550 Paracord Makes A Great Handmade Dog Leash

The paracord leash is made of paracord (aka 550 paracord), known for its incredible strength and its multitude of color options.

When we started our quest for the best dog accessories for our 2 shibas, I learned of the paracord dog leash when I came across a Blog from Paracord expert Stormdrane. I knew very little about Paracord (short for Parachute Cord and also known as 550 cord) at that time, only knowing that this type of cord was frequently used by the brave men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The 550 paracord is is an all-purpose material and is used as a survival tool in an emergency and survival situation. The 550 cord was originally used in World War II when the paratroopers used the paracord for their suspension lines for their parachutes. The astronauts found use of the paracord during the repair of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Today, the paracord is not only used by the military personnel, but civilians as well. In the situation of an emergency, the paracord may be used as a structure for creating a tent and as a replacement for shoe lace. The inner fibers may be used to floss your teeth as well as creating snares in catching food such as small animals and birds.

What amazed me with Paracord was its high tensile strength, lightweight characteristics, and military-inspired color options. I also knew very little about weaving, so with a little inspiration from Stormdrane and our two Shiba Inus, I decided to make the Paracord dog leash. Two years and over a hundred leashes later, I have created the standard ParaCord leash, traffic leash and couplers. Creating the paracord dog leash and paracord dog collar led me to meeting people from all over the world. I am humbled by this amazing response which once started as a curiosity.

With custom craftmanship, the paracord dog leash is made with a selection of 20+ colors. The available colors include: red, royal blue, black, olive drab green (also known as od green), ACU digital, woodland camo, desert camo, colonial blue, coyote brown, coyote tan, desert tan, electric blue, foliage green, golden rod, grey, kelly green, khaki, multi camo, neon green, neon pink, pink, turquoise and yellow.

The trigger-snap buckles provides additional security and style standard dog leash buckles. With two type of braiding styles - the diamond and spiral, four paracords are braided together. Because the paracord is available in a variety of colors, the color combinations are endless. The Paracord is extremely strong. With four Paracord strands the leash has a breaking strength of 2,200 lbs. it's the best leash for dogs small and large.
