Golden Unleashed BioThane® Training Lead Achieves The Dog Trainer School Recommended Product Status
We're delighted to announce that the Golden Unleashed BioThane® Double-ended Multifunctional Training Lead has officially been awarded The Dog Trainer School (TDTS) Recommended Product status following independent testing by our community of professional dog trainers.
The lead achieved an impressive 96.8% overall recommendation score, comfortably exceeding the 80% threshold required to become a TDTS Recommended Product.
Independently Tested by Professional Dog Trainers
Over a three-week period, 31 dog professionals put the Golden Unleashed Training Lead through its paces in real-life situations.
Rather than being tested in a controlled environment, the leads were used exactly as they would be by trainers and dog owners every day—during training sessions, client appointments, classes, everyday walks and adventures with their own dogs.
The lead was trialled on a huge variety of dogs, from tiny toy breeds through to large, powerful dogs, puppies, adolescent dogs and reactive dogs.
What Did Testers Think?
Feedback throughout the trial was overwhelmingly positive.
Trainers consistently praised the lead for its:
Excellent build quality
Soft, comfortable feel in the hand
Versatile adjustable design
Multiple lead configurations
Easy-to-clean BioThane® material
Stylish appearance and wide range of colours
Many commented that the adjustable D-ring and multiple attachment options made it one of the most versatile leads they had used, allowing it to adapt easily for different training exercises and everyday walking.
Several trainers also highlighted how lightweight the lead felt despite its strength and durability, making it suitable for both small and large breeds.
A Lead Trainers Would Recommend
One of the most important questions we ask during every TDTS Recommended trial is whether trainers would confidently recommend the product to their own clients.
The answer was a resounding yes.
Many testers commented that they would continue using the lead themselves and recommend it professionally.
One tester said:
"This has quickly become my go-to lead – there's a way to use it in every scenario."
Another commented:
"We've been testing the Golden Unleashed lead with a wide range of dogs, from young puppies through to reactive dogs, and it's been a real hit with both handlers and dogs."
Our Verdict
The Golden Unleashed BioThane® Double-ended Multifunctional Training Lead impressed our testers with its thoughtful design, versatility and premium quality.
It proved equally at home during everyday walks, professional training sessions and client work, making it a valuable addition to any dog trainer's kit.
Congratulations to the team at Golden Unleashed on achieving The Dog Trainer School Recommended Product status.
