FAQs

What is the main benefit of the reflective weaving?

The reflective weaving increases visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or nighttime, enhancing safety for your dog and alerting others to their presence.

Can this lead be used for swimming?

Yes, the durable poly-weave webbing is designed to be suitable for walks and swimming, and the material is weatherproof.

How do I determine the correct size for my dog?

Consider your dog's weight and neck size. Refer to the available sizes and their maximum weight limits (e.g., 150 x 0.8cm supports up to 20kg) to select the most appropriate option.

Is the lead suitable for puppies?

The suitability depends on the puppy's size, weight, and training. Ensure the chosen size is appropriate and that the puppy is accustomed to wearing a slip lead.

How should I clean the lead?

Wipe the lead with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high heat.

What materials are used for the adjuster?

The lead features a leather adjuster for a comfortable and secure fit.

Is this lead suitable for strong pullers?

As a slip lead, it can help manage pulling by providing gentle feedback. However, ensure it's fitted correctly and consider your dog's temperament and training level. Always check the weight limit.

Troubleshooting

Lead won't stay adjusted or slips loose

Ensure the leather adjuster is tightened correctly and the fastener is securely in place. Check for wear on the adjuster mechanism.

Reflective threads appear less effective

Gently clean the lead with a damp cloth to remove dirt that may be obscuring the reflective material. Prolonged use may naturally reduce reflectivity.

Lead feels stiff after getting wet

Allow the lead to air dry completely. Avoid using artificial heat sources, which can damage the material. Mild conditioning of the leather parts may be needed after drying.

Dog slips out of the lead

Re-adjust the fit. The slip loop should be positioned high on the neck, just behind the ears, and adjusted to be snug when tension is applied but loose enough to allow breathing when relaxed. Ensure you are using the correct size for your dog.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances safety with reflective material for low-light conditions.
  • Durable and suitable for both dry land and swimming activities.
  • Weatherproof construction ensures longevity.
  • Adjustable fastener provides a secure and comfortable fit.
  • Lightweight design for ease of use.

Cons

  • Specific size limits for maximum weight, requiring careful selection.
  • Reflective quality may diminish with excessive wear and tear over time.
  • As a slip lead, requires proper fitting to avoid discomfort or accidental loosening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit the Slip Lead: Loop the lead over your dog's head, ensuring the looped section goes over the snout and the fixed loop goes behind the ears.
  2. Adjust for Comfort: Use the leather adjuster to ensure the lead is snug but comfortable. When pulled, the lead should gently tighten without choking your dog. When slack, it should not be loose enough for your dog to slip out.
  3. Secure the Fastener: Ensure the fastener is properly positioned and secure.

Compatibility:

This lead is suitable for dogs within the specified weight limits for each size. It is designed to be used with dogs accustomed to slip leads. Always ensure the lead is appropriate for your dog's breed, size, and temperament.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
  • Periodically check the lead for signs of wear and tear, especially the reflective weave and leather adjuster. Discontinue use if damaged.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
