Keep your dog safely by your side with the Mendota Traffic Leash — ½-inch braided rope built for instant, close-quarters control in busy streets, vet lobbies, and crowded trails.
Close-Quarters Control
At just 16 inches (1.5 ft), this short lead keeps your dog right at your knee, preventing tangles and sudden lunges.
Built for Durability
Waterproof, color-fast polypropylene rope is hand-spliced in St. Paul, Minnesota and reinforced with oil-tanned leather plus your choice of brass, satin-nickel, or black snap hardware—guaranteed for your dog’s lifetime.
Soft “Broken-In” Feel
The ½-inch braid is supple from day one—no hand burn, even during quick corrections.

Coils small enough to stash in a jacket pocket or clip to a belt loop when you swap back to a long line.

FAQ
Why use a traffic lead instead of shortening my regular leash?
A dedicated 16-inch lead eliminates bulky loops, reduces slack that can snag, and gives more precise control.
Is the rope waterproof?
Yes—polypropylene fibers resist water, mold, and mildew, so the leash stays light and dries quickly.
Will the colors fade with sun or rain?
No—the rope is UV-resistant and color-fast to stay vibrant season after season.
