Stop or Reduce Lead Pulling
For dogs that tend to pull, the Figure of 8 Anti-Pull Lead changes the game. Its strategic design discourages pulling behaviour, promoting a relaxed walking experience. Enjoy peaceful walks free from the strain often associated with traditional leads..
Comparing to the Halti
Wondering how the Figure of 8 Lead compares to the Halti? Both aim to deter leash pulling, yet they feature distinct designs.
Stress-Free Walks
Achieving a relaxed walk with your dog is a common goal, but it often feels elusive. Many owners turn to affordable solutions, yet pulling often stems from improper training. If your dog tugs persistently, address this behaviour effectively.
What Makes Our Figure of 8 Lead Unique?
The Figure of 8 Slip Lead features two loops, creating its signature shape. It guides from the top of the head, positioning comfortably between your dog’s ears and preventing twisting. While your dog may still pull, the calming influence of the figure-eight structure can significantly reduce, or even eliminate, leash pulling.
Optimising Your Experience
Head collars and halters serve as training aids for temporary use during your dog’s training journey. We recommend consulting a dog trainer or behaviourist who employs positive, reward-based methods. While effective for many dogs, some may resist wearing a headcollar.
Fitting & Usage Made Easy
Using the Figure of 8 Head Collar Lead is simple. Place the head section on a flat surface, ensuring the webbing lies smoothly on your dog’s coat. Once fitted, check that the webbing is comfortable and doesn’t disrupt your dog’s lips, hair, or ears. Watch our video below.

Walking 10 month Working Cocker was a tug of war, received the figure of 8 and life is so much better for him and me I now have a smile on my face.
Wonderful Product and will recommend.

Morning Moe, thanks for this, I’ve replied to your email this morning.
Jan Amos –
My young collie is very strong and because she was pulling so hard it aggravated the arthritis in my elbow which became painful and swollen
At my wits end and having seen the reviews for this I decided that it was worth a try and ordered one. It’s been miraculous, whilst not cheap it is worth every penny, I can now walk a well behaved dog and it’s a pleasure not a trial. Thank you Sarah.

After reading the reviews i was a little sceptical the figure 8 lead could produce such profound results across such a cross section of big & small dogs. Boy was i wrong!! We have a 17 week working cocker pup who is all muscle and pulls worse then i can recall our German Shepherd ever doing!! The figure 8 lead has dramatically reduced his pulling and along with other reviews he isn’t mega keen on having it on at times but it has revolutionised our walking experience. Excellent british made product that i will recommend to anyone that asks!

We have a 7 month old Springer Spaniel pup, as you can imagine, very boisterous but loads of fun. However when it came to walking him as he has got older, his pulling takes us off our feet.
But not anymore, not since I purchased the “Figure 8 Dog Lead”, this is an absolute game changer.
Easy to put on with comfy material against your dogs face and head, dont get me wrong he did try and scrape it off his nose the first few times but with perseverance he now walks with his head held high and no pulling. Dont get me wrong, he is still a mad pup, so he does dive about for a leaf in the wind now and again.
Walking the dog is now effortless, I could hold the lead with one finger and my five year old grandson loves being able to join in.
If you have a dog that pulls, please consider purchasing one of these leads, I’m sure you will have the same positive outcome as we have.
I have already passed on details of your leads to friends, please keep up the great work

I was looking forward to your review Jason after our telephone conversation. I was blown away by your kindness of not only taking the time to call me with praise but of your success with the figure 8 dog lead. May you have many more walks like this and also that anyone reading your review (and that of others) will use one of my leads and see the benefits you have too. I should add that Jason purchased the basic lead and not any of the more expensive headcollars. Thanks again, Jason ~ Sarah

I recently bought a figure of eight lead for my puppy. I am really pleased with it. The best of its kind I have come across. It is easy to fit on my active, wriggly puppy.
The quality of the lead is first class and good value for money. The service provided by Sarah was excellent, prompt and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending the figure of eight lead and Sarah’s service.
Helen Fry –
Thank you so much for your help last night when I struggled to get the website to cooperate. Nothing was too much trouble… The Figure8 arrived stupidly fast and is a game changer for our stubborn girl. She called me a few rude names for 5 minutes, and was walking on a loose lead straight afterwards. Excellent as I had my granddaughter in the pram too.
It’s a pleasure to do business with you, and the product is excellent.

Hi,
Love the lead, it is light, doesn’t mark the muzzle like rope figure of eights. Good stitch work. Nice work, thanks.

Love the figure 8, its been an absolute god send whilst training my large and very strong Belgian Malinois to walk loose lead. due to his nature of being high drive and head strong its been hard to walk him (due to having a back injury) So i decided to buy the Figure 8 fro Megheath and within a few days it was here. the difference was immediate and i was able to walk him with no stress to me or him. plus the price is great too. highly recommended.
Sasha W –
Ordered one of these Wednesday night and it arrived by Friday morning! Good length in the lead, not too long but enough that my dog can sniff around a bit of desired! Comfortable material, my dog doesn’t object to it (he has been trained to accept muzzles and headcollar) due to the soft material and it comes in bright colours! Very pleased.
Anna Roberts –
It’s like walking a different dog, using the figure 8 head collar need another for my dog.

We are more than pleased with the new lead and the control it has given us, Dexter is less than convinced!
Dave Allen –
Our 10month old Great Dane Tyson is too friendly, and as soon as he sees another dog or person
he pulls like crazy. We tried several leads on him with no effect, and finally got a figure of 8 to try.
This worked better but was too short, so I still ended up either running at 40mph or on my face in the mud.
I searched the internet but all the leads were the same length. Finally I spotted the MegHeath Dogleads website and contacted Sarah. What a find.
The lead arrived very quickly and was superbly made and of great quality.
I have just ordered my second figure of 8 lead and will order again in the future.
Very highly recommended.
