Surprisingly, my coworkers and friends loved the ones I made for my dogs and want me to make them some. I finished the leash by threading the ending crown knots into the weave after I turned it back on itself. Then I used the whipping method you used to add some extra strength to it. Do you think this is enough? I burn the ends. One of my coworkers that wants a leash is wondering if it is strong enough for her dog because apparently she's not good at walking him and pulls alot. Is there a way other than what I described to make sure the hand loop doesn't come undone or do you think I've done it good enough?
