How to Use:
A slip lead is more than just a leash—it’s a training tool designed to provide clear communication between you and your dog. When used correctly, it helps with loose-lead walking, leash pressure training, and quick handling in real-world scenarios.
Step 1: Proper Placement is Key
One of the biggest mistakes people make is putting the slip lead too low on the neck. For effective control, the lead should sit high, just behind the ears. This gives you better leverage and keeps pressure off the lower throat.
Pro Tip: If your dog pulls, check the placement—it should never sit low like a regular collar.
Step 2: The Right Fit and Tension
A slip lead should form a quick-release loop that tightens when pressure is applied and instantly loosens when your dog responds correctly.
Too loose? The leash won’t be effective.
Too tight? You’ll restrict movement and create unnecessary tension.
The goal is to have clear, light communication—just enough pressure to guide your dog, not to constantly correct them.
Step 3: Using Leash Pressure to Your Advantage
Slip leads work best when paired with leash pressure training. Instead of pulling against your dog, use short, clear cues:
✔️ Apply gentle pressure when your dog moves out of position.
✔️ The moment they respond, release pressure immediately as a reward.
✔️ Reward with food or praise to reinforce good behavior.
Step 4: Teaching Loose-Leash Walking
A slip lead is not meant to be tight the entire walk. The goal is to teach your dog to move with you, not against you.
Walk with relaxed arms and a loose leash when your dog is in the correct position.
If they start pulling ahead, stop, reset, and apply gentle leash pressure to guide them back.
Always reward correct positioning to reinforce engagement and focus.
Step 5: Consistency and Safety
✔️ Always put the lead on in the correct direction—it should tighten when needed and release instantly when pressure stops.
✔️ Never leave a slip lead on an unattended dog. It’s a training tool, not a collar for all-day wear.
✔️ Keep training short and positive, focusing on rewarding engagement instead of constant correction.
