Dog leash
Our leashes are made for daily use and to provide a safe and comfortable connection between you and your dog. Here you will find standard leashes, leashes with a traffic handle, and shorter versions for close control.
Find the right leash for your dog
A leash is used frequently, so it should suit both your dog, your hand, and the way you walk.
Some want a simple and lightweight dog leash for calm walks. Others need a more flexible leash that can be adjusted to suit the situation. Some want a leash with a traffic handle for better control when passing others, while others want a matching walking set with a collar, leash, and accessories that share the same aesthetic.
At Snøglimt, we make leashes that can be used every day, for walks, training, and in situations where you need a bit more control or flexibility.
Each leash is made with small variations and details that give the product its own unique character – just like the dogs that will use them.
Standard leash
A standard leash is well-suited for regular walks, potty breaks, and everyday use.
This is a simple and practical choice for those who want a dog leash without too many features, but with good length, a comfortable grip, and a look that can be adapted to your dog. A standard leash is easy to use, easy to carry, and perfect for those who want a neat and functional dog leash for daily walks.
A standard leash is particularly suitable if you want a leash that is always ready in the hallway, car, or hiking backpack.
Multi-leash for dogs
A multi-leash is a flexible leash with several uses. It is suitable for those who want more versatility than a regular leash offers.
With a multi-leash, you can adjust how the leash is used in different situations. It can be practical for walks, in urban environments, during training, or when you want the option to have your hands free for periods.
A multi-leash can, among other things, be useful when you want to vary the length, attach the leash around your body, or have better control when needed. This makes the multi-leash a good choice for those who want one leash that can be used in multiple ways.
Leash with traffic handle
A leash with a traffic handle gives you an extra handle closer to your dog. This can be practical in situations where you need a bit more control for short moments.
This could be, for example, when passing other dogs, along busy roads, in shops, in car parks, or in other situations where you want your dog closer to you.
The traffic handle is not meant to replace regular leash handling for the entire walk, but as a practical extra feature when you need a shorter distance between you and your dog.
Traffic handles and short solutions
Sometimes you don't need a long leash. You just need a short handle that gives you control when the dog needs to be held close.
A traffic handle or a short traffic lead can be useful in urban environments, during training, when passing others, or when the dog is already well-controlled but you want an easy grip when needed.
This is best suited for situations where the dog needs to be close to you, and not as the main leash for the entire walk.
Leashes that match the collar
Many choose leashes that match their collar, bandana, or other accessories. This creates a more cohesive look and makes the walking set a bit more personal.
At Snøglimt, you can combine colours, materials, and details that suit your dog and the style you like. Some prefer calm natural colours, while others want clear contrasts or a leash that stands out a bit.
You can choose a leash that perfectly matches the collar, or combine colours that complement each other nicely without being completely identical.
How to choose the right leash for your dog?
The best leash is one that suits your dog, your walks, and how much flexibility you desire.
Before choosing a leash, it's a good idea to consider length, material, grip, intended use, and whether you want extra features such as a traffic handle or multiple attachment points.
Dog's size and strength
A small dog often has different needs than a large and strong dog. The leash should feel light enough so that it doesn't become unnecessarily heavy, but at the same time sturdy enough for the dog's size and use.
If you have a dog that may yank, pull, or stop abruptly, you should choose the leash, snap hook, and attachment point with extra care.
Leash length
The length of the leash affects both the freedom your dog gets and the control you have.
A shorter leash provides more control in urban environments, when passing others, and in crowded places. A longer leash gives the dog more freedom of movement on calm walks, in the forest, or in open areas.
A multi-leash can be a good choice if you want several lengths and uses in one and the same leash.
Intended use
Should the leash be used for regular walks, training, urban environments, forest walks, passing others, or as part of a matching walking set?
A standard leash is well-suited for daily use. A leash with a traffic handle is good if you often need the dog close to you. A multi-leash is suitable for those who want more flexibility.
Material and grip
A leash should be comfortable to hold, even on longer walks. The material plays a big role in how the leash feels in your hand, how it behaves in wet weather, and how easy it is to keep clean.
Some materials feel softer and more flexible, while others provide a firmer and more robust feel. Choose what best suits your use.
Leash, dog leash, or lead?
Many use the words "kobbel," "hundebånd," "leiebånd," and "hundeline" (Norwegian terms for leash/lead) to refer to much the same thing. What it's called varies from person to person and from place to place.
At Snøglimt, we most often use the word "kobbel" (leash), but our products are suitable for those looking for a dog leash, dog lead, or line for their dog.
The most important thing is not what it's called, but that the leash works well for you and your dog.
Handmade leash with a personal touch
Snøglimt is inspired by Nordic nature, calm colours, contrasts, and practical solutions that actually work in everyday life.
Therefore, our leashes are made with a focus on both function and aesthetics. A leash shouldn't just look good in pictures. It should withstand walks, feel good in your hand, and suit the dog that uses it.
We make leashes for those who want something more personal than a standard dog leash off the shelf.
Leash maintenance
How you should care for your leash depends on the material and use.
A leash that is used frequently in rain, mud, sand, or salt should be cleaned regularly and allowed to dry thoroughly after use. Also, periodically check hooks, seams, rings, and attachment points, especially if the dog pulls a lot or the leash is actively used.
If you are unsure how to clean or care for the product, you can read our Care Instructions.
Frequently asked questions about dog leashes
Which leash should I choose for my dog?
It depends on the dog's size, intended use, and how much flexibility you want. A standard leash is well suited for regular walks. A multi-purpose leash is suitable if you want more options for use. A leash with a traffic handle is good if you often need to keep your dog closer to you.
What is the difference between a leash and a dog leash?
Leash and dog leash are often used interchangeably. Some also say lead or dog line. At Snøglimt, we primarily use the word leash, but the products are suitable for anyone looking for a practical lead for their dog.
What is a multi-leash?
A multi-leash is a leash with multiple uses. It can often be adjusted or attached in various ways, giving you more flexibility than with a regular standard leash.
When is a leash with a traffic handle useful?
A leash with a traffic handle is useful when you want your dog closer to you for short periods. This could be when passing others, along roads, in urban environments, in parking lots, or other places where you want more control.
How long should a leash be?
It depends on the use. A shorter leash provides more control, while a longer leash gives the dog more freedom. For regular walks, many prefer a medium length that offers a good balance between control and freedom of movement.
Can I use a multi-leash as a regular leash?
Yes, a multi-leash can be used as a regular leash, but it offers more possibilities than a standard leash. It's well-suited for those who want one leash that can be adapted to various situations.
Do you make matching collars for leashes?
Yes, Snøglimt also makes collars, bandanas, and accessories that can match the leashes. You can put together a calm and cohesive set, or choose colors that provide more contrast.
What does it mean that the leash is handmade?
This means that each leash is made individually, not mass-produced in large quantities. Small variations in details may therefore occur. This is part of its character and makes each leash a little more personal.
How do I care for the leash?
Clean the leash as needed, let it dry thoroughly after wet walks, and regularly check hooks, rings, and seams. Feel free to follow the care instructions if you are unsure how to care for the product.
