We have had this leash for some months now and are super happy with it! It’s durable and high-quality and we appreciate the versatility of it - both my partner and I can use it - we mostly wear on our waists and adjust accordingly. We got the 6ft length and mostly use the leash for city walking. Our dog tends to lunge for squirrels and other small prey, so this keeps her close! I also like the handle at the end - it helps for guiding our dog on busier streets! We have also paired this leash with the Mini Wanderlust leash for a “double-leashed” mechanism. We will definitely consider a 7ft one in another colour in the future!
I absolutely love the look of ripe collars, but I needed a fixed length for Koda. When North Tail introduced this model I snatched one ASAP. I love it the bluckle is sturdy, but also easy to clip and unclip and the double rope looks so good. Also, I love that you can even mix and match colors.
I absolutely love this leash, since I got it. My spouse wasn't very convinced, they thought it was cumbersome to use. Then, they finally had to use it on a winter walk. There is no going back. This is now an essential and I'm getting a second one, so that we have one at each door!
I hinestly don't know how I lived with a cheap leash for so long. This one is lighter, sturdier, it doesn't burn my hands and the amber glow rope is absolutely amazing and unique. A must have for daily walks around the neighborhood!
I love this leash for the short handle when we are going to be anywhere busy. Its so easy to pick up and hold him in close if we have people passing or crossing roads. I bought my first one in 2022 and have been hooked since. My first leash is still in perfect condition and has held up absolutely beautifully.
This leash is a must-have in our hiking gear. I love the freedom I have by being able to go hands-free. I love the additional handle on the summit, so if I need to hold him in close for any reason I can comfortably and easily. The auto-locking carabiner is durable and I know it will keep him locked in and safe.
From hiking to city walks, dog sports, training, patio dining, or just a quick trip in a store our NorthTail leash is always our go-to. Not only is it stylish, with so many fantastic color options, but also durable. I know I can trust the quality of the climbing rope and the auto-locking carabiner to keep my dog safe and secure. The customer service is also incredible!
Your dog shouldn’t be the only one with durable gear! My old camera strap was questionable at best. It could easily be cut and it was so itchy! I swapped to one of these and I couldn’t be happier! It’s soft around my neck and I fully trust the durability. Also, there’s the added safety of theft as it’s UIAA certified climbing rope so it cannot be cut easily!
I love these! This little creative initiative utilizes the scraps of rope which are repurposed into the cutest little keychains! I use it to clip my house keys to my leash or treat pouch and then easily back onto my car keys! They’re the perfect little add on to your order, and also make a cute little one of a kind gift!
Have you ever put a jacket on your dog and have to dig for their collar or harness clip to connect their leash to? That’s where this mini wanderlust comes in! It hangs out just enough so you can easily have a connection point on the outside instead of digging for it! It has so many other nifty uses too and can even be a keychain!
We have this leash in a 9ft Blue Spruce. I wanted a darker colour that wasn’t black so it would show less dirt as this was meant for adventure, but still wanted to be able see the leash which the bits of orange do just that! It’s great for sniffaris and for that added length on trails while still being secured to you or can be used as a tie out when camping! There’s also no handle to get snagged on anything on the trails either. Out of all our leashes, this one has taken the most beating it’s been dragged along the sidewalk, through grass, dirt, mud, sand, snow, rocks and water and there’s no wear or fraying in sight!
This is the best most versatile all around leash! I love the Summit Seeker leash and to have it hands free just makes it that much better! This leash is perfect for training (or shopping 🤭) as it frees up your hands for treating and engaging, but also has the added safety of having a handle in case you need to grab them or keep them close! It’s adjustable, so both my husband and I can adjust and wear it and can be adjusted to wear over jackets in the winter! It can easily be turned into a longer line as well by using it non hands free, or attaching a wanderlust handle to it! They can also be tethered to just about anything. A table or chair on a patio? A tree out in nature? A tie out using the trunk of your car?. 10/10 for versatility and reliability the possibilities are endless with this leash.
I’m obsessed with the summit seeker leashes. They’re our go to leash. Our dog is dog reactive, so having a sturdy reliable built in handle on all our walks is an absolute need. It’s great for keeping him close when needed and a super quick grab point for those situations when you need a bit more control. They’re also fantastic to use while in stores where you need your pup to be close. These leashes are a staple for us and we use them every single day.
I absolutely love how light and easy these collars are! There’s minimal hardware and they’re built to last! The climbing rope is super durable and reliable! There are no buckles or clips to have to worry about breakage or failure!
Every adventure is better with the right gear! The Summit Adjustable Hands-Free Leash has become indispensable in our daily routine. From hikes to campouts, it lets me walk my dog safely while keeping my hands-free for the little moments that matter. It's all about enjoying the journey (I.e. picking up after my dog during a beautiful sunrise), capturing memories (I.e. taking photos on the mountain summit), and making the most of every adventure together. Join the club and embrace the freedom that comes with being hands-free!
