Why We Recommend It
Hands-free leads are one of those pieces of kit that handlers discover and wonder how they managed without. When you're working rough ground, carrying a game bag, or need both hands for a retrieve, a conventional lead becomes a liability. The Bisley Hunting & Training Lead solves that problem with a generous 250cm total length that gives you real flexibility in how you use it. At £20.35 it's a practical investment for any handler who spends serious time in the field.

Bailey Says 🐾
My friends, I have complicated feelings about the hands-free lead. On one paw — Craig has both hands free, which means he can carry more treats. On the other paw — Craig has both hands free, which means he can signal commands much faster and I have fewer excuses. It's a double-edged sword. An excellent piece of kit. I recommend it unreservedly while acknowledging it makes my life harder. 🐾

Professional Insight
Training Academy Tip 💡
The hands-free lead is particularly useful during hunting and rough shooting training where you need to move quickly and freely across varied terrain. When both hands are free, your body language is clearer — you can use hand signals more effectively, move more naturally, and respond faster to your dog's behaviour. Dogs read body language constantly; a handler who moves freely and confidently gives clearer signals than one who's managing a lead in one hand. Use the hands-free configuration whenever the terrain or task demands it.

FAQs
How do I use this as a hands-free lead?
Loop the lead around your waist or across your body, then clip the end to your dog's collar. The 120cm working length from clip to end gives your dog comfortable movement while keeping them close to your side. Adjust the loop to sit securely around your waist before setting off.
Can I use this as a standard lead?
Yes — the 250cm total length works well as a conventional lead, giving generous slack for relaxed walking or training exercises where you want more distance between you and your dog.
Is this suitable for all breeds?
Yes — the lead is suitable for dogs of all sizes. For hands-free use with larger, stronger dogs, ensure the waist loop is secure and comfortable before setting off.
Can I use this to tether my dog?
Yes — the lead can be clipped to a fixed point and attached to the dog's collar for short-term tethering. Always supervise a tethered dog and ensure the attachment point is secure.
