Lazy man's paracord dog leash 

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL TUTORIAL! SLOW AND DETAILED FROM THE MEASUREMENT TO BRAIDING AND CONNECTING THE CORD. VERY HELPFUL FOR BEGINNERS LIKE ME. THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! GOD BLESS YOU.🙏 New subscriber here. 😊

My lazy man's dog leash is sitting here for weeks now unfinished because I can't get the finish knot. no matter how many times I stop and start the video I can't get it right. Grrr.

Brother, your repetitive instructions, make this a perfect tutorial, so many people just show you once or twice, covering the rope with their fingers. Please continue your repetitive direction and camera work. You have taught me perfectly, keep up the great work my friend!! Greetings from the Northeast

Sir, big fan of your vids. I REALLY appreciate that you showed how to tighten and a super easy turks head finish! I have been struggling with that. Tango Alpha Lima!

You have the best teaching style. Slow enough to follow and not get confused and not too many words and repetition rather than saying " just keep doing that " You reind us each time what to do. Thanks for loving your art and sharing it with us. Love and Peace, Catherine

Great tutorial. I just made a 12' long leash doing this. I used 45' long lengths of paracord in case anyone is curious. Also I skipped the decorative knots to get the max length I just spliced the ends back through the leash for about 6 turns and melted the ends.

How much paracord i need for 1,2 meters leash ?

Great tutorial! Anyone could make this after watching your tutorial!

Wouldn’t it be easier to temporarily tape the ends of your cords together before starting the leash?

It's about time someone named something after me!😁

Right that's my next hobby sorted! Best instructional video I've seen.

This is my favorite braid for a dog leash. It's fast and makes a leash with a circular cross-section that's large enough to grip easily. I love the turk's head finishing knot too. That makes it easy to feel when the end of the leash is near when it's slipping through your hand. I walk shelter dogs as a volunteer and I've made four leashes of various lengths based on the instructions in this excellent video. I use a Petzl Ange S carabiner for attaching the leash to a collar or for clipping to the leash body to make a slip-collar. Thanks Mark! Great job!

Excellent video! I will be getting a service dog about a year from now and creating his first working leash would be fantastic. What is that tool you're using for the splicing? I really want one for my projects. Thankyou for taking the time to do these tutorials, it makes my life much easier! 😊

Whew. done. It took me the better part of 2 days but I did it. Thanks for the great video. (The knot at the top is the knot from h*ll. )

Thank you. And do not worry about blocking the trash mouths. They need to learn some manners. Tnx again!

About to try this out, your tutorial is very clear and easy to follow. I've been looking for a leash pattern that will hold big dogs securely and this seems perfect. The leash looks pretty which is even better. Thank you so much! Subbed to your channel after watching this 😃

What size of paracord are you using? 1/4" or 1/8"

This is a great tutorial.......not so fast and with clear colors...this is now easy to do...thank you so much

This is the clearest tutorial I’ve ever come across - thank you so much!

Made it with just one change, I added 3 D-rings to hang a poop bag, poop bag dispenser, and flashlight. Thank you.

It would be nice to have a follow up on how to do a secure knot at the end without making a loop

How long should the rope be and when it’s finished how long is the leash

This is so awesome. I truly appreciate your method of teaching. You have helped me a lot. Thank you very much.

Thank you for showing it slowly and with patience and first of all: without video cuts! :)

your video tutorials are so calm and easy to follow... thank you you have just made me thirty bucks

Hello. Can I ask you, how much meters I need for 130cm and for 180cm leash? Thank you and have a nice day.

Do you strip the inner part of the cord before starting?

Thanks so much for this tutorial, I made a leash for some friends in their favourite AFL team’s colours and it looks so great - it will be a fantastic present to give them, thanks again :)

How would you turn this design into a collar?

Thank you for this, very detailed and easy to follow. What is the tool that you use at the end called? ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Folks, sorry to ask a dull question, but I'm new in this area....what thickness of cord will be best for this kind of work? I'll guess it will be 3mm? Thx for reply. Roger

Nice! Does this leash offer any amount of elasticity or does it get progressively tighter and more rigid each time the dog darts forward or pulls hard on it? Is the elasticity of the leash down to the type of cord used? or down to the weaving pattern as well?

Thank you very much. I made a twenty feets long leash for my dog with your tutoriel. It was difficult for the last rod but it was finally a success!!

I think I'll make this, but with two snap hooks on each end and rings in the leash at several distances, so I can adjust the length of the leash. This tutorial is very thorough and easy to follow. And I gotta say, your voice is very soothing to listen to!

im high af and cant stop laughing.... thank you for the instruction

I cant seem to get past the foot rope knot

Any tips on dealing with the other end of cord during the braiding? I spend way too much time untangling the loose ends.

Your videos are top notch. Very good, helpful. Thank You

This is a great tutorial! I had difficulty keeping track the footrope knot, and kept running the last pair incorrectly. To fix this I ended up wrapping each pair of cords with tape about 6" from the square knot, then taping the ends of each pair together and labeling them. I keep the square knot tight and only thread the tips of each pair through until I have all four pairs through.

Muchas gracias, excelente! Muy bien explicado, gracias, ví otros vídeos pero no explican bien pero tú explicaste muy bien y muy claro, gracias.

