this leash apart. Finished with a lightweight anodised aluminium carabiner that locks closed, this lead gives you the freedom to train, roam, or explore—without compromising on safety or durability.
The Hands-Free / Multi-Purpose Lead
One leash, endless possibilities — proudly Australian made
Our Hands-Free Dog Leash is more than just hands-free—it's fully adaptable to your lifestyle and your dog’s training needs. Designed to be worn comfortably around your shoulder or waist, keeping your hands free for giving your dog treats. But it’s also a fully functional handheld leash, adjusting easily from 1.5 metres up to 2.6 metres in length.
This versatility means you can start with a shorter lead for closer control, then gradually extend it—right down to the centimetre—as your dog gains confidence and earns more space. Whether you’re training a new puppy or managing a strong, energetic dog, this lead grows with your routine and adapts to any environment.
It’s a single lead that works for every walk, every pace, and every training stage.
Soft-Hold Regular Dog Leash
Comfortable, reliable, and built for everyday walks
Our Classic Handheld Lead is your go-to for daily strolls, vet visits, and relaxed walks around the suburbs. Made from durable nylon webbing with soft neoprene padding through both the handle and leash body, it’s designed for comfort—no matter where you grab it. Whether you’re guiding your pup across a busy street or holding them close while passing another dog, every part of the leash feels soft and secure in hand.
The built-in swivel carabiner helps prevent tangling, especially useful for dogs that like to switch sides or spin in excitement. With its moderate length, it’s ideal for suburban environments where you don’t need a lot of slack—just enough room for a relaxed, controlled walk.
Simple, strong, and designed to handle your day-to-day without fuss.
Bringing It All Together
Whether you're working on recall with a long line, enjoying hands-free adventures, or keeping things simple with a classic handheld lead, every Mighty Tiga leash is built with the same focus on quality, strength, and style.
All of our leads feature high-performance carabiners designed to withstand serious pulling power—so you can walk with confidence, no matter your dog's size or strength. And because we believe great gear should look as good as it performs, each leash is available in matching colours, allowing you to keep a cohesive look across your walk setup. Prefer to complete the set? We also offer matching collars, designed to pair perfectly with every lead in the range.
Mighty Tiga leashes aren’t just tough—they’re made to work together, to grow with your dog, and to suit your lifestyle.
