- Decorative leather collars and leashes were used in the Egyptian era. Farm dogs in Ancient Greece wore leather collars with spokes. Leather collars were also worn in the Dark and Middle Ages.
- A leather dog collar or leash can be a simple piece of leather. Ornamental studs, nameplates and faux jewels can be added for a distinctive look.
- Your dog's size will determine what leather dog collar or leash is right for you. Buy a short leash if you wish to keep your dog close. You can also select a padded collar for the comfort of your pet.
- Leather is a durable material that won't fray or break easily. Leather also allows you to add decorative embellishments easier than other materials. Chain collars and leashes aren't as comfortable to your pet as their leather counterparts.
- Make sure your dog's collar is secure enough so that it won't slip away from its leash. When walking your dog, make sure that the collar doesn't pull, as this is a choking risk.
