Everyone needs a simple or basic leash in their dog's wardrobe. And by that, we don't mean the color, material, or pattern. Basic leashes are those that are relatively short, about a meter long, and are perfect for short walks. You can find them in leather or nylon, and in all colors you can imagine. Leather basic leashes are an essential accessory that will accompany you for years. While basic nylon leashes, many of them lined with printed cotton fabrics, will add a touch of color to your walks.
