Why do we recommend a slip lead?
A slip lead is a gentle, effective tool that provides clear communication and control while walking your dog. When used correctly, it requires no force and will not hurt your dog—just calm, intentional guidance.
How do we use a slip lead?
The slip lead should sit high on the neck, just behind the ears, resting on top of the flat collar. This position takes pressure off the trachea and allows for better control. More control of the body leads to better communication with the mind.
When the leash sits lower on the neck near the shoulders, dogs can pull more easily—this is the strongest part of their body.
Left side or right side walking
Slip leads are directional, so decide which side your dog will walk on.
- Left side: When your dog is facing you, form a “P” shape with the leash and place it over their head.
- Right side: Form a “Q” shape instead.
Proper placement
Slide the stopper down so the leash stays high on the neck without tightening constantly. When light pressure is applied, there should be about one inch of space between the leather stopper and the ring.
How to hold the leash
Think “thumbs up, coffee cup.”
Hold the leash upright like a coffee cup—this positions your pinky toward your dog, allowing subtle wrist and hand movements for clear, gentle feedback.
Keep the leash short but relaxed, with a bit of slack—controlled, never tense.
Figure 8 Leash
If your dog is a strong puller and you’re concerned about pressure on the neck, a Figure 8 leash can be a great alternative. Using our standard slip lead, you can configure into a figure 8, with one loop resting over the nose.
Because it crosses under the chin, there is no pressure on the neck. Many dogs respond well to the gentle guidance on the nose, which can help encourage calmer, more focused walking.
If your dog is sensitive to new sensations on their nose, go slow and be patient. Use food to create a positive association, introduce the Figure 8 during calm moments, and start with just a few steps at a time. You can also use a standard leash at the same time initially to remove pressure from the Figure 8. Begin in a low-distraction environment and build up gradually.
