FAQs
What is the primary material of the Jack Pyke Dog Slip Lead?
The lead is made primarily of soft braided nylon, with stitched leather binding and a leather stopper.
What are the dimensions of the lead?
The lead is 150cm in length and has a diameter of 10mm.
Is this lead suitable for large, strong dogs?
While the lead is durable, its effectiveness for large, strong dogs depends on training and handler control. It is best suited for dogs that do not pull excessively or are actively being trained to walk calmly.
How do I adjust the loop size?
The loop is adjusted by sliding the integrated leather stopper along the braided nylon lead. Position it to create a comfortable yet secure fit around your dog's neck.
Can I use this lead in wet weather?
Yes, the nylon material is generally water-resistant. However, it's advisable to dry the lead after exposure to moisture, especially the leather components, to maintain their condition.
What is the benefit of the slip action?
The slip action provides gentle but immediate feedback to the dog when tension is applied, aiding in training and helping to discourage pulling.
Troubleshooting
Lead loop becomes too loose
Ensure the leather stopper is snug against the braided nylon. If it continues to slip, check for excessive wear on the stopper or nylon loop and consider replacement.
Nylon feels rough after use
This is normal wear for nylon. If it becomes excessively frayed or sharp, the lead should be replaced for the dog's safety.
Leather components appear dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the leather binding and stopper and allow it to soak in. This will help restore flexibility and prevent cracking.
