About us

Training Trousers is a web shop selling dog leads & collars, which was created by Sarah Gleave in October 2006. I wanted to subsidise my income doing something that was dog related. I already ran a small, busy rescue centre rescuing English Springer Spaniels and ran dog training classes in the Lincoln area.

In January 2008 I took in my last Springer as the strain was taking its toll on me. I needed to do something that was easy and home based and the Training Trousers web shop was starting to take off really well.

In August 2008, I was amazed at the takings, so I knew that the future in dog leads and collars was the one for me.

In a nutshell, I make anything with webbing from 12mm to 50mm. If there is a colour not listed, there is a fair chance we will be able to source it, please ask or even send a sample of the colour you are looking for. I also have a saddler who does all my leather work for me. He is brilliant and his stitching is perfect. Training Trousers stands out from other dog leads and collar makers because we are essentially a bespoke company, with a very flexible attitude to colours and designs.

Nothing is pre made, even the popular long lines, because you have a choice of length, colour and fittings. People sometimes like to ring me to describe what they would like making and ask for advice on the best product for their dog.

So if you have found it difficult to get the right lead, collar, harness, or head collar for your dog, why not try Training Trousers? Our guarantee is fair, please chat to me in the unlikely event of you being unhappy with your order
