Dog Leash Shortener Grip

thingiverse

This is a handle that makes walking your dog easier by allowing you to shorten the leash and keep control without having to buy multiple leashes of different lengths. Young dogs need short leashes to stay close and not pull on the lead, but holding a rope tightly with knots becomes uncomfortable and limits your control. A quick solution to this problem is to create a handle that makes walking more enjoyable. To use this handle, fold the leash over, thread it through the center, and out one of the side openings at the top, then loop it around the outside to keep it in place. This shifts the tension point to the back of your hand, making it easy to hold the leash loosely but regaining control quickly if needed. I used tree supports that worked perfectly and kept the surface smooth to prevent wear on the leash where it loops around the handle. You'll likely need supports to print this, and it's designed for rope-style leashes like the one in the picture. If you're using a flat-style leash, you can probably scale down the design by 15-20%.
