FAQs
What is the purpose of the metal slider?
The unique metal slider is designed to prevent the slip lead from tightening excessively around your dog's neck, thus reducing the risk of choking and ensuring a safer, more comfortable experience.
Is this slip lead suitable for all dogs?
This slip lead is suitable for most adult dogs that are trained or are undergoing training to walk calmly. It is not generally recommended for puppies or dogs that pull significantly without proper training, as it requires a gentle hand and understanding of its function.
How do I properly fit the slip lead?
Form a loop with the lead and place it over your dog's head. The lead should rest above the natural collar position. Adjust the loop so it is snug but not tight when the dog is relaxed. When the dog pulls, the loop will tighten; when it walks nicely, the loop will loosen.
What is the length of the lead?
The lead is 150cm in length, providing a good balance between giving your dog some freedom to explore and maintaining control.
How should I clean the rope lead?
After use, wipe the rope with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allow the lead to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. For the leather tabs, occasional conditioning can help maintain their quality.
What colors are available?
This specific model is available in a Green/Tan color. Other variants may be available in different colors like Brown/Tan and Black.
Troubleshooting
Lead does not slide smoothly
Ensure the metal slider is clean and free of debris. Check for any kinks or knots in the rope. If the rope is very dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and allow it to dry fully.
Loop slips off dog's head unexpectedly
The slip lead needs to be adjusted correctly. Ensure the loop is snug around the dog's neck when relaxed, and the metal slider is oriented properly to prevent it from opening too wide.
Rope feels stiff after cleaning
Allow the rope to air dry completely. You can gently work the rope with your hands to help restore its flexibility. Avoid using harsh detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the Hemmo & Co Rope Slip Lead, form a loop with the lead, ensuring the metal slider is positioned correctly. Place the loop over your dog's head, adjusting so it rests comfortably above the natural collar position. The lead should be snug enough to stay in place but not tight when the dog is relaxed. When the dog pulls, the loop will gently tighten; when relaxed, it loosens. Compatibility: This lead is suitable for most dog breeds and sizes, provided they are accustomed to or being trained with a slip lead. It is not recommended for puppies or dogs that have not been trained to walk without pulling.
Care: To maintain the lead's quality, wipe the rope with a damp cloth after use, especially if exposed to mud or dirt. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat. The full grain leather tabs can be treated periodically with a leather conditioner to keep them supple and prevent drying. Store in a dry place when not in use.
