As we searched for the best of the best dog supplies, I had stumbled across Paracord Dog Leashes several years ago after reading a Blog from Paracord expert Stormdrane. At the time, my knowledge of the paracord (also known as parachute cord and 550 cord) was minimal, 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 extremely versatile and is known as a survival tool in an emergency and survival situation. The first known use of the paracord was in World War II when the paratroopers used the paracord for their suspension lines for their parachutes. The astronauts also used the paracord when they fixed the Hubble Space Telescope.

Nowadays, the paracord is not limited to the use of military personnel, but civilians also.

During a situation of survival, 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.

I was impressed on the paracord's strength capacity, lightweight, and the array of colors it came in. My experience in braiding was limited to braiding hair and making friendship bracelets when I was younger, so I was very eager to learn this new technique, I decided to make the Paracord dog leash.

Since then, my experience in working with paracord brought me to creating hundreds of dog leashes, collars and paracord bracelets. What was once a curiosity for paracord has now led me to fulfilling hundreds of requests from customers both returning and new.

The handmade dog leash is made of paracord with a choice of over twenty 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 serves as an additional security and quite a bit of style from the standard dog leash buckles. There are four Paracord strands that are inter-woven with two braiding styles - diamond or spiral.

Paracord comes in so many colors that 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.
