What People Are Saying


“Absolutely LOVE our two dog leash. We have been looking for years for the perfect leash and this is it. Sad that it took us so long to find The Fair Lead. So beautifully hand made and will last a life time. Up next collars for the pups!!”

— Ashley Schipritt

“Fair leads are the best leashes in my tool box! As a professional dog walker, durability and ease of use, are the most important qualities in choosing a line of leashes for my business. My pack pups take my leashes for an adventure, and I cannot believe how hardy the Fair Leads leashes are. I’m so happy with this product, and love the craftsmanship. The nautical roots to these leashes are the icing on the cake, as my business is run in a coastal community. Love, love, love these leashes!”

We absolutely love Herbie's Fair Lead! 🐾 The quality and style is unlike anything you could buy in a regular pet shop and it's forever getting compliments from other dog owners! An essential accessory we couldn't be without!

“I'm super happy with my Fair Lead leash! I love the nautical look, the quality is excellent and I love knowing that it's handmade in Rhode Island. 100% recommend.”

— Gretchen Thor

“I used to sell Fair Leads at the pet retail store I owned. It is one of the best quality homemade leashes and collars I have ever seen! Still, to this day, I use my first Fair Lead that I got from Jess about 7 years ago! Absolutely love her products! They are made with care, love, and will stand the test of time. Oh yeah, they look pretty amazing as well!”

“I got a leash for my golden retriever. They offer a nautical look while being very sturdy. The quality is great and you can tell there was no detail left unthought of. I love the leather piece on the part where you hold them because when my dog pulls on the leash, the rope doesn’t hurt and the leather cushions your hand. I don’t think I’d ever use another leash.”
