Product Information
Full details
The Jack Pyke Dog Slip Lead is an ideal tool for dog owners and professional handlers who require a reliable, versatile leash for training or daily exercise. Featuring a 150cm length and durable 10mm braided nylon construction, it offers excellent control for all breeds; however, users should note that as a slip-style lead, it requires proper adjustment of the sliding leather stopper to prevent the collar from tightening excessively around the dog's neck.

FAQs
Is this lead suitable for puppies?
Yes, the soft braided nylon is gentle enough for puppies, provided you monitor the fit and ensure the leather stopper is correctly positioned.
Will this lead rust?
The lead does not contain metal clips, so there is no risk of rust.
Can I use this for aggressive pullers?
Slip leads are effective training tools, but if your dog pulls severely, it is recommended to combine this with professional leash training to avoid neck strain.
What is the total length of the lead?
The lead is 150cm long, which provides a standard walking length suitable for most daily activities.
How do I clean the leather binding?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. You can apply a leather conditioner occasionally to keep it soft and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
The lead slips off the dog's head too easily
Ensure the leather stopper is moved closer to the dog's neck after the loop is positioned to prevent the loop from expanding.
The nylon feels stiff after long-term use
Soak the lead in warm water with a small amount of mild fabric softener, then work the nylon with your hands to loosen the fibers before air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Jack Pyke Dog Slip Lead is straightforward: simply slide the loop over your dog's head, adjust the leather stopper so it fits comfortably behind the ears, and ensure there is enough slack so the dog can breathe freely. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the nylon in warm, soapy water after a particularly muddy outing and air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the leather binding. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the leather parts to prevent cracking and maintain the supple feel of the material.
