Made in Australia
Experience the superior quality of the Zendi dog training slip lead, meticulously handcrafted in Australia. Made from premium, 12mm UV-coated polypropylene rope, this lead features high-strength stainless steel 316 fittings and industrial-strength, back-stitched joins. Designed to offer a secure fit, it provides firm yet gentle guidance, ensuring your dog receives the best in both craftsmanship and reliability.
The 1.3m lead length is ideal for teaching your dog to walk calmly beside you, regardless of size. However if you need more flexibility for different training scenarios or want to give your dog free time when walking, consider opting for a longer length. For those who use our slip leads as figure-8 halters, we recommend a minimum length of 1.8m, combined with our safety collar connector strap for added security.
Our training leads come in three widths: 6mm, 12mm, and 16mm, each designed to accommodate different needs:
Important: Never leave a slip collar on a tied-up or unsupervised dog.
The nylon stopper is an extremely important part of the leash. The stopper is used to custom fit the collar section to every size dog and by having the collar fit correctly you can place it high on the dogs neck below its ears for maximum control not down low were the majority of collars sit. The stopper is also in place as a safety mechanism to prevent the leash from coming loose and your dog from backing out of the leash. PLEASE BEWARE OF SIMILAR LEADS WITHOUT THIS STOPPER.
***OUR LEADS ARE GUARANTEED NOT TO BREAK*** (chewing and miss use not included)

Directions:
1. Make a loop big enough to go over your dogs head by sliding back the Nylon stopper. Then politely place over your dogs head.
2. Place the loop in the correct position which is at the highest point of your dog’s neck behind her ears.
3. Now slide the nylon stopper down into position to keep the collar section in place and to prevent your dog from backing out of the lead. You should be able to get two fingers easily under collar.
4. The lead has to come straight through the collar ring towards you in order for it to release after correction. If the lead comes from under your dogs neck or bends through collar ring it can be made tight but will not release back to a loose condition. This constant pressure on the neck elicits a counter pressure response. Most dogs will learn to strain and pull on the leash if they feel constant pressure around their neck.
***When using a leash on a puppy for the first time the most important thing is to get the puppy to accept the lead/collar and to walk forward. Do not use the correction part of the lead until your puppy is accustomed to walking on the lead. Reward and encourage your puppy to walk forward. Do not worry at this stage where he/she is postioned in relation to you.***
Correction of the collar works by making the collar tight then loose in a fast way. Making the collar tight is the first correction; making it loose again will finalize the correction. The correction should be quick and match your dog’s energy. Do not allow your dog to get in front of you and pull on the lead.
No Slip collar should ever be left on dogs that are tied up or unsupervised.
Another important detail of leash training is that you must always let the dog come to the leash, Never force the leash onto your dog, the first few times, this may take patience. Try using a treat to encourage your dog to put his/her head through the collar section.
Leash training should be started from a very early age in such a way that the leash is barely noticeable and has only positive connotations for your puppy / dog. Done right, leash training strengthens the connections between you and your puppy / dog. It becomes a physical cord through which your energy travels to her and vice versa.
When out walking should your dog get excited or agitated when she sees another dog or incident, this is not the time for you to get excited or agitated too! Keep your focus and most importantly your calm assertive energy, and continue walking. A slight side pull correction on the leash will communicate “Don’t get distracted keep on walking”. The leash should always be loose unless you are giving your dog a correction.
When correcting your dog, it’s your energy, your mindset, and the timing of the correction that matter more than the method – as long as the method isn’t abusive. Never strike a dog. A word, a sound, or a quick, assertive touch can snap a dog out of an unwanted state. A quick touch to your dog’s neck or side is enough to redirect your dog’s attention back to you, the pack leader.
The timing of a correction is vital. You can’t wait even two minutes before correcting a dog, because chances are she’s already moved on to another state of mind. Corrections have to happen the split second the dog begins the unwanted behaviour – and be repeated every time the rule is broken – before a dog will understand what aspects of her behaviour are unwanted by you.
And always remember that it’s not the tool that matters! Your energy passes through the leash directly to your dog, so if you are uncomfortable in any way with the training tool you are using, your dog will sense it and react accordingly.
Walking Tips
Owner and dog should stay calm when putting leash on.
Make sure you are always first out the door / yard.
The walk is an extremely important ritual for a dog as it gives your dogs mind and body a workout.
The best time for a walk is in the morning so your dog is relaxed for the rest of the day whilst you are out.
In order to be your dog’s leader your dog should be next to you or slightly behind you.
The leash should be short but not tight / tense.
Leash correction should be quick and match your dog’s energy. Never strike or abuse your dog.
Don’t allow your dog’s nose to be on the ground for the majority of the walk.
Don’t put tension on the leash as it will carry down to your dog and teach your dog to pull.
You can use a leash for training inside.
Use simple words or sounds that won’t confuse your dog when communicating with her. No and go are not good words as they are too similar and mean the complete opposite to each other.
Encourage your dog to hold his head high as it is a sign of healthy self-esteem.
Always use a leash for control when teaching something new.
If your dog begins to pull, pull up lightly on the leash, then immediately release the tension once the dog gets back in line keep the tension loose at all other times.
It is not the tool it’s the energy. The tool is there to assist you so stay relaxed, calm and assertive.