The Summit Seeker leash is a staple in our house. We use it daily and we especially love the traffic handle as it helps keep Finley close to us when we need to. The material the leash is made out of is incredibly durable and strong so we don't need to worry about it breaking if Finley pulls.
This is one of must haves from North Tail. We use their slip leash collars daily! They have really helped with Finley's leash walking and has helped with his reactivity. He has less reactions now than he did when he was on a harness.
I’ve owned this leash in the 7 ft option for over a year now and it’s perfect for our neighbourhood walks, runs, and mountain hikes. I’ve also used it as a make shift long line. It’s super durable, totally adjustable, and looks great!
Would def recommend if you are looking for a versatile hands-free leash.
We use this primarily as a leash extender and drag line and it's been an amazing addition to our camping adventures. I can detach my dog quickly if needed but also re-attach him quickly when I need to. It gives some extra room to our shorter leashes by extending them. It's a quality piece and a staple in our adventure gear rotation.
I use this frequently with all of our leashes to turn them into a handsfree leash. I still get the security and quality of the amazing hardware for this product while ensuring that my hands remain free to play with my dog, pick up after him or use it as a tie out when we are on adventures.
The quality of this collar is amazing. I have had zero issues with it during our adventures. I also love the little area for you to attach your dog's tags, so that it does not interfere with the area where you attach your leash. As always, love all the colours it comes in and it's one of those things that will last you and your dog a lifetime!
We very much enjoy using this to display our unique tags. It's perfect for those of us who use primarily harnesses or other collars to attach tags to while out and about. It's sturdy and secure, and we love all the colours that it comes in. I also love that it's relatively silent (for us) as my dog tends to shake a lot and when he does, most other collars I can hear the tags hitting the hardware and it's quite noisy. In this case, it's relatively quiet, and I don't worry about the tags being damaged as there is minimal hardware on it. Highly recommend!
I am in love with our handsfree leash! During winter, I can keep my hands tucked in my pockets for warmth without worrying about losing my dog; or as I mentioned in our title, I have hands to pick up poop or frequently use my phone to film and fawn over how cute my dog is (who isn't though?). I use this leash regularly, it's versatile, and easy to use (our favourite way to use it is over the shoulder). Not only that, I find the quality amazing, and the hardware is secure, giving me peace of mind that my dog will indeed stay attached to me while adventuring on trails or during our urban travels. This leash has been dragged through mud, rocks and trees, it's been stepped on, used to as a tie out and it still maintains its vibrant colour. I would highly recommend!
Before I got my first Summit Seeker leash from North Tail Inc., I was convinced my dog only needed one leash. Just something to get the job done, right?
Well, I was wrong—and in the best possible way.
The moment I tried it, I was blown away by the quality. The rope is incredibly durable but still lightweight, with just the right amount of give. The carabiner is super secure, and the handle is comfortable even on longer hikes. You can tell this thing is built for real adventures.
After that first leash, I couldn’t help myself. I now have more colors than a rainbow and zero regrets. They’re that good. I coordinate leashes with my mood, my outfit, even my dog’s energy level. Going on a casual city stroll? Blue. Heading into the wilds for adventure? Earthy tones. Feeling spicy? Bright colors.
If you’re going to have a collection, make it something that actually adds joy to your everyday. A leash this good turns every walk into an experience.
Highly recommend giving yourself permission to develop this kind of positive addiction. Your dog will thank you—and so will your hands.
I recently received the rope slip collar from Northtail Inc. for my German Shepherd, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I took it out of the package, I could tell this collar was built with quality in mind.
Design & Appearance:
First and foremost, the collar looks fantastic. The braided rope design gives it a sleek, modern aesthetic while still looking rugged and outdoorsy. It complements my German Shepherd’s coat beautifully and gives off a professional, polished look whether we’re out for a casual walk or heading out on a hike. The metal hardware is minimal yet solid, with a subtle branding touch that adds to the high-end feel.
Build Quality:
This collar is made from thick, durable rope that feels strong enough to handle even the most powerful pullers — which is saying something if you’ve ever walked a determined GSD. The stitching and finishing are top-notch, with no loose ends or fraying. After weeks of daily use, it still looks brand new.
Comfort:
My German Shepherd is comfortable wearing it, and I like that there’s no bulky buckle or excessive hardware digging into her neck. It stays lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for longer walks or even hikes.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, the Northtail Inc. rope slip collar is a fantastic choice if you want something that’s both functional and stylish. It’s especially well-suited for medium to large breeds like German Shepherds who need reliable equipment for training or structured walks. I’ve received multiple compliments on it, and more importantly, it performs exactly as I’d hoped. Highly recommended!
