Description
The Tactical Deployment Lead (TDL) Tether is designed to pair with our Tactical Deployment Lead (TDL) Shackle as quick-release, tactical dog leash. The bungee-free tether keeps the dog from receiving unintentional feedback and allows the handler to provide hands-free corrections when necessary.
Stainless Swivel Snap
Our custom standard swivel snap is black coated stainless steel. The round slot design allows for an additional 180 degrees of movement—this means the lead can articulate on a double axis to further reduce tangles or accidental un-clippings.
Frog-Style Clip
Made of aluminum, this is our lightest weight attachment option and is inherently rustproof. This attachment option uses redundant release tabs that must be depressed simultaneously to open the clip. The design virtually eliminates the possibility of cross-loading and accidental unclippings.
Upgrade: Kong Frog with Swivel
This climbing rated hardware uses a redundant release mechanism, meaning both release tabs have to be depressed simultaneously to open—this prevents accidental unclipping of the lead. An in-line swivel is added to help prevent tangles.
1.5" Clip-In Point
This Daisy Chain style clip-in point allows for a standard climbing carabiner to be used as a secondary clip-in option.
Heavy Gauge Stainless O-Ring
The TDL tether features a black coated stainless steel ring used to clip in the TDL Shackle. The ring can also be used to clip in a carabiner or can be used to clip in another lead (for additional length).
Upgrade: Embroidery
A personalized name can be added with embroidery.

Great item
I feel more confident with Modern Icon gears. I trust the Kong frog attachment. I only use one leash now on walk. I complemented with a CMC belt, Edelrid swivel, and frog connector or frog 360 using the enclosed O ring. I use a traffic lead to the collar and one at the O ring (without and with kong frog resp.).
Wonderful piece of gear!
I ordered the TDL Tether with a custom second snap instead of D-ring to attach to my existing belt and it’s quickly become my go-to for hands free use. I absolutely love it and I’m thankful Modern Icon was able to accommodate my custom request.
TDL Tether Review.
This is a great product. I use it for use on my personal dog in downtown settings while still having the option to send my dog on the fly for a bite(if need be). As well as use it at work for training dogs in longer walks in just getting used to walking with you and looking for you in surprise turns. Would recommend!
Tether
Modern Icon did a great job on this tether, it is great for taking my boy into town or busy areas. It helps to keep him close and my hands free. They were also very accommodating with making a custom change.
