The basic leash gets an upgrade with an additional handle! Built into the leash at about 15" from your dog's neck, this shorter handle is helpful when you need your dog closer to you – whether it's crossing a busy street, standing in line at the pet store, or just trying to keep some distance from other dogs on walks. 1" wide nylon webbing with brass hardware. 5'4" length (we've found this length works well because you can hold the second handle and one loop of the rest of the leash without it hitting the ground.)
