Features
Originated in England, the Slip Lead is a time tested
traditional training tool. It is a Leash & Collar As One in one
easy to use package.
Slip
Leads are available in a variety of colors with Realtree® Camo leather
and Non-Camo leather as well.
Our
sample was an attractive Polypropylene Cordage in a sort of a green
camo mix with Realtree® Hardwoods leather. This type of Polypropylene
Cordage is beneficial for several reasons:
Furthermore,
a closer inspection has revealed other features that may not seem crucial,
but they add durability and value to this clever product. Unlike other
similar product on the market Sam's Dog Hut Slip Lead
has:
-
leather
from top-quality cowhides
-
the
leather tabs are sewn + glued (with a special glue) ensuring that
they won't fall apart or come loose
-
larger
handles resulting in less stress and comfort even when using heavy
gloves
-
folded
Bone-Shaped® adjustable camo leather neck slider
-

to their size - a 4 footer is a 4 footer, a 6 footer is a true 6
footer and not a few inches short.
FIELD
TEST: How did it work for us
We tested the Slip Lead on "Toby" our
purebred yearling Yellow Labrador Retriever. The Slip Lead
.... slips on the neck of the dog easily and can be quickly adjusted
for maximum collar size by sliding the adjustable Folded Bone-Shaped®leather
neck slider up or down the leash. In doing so you will encounter a
positive resistance which guarantees that the keeper will remain in
the position you selected. Using the slip collar this way allows you
to take advantage of the "choking" mechanism of the cordage.
However, unlike metal choke collars which have the tendency to ruin
the hair when used frequently, this Slip Lead had no
problem in this sense at all.
Toby seemed to grasp the idea of the new slip collar leash right away,
responding better to the combination of voice + slip collar leash
commands than the traditional style leash. He is still a young dog
so his performance of commands is not always immediate or correct;
yet, with a quick tug of the Slip Lead, Toby was able
to easily understand and obey my commands without the raising of voices,
or stronger reminders.
Final Comments
A great product. Easy to use and effective. Dog owners will want
one in all their vehicles. Perfect length so no need to fumble with
the leash or deal with extra material. Keeps the dog's attention for
training while it is easy to use for taking a casual stroll. Slip
Lead is easy on the hand with a very comfortable grip and
texture. [It is also easy on the voice ... no need to raise it, just
a small tug].
The
Slip Lead has quickly become our first choice when selecting
the dog collar. Day in / day out a simple, effective, well manufactured
product for every dog owner.
