The People Behind the Business: Last summer on an afternoon drive through the south fork of Long Island, Megh and Kurt of the K-Leash stopped at a beach bar outside Montauk.With them was Bustar, their best friend and miniature dachshund. As an avid beach enthusiast Bustar expressed an interest in joining them (waggy tail) but they neglected to bring along his leash. What they did have was some scrap sailing rope and a set of splicing tools. That afternoon in the driver's seat of their car two simple splices were built into a length of red sailing rope and the first K-Leash had arrived. Since then they added several new K-Leash models using similar concepts.
ABOUT THE K-LEASH: The K-leash is a modern rendition of the martingale collar. It is hand spliced rope custom fit to the width or your dog's neck. The eye splice adjusts to a larger loop to slip over your dog's head. It is placed around the dog's neck and with a simple slide of the hand adjusts to a custom secure fit for your canine. When your pup tries to pull his or her head out of the collar, the tension on The K-leash pulls the eye splice taut preventing escape. When adjusted properly the dog is never choked, but the eye splice collar stays snug around your dog's neck.
The K-leash is made from recycled sailboat line. This line is an anti-abrasive cover made to withstand the toughest loads and harshest seas and often sells for $10+ per foot. We found we had piles of expensive extra rope too short for any boat and two feisty pups who like to escape and chew through everything. So, we decided to use our creative splicing skills, save some money, and re-use all those left over rope ends. Now we want to share our design with you and your pup. We can guarantee your dog will have no chance destroying this line. It's also safe enough for the laundry, it's colorful, and it's custom made!
MEASURING: To measure for The K-Leash, find a soft tape measure or a piece of string. Measure at point A, B, and C in the drawing shown. Provide us with a message stating A,B,AND C, to ensure that your K-leash fits.
For some Pups their measurements at points A & B may be the same or close. Choose the measurement that is large enough to slip over the head (point A) but not too large to fit correctly at point B.
In other words, choose the smallest size that will still fit your dog. If your dog has a 15 inch neck we will design your K-leash to adjust from 13-18 inches.
