FAQs
Can I leave this lead on my dog while they are playing off-leash?
No, this is a slip lead designed specifically for walking and training. It should be removed once the dog is off-leash to prevent accidental snagging.
Is this lead suitable for small dogs?
Yes, it is available in various sizes, including 0.8 cm thicknesses, making it suitable for smaller breeds when adjusted correctly.
Does the slip lead hurt the dog?
When used correctly and with the slip stop properly adjusted, it provides firm feedback without causing pain. It should never be used as a choke chain.
How do I clean the lead?
Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then let it air dry.
Does the reflective material wear off?
The reflective elements are woven into the rope for durability, though abrasive surfaces or excessive washing may reduce their brightness over time.
Troubleshooting
The lead feels too loose around the dog's neck.
Adjust the metal slip stop further down the rope to restrict how far the loop can open.
The rope is starting to fray at the ends.
Use a lighter to gently singe the very tip of the rope to prevent further unraveling, ensuring you do not burn the reflective strands.
The ring is sticking and won't slide easily.
Check the ring for debris or grit from the road. Clean the metal ring and the rope area with warm water and wipe dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the lead, simply slide the metal ring along the rope to form a loop large enough to pass over your dog’s head. Once placed, adjust the slip stop to a position that allows the lead to sit comfortably around the dog's neck, ensuring it is not too tight when the lead is slack.
For care, wipe the rope down with a damp cloth if it becomes muddy or dirty after a rainy walk. Allow it to air dry fully in a shaded area to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals as this may damage the reflective properties or the rope's inner core.
