Dewclaw69 484 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) i use this one. handy bit of kit. means i dont have to run him with a collar http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/All-in-One-Quick-Release-Slip-Lead-Collar-Lurcher-Greyhound-Lamping-Coursing-/251440328002?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Steamers_Cookers_PP&hash=item3a8b02ed42 A keen dog can easily pull out of them ....... not mine socks. his nut's too big and its on the tightest setting. its definitely good enough to stop him and he is keen alright. the wrist strap is only there to retain the lead on the slip and the finger loop used to slip/tighten as you need. been using this a couple of months now on the lamp and he aint got off yet unless i mean him to. when i lamp with him he's a dab hand at nicking back rabbits that have just made it through a gate or fence. i'd rather the dog twist out of any lead than have to run a hundred yards to save him hanging himself by a collar Edited November 24, 2014 by robs5230 Quote Link to post

Moorside 642 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) We use what my mates call 'gypsy slips' which are a leather collar with one looped length of leather which goes over youre wrist, and one straight piece that tightens and gives you good control. Used em on all the dogs we run from 20' beddy whippet to 28' deerhoundx and theyre strong enough for the bullxs. Really good bit of kit imo Edited November 24, 2014 by Moorside Quote Link to post
shealy1 71 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 The strong stuff slips are good stuff failing that old seat beat out of a car or a rope slip lead Quote Link to post

Meeks 153 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 So does most people prefer to run there dogs with collars on or off? I only put a collar on him when out with the lamp and use a piece of rope,but when out ferreting I prefer to leave the collar off cos am a bit para he gets snagged up cos were forever under hedge rows/fences etc Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Nothing unless in company Been getting my pup used to working without a slip and it's most rewarding and enjoyable. Taught her the "wait" command as a pup to stop her jumping out of the motor when I open the boot or to stop her jumping fences before me etc so that was half the battle done. trying to teach mine to jump clear of the subrau instead of 500 cart wheel's been throwing out the door at 40mph.... then on to shouting out watch your toes for these cold froozen nights (Your bitch is looking well fellah maturing nicely) Quote Link to post
