SuperGrip . . . Because you have that dog who almost overpowers your ability to hang on!

If you have a large dog who pulls extremely hard, or if your hand strength is challenged by arthritis or some other issue, then Supergrip may be the leash for you. It is relatively thick, soft, and pliable. The strength is outstanding, between 500 and 750 pounds (depending on width), but where it excels is grip! Super grip does not slide through your hands, even when it’s wet. This is because of several factors:

  • The surface is textured with hundreds of tiny bumps which give you more surface area to hold onto.

  • Supergrip is far thicker than regular Biothane, which means that your hands don’t have to close as tightly.

  • Because SuperGrip is physically softer, it conforms to the shape of your hands and fingers allowing more contact, and thereby better grip.

One customer, a rather small-ish woman with a rather huge Bloodhound, tells me that her 15' Supergrip line makes a big, big difference in her ability to hang onto her hound as he attempts to drag her along.

Schutzhund folks use Supergrip for agitation leashes because, when the dog lunges, you can still hang on. That's important. The helpers tend think so too.

Most recently, I have had clients in other dog sports (nose work comes to mind) who like fact that the super grip allows them to continue to participate in these sports long after their arthritic hands might otherwise have forced them to retire from the ring.

Supergrip is not for every situation or for every dog and handler. Before you buy it, I feel that there are 2 issues to consider:

  1. Weight - It is heavier than the normal Biothane. Because of that, I do not recommend it for lines over 15' (personal preference).

  2. Grip - It has such great grip that it does not slide over, under, or around trees, posts, rocks and other items along your path. This is not a problem in a short lead, but it can be an issue in a longer line, especially outdoors in congested areas or woods and scrub.
