Lifetime Warranty

Lifetime Warranty — Really?

Yes — we mean it! Our gear is built to last, and we stand behind it with a lifetime warranty on all products used as intended. That means normal use, not chew time — as every dog owner knows, a determined pup can shred just about anything!

If your dog decides to turn their leash or collar into a snack, it won’t be covered under warranty — but don’t worry, we do offer repairs for chewed gear. Just email us at mail@arcticsammy.co.nz and we’ll help you out.

We’ll always cover any manufacturing faults or material defects for the expected life of the product.

Please note: Toys, LED Dog Light, and ID Tags are excluded from our lifetime warranty.

5 Reasons You’ll Love This Leash

Watch this video to see how the Traffic Handle Leash makes it easy to keep your dog close and under control — perfect for busy footpaths, traffic, or unexpected distractions.

Why the Right Leash Matters

Which size is right for me?

Choosing the right leash isn’t just about style—it’s about comfort, control, and safety for both you and your dog. That’s why our Traffic Handle Leash comes in two carefully designed versions to suit different needs.

• Standard – Made for medium to large breeds, this version offers extra strength and durability without compromising on comfort. It features a large auto-lock carabiner for added security, ensuring your dog stays safely connected to you.

Think: Husky, Golden Retriever, Boxer, Rottweiler, Labrador, German Shepherd.

• Light – Built for smaller breeds, this lighter version keeps things easy to handle without unnecessary bulk. It comes with a small screw-lock carabiner, providing a secure yet lightweight option for your petite pup.

Think: Cocker Spaniel, Spitz, Cavoodle, Dachshund, Mini Schnauzer, French Bulldog, King Charles Cavalier, Fox Terrier, Pug.

We recommend choosing your leash based on the size and strength of your dog to ensure the best walking experience for both of you. Whether you’ve got a powerful puller or a petite explorer, we’ve got the perfect fit.

So easy to hold

I have been looking for a round rope type lead because it feel much gentler on my hands especially when she thinks she need to chase birds. The traffic handle is large and easy to grab when I need more control.

Love the traffic handle

The traffic handle is now so useful I’ve just ordered more leashes with this. When she was a puppy the handle was awkward as it got caught on her feet, so I bought some leashes without it.
Now she’s big enough, the handle is a fantastic addition. Defo recommend once your dog is big enough not to trip up.
In the leashes themselves…. Whether you get long ones, standard ones, hands free, traffic loop or not… the quality is amazing, the rope is super durable and the carabiners are good heavy duty ones. No expense spared on these. They’ve been through the wash a couple of times too and have come out just like new. I’ve ditched all the other stuff I’ve bought for Arctic Sammy, it’s just such good quality. Highly recommend.

Dog leash with traffic lead

Very happy does the trick! Certainly a handy feature to be able to grab the shorter traffic lead with a reactive young dog. Plus quick and friendly service. Like the wee note touch that came in our package too!👌🦮

Strong, safe & secure (and stylish!)

We love this lead! It’s the perfect length, the carabiner feels super secure, and the traffic handle is really handy for controlling our greyhound at crossings/around other dogs. Plus the bright orange is fun!

Happy Summer

Summer looks so cute in her new collar and lead. She really suits the purple. And that light is amazing because it gives off a purple tinge when it's on. And so greatful for the poop bag holder and the poop loop. It holds a few bags 🤗. Thank you Acrtic Sammy xx

Just the best 👌

Incredible quality, the rope makes it so much more comfortable holding a strong pup who pulls like her life depends on it, and looks stylish all at the same time. I LOVE the traffic handle loop, its been a life saver when in sticky situations with loose dogs, and is helping with leash etiquette training too. The special carabiner style clip is fantastic for confidence that it wont suddenly unclip too. 100/10 will be buying again 👌

My 5 month old GS eats through her leads so I bought chain one which is really tough on your hands. This has been a real game changer and helps me keep control without breaking my fingers

Sturdy leash and love the traffic handle

I have only just purchased this leash as my mini dacshund is 3 months old today and walks are just starting. She hads the harness and the little collar I have is too small for the leash so just about to order the matching small collar for her. Great that the products are made herein Christchurch and I really appreciated Kristinas informative and lengthy email.

Awesome leash for my 40kg GSD

Okay, for all of you that own big reactive dogs strong gear is a musttt! I stumbled across this brand one day as i knew the average gear from the shop wouldn't be durable at all. This leash has been so handy! It has survived the dirt and mud my dog goes through, and held her back when she is reacting. Love how i can simply take it through nature walks and the leash matches the outdoor vibe perfectly. I like how i can hold it too and it doesn't feel as bulky as your basic nylon leash. The traffic handle gives me so much more confidence that whatever situation is thrown at us, I've got quick control, and a strong clasp that won't break in those intense moments, I've also attached it to the bungee leash to use for jogs/Canicross which works well. The team here at arctic sammy are super nice genuine people who are brilliant at service to the customers and their dogs. I now recommend this brand to my dog walking clients as well.

MOST COMMON QUESTIONS

Our leashes are the safest on the market. Strength tested at 500KG+, no dog will be able to break it. We even towed a car with it! (not recommended).

Unfortunately, no. You know, just like us, that dogs can chew through anything they put their mind to. The good news is: In most cases, we can repair your leash! Just send us a message and we will sort it out for you.

Yes you can! All our metal parts are either made of stainless steel or aluminium and are rust proof. We recommend giving your leash a quick rinse after a good swim to avoid long term corrosion.

No! We have tested the leash in many different breeds and none of them got tangled in the loop at the bottom.

You can contact us through our contact page! We will be happy to assist you.
