42 reviews forHeim Riveted Dog Lead - Black

The lead is excellently crafted, top-quality leather, beautifully soft and very sturdy.

I have to say, I'm thrilled with the lead. The leather is beautifully soft, and the length is perfect... not too long... not too short... great for training. The only downside is that the clip is quite heavy and large, and the lead is a bit narrower... for small dogs... it would be fantastic... However, since I use a soft harness, my dog doesn't have to "drag" it around their neck and doesn't notice it. I would definitely buy it again... it would be great if it came in different sizes.

This is a very good lead. It feels great in the hand, even though it's a bit heavier. It feels very high-quality and soft. It withstands the pull of the dog (Lapland mix) and is highly adjustable. All in all, a fantastic product at an affordable price. Highly recommended!!

Super dog lead

The lead is really lovely.

I ordered the lead some time ago, and the condition and delivery time were excellent. Regarding the lead: there are certainly higher-quality leads of this type, but they usually start at €50 and upwards! Nevertheless, it is well-made and will definitely withstand normal use for a long time. I personally always use it for two medium-sized dogs at the same time. This is definitely not a "cheap product"!!! For the price, it's a top-notch lead! I would buy it again anytime.

Bought for our Collie lady in summer 2015. The lead is used exclusively in all weather conditions. After 2 years, no damage, discolouration or visible "weak spots". Simply unbeatable for this price!

I bought this lead for my Great Dane. I'm absolutely thrilled with it. It's very soft and has a good grip, and it doesn't get ripped out of my hand when my 43kg dog chases after leaves. On top of that, it has a very pleasant leather smell!

Rivets too weak. A strong pull from the dog (27 kg) and the lead tears apart at the rivets. Completely unusable in public spaces or traffic. The manufacturer should review the product.

I've had the second lead for 4 years now, the first one lasted 8 years... The leather is soft and supple... ;)) I've never had to deal with rust or the rivets breaking... The carabiners are still the same ones and have been doing their job for 4 and 8 years respectively... ;) Even the 8-year-old lead looks no different from the newer one, as with minimal care it looks like it just came fresh out of the shop... 😊😊

I've had my 2nd lead for 4 years and the 1st for 8. The leather is soft and supple. Neither of the leads have rust or tears around the rivets. The carabiners have done their job for the last 4 & 8 years. I can't even tell the two leads apart, because with minimal care they still look as good as when I first bought them

At first, the lead gives a stable and good impression. However, after just a few walks, I noticed that it stains the skin (my hands) quite a bit. Due to the weather conditions, I had to wear gloves anyway, so it wasn’t too bad. But after about three weeks of daily use, one of the rivets broke!! This can’t have been because of my dog (he weighs 22kg and walks nicely on the lead). I find that really disappointing because the lead itself feels good in the hand. Really disappointing!

After some time in use, the carabiners come undone on their own, and it doesn’t matter whether the dog is pulling or just sniffing around leisurely. All three leads failed at the carabiner. One came undone near a road, and the poor dog was almost run over. It doesn’t matter which dog is on the lead – we have three of different sizes and weights (between 12 and 40 kg). So, it’s better to spend a bit more money when it comes to the safety of your furry friends.

After barely a week of use, the rivets tore out, and MY HUSKY WAS "LOOSE" next to me AT THE EDGE OF THE FOREST!!! Thank goodness he was just as startled as I was, and I managed to grab him just in time before he could have bolted... If something like this happens after years of use, fine, but in this case, it only gets a POOR rating for terrible quality. On top of that, the leash bled colour heavily in the rain, even though I treated it with good leather conditioner before "putting it into use."

Apparently, I'm not the first this has happened to. Something like this shouldn't happen, especially not with a young dog.

The lead itself is TOP, but after about three-quarters of a year (bought in January 2015) and only around 20 uses, it tore at the rivet, and our dog was gone :( Luckily, we found him again.

The first lead in black has now lasted us over 5 years – simply brilliant! Unbeatable value for money in terms of: Functionality (multiple carabiner hooks for extending/shortening, walking two dogs with one lead), long enough for freedom of movement, supple, looks high-quality, ours (including the second one in brown, which after 2 years is now more or less black as well) have never faded, and the carabiners haven’t rusted! I’ve recommended or gifted this lead countless times – everyone is absolutely satisfied! The lead is also really sturdy; when our Howi-Lab mix bitch was still young and overly energetic, this leather lead never failed! Personally, I find those strange "curtain cords" (back in the day, you’d find them on drapes!) quite odd, especially for larger dogs – well, to each their own – the main thing is that the dog gets out regularly. Ours go out with proper home-made leather leads! M.G.

I actually ordered this lead for a friend, but I have used it a few times. Super grippy, great length and looks very stylish. I have now bought my own one and am very excited - especially with the fab price!! Thank you zooplus!!!

I originally ordered the lead for a friend and decided to try it out myself. Super grippy, perfect length, and looks very stylish. I've now bought one for myself and I'm absolutely thrilled!! Especially at this price... Thank you, Zooplus!!!
