Genuine Truelove®. Official UK distributor. Same-day dispatch.
If a thin lead cuts into your hand every time your dog pulls, this is the lead to switch to. The Truelove® rope dog lead is built around a thick, strong braided rope, the kind of construction used for climbing rope, with 3M reflective thread woven through it and a soft neoprene padded handle that takes the shock out of a sudden lunge. A heavy-duty trigger clip holds firm on a collar or harness. It is made for large breeds, strong dogs, pullers and everyday training, and it is one of those leads owners come back to buy again once they have felt the difference.
The rope is a dense braided cord with real weight and strength to it, so it holds up to a big dog that pulls, leans or lunges. This is not a thin high-street lead that frays after a season. It is built to take daily strain from a strong dog and keep going.
The handle is wrapped in soft neoprene padding, so when your dog pulls the lead cushions your palm instead of burning or digging in. Owners with a strong dog, or with wrist or back trouble, tell us this is the single thing that makes their walks comfortable again. One customer put it simply: the rope takes the strain off your back.
3M reflective thread is woven right through the rope, so the whole length lights up in car headlights and torchlight. On dark winter mornings and evenings, and on unlit lanes, it helps drivers and other walkers see you and your dog sooner.
The trigger clip is a solid, heavy-duty snap that clips onto a collar or harness ring with one hand and holds firm under load. It is the part a strong dog tests first, so it is built to take it.
Choose your size by your dog's weight. The rope gets thicker and stronger with each size, so a medium dog gets a manageable lead and a large, powerful dog gets a properly heavy-duty one. If your dog is between two sizes, or is a strong puller, choose the larger size.
| Size | Suits dogs around | Typical breeds |
|---|---|---|
| S | 5-10kg | Cocker Spaniel, Miniature Schnauzer, small terrier |
| M | 10-20kg | Border Collie, Springer Spaniel, Staffie |
| L | 20-50kg | Labrador, Boxer, German Shepherd, Husky |
Breeds are a rough guide only. Always choose by your dog's weight and strength. For a determined puller, sizing up gives you a thicker rope and a surer grip.
This is the lead for owners of strong, powerful dogs who want something that will not let them down: large breeds, keen pullers, dogs in training, and anyone who walks in the dark and wants to be seen. If your dog is strong enough to make a thin lead uncomfortable, this is the upgrade. For a dog that pulls hard on every walk, we would always pair this lead with a well-fitted no-pull harness so the pressure goes through the harness rather than the dog's neck.
Truelove build this lead from a dense braided rope with 3M reflective thread, a soft neoprene padded handle and a heavy-duty trigger clip, put together for strong dogs and real daily use. As the official Truelove® UK distributor, That Dog only ever supplies genuine Truelove products, never imitations.
