A slip lead, also known as a rope lead, is a type of dog leash that is made of a thin cord or rope that tightens around the dog’s neck when pulled. Slip leads are often used for training, as they give the handler more control over the dog. They can also be used for walking dogs that are difficult to control on a regular leash.
Slip leads are considered to be more humane than choke chains, as they do not cause the dog to choke or gag. However, it is important to use a slip lead correctly in order to avoid injuring the dog. When using a slip lead, it is important to hold the leash loosely and to only tighten it when necessary.
