Love this leash!
I purchased this leash for my three-year-old Dachshund that weighs 18 pounds. I love to go on long walks with him and I sometimes let him go off leash when we are in more rural areas as he behaves very well. I was looking for a leash that was easy to slip on and off for this reason. My dog also slips out of his collar every now and then so I thought this would be a perfect fit for my needs. When used correctly, slip leads do not choke the dog and make handling dogs that may be not as great on a leash or are in training to walk on a leash nicely a lot easier. I would say this product is great for any dog owner who enjoys walking with their dog, whether they are fully leash trained or not. I see that it would be a great benefit to someone who wants more control of their dog, whether they are strong or big or both as the pressure the lead puts on when they pull is very effective, even with my small dog. I have great control using this leash and I would be very comfortable walking a large, strong dog with it. The smoothness of the lead is also a great attribute. I do not think I would get a rope burn if a large dog were to pull hard on it. Another great use of this leash would be for a rescue, as it is easy to slip leads on and off between dogs. The lead is a nice thick material that is very soft and smooth. It is tri-colored and I think the colors are so bright and fun and I see that the lead comes in other colors as well, even with different brands! The leather part that stops the lead from slipping too far back and is on the ends of both sides of the leash is very durable and has a great design to it. The whole leash itself is very durable and I think it will last me a long time. The ring that slips on the lead is a great size and it slips very easily which is great. The leash is also a great length, at 6 feet; I have no problem walking my Dachshund with it. I had a great experience with this company as it shipped very fast and I couldnât be more pleased with this product.

Best Lead – Exactly As Expected
This lead is awesome. Simply put: It does exactly what I wanted it to do. First off, I’ll address that it is a little stiff, at first, but nothing that a few break-in stretches wouldn’t help. The only other thing I can complain about is that sometimes the ringed end that is looped through can be a little heavy, as in that it sags a little during a walk, but nothing that would take away from the overall rating.I’ve used other leashes before: home made nylons, store bought nylons with clips, but the slip lead style is great. Yes, you could probably make one for a little cheaper, but when it comes to my dog, I’d rather spend the extra $5 (or whatever it may come out to be) to be sure of the quality. Not only that, but I spent more on a 6′ nylon leash with a clip on the end that gave me very little control over my dog. The leash is comfortable in my hand and my dog seems to enjoy it. She responds to the lead very well and has made walks exceptionally easy and enjoyable.The rope it is made with is durable, yet soft, and the leather seems to be the same story. They leather is supple, but strong and makes for good looking accents. The whole lead seems to be made well and thought out pretty well. I would highly recommend this lead to anyone and suggest the 4′ version over the 6′ (unless you have an extra large dog and are extremely tall) because the 6′ would take away from the benefits of the leash, if it was used on a normal/smaller dog.

You Will Love It!
I have worked with dogs for 28 years and this is honestly the best type of leash I have ever used. They are a slip type of lead, which makes it really very easy to get on your dog. If you have an excited pup you can make the head loop really big, and easily slip it over their moving head. (People who have struggled to clip a leash onto the collar of an excited, and ready to go pup will understand.) I have some arthritis in my hands and it’s super nice not to have to struggle with clips. The lead has a nice soft, feel to it but is very sturdy . If your dog is a puller you can comfortably keep a good hold on him, and It also has a nice leather slide that allows you secure the neck loop from becoming to loose around your dogs neck. I mostly use the slide when i put my dog into the car so her bouncing around does not work the leash loose., but it also comes in handy if you just want to let them walk around with the leash on for a bit when your not quite ready to go. Being a slip lead it will tighten around your dogs neck if they pull to hard, but I have found that the soft material tends to encourage them slowing down, just like their pulling against a collar would. I also do very much like that this leash does not require a collar. While I strongly encourage a collar and ID whenever a dog goes out, the ease of just “loop and go” with this leash is really fantastic! The colors are also vibrant and great. I definitely recommend the 6′ length, having found that the shorter one I bought is mostly left in the closet. Perhaps because with the longer it is much more easy to give your dog some extra length when he needs it, to potty and such, and then its very comfortable to hold more of the leash in your hands and shorten his field.. The 3/8 is great for small and medium dogs, and the 1/2 is best for big dogs like Labradors and such. I use the large for my Saint Bernard and the 3/8 for my Shih Tzu.

This slip lead is stellar! It’s easy to use, easy to hold and easy to take off. My puppy gets very excited as soon as she sees it. I’ve been using it exclusively since receiving it – for walks and for potty training. Highly recommended!Since I’ve only had it for several weeks, I cannot comment on durability or sturdiness.

My puppies teeth easily cut through it. It is durable

When the box came I had no idea the leash was in there as the box was very light. I opened the package and at first, was a little disappointed because it was so light and which makes one think not very strong. This is not a cheap leash BUT it is very lightweight and strong and appears well made. The lightness and slip lead makes everything easier and I’ve been training dogs since the 60s’. This is a surprisingly good product and makes training IF used correctly very easy.
