Collection: True Charlie Co. Slip Leads

Q: How do I put on a slip lead?

Open the loop, slide it over your dog’s head, and snug it high behind the ears. Keep the D-ring on the back of the neck and check that the fit isn’t too loose or tight.

Q: Are slip leads safe for my dog?

Yes—when used correctly and under supervision. They’re best for short walks, training or vet visits. Avoid using one on dogs that pull constantly until you’ve worked on leash skills.

Q: How does a slip lead work?

It combines collar and lead in one. The loop gently tightens when the dog pulls and loosens when they relax, providing quick feedback and easy on/off control.

Q: Are slip leads good for puppies?

Use only for short, supervised training sessions with gentle handling. If a puppy pulls a lot, wait and focus on training first to avoid neck strain.

Q: Are slip leads good for reactive dogs?

It depends. In calm, controlled settings they can help with training; in busy areas a harness is usually better since lunging can put too much pressure on the neck.

Frequently Ask Questions

How Do I Put on a Slip Lead? +

To put a slip lead on, extend the loop at the end of the leash so that it’s wider than your dog’s head. Then, slide the loop over your dog’s head like a necklace and tighten it so it fits snug behind your dog’s ears. The D-ring should be on the back of the dog’s neck for better control. Regularly check to make sure the loop isn’t too loose or too tight to ensure your dog’s safety.

Are Slip Leads Safe for My Dog? +

Yes, slip leads are safe for dogs when used correctly under supervision. They’re best for short-term use, such as quick walks, training sessions, and vet visits. Make sure the slip lead fits properly to reduce safety risks. Slip leads aren’t safe to put on a dog that frequently pulls and hasn’t worked on leash training yet because the leash can hurt their neck if they pull too hard.

How Does a Slip Lead Work? +

A slip lead is a collar and leash in one that tightens when your dog pulls and loosens when they relax. The tightening feeling gives gentle, quick feedback to your dog when they pull, so you can teach them that the tightening means to stop and check in with you. When you’re done using a slip lead, it easily slides off, making it great for quickly getting control of your dog for short periods.

Are Slip Leads Good for Puppies? +

Slip leads are good for puppies only in short, supervised training sessions. They can help introduce loose-lead walking without any heavy gear. Slip leads should be introduced with gentle guidance, so don’t yank or pull. If your puppy pulls constantly, it’s best to hold off on using a slip lead since it could hurt your puppy’s delicate neck in those situations.

Are Slip Leads Good for Reactive Dogs? +

It depends on the dog. Slip leads can help leash train reactive dogs in calm, controlled settings, but they’re not ideal in busy areas. They can offer better control than a flat collar, but a harness is best in high-traffic areas since it won’t put pressure on your dog’s neck. Since reactive dogs are prone to lunging and pulling, a slip lead won’t be helpful without proper training due to the excessive pressure that it will cause.
