Thin Rope Slip Lead - Soft Rope Slip Lead for Dogs - Hand Spliced 9mm Rope - Handmade in England

Slip lead

Can't believe the control this has given me with my pulling and sometimes reactive basset x beagle. Was recommended by my trainer from Wags n Woofs and absolutely thrilled with results.

Depends on your use

This is a well made slip lead, but whether you will like it or not depends on your use. If you keep it high on the dog’s head, and tight behind their ears, it will probably be quite good. It’s soft in your hands and surely soft around the dog’s head also. The stopper seems really sturdy. If you like to leave the lead very loose around the dog’s neck and chest, pulling with a flick when needing to direct your dog, it isn’t so good. The rope and fittings are quite lightweight so it doesn’t slip back down so easily, staying too close at the neck. It has a spring to it, which makes a clear flick difficult - personally I prefer a non springy lead but others may prefer the springiness. Also the light rope and coils sometimes result in it getting caught in my dog’s fur - she’s a Labrador. It might be fine if you have a totally reliable old dog and just want something gentle and soft and easy to shove in your pocket. But for training purposes, if you use the loose round the neck method, a stiffer and smoother lead would be better.

Great leads and made in UK

Been looking for soft cotton leads for a long time and was so pleased to find them and in different lengths and widths! Thank you
