The harness and 2 leads that I bought…
The harness and 2 leads that I bought last week are really good. Seem good quality, strong and comfortable to hold. I struggled a bit with adjusting the harness size and I'm still unsure what 'a snug fit' means. Hence a picture or link to a fitting video would be really useful if you could include it with purchases.

Hi Imogen, fair comment. So, snug basically means as tight as it needs to be to be safe, but not too tight that it is uncomfortable for your dog. Snug is a pretty common word in the UK but I take on board an explanation would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks Margaret, it's one of the things I class as important. You should be able to easily ask questions and get a prompt and honest reply. Many thanks for taking the time to review us.
Highly recommend
Great service and high quality products! The leads I ordered were shipped quickly, despite being ordered very close to Christmas when shipping can be delayed. The flat-woven leads themselves are very well made and suit my dog much better than the round alternatives most stores stock.

Black Luxury Figure of Eight Lead
Thank you for supplying this comfy strong effective lead.
I have a young 16month old bull cross bread who is very well behaved on and off lead but the moments where she sees her friends across the road to say hello is where I need the lead to work for me other wise in her enthusiasm I used to go flying too! I had tried other equipment on her and then a friend gave me a thinner one of these which I found worked. The only thing that has worked when I had her in one hand and my lurcher in the other. So, I decided she needed a softer but more robust one and this not only is softer for her but she is even more easy to control. It also looks lovely on her too.
Thank you I am very pleased with it and it gives me that comfort to know she's secure on it. 5 stars!

Luxury head collars
Approximately 8 years ago I ordered two luxury head collars from Sarah and to this day I'm still using them although a little tatty around the edges now. I've spent forever trying to find the person that made me them in order to replace them as i refused to walk my dogs in anything but. I eventually came across Sarahs page again and she was amazed at how long they have lasted but agreed it was time for some new ones. A few days later they've arrived and I'm over the moon. ( Just about to order again for another of my dogs )Amazing price for a top quality product that works like a dream . How many head collars last 8 years?

Gentle leader success with German shepherd
Sarah was helpful in advising which lead was best for our wilful German shepherd. We have tried many leads and head harnesses - including K9 bridle, dogmatic and halti- all of which our dog hated and would lie on the road pawing at her face. The gentle leader is not perfect - it does ride up a little - but it is so far ahead of any alternative I would give it five stars. It is also lighter so less noticeable for the dog. We got the matching lead which is so light but strong. Our dog is much happier.

Hi Sarah, this is great feedback and also your comment (I think you meant the Simple Leader) can be rectified in the following way:
~ Make sure the head collar is tight enough. By this I don't mean very tight, but snug and by no means loose, then use the top ring.
It really all depends on the 2 essential variables, you and the dog. If we can get the first one right, the second will follow. It also depends on whether your dog is persistent enough to attempt pulling still, this means that a loose head collar won't work in the way it should.
Happy to discuss if you need to.

Fourth lead purchased
Have purchased 3 long leads of varying lengths in the last few months so I know the quality was without question. My latest was a simple 1.5 m with padded hand grip and a swivel carabiner lock, as usual wonderful product.

Excellent collar and lead set
Ordered a custom made collar with a matching lead set. I’m very particular and picky in what I want and how I wanted it and Sarah made the perfect collar and lead set! I’m super happy with it and would 100% recommend, if you have a specific requirement.. let her know!

The best halty for controlling a strong dog …
Tried quite a few halties that our dog hated wearing. She pulled so much that the nose bit left indentations. The Meg K9 halty is a soft and much more humane, she still pulls, but is much easier to control and is quite happy to wear it. A little expensive but worth it as it's custom made. Thank you, a very happy owner 😁

Hi Sue, thank you so much for such a wonderful review. We like to say our products are ‘luxury without apology’ — and with Meg K9 you’re getting 20 years of hands-on experience making leads here in the UK, rather than something mass-produced overseas. I’ll happily take the compliment, and I’m really pleased you’re seeing the benefits of one of my products.
