This leash is great, I work in a kennel, and this has become my best friend. Very comfortable to hold and to walk with. The material doesn't bother your hands at all. The little tab you see at the end of the loop is not stationary, it allows you to set how large the loop can get and keep it from falling off the dog. This is excellent when you walk a jack russell and then a newfoundland. It is great to be able to loop a dog real quick as it bolts out of a kennel, rather than having to control the dog in order to clip on a regular leash. The only drawback to this leash is if you have a dog that pulls a lot, especially if its a large dog with a lot of power, not that its tough for the walker but it can hurt the dog. Dogs that pull hard need to be addressed, first you should never let a dog walk you or drag you around if its a all the time thing. The other problem is a dog that pulls on a regular leash can be over time hurting their trachea. This can lead to collapsed trachea, and other throat/breathing problems. This goes for any leash/collar combo, however more so with the slip leash because as the dog pulls harder it gets tighter around their neck. For a dog that pulls a mar-tangle design is more efficient. Or even better than that look into a halter, which is a loop that goes around the snout and then clips behind the dogs ears. Using a halter as the dog pulls their head is turned rather than pressure on the neck, the dog will most of the time tend not to pull because they don't like their head being turned. Another great way to prevent pulling, a stop pull harness my favorite is made by the company premier. The buckle for the leash sits right in the middle of the chest, dogs do not like pressure on the chest so as the pull the pressure makes them want to slow down. Over all this is a great leash for quick things and gaining control of a dog fast, however if you are planning to walk regularly with this make sure your dog is not a puller.

I purchased this lead after borrowing my sister's to walk my previously unwalkable dog. This length (4') and diameter (1/2") lead walks our Gordon Setter without too much excess length. I wanted a leash long enough to allow for control on walks (bathroom stops usually happen after his walk). I opted for the black color and wider diameter lead to differentiate between this and the additional British Slip Lead 6 x 3/8 Salt Pepper I purchased for use with my Bichon-Cocker mix. The manufacturing is top notch; the leather slide is sleek and stylish. But above all this slip lead gets an A+ for functionality! Easily placed high on the neck, it cinches quickly for gentle correction. A must-have for any dog owner!
