70ft paracord = cool dog lead

[Haze]

It was one of those "i can do that no bother" moments where you agree to something with out thinking it through.

So.... a couple of hours later my friends dog has a this cool kick ass dog lead
il need to make one for my dog now

Waste of paracord.

Disassemble it, grab some kydex, and use it to make doggie sheaths!

(Nice handiwork.)

Great looking leash, and you take your dog camping, well you have 70' of spare paracord.

 

[Stormdrane]

Nice work! Now you need to make a matching collar.

Awsome work. Just curious what knot did you use? I am thinking of making onr for my dog but I have not settled on a knot yet. How long was the end product(actual leash not paracord),

thanks

Cool leash. That split ring is a weak link though, I would use a steel biner.

 

[mtngoat]

double post sorry

 

[stingray4540]

Awesome! If I had a dog, I would be so motivated to make one right now.

 

[JackBauer24]

very cool. I've considered this a few times. I don't know how to make that knot though.

I have one of those retractable dog leashes I use. Mostly I let him run loose but I like the retractible one cause in the really wooded areas you need to keep them close or they go around one side of the tree and you the other

do you leash him because he'll run away? Just curious, mine is never leashed unless we're jogging in town or doing some skills training (may possibly a S&R dog someday). If I'm in the bush, he's my scout and my first line of defense. He also heards my little dogs that don't listen.

sweet leash. I actually made my dog a collar in the same colour paracord with the same cobra stitch. I used some orange for the inner core. Problem is everyone who sees it wants me to make one for their dog.

I made Maisy one from climbing rope, not as cool looking as yours but pretty bomb proof !!!

Same here JB. My ridgeback is trained to keep track of me in the wild. Still, that's a nice leash for the city.:thumbup:

Here you go. It's an instructable on the cobra knot by Stormdrane, who is a member here. Check out his blog too, there are tons of knotting ideas.:thumbup:

I laughed when I saw that. Pretty awesome. :thumbup:

 

[nick-nack]

I made my dog one but using the diamond braid. More round like a regular dog rope leash. Ive seen a guy who makes and sells them.

Nice lead but it wouldn't work for my old Lab, Bruno he could chew thru a 3/4 nylon rope in about 2 seconds , but you put him on a chain he would just lay down and wait, the other end of the chain wasn't even fastened. Good Dog. Very nice work :thumbup: Pat

Nice work. I made the sling for my 10/22 and it took a while. I might have to do this for my boxer too. I also love the climbing rope w/ the snap link too, definatly gonna have to rig up one of those.