Anyone able to tell me how many ft I need for each length to make a 6ft leash

Muy bueno q lastima ni idea inglés me interesa saber lo q dice alguien me pasa alguien de esto trabajos traducido o q en español

Great work ! thank you for explaining slowly and clearly showing how its done.

Holy cats! That crown knot is an enterprise in frustration. Got it, though... time to braid.

Sweet lord almighty..bless your heart. I will no longer have to be admitted due to the fact I’m getting all tangled up 😅. Thank you yet again for awesome videos. Love watching and you make it look so easy. Top notch 👍👍👍

Excellent tutorial! Thank you. I have made a couple of leashes with this method for my dog and they are working out very well. I have a fairly good size dog. A Shepherd and lab mix.

Hi Mark, can you tell me where you get your paracord? If for any reason(s) you can't; can you tell me if it is just regular 550. I'm just curious because in the videos it appears satin-like which makes the colors really stand out. Also it appears a little beefier than the paracord 550 that I have. Thanks

merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo, j'ai tout compris grâce à vos explications très claires et je comprends tout ce que vous dites parce que vous parlez lentement, c'est mieux pour moi qui ne maîtrise pas l'anglais😊😊 Thank you!!

How much would you sell it after is finished, please respond I am your big fan

Supernice tutorial, right amount of info mathcing speed easyto follow. Only thing id say with the splicing for the handle, when u say add 1 maybe 2 more depending the dog. Well Paracord is such and extremly tough cord that can withstand allot of weight, so even a leash like thiswith 4 strands braided up into 1 big strand is enough for most sized dogs ( unless maybe u have some of those monstor size/weight dogs ) Altough that might even work. Its in anyways much tougher than leather and they use that for big and heavy dogs too so ...

What langth of each color cord would I nead to make a 9ft leash?👍

Hii...loved your video ❤️ I want to know can we make same pattern with cotton cords...if yes , than what changes will we have to make

Where did you get your Boatswains knife at? Not the Swiss Army knife. It would make tying some knots a lot easier.

What is the tool you are using at 15:21, when you weave the ends back through the cord? Looks like a pocket knife

Hi! I have a question about the final product! Since I prefer big leash for a better grip, can you tell me the measurement of the circumference of the leash? Thank you very much!

What is the size of the cord used in this video? Is it 2mm or 3mm? I just purchased a 6mm paracord which is WAY too wide to use!

I really enjoyed your tutorial. It is the first time I have EVER subscribed to anything on youtube. You move slowly and explain everything as you are doing it so that it is easy to follow. I am new to this and I can't wait to get started on making them. Thanks for the lesson!

Your explanation was very easy to follow thank you excellent

Can you show how to end this without the handle? It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I don't even have a dog

Could I use 16feet instead of 17???

Suppose that you wanted to end the braid at another snap hook or carabiner. What knot(s) would you use? Is there a tutorial for that already?

Is it normal that my braiding lines came up shorter than the ones in the center??

Anyone else get girlscout vibes from the crown knot?

The best I have seen so far. You have to appreciate the pace... well done and thank you.

Nice explanation of this video!! I would like to ask you to explain better monkeyfist keychain with DOUBLE GAUCHO KNOT-i am sick and tired trying to get it, because of turning it around while explaining, i loose sequence on the third round- thank you!

Love it! Where can I get a marlin spike like the one you are using in this video?

this is an easy way but theres another way for beginners is using raw cow leather an closing it with soap and a mallet

Thanks for another easy to follow video. I think I will try this as my next paracord project. Maybe with 4 colours. :-)

Love the way you teach, very patient and very clear on your instruction. No fast paced taking, love it. Love it.

Very nice video and very clear. The best I have seen. However you used one tug here. Can you describe how to make more?

Is it possible to make this pattern with 3 collors?

What's the diameter for this leash? I want to make this for my dog.

Each strand is 5.2 meters or between the two they join the 5.2 meters?

Best video on the subject that I have seen. Thank you.

I learned russian language watching this video

Thank you for you excellent way of showing us the way to do a finishing knot. You are amazing!

I am OK with beginning the braid. However, when I stop and come back I can not get back into the correct braiding routine. I can not tell which pair of strands go where. Can you offer some hints about how to start again after stopping or after making an error and discovering it is not the correct braid?

Simply brilliant 💕

Hi i will try to my dog that rope name what please tell me

what is the name of the weave?

This is a really great tutorial!!! Thank you so much!

Thank you for this. Going to give it a go tomorrow.

J e vous dis BRAVO !

Could you use this tutorial to make a lanyard ?

Awesome!

Olá! Onde se encontra as medidas das cordas verde e azul?

I have been struggling with a similar knot but you have made it so much easier for me! Thank you!!!!

You're an excellent teacher!

Gracias por enseñar tantas técnicas amigo mio son tutoriales muy bien explicados y con instrucciones fáciles de seguir ojalá entendiera mejor el Ingles, pero con la dedicación que pones en cada detalle y la calidad del video asta el momento comprendo bien. Thanyou friend.

I’ve seen braids like this but there are 2 middle pieces? What would this braid be named

Thanks you,

what size paracord is used?

Does this work with 4 strands the same as 8?

This video is amazing, thank you!!

This tutorial was just amazing

👍👏✊👋👍!!!

If 17 feet of cord are for a 4ft long leash, how much for a 6ft long?

A great tutorial - thank you Mark ;-) x

Extremely good and detailed tutorial! Amazing job indeed.
