How to Use a Training Lead

In this short video Andre Millan and Jen Gray show how to properly use a slip lead.

Oh my gosh it just dawned on me how much Andre has grown up. I still remember him as a little like 13 year old boy. Woah.

Best explanation and demonstration of use of the slip lease I have heard yet. Thanks for your work on the video.

A few months ago I broke my ankle and since my 70lb lab has seemed to forgotten all of her training. I happened to see a Cesar leash pull video quite by accident and reverted back to using a training lead. Thank you, Cesar!

Many thanks for that clarity, filled in the gaps from other instructors

Congratulations Andre, your dad can be really proud of you! Watching you was just like watching Cesar in a bit younger "version" (becasue he still looks ageless and young and happy like a teen! ). Great, proud and happy way of intruducing the video with wonderful Miss Jen Gray! It was the first time I saw you in a video, wish many more balanced, rehabilitated dogs and people with your dad! Keep up the happy, positive energy! Peace from Hungary, Best Regards: Gergely

Thank you for showing this video! I was just told by a trainer at a pet store that they don’t sell slip leashes because they are bad for dogs and can choke them. Yes that can happen if you improperly use one but thanks to your video, I know the right way to use one.

Thank you for that outstanding explanation. Safety is of course just as important as control and this video reveals how they happen simultaneously.

All these people commenting on how using this leash is "lazy" and "inhumane" clearly have never walked a dog that is incredibly excitable. I've had my dog for 3 years, and have tried everything. He has anxiety issues and will go completely nuts if a person so much as looks at him a certain way. This leash isn't necessarily for the perfect pure bred golden retriever that can essentially walk itself, it's for problem dogs. So stop calling this leash and the people who use it "inhumane".

Okay this was great. I was having so much issues and so glad I saw this. My puppy is 14 weeks old and I want to start training him on how to properly walk so hopefully using a lead is okay.

Thank you! Was struggling with the falling Down part and you explained it perfectly 🙂

[susans]

Thank you. I was looking for more guidance n this. And did not previously know it was called a slip lead. I thought it was a Mexican leash!

[MissElisabelle]

I have seen this type of leash in competitions, especially on primitive, stubborn and very energetic dogs. I have always wandered why they used the leash that way, now I know!

[bobbitocerealwx]

Just got one of these leashes and it's immediately started to work. Amazing and makes it more enjoyable to take my dog out!

Glad to see Andre hosting the dog training on how to use training lead🌿Sir Cesar could pass his knowledge and ability to his sons as well 🍀

This is a lovely video and excellent advice for the use of a slip lead, but I feel that there are some easier walking products out there for the average person that can be used to teach/discourage a dog from pulling so that he or she keeps pace while at the same time the product stays in place much better so that walkers do not have to constantly worry about it falling down or, worst of all, slipping off. For example, there is a harness called the Easy Walk. I know that when some people hear the word harness, they think that it will actually give the dog greater ease to pull, but this harness is actually designed as a no-pull harness, which actually gives the opposite effect to dogs that go to pull. The ring that is attached to the leash is actually located in the front so that when a dog goes to pull, it actually turns the dog around towards the walker. So the dog learns that if it pulls, it will not get to where it wants to go. I also think it is better for dogs who lunge than the slip lead because if a dog lunges ahead, it not only turns the dog around, but it actually is nowhere near the neck so that it will not come down and possibly choke the dog like a slip lead could.

When you're demonstrating the pack leader collar, you have the part that goes over the dog's neck facing the opposite of how you said it should face. You said it should come through the loop toward the handler; with the pack leader collar you have it going thru the loop away from the handler.

Thank you. I am using a harness on my 1 year old Rottsky but it doesn't work as well as I would like so I plan to try one of these.
