Why Choose EzyDog Dog Slip Leads?
Frequently Asked Questions
Are slip leads bad for dogs?
An unstopped loop on a hard puller can close on the windpipe. That is where the bad reputation comes from. Every EzyDog slip lead has a stopper that caps how far the loop can close, so it cannot tighten past a safe fit. For heavy pullers, use a no-pull harness instead.
How do I put a slip lead on my dog, and where should it sit?
Slip the loop over the head and position it high on the neck, just behind the ears, where you get most control for least pressure. Slide the stopper until two fingers fit underneath. Snug, never tight. Never leave it on an unsupervised dog.
Are slip leads safe for puppies?
Yes, with supervision and a correct fit. The stopper matters most on a puppy, who will lunge without warning and does not yet understand a lead. Set it to two fingers' clearance and use it for training sessions, not all-day wear.
Is a slip lead safe for a French Bulldog?
This is where the stopper matters most. Brachycephalic breeds have a compromised airway already. A stopper holds the loop at a fixed circumference so it cannot close on the windpipe, which is why trainers recommend them for Frenchies, Pugs, and Bulldogs.
Which slip lead is best for a large dog?
The Luca Rope Lead in a larger size. Climbing rope handles the load of a Labrador or German Shepherd without stretching, and the stopper holds when a big dog surges. Check the size guide for the right loop.
Can I use a slip lead on a small dog?
Yes. The Luca sizes down to small breeds. The stopper matters more here, not less, because there is less neck and less margin for error. Set it to two fingers and no more.
What is the difference between a slip lead and a standard lead?
A slip lead is collar and lead in one. It goes over the head and comes off in seconds. A standard lead clips to a separate collar or harness. Slip leads suit training and quick handling; standard leads suit long walks.
Can I use a slip lead with a harness?
Slip leads are made to be worn on their own. If your dog pulls hard enough that you want a harness, a slip lead is the wrong tool for that walk. Use a no-pull harness and keep the slip lead for training.
How durable are EzyDog slip leads?
The Luca uses the same climbing rope found in mountaineering: abrasion-resistant and weather-proof. The Marine Lead uses marine-grade materials built for wet and coastal conditions.
How do I clean a slip lead?
Rinse off mud or salt water after a walk. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap and air dry fully. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat.
What warranty do you offer?
Every EzyDog slip lead is covered by a 1-Year Warranty against manufacturing defects.
