Customer Testimonials
Nothing is more important than customer service. You want a product that meets your needs in the show ring and at home - we understand because we want the same thing. When you buy a lead or collar from Leashes by Design, you are buying it from someone who shows and trains dogs and understands what is needed in the ring and at home.
We love working with our customers to design a special leash - from beads and braided buttons to a certain color combination. Our repeat customers will tell you how much they love our products - if they didn't love them, they'd go somewhere else! We also do not advertise, nor do we do booths at dog shows. The majority of our sales comes from customer referrals.
If you have a special request for your dog, feel free to call or e-mail us and we will do everything we can to ensure that you get the perfect gear for your dog.
Here are just some of our recent customers' wonderful comments about their new Leashes by Design creations.

"How do you manage to out do yourself? When I opened your package I was so tickled. You have truly outdone yourself on this one! It is absolutely gorgeous. The feel, the look, the bead work is just unbelievable. I know there was no way I could have expressed to you how I had visualized it, because YOU did a far better job than what my puny imagination could have come up with. Thank you so very much.
Thank you again for all of your beautiful work. The lead is stunning. I don't know how your work can get better, but you manage to take a customers' simple request and turn it into a beautiful work of art. Thank you for having the vision that I obviously lack.
Sincerely,
Kato, Bumble and BEE"

"Thank you again and I look forward to seeing more of your work on my dogs! I can think of many other leads I would love to have. The problem is, you can only use one lead at a time! You have a very special talent. Thank you for your attention to detail and beauty. You have a very keen eye for color, beauty and balance."

"Your work is far above others I‘ve dealt with for kangaroo. As you said, it is sturdy and very tightly braided. The snap is also nicely attached and rather incognito since my eyes go to the design and colors in the lead, including the bead set and pineapples. Those little embellishments really dress
up the whole look. I am just thrilled! It is gorgeous!"
