Why pay daft money :blink: I use a length of climbing rope with a knot at one end. Just put it under the collar and your sorted :thumbs:

I had a real nice one, leather with a wooden handle.

Much better than the rope or strap, i'll buy onother myself when i come across another decent one.

thanks lads, ropes ok but he will still be running wi collar on, where would i get one of them from?? iam goin 2 chatsworth show next week might get one from there...

if you have a length of rope and a bit less than half way down it you tie a loop, you could put one end through the loop and then you would be left with a loop big enough to go over the head, hold both ends and to slip the dog just let go of the end thats been put through the loop, hope you can understand what I mean by that, I'll post a pic of one I made later on.

Get some from strong stuff, purpose made for the job and cheap as chips.

 

He will do you a very nice girly pink if you require

Tried just about every variation on slip leads over the years, from a bit of old rope to them propper coursing toggle things, all are shite, unless your out in company, where restraint is nessasary.

Try to teach your dog to work 'off slip' when on its own and the more graft it sees the easier it'll be.

 

Most 'made' slips (factory) like the toggle are great if you plan on one or two slips a night, as getting the feckers back on 'em certainly dampens the spirit when your messing about with it, your mutt's doin cartwheels and a whole field of bunnys is happily heading for home!

 

Nowt wrong with 'collars on' either, to be honest, I insist, working off slip or on, I need to be able to control (restrain) my dog in any situation that arises on a night (or day) out. Your dog is more likely to come a cropper with sommat else than a neck injury from its collar and dogs necks are one of their strongest parts so unless they go arse over tit in a ditch, no worrys there.

 

Like Wilf said, and i've used 'em plenty lately, Strong Stuffs slips are strong, cheap and most important, dead easy and fast to use, quick to put a dog on, quick to let a dog off.... All you need really!
