Dog leashes can be a complicated purchase for several reasons. It can be uncomfortable for your dog, it can allow your dog to pull or it may not be reliable when it is needed the most. Having an American-made dog leash is better for the environment and it can have a positive impact on product quality. In this article, I will be looking at dog leashes made in the USA.
Brands That Sell Dog Leashes Made in America (The Short Answer)
After lots of research, I found five different companies that manufacture dog leashes in America. These five companies are Signature K9, Cycle Dog, Found My Animal, Tactipup, and Brilliant K9.
Signature K9
Signature K9 was founded by Matt Akenhead. Matt has won 40 titles with eight different dogs in dog competitions. Signature K9 sells a wide range of tested products. Matt’s business produces high-quality and durable equipment for dog handlers and trainers in the military and police.
All of Signature K9’s leashes are American-made. Using high-quality leather suitable for dog training, some of the products are crafted by Amish craftsmen in America.

Cycle Dog
Cycle Dog is a female-owned business that was founded in 2009. It is a small dedicated team of 30 makers and 10 dogs. Every leash and other dog product is manufactured using only high-quality, earth-friendly materials. Each order is specifically made for that customer. Cycle Dog has prevented millions of tubes and bottles from ending up in landfills across America. Dog testers are used throughout the manufacturing process in order to create superior products that dogs love.
Cycle Dog manufactures all of its products in Portland, Oregon. The owners would rather spend money on locally sourced materials and local job opportunities than outsource for both of these. With highly skilled workers and local and natural materials, Cycle Dog is 100% USA-made.
