Close Quarters Control (CQC) Leash
Description
The CQC (Close Quarters Control) Leash is a custom short-handle BioThane® traffic lead designed for handlers who need fast, confident control in tight spaces. Built for working dogs, large breeds, or any scenario that demands precision, the CQC delivers strength, responsiveness, and reliability.
Handcrafted from premium waterproof BioThane®, it’s odor-proof, flexible, and wipes clean after every use.
