slip leads


Recommended Posts

buy a decent collar and then buy some ratchet strap material and cut it to the length you need, seal the cut end with a lighter and slip it through the collar and kepp hold of one end and release the other to slip the dog, loads better, loads cheaper, loads quieter! better all round

 

I used to use looped bailer twine, then I slpiced some rope into a slip but found both of these cut into my wrist once Roo had seen the quarry. I now use a section cut from a cheap ratchet strap but intead of cutting it then melting the end with a lighter, I heat an old sharp knife on the fire and cut it with this. It cuts and seals at the same time and you don't end up with a stiff blob at the end of your slip. Rough bit of sewing to form a loop for your wrist in one end and hey presto a decent slip lead!
