It was either make the City Leash or stop walking my dog
Hey, I'm Carl and that's Romeo, my co-founder. After a bike accident left me with serious wrist arthritis, walking Romeo went from a joy to a daily struggle. My hand ached holding a traditional leash, and after trying every useless hands-free lead on the market, I decided to build my own: the City Leash! A fully adjustable, body-worn, with ergonomic traffic grips for when you need control of an over excited dog. It changed everything for me, and I quickly realised it could do the same for dog owners everywhere.

I bought the matching lead for George’s new harness and it is the best quality lead I have come across. It is very comfortable to hold and extremely secure with added locking feature. George is super proud to be sporting the Madra logo. I would not hesitate to recommend Madra for it’s excellent design and unreal quality 💚
I have been looking a really good quality harness since I got George in 2024 and spent so much money buying different ones. I came across Madra on
Instagram and thought about buying one if only to add to the collection and I am so glad I did. The quality is unreal, very secure and it’s still lightweight and breathable for him. Very easy to put on and he’s happy out on his walks. Will definitely recommend to others and this won’t be my last purchase from Madra!! Top quality products and very fast delivery too 💚
Very good strong lead. Hardware is good and not flimsy. Extra handle is excellent. Collar is lovely and comfortable, the colour really pops and loads ask where I purchased
I really wanted to like this harness because it looks great, but unfortunately, it hasn't worked out.
Poor Durability: After only a week or two of use, the material is already fraying where two sections meet due to friction. It clearly won't last long.
Uncomfortable Fit: The design doesn't suit my Whippet's build. No matter how I adjust the straps, it's either too loose or, when tightened, a plastic buckle sits right behind his front leg joint and rubs uncomfortably against him.
It’s a stylish harness, but the poor durability and awkward fit mean I can’t recommend it.
My walks with my two dogs are just easier! I have one lady who pulls and another who is the gentleman! The harness is for the puller and has been a great addition to have them both on a city lead! Thank you 💚
Really good quality. Lovely details on the metal (stamped 'Madra' and logo in parts).
I have arthritis in my hands and would 100% recommend this.
Looks great too.
Love that it is Irish made and ethically produced.
Very well made! Comfortable to wear. She’s only 6 months but once she grows out of her current collar and harness I will be purchasing yours to match the lead
Really like the hands free traffic grip leash. Very strong and well made. I have a new rescue dog who loves to pull so this is helping. Carl was so accommodating when I was buying it too, great customer service. Will defo be getting more stuff in the future.
I bought the green hands free for a pal and his doggo. And The Scratch x Madra collab hands free for me and my dog, Finbar. AMAZING quality. Love it. Highly recommend this dog lead..Best on the market! Thanks Carl and Team, Niamh
Absolutely has taken a lot of stress out of my dog walks! I have a strong jack Russell puller and a chill Chihuahua. Got the hands free city leash for the JRT. First couple of walks, I would say we had about 75% calming on his pulling! A much easier walk all round. I can only see it getting better too! Definitely recommend
I have a new rescue who is learning to be on a lead and also is quite reactive but the comfort I have with this lead is making our walks so so much easier
Easy to get on our girl. Straps easy to adjust to her size. Our lead fitted perfectly with the harness and she is easier to control without any pressure to her neck.
Really needed a better lead when walking the dog (a very busy border collie) with the buggy! Treated myself to the Madra World city lead and it has helped so much! Nice and secure, love the colour, really like the grip and being able to push the buggy with both hands has been amazing!
