Why We Exist
At Lead With Love, we seek to weave together the love and care of pets with the love and care of our neighbor, with each leash representing a lifeline of hope for the local women who make them – hope for their upliftment and empowerment through our commitment to social justice and poverty alleviation.
Our handmade leashes are as beautiful and unique as the relationships and love shared by people and their pets. And just as love has a way of uniting us all in support of the greater good, each leash consists of individual strands woven together to create something both beautiful and practical.
Lead With Love is ultimately a celebration of the power and potential of love.
You might just say we're offering a new leash on love!

Our products are made from
parachute
cord…or "paracord"
We LOVE paracord because it is incredibly strong and able to withstand the twists, turns and tugs of even the largest of dogs. We’re told it has a breaking load of around 550lbs or 250kgs and we believe it. We’ve seen our leads used to tow a truck and train a horse! But here’s the best part – paracord is ideal for dog leads and collars because it’s extremely light weight. Marathon runners have told us they hardly feel the lead around their waste when going for a run! Better yet, paracord is also UV resistant and waterproof – perfect for the coldest of North American winters, and the hottest of African summers!

“I love our Lead With Love leashes. The leads themselves are beautifully woven, and I love all the customizable options. The hardware is great quality, too. We have a 6m long line that we use for mantrailing and sniffy walks in the park. It handles much nicer than other long lines I've tried. We also have a traffic leash that is great for crowded areas, like markets. Love them both!”Zani
“We love it! Beautifully made, practical and robust 🙌🏽"Kelley
“I recently purchased a Lead With Love hands-free/multi-use lead from my local pet store and it has exceeded my expectations. This leash is perfect for quick in-and-out situations and park walks. It offers convenience with a handle for extra control and can be used as a slip lead or securely attached to a harness or collar. Maintenance is a breeze, as it's resistant to dirt and easy to clean. The leash remains durable, even with my energetic Malinois. I highly recommend this brand and design to all dog owners. Plus, they offer a variety of colors and lead lengths, making it a fantastic choice for any dog owner“Sasha
“Absolutely thrilled with my 6m leash! Sarah and her team custom made my leash to match our color preferences, which makes it both stylish and practical. I love being able to give my girlie the freedom to explore safely on any adventure. Highly recommend Lead With Love for both its quality and the passion they put into making their products.”Mianca
“I love the heart and vision behind Lead With Love and what it stands for as a business and a brand. We were really blown away when we received Milo and Kente’s collars and leads. These were of really high quality and delivered to us with amazing service. Amazing service and great craftsmanship.”Boris
“We first saw Lead With Love at a market and fell in love with their work straight away. We placed a custom order from them and the sales experience was such a pleasure. Sarah is so passionate about what she does. We could choose our own colours and the promised delivery was bang on time. Only problem is, we now want more dogs to order leashes for. 😂But maybe a special Christmas leash can be considered.”Sam
“I love Lead With Love. The leads and collars are meticulously crafted by hand. Stylish and comfortable. Most important however is their commitment to empowering women in poverty. Not only is the product worth the purchase but also worth the contribution. Excellent customer service and passion! I have a hands-free lead, a long lead, and a collar but will definitely be getting more!”Angelique
