Product Information

Full details

The Digby & Fox Dog Slip Lead is an ideal choice for dog owners seeking a streamlined, all-in-one walking tool for training or quick outings. Combining the durability of nylon with the soft, tactile quality of leather, this lead offers excellent control and comfort for both the handler and the dog; however, because it is a slip-style lead, it is best suited for dogs that do not pull excessively to avoid putting undue pressure on the neck.

FAQs

Is this lead suitable for puppies?

It is suitable for dogs that have learned to walk on a loose lead; however, care should be taken with young, high-energy puppies to prevent neck strain.

Can I use this for long-distance hiking?

While durable, this is primarily designed for training and general walking rather than extended off-trail hiking.

Does the red color fade?

The material is high-quality, but like all dyed accessories, it should be kept out of constant, direct sunlight when not in use to maintain color vibrancy.

Can I attach this to a harness?

The slip lead is designed to work as a stand-alone collar and lead combination; it is not intended for use with a separate harness.

How do I ensure the lead doesn't slip off?

Most slip leads include a sliding stopper; ensure this is adjusted comfortably against the neck once the lead is on to prevent it from loosening.

Troubleshooting

The lead feels stiff or dry after exposure to weather.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the leather portions and wipe away the excess to restore suppleness.

The slip ring is not sliding smoothly.

Clean the brass ring with a dry cloth to remove grit or buildup that may be obstructing movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable blend of high-quality materials
  • Soft feel makes it comfortable to hold
  • Stylish and classic brass hardware accents
  • Simple, intuitive slip-on design for rapid attachment
  • Ideal length for standard training and casual exercise

Cons

  • Not suitable for dogs that constantly pull on the lead
  • Material blend requires specific cleaning care
  • Limited to one fixed width size
  • Lack of a handle padding compared to thicker leads

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this lead, simply create a loop with the brass ring and slide it over your dog’s head. Ensure the lead is positioned high on the neck, just behind the ears, for the most effective control.

Care Instructions:

  • Wipe the leather sections with a damp cloth to remove mud or dirt after walks.
  • Use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain the softness of the material and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Ensure the nylon remains dry; if it gets soaked, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
  • Inspect the brass fittings periodically for any debris that might interfere with the sliding mechanism.
