Leather Training Leads for Dogs

Pet Treats have a range of both nylon and leather training leads for dogs. The leather training leads being available in both a standard and deluxe round leather design. These leads are designed specifically for use with dog training and more specialised dog handling such as security work. As with the police dog training leads these leads offer various options for changing the length and method of holding the dog by the lead.

This article discusses the design and uses of the two of the dog training leads available from Pet Treats. These leads are in the standard leather dog training lead Range.

The Leather training lead for dogs

The standard leather training lead is available in two lengths of 1.8m and 2.6m.

The 1.8m leather training lead

This is the most basic and simple dog training lead available from Pet Treats. The lead has a simple ring fitted at the handle end. This ring allows the dog handler to halve the length of the dog lead by simply clipping the ring into the clasp that attaches the lead to the dogs collar. Once clipped into the clasp the overall length of the training lead is halved and the dog handler uses the newly formed loop as the handle of the lead. This is a basic dog training lead that can be halved in length for closer work whilst walking or training the dog.

The 2.6m leather training lead

The longer of the two leather training leads is more diverse with a clasp at both ends and two D rings positioned along the length of the leather lead. The first of the two rings is positioned approximately 6” from one end of the training lead with the other ring approximately 60” from the same end. The handle of the lead is formed by clipping either of the two end clasps to any of the two D rings. This freedom of choice offers several options in relation to the length and handling of the lead. This lead also offers the provision of a hands free dog training lead.

Option One - the most basic function 2.1m

Its most basic function provides a dog training lead that has a total length of 2.1m. The size is reduced from 2.6m down to 2.1m when the first handle is formed by clipping one of the end clasps into the nearest D ring. This is a good length for medium range distance training as it provides plenty of space between the dog handler and the dog.

Option Two - 1.4m

By moving the same clasp as used in option one further down the training lead and clipping it into the D ring near the other clasp the overall length is reduced to 1.4m. The large leather loop formed by the training lead is used as the handle. As well as providing a basic handle this loop can also be used over the shoulder for very close hands free training.

Option Three - 1.8m

The intermediate length of 1.8m can also be created by switching to the other clasp. By clipping this alternative clasp into the D ring around the centre of the dog training lead an overall length of approximately 1.8m is achieved. Once again the handle is formed from the large loop section of the training lead. This loop section of the training lead can be easily slipped over the shoulder and is ideal for hands free dog training at close range.

Slip Leads for dogs from Pet Treats

Slip Leads for dogs are a very popular dog leash. Dog Slip Leads can be used for many aspects of dog work. Gun dog work, dog obedience training and just every day dog walks are all functions that fall within the Slip Leads versatility.

Pet Treats offer a wide range of Slip leads for dogs. Various lengths mixed with our great range of colour selections offer a slip lead to meet most owner requirements.

Simple, Versatile and fully adjustable.

One reason the dog slip lead and particularly the rope slip lead for dogs has become so popular is its simplicity and versatile use. The slip lead is basically a combination of both dog lead and dog collar. The collar section is a basic running loop that simply slips over the dogs head. Once in position the slip lead can be adjusted to  size  by a simple toggle mechanism known as 'The keep'.

One size fits all

The collar section of the slip lead will fit any type of dog taking out the worry of finding the correct size for the larger dog breeds and of course rapidly growing pups.

Benefit from a built in check collar

The collar section also offers the added benefits of a basic check collar. The loop will tighten if the dog pulls too hard and a simple tug on the dog lead will re-inforce that the dog should come back to your side.

Summing up

The Slip Lead therefore offers you as the dog handler a strong yet lightweight dog lead that is very comfortable to handle. No collar sizing problems and even better, a check collar function. Dog slip leads are extremely quick to fit and just as quick to release your dog. That makes these leads very practical for bringing both working dogs and family pets under control quickly and without fuss.
