Biothane tow lines

When it comes to the ideal equipment for dog owners, the BioThane® tracking leash is a real insider tip – or rather, a must-have! Whether for training, outdoor activities, or everyday life: this innovative leash impressively combines functionality, durability, and style.
In this article you will learn everything you need to know about the BioThane® tracking leash, why it differs from conventional tracking leashes and how to get the most out of it.

What is a Biothane training leash?

The Biothane long line is an evolution of the classic long line. It's made from a special material called Biothane, which has a polyester base and is coated with a protective plastic layer. This coating not only gives the line high tear resistance but also makes it waterproof, dirt-repellent, and extremely durable. The long line itself is a long leash that allows the dog greater freedom of movement without completely relinquishing control. The Biothane long line is an unbeatable tool, especially for recall training or off-leash walks in nature.

Why Biothane?

The advantages at a glance: Biothane is not just a trend, but a material that impresses with its properties. Here are the most important advantages:

Weatherproof and durable:
Unlike conventional tracking leashes made of nylon or leather, Biothane is completely water-repellent. It doesn't absorb water, doesn't become heavy, and remains light and flexible even in rain, snow, or mud.

Easy to clean:
After a walk in the woods or on muddy paths, simply wipe the Biothane training leash with a damp cloth. It's immediately ready for use again – no lengthy drying or complicated cleaning required. Biothane training leashes also don't develop unpleasant odors.

Tear resistance:
Thanks to its robust polyester base, the Biothane tracking leash can withstand even strong pulling loads. Even with strong and spirited dogs, you can rely on this leash.

Pleasant handling:
Biothane feels comfortable in the hand and has a slightly leather-like surface that offers a good grip. At the same time, it doesn't cut into the skin as easily as other materials.

Custom lengths and colors:
Biothane tracking leashes are available in many lengths – from 5 meters to 30 meters or more. They also come in a variety of colors, so you can find the perfect leash to suit your taste and needs.

Environmental friendliness:
Biothane is a sustainable material that contains no animal products. This makes the long line suitable for owners who prefer vegan products. Thanks to its high durability, you'll probably only need to order a BUMAS long line once. That's good for the environment :-)

Possible uses of the Biothane tracking leash

The Biothane tracking leash is a versatile tool that can be used in numerous situations. Here are some of the most popular uses:

Training and education:
A long line is indispensable, especially when training a reliable recall. Your dog can move and explore freely, yet remains under your control. This allows you to call him precisely and apply positive reinforcement when he returns to you.

Walks in nature:
Not all dogs are allowed or able to run free – be it due to hunting instincts, lack of training, or legal regulations. With the Biothane long line, you still give your four-legged friend the freedom to explore their surroundings.

Dog sports and outdoor activities:
Whether for mantrailing, agility, or other dog sports: the Biothane tracking leash offers both flexibility and safety. It also proves to be a practical companion when hiking or camping.

Water activities:
Thanks to its water resistance, the Biothane training leash is ideal for dogs that love to swim. It doesn't absorb water and remains lightweight, allowing your dog to romp around in the water without any hindrance.

Securing anxious or insecure dogs:
For dogs rescued from unsafe situations or those with anxiety issues, a long leash offers security for both dog and owner. It prevents the dog from running off uncontrollably while still giving it the freedom to explore its surroundings.

What you should consider when buying a Biothane training leash

To find the perfect Biothane training leash for you and your dog, you should pay attention to the following criteria:

Length:

The correct length depends on what you want to use the long line for.

5 to 10 meters: Ideal for training or walks in urban areas.

10 to 15 meters: Perfect for rural environments or moderate free-roaming.

20 meters or more: For dogs that need plenty of room to move around, e.g., during mantrailing.

Width:

The width of the leash should be appropriate for the size and strength of your dog.

9 mm: For small dogs or puppies.

13 mm: For medium-sized dogs.

16 mm: For large and strong dogs.

Color:

Besides the visual aspect, visibility also plays a role. Bright colors like neon orange or yellow are particularly visible and suitable for walks in bad weather or at dusk.

With or without a wrist strap

Some Biothane tracking leashes come with a hand loop, others don't. A hand loop can be handy if you need to hold the leash briefly. However, for training or mantrailing, many trainers recommend leashes without a loop, as they are less likely to get caught on things.

Processing and materials

Care and cleaning of your Biothane tracking leash

Another major advantage of Biothane is its easy maintenance. Here are a few tips:

Wipe the line with a damp cloth to remove dirt and moisture.

For heavy soiling: Use mild, pH-neutral soap and warm water. Then simply dry with a towel.

No machine cleaning: Biothane should not be cleaned in the washing machine, as this could damage the sheathing.
