Looking for the best dog gear of 2026? These 5 Biothane essentials are built for training, adventure, and everyday use — waterproof, durable, easy to clean, and designed to keep up with real dogs and real life.

Bringing home a new puppy is one of the most exciting moments for any dog owner — full of joy, cuddles, tiny victories, and plenty of adorable chaos. And while the pet store aisles are packed with hundreds of products claiming to be “essential,” it can be hard to know what you actually need.

Whether your GSD is a working dog, an adventure partner, a reactive rescue, or a family companion with big feelings, the leash you choose plays a huge role in communication, safety, training, and daily structure.

Choosing the right leash material affects durability, safety, weather performance, and how well your gear holds up in real-world conditions. While many dog owners default to nylon, rope, or leather, very few materials thrive in tough environments like the Pacific Northwest. That’s why trainers, hikers, rescuers, and working-dog handlers rely on BioThane® — a modern, waterproof material known for its strength, reliability, and ease of use. Here are the top 5 reasons BioThane® is the best leash material for dogs.

BioThane® is durable, waterproof, and nearly maintenance-free — but even the toughest gear needs occasional cleaning. The good news? It’s incredibly easy. This guide shows you how to clean, sanitize, and deodorize your BioThane leashes, collars, and long lines, including how to tackle mud, mold, beach sand, and even stubborn PNW red clay.
