“We had been looking for a new leather show lead for our puppy with a comfort half check collar and struggled to find anything suitable off the peg at any price.
When we spoke to Sharon at Essenjay she confirmed that she could make us one to order. We were so impressed with the service and care we received we decided to order 4 leads in different colours for each of our show dogs.
Each dog was carefully measured for the exact fit, length of leash and size of hand loop. Nothing was too much trouble and the price was very reasonable.
When we got the leads a couple of weeks later we were blown away by the quality of materials and workmanship – we absolutely love them and they are so much better than our previous showleads.
We can’t thank you enough.”

I have used ESSENJAY leather leads for many years for my Show Dogs. Excellent quality that last and lasts. Can highly recommended this company for your dogs new leads and collars.
Marie Burns (July 2016)
Hi Sharon. The half-check collar and the show-set arrived a few minutes ago and they are lovely. That grey leather show-set is absolutely perfect (very posh) while the other collar is exactly what we need when we’re out walking. Very, very pleased.
Thank you and all the best

I just wanted to let you know that the All in one show lead arrived yesterday.
It is absolutely fabulous, I am so happy with it.
Wilma x (May 2018)
After someone recommended this company to me I decided to order a show collar/lead. As I am new to showing I felt I needed advice on what to buy as I bought one from another company but it was clearly too big for my boy. Brilliant service, Sharon was so helpful, I cant recommend them enough. Beautiful leather and quick delivery. I ordered it on Thursday tea time and it arrived the next day. Now bring on the shows. Thank you Sharon for all your help.
Julie Watson (April 2018)

Hi Sharon, the collar arrived today and it is a great fit – Opal looks really nice in it. It is beautifully made, and considering my not too perfect verbal details of the old secondhand collar, it is remarkable.
We are so pleased, and now her fur won’t get broken as it was with the old one. Thank you so much for your hard work, we are most grateful.
Best wishes,
Ellen and Frank Day (May 2017)
Hi Sharon

Thank you so much for sending me my half check set so quickly. I have a show tomorrow and thought about not going as I didn’t have a correct collar for my dog.
Your service us amazing.
Thanks again
Carolyn. (November 2016)
Hi Sharon,
Thank you so much for the lovely show collar and all your advice which led to you recommending this ‘all in one’ set.
I received the collar the next day as promised and the quality is fabulous which ensures I have full confidence she won’t slip out of it in the ring. It is our first show and so we are not sure what she is likely to do as this is a new experience for us all but if she does well I will of course update you.
I am not sure I could have chosen this collar without your advice and I will certainly recommend you to others who are looking as we have several in our puppy class who are looking at collars and showing.
Denise Anstey (October 2016)
Thank you very much for promptly sending the slip collar that I o
rdered last Sunday evening it is just what I needed for my dog.

The collar arrived safely here in France yesterday and it is wonderful! It is a lovely looking collar and the leather is beautifully soft, and already as supple as the tatty old one that it is replacing. We have one very proud Golden Retriever who is showing off her new collar to every other dog that she meets.
Thank you very much for the excellent service and ensuring such prompt delivery.
With thanks and best wishes,

Thank you so much for a service second to none and a super product which is reasonably priced.
– Pauline (August 2015)
I don’t buy leads from anyone else. From show collars and leads to heavier training leads for my Border Collies the quality has never been anything but excellent. Service second to none, both at the shows and by mail. I contacted Sharon on Tuesday 28th July, following the theft of most ofl my show equipment at Leeds Championship Show on the Sunday. Despite her travelling to set up at Paynton that week, two show collars posted on Wednesday, received on Thursday. Well done Sharon, see you at the next champ show to replace the rest.
– Gill Maxwell (Aug 2015) Durham
Very well crafted collar, beautiful leather, very soft. Thank you for the help, I would have ordered the wrong size had it not be for your specific direction.

Thank you again

Just to say I purchased a white lead with the kindness collar on the 8th May at the Nationals. It is absolutely pawfect for my little lady Connie (Boston Terrier). The lovely gentleman who advised me and was very patient in letting me try this before buying asked if I would pop back to let him know how we had done in our class but I never managed to see him and wanted to let him know my girl got the 3rd place in Junior Bitch and appeared to be much more settled in the new lead. Thankyou and I will be coming back to Essenjay in the future.

We not often write testimonials but felt we had to express our thanks. We were on holiday in St Ives and the collar on our Chocolate Labrador had grown in size due to the constant swimming in the sea. He had slipped his collar a couple of times and despite having another hole put in the leather, it was still too big. We decided to purchase a new collar and looked on the web and found ‘essenjay.’ We rang and ordered the collar and after measuring Bensons neck, we thought we had measured him correctly and ordered our half check collar. Because we were only a few minutes drive from their workshop, we called to pick up the collar and unfortunately our measurements were a centimetre out! Our holiday was coming to an end the next day but Sharon said she would make a new collar which we we could collect later that day. Service-excellent. Thank you from Nigel, Jill and of course, Benson

Hi Sharon Collar arrived today, extremely pleased with it, fits perfect, and lovely bit of workmanship, excellent value.
I shall recommend you to other members of the Old English Mastiff Association and will write to the club secretary, with a bit of luck she may put something in the next club book.
Its nice to know that we English can still make a quality product rather than have to put up with the rubbish that shops have for sale from China.
Best Wishes G
