Designed and made by Sporting Saint for handlers who regularly work or walk two dogs together.

Why We Recommend It

Anyone who's tried to walk two dogs on separate leads knows the problem: crossed lines, tangled leads, and a handler who looks like they're losing a wrestling match. The Brace Set solves this cleanly. The metal swivel at the split point is the key feature — it allows the two collar sections to rotate independently, which means the dogs can move naturally without the lines wrapping around each other. The adjustable slip collars mean you can fit two dogs of different sizes correctly on the same lead. At £14.95 it's one of the most practical pieces of kit for any handler who regularly works or walks two dogs.

Bailey Says 🐾

My friends, I have mixed feelings about the brace lead. On one hand, it means I get to walk alongside another dog, which I enjoy. On the other hand, it means I am physically connected to that other dog's decisions, which I do not always endorse. The swivel is genuinely excellent — we do not get tangled, which is more than I can say for the time Craig tried to manage us on two separate leads and ended up sitting on the ground. The brace lead is better for everyone. Especially Craig's dignity. 🐾

How To Use

Slip each collar section over the respective dog's head and adjust the stop to fit snugly — two fingers should fit comfortably between the collar and the dog's neck. Hold the single lead handle and allow the metal swivel to manage the movement between the two dogs. For shoot days, use to move both dogs together between drives; release each dog individually by sliding the collar section over their head.

Adjust each slip collar stop to fit each dog individually
Check the swivel moves freely before each use
Walk with the lead held centrally to allow the swivel to work effectively
Release each dog individually by sliding the collar section over their head
For 3+ dogs, attach additional collar sections to the swivel ring

Care Guide

Rinse with clean water after muddy sessions and hang to dry naturally
Check the metal swivel for corrosion or stiffness regularly — apply a drop of oil if needed
Inspect the braid for fraying or wear at stress points before each use
For leather trim: condition with leather oil periodically to prevent drying and cracking
Store coiled in a dry kit bag between uses

Professional Insight

The metal swivel at the split point is the feature that separates a well-designed brace lead from a frustrating one. Without a swivel, the two collar sections are fixed relative to each other, which means any rotational movement by either dog transfers directly to the other — leading to rapid tangling. The swivel allows independent rotation, which is essential for two dogs moving at different speeds and in slightly different directions. The adjustable slip collar sections are also important: a fixed-size collar that doesn't fit both dogs correctly creates an uneven lead that pulls to one side and is uncomfortable for the smaller dog.

Training Academy Tip 💡

Gundog Training Academy Tip

The brace lead is a management tool, not a training tool — and that distinction matters. It's designed for moving two dogs together efficiently, not for training them to walk to heel simultaneously. If you use it as a shortcut for heel work with two dogs, you'll find that neither dog learns the behaviour properly because they're each partially relying on the other's movement.

Use it for what it's designed for: moving dogs between drives on a shoot day, loading and unloading from a vehicle, or walking two settled dogs together on a familiar route. For training, work each dog individually on a single lead until the heel behaviour is reliable, then introduce the brace lead as a management tool once both dogs are trained.

If you're introducing two dogs to the brace lead for the first time, do it in a calm, low-distraction environment. Let them get used to being physically connected before asking them to walk together in a stimulating field environment.

Complete Your Setup

Pair with a Sporting Saint slip lead for single-dog work when the dogs are separated. Add the Sporting Saint Folding Spike Tether for a secure anchor point when you need both hands free on a shoot day. Super Everyday supports the joint health and stamina both dogs need for a full season's work.

FAQs

Can I use it with dogs of different sizes?

Yes — each collar section is independently adjustable, so you can fit two dogs of different neck sizes correctly on the same lead. Adjust each stop individually to ensure a snug but comfortable fit for each dog.

Does the swivel actually prevent tangling?

Yes — the metal swivel at the split point allows the two collar sections to rotate independently as the dogs move, which prevents the lines from wrapping around each other. It won't eliminate all movement between two dogs, but it significantly reduces tangling compared to two separate leads or a fixed split.

Can I add a third dog?

Yes — additional collar sections are available separately and attach to the swivel ring, allowing you to run three or more dogs on the same lead system.

What's the difference between rubber and leather trim?

Rubber trim is more weather-resistant and lower maintenance — ideal for regular field use in wet conditions. Leather trim has a more traditional finish and is available in Olive only. Both use the same 8mm braid and metal swivel construction.
