The length of clip lead is a personal choice but usually the smaller the dog the longer the lead. The most popular length of slip lead is 1.5mt (5') in 4, 6, 8 and 10mm and our 12mm 1.2m (4') and 1.8m (6') lengths.

Do you have a dog that pulls?

Try our rope slip halter. It's our basic slip lead that we have been making for years but have added it to our list after a customer gave us some fantastic feedback, saying it was now a joy to take her dog for a walk. See our code 029 which is a 2m slip lead and shows some photos of how to use it as a slip halter.
