-
8 mm diameter: an ideal balance between agility and robustness, perfect for everyday use with a wide variety of dogs.
-
Slip-lead design: the loop fits over the dog’s head, tightening gently when needed, and loosens when you relax your hold—offering smooth, intuitive control and faster transitions between collar and lead. Wildhunde+1
-
Hand-finished by experienced rope-makers with decades of tradition in every piece—rooted in historic Yorkshire craft.
-
Available in multiple popular colours (York Gold, Eaton Blue, Red, Forest Green, Lilac Purple, Navy, Emerald Green) and two lengths (48″, 60″) to suit your walking style and dog’s size.
-
Ideal for both everyday walks and training sessions where simplicity, reliability and comfort matter.
Why it stands out:
By choosing a traditional rope-lead, you’re selecting a piece of gear that merges function with heritage: the soft texture means less friction and better feel for you, while the slip mechanism keeps things simple and effective. Modern training resources highlight how slip leads can promote better leash manners—when used correctly. Hem & Boo+1
Furthermore, cotton as a material brings added comfort for the dog and the handler, making long walks more pleasant. Mako Pet Supplies+1
Usage & Fit Tips:
-
Place the loop high on the dog’s neck, just behind the ears, for secure yet comfortable fit.
-
Ensure you can slip two fingers under the rope when the loop is resting—enough snugness without discomfort.
-
Because this is a slip-lead (collar + lead combined), it’s very quick to fit and remove—especially handy in busy or variable settings.
-
This is a premium tool: for best results it pairs with basic leash-training where the dog responds to the handler’s cues.
Care Instructions:
-
Wash with mild soap and cool water if needed; hang to dry out of direct sunlight.
-
Inspect regularly for fraying or wear and replace if any structural weakness appears.
-
Store coiled neatly to avoid kinks or tight folds.
