How to use a Slip Lead- with Steve from Pack Leader Dogs

Slip Lead if you are looking for one:

Many tools that are used for dogs get a bad rep simply because people are not sure of how they are used

In this video, we wanted to eliminate any confusion about the slip lead. It is a tool that, if used correctly, can greatly improve control with a dog.

Let us know what other tools you would like for us to explain. We started with the slip lead because its our most basic tool. Share with friends and family that can use this helpful tip!

O my goodness, you explained this slip lead so well, now I feel more confident. Thank you very much!

[EllenSails]

Thank you for such a concise, clear video to explain this! This now raises the question for me - how to switch sides easily? Because I walk my dog on each side throughout our walk.

Thanks so much! This is the only video I have found that shows me how to put the slip lead on and use the stopper to keep the leash from coming off. I guess everyone else thinks it is obvious, but I didn't know. If nobody shows me how to get the leash on...all the videos about training do no good. So, once again, I appreciate that you are able to start by assuming the dog owner doesn't know anything about the slip lead, because....I didn't!

Jake is such a great model, so sweet and calm.

Thanks so much for this info.
I done a Dog Training Class today.
I purchased one of these.
I use to use the harness.
My Trainer told me to stop.
So now I have to train myself and pup on a slip lead.
Great Video.
Thanks

This video is a perfect demonstration on how to properly put the leash on the dog. Every other video I’ve found they’ve kinda sped through it. You’re awesome dude🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I will definitely be giving our slip lead another try, at the top of her neck this time. I stopped because it was choking her and I didnt know what I was doing wrong. Good info!

I have always had small older dogs. My last dog died of old age and two weeks ago I adopted a two year old Bully who is very active. They gave me a cloth lead but I feel that it was not effective but I also felt it was me.
You just showed me it was the combo.
I'm getting a real leash with this mechanism and we will practice this week. Thank you Sir for explaining not so clearly. For safety sale when we are outside by this is so important.
Thank you

I loved everything about this EXCEPT when you talked about roller blading with a slip lead on a dog to pull you. I don't support the idea of using a slip lead for a dog to pull. That's what harnesses are for! Overall, good video though!

[ElephantPatronus]

Best explanation that I’ve seen. Thank you. 🙏 🐶

I found this video to be very helpful. Thank you for explaining this so well.

I was using it wrong too and thank you for showing me how to put it on
He got lose one time and ran in the hwy. Now I use another lead on his collar and let it drag. I walkk with a roll later bad knee

[Lunika]

My 7 month puppy pulls so much! I was getting frustrated that no matter what I tried, it wasn't helping the situation. He's gotten bigger and stronger and I'm afraid that I'll go tumbling down 2 flights of stairs if not corrected. This random lady approached me yesterday at my dog park and suggested i do a makeshift slip leash. I tried it and saw immediate results. Got one off Amazon and now I'm hopeful that this will solve our pulling issues even with the older dog!

Excellent tool simple but very effective
and most importantly not as expensive and safer that a prong collar

[khendricks]

Love your instruction; the P or the 9 is easy to remember

[amandawoodward]

Very nice. I just got one to try cause I'm working to set some structure and hopefully get better results from her. I tried it out and immediately felt bad cause turns out after watching this I had it to low. Thank you so much for this!

[Drmanipnoid]

I just picked one up. This was really helpful. Cheers

[robertennew]

Helpful video, thanks. Especially appreciate the positioning explanations... a tradesman never blames his tools, you're right I knew I was doing it wrong (too low & loose, long fur).
*Husky better behaved then it's human, my bad encouraging her to pull as too loose lol

[marjoriejohnson]

Great video. What I need is a video aimed at retraining a dog to leash walk. I had just started and she was learning well when I was hospitalized. She then walked for miles daily ( to many for a 6 month old) with someone that let her pull on leash, outfront and pretty much let her set the pace. I have hot been able to start again because of health and using a walker. I have had a bad couple of years and now in a wheelchair but I have someone willing to take me and dog to a walking trail. I would love some pointers on how to make this enjoyable for me, caregiver and mostly my beautiful dog companion. P.s. she is a energetic shetland shepard.
