FAQs

What is the maximum weight this lead can hold?

This Ancol Extreme Rope Slip Lead is designed to hold a maximum weight of 50kg.

How do I properly fit a slip lead?

Loop the lead around your dog's neck, passing the lead end through the D-ring. Adjust the leather toggle so that when the lead is slack, you can comfortably fit two fingers between the lead and your dog's neck. The loop should tighten when the dog pulls and loosen when they relax.

Can this lead be used for training puppies?

While durable, the slip lead mechanism is generally more suited for dogs that understand basic lead manners or are being actively trained with this type of lead. It is not typically recommended for very young puppies who may not respond well to the tightening action.

What are the dimensions of the lead?

The lead measures 1.2 meters in length and is 12mm in width.

What colors are available?

This specific model is Black/Grey. Other variants in the Ancol Rope Dog Lead range are available in Red and Blue.

How should I clean the lead?

Hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Is the leather adjuster replaceable?

The leather adjuster is integral to the design and is not designed to be user-replaceable. If it becomes damaged, contact the retailer or manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Lead is too loose and doesn't provide control.

Ensure the leather adjuster is set correctly, creating a snug fit around the dog's neck. Check that the lead is threaded through the D-ring properly to form the sliding loop.

Lead is too tight and uncomfortable for the dog.

Readjust the leather toggle to allow more space. You should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between the lead and the dog's neck when the lead is slack.

Nylon weave feels stiff.

The lead may require a break-in period. Gently flex the lead and use it regularly. Avoid excessive force or tension until it softens.

Leather adjuster is difficult to move.

The leather may be new. Try gently working the adjuster back and forth. Avoid using oils or conditioners on the leather unless specifically recommended, as it could make it too slippery.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable for strong and active dogs.
  • Secure slip lead design offers good control.
  • Comfortable to hold due to soft material.
  • Adjustable fit ensures safety and comfort.
  • High weight capacity suitable for large breeds.

Cons

  • Slip lead mechanism requires proper fitting to avoid discomfort or escape.
  • May not be suitable for dogs unfamiliar with slip leads.
  • Limited color options for this specific model (Black/Grey).
  • Can be stiff initially until broken in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the slip lead, loop one end around your dog's neck, ensuring the fixed end sits above the D-ring. Pass the other end through the D-ring to create the sliding loop. Adjust the leather toggle so the loop is snug but allows two fingers to fit comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. When the dog pulls, the loop tightens; when relaxed, it loosens.

Compatibility: This lead is designed for dogs and is rated for a maximum weight of 50kg. It is best suited for dogs that are accustomed to or can be trained with a slip lead. Not recommended for puppies or very small dogs where precise control might be less critical or the mechanism could be too large.

Care: Clean the lead by hand with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and the leather adjuster.
